📖 Overview

The iPhone 12 mini packs Apple's dual 12MP camera system - a stabilized f/1.6 wide and a 12MP ultrawide - into a 5.4-inch body, with the A14 Bionic enabling Smart HDR 3, Night mode on both lenses, and Deep Fusion. It shoots 4K up to 60fps with Dolby Vision HDR, though Apple ProRAW and Log capture remain exclusive to the Pro line. There is no dedicated telephoto, so reach relies on digital crop.
