The iPhone 12 mini on Amazon (paid link) remains a standout for anyone who wants a phone that fits truly in one hand and disappears into a pocket. It still runs the latest iOS and offers solid battery life for its size, though at five years old it’s only available renewed. For $150 to $200, it’s a bargain compact choice if you can live without the newest chip. If you want something brand new instead, consider the iPhone 16e (paid link).
