One of the surprise announcements at the iPhone 12 event was the return of MagSafe, albeit under a different form and purpose. Now available as an entirely new line of products, MagSafe accessories take advantage of embedded magnets to make connecting your device to a case, charger, stand, etc, a breeze.

The first MagSafe accessory to be available was the MagSafe charger, a $39 charging solution consisting of a cable and a charging puck, similar in essence to the Apple Watch charger.

Going from iPhone 12 Pro to iPhone 12 mini

iPhone 12 mini hello

For the past several years, flagship iPhones have become ever so slightly larger and heavier. A few grams here, a millimeter there… It’s barely noticeable from one model to the next one, but over the years, it adds up.

As much as I love using the best iPhone money can buy, this year was an inflection point. The slightly bigger and slightly heavier iPhone 12 Pro was the straw that broke the proverbial camel’s back. This was of course accelerated by the fact that for the first time, Apple released a mini version of a flagship device.

While I have nothing against the iPhone 12 Pro per say, the fact that I could get an almost similarly-spec’ed iPhone but one that is significantly smaller and lighter was very appealing. Hence my move to the iPhone 12 mini!
