By no means Apple‘s most successful product in recent years, the 5G-enabled iPhone 12 mini undoubtedly captured the attention of plenty of bargain hunters during Walmart’s extended Black Friday 2021 festivities, dropping as low as $299 with (almost) no strings attached.
Originally priced at $699 and up (or $729 and up unlocked) a little over a year ago, the refreshingly compact Apple A14 Bionic powerhouse is once again available at a huge discount with no device trade-in or number port-in required.
At $349, the moderately popular iPhone 12 mini is pretty much unrivaled in terms of everything from processing power to camera performance and screen prowess. Yes, the battery life could be better, which is where the larger members of Apple’s iPhone 12 family come in.
Of course, the “regular-sized” variant and the two Pro-branded beasts are a lot costlier than 350 bucks, so you’ll just have to learn to live with the Mini’s compromises if you want to keep your Christmas spending as low as possible.
