| + | [* black] The bottom speaker remains held in place by simple, welcoming Phillips screws. A good start for easy repairs. |
| + | [* black] Removing the speaker reveals an orange ~~lifebuoy~~ rubber gasket just [https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/VP4BE2cGikTdBXKi.full|as seen in the 12 &12 Pro|new_window=true]. This is likely protection against water ingress through the speaker. |
| + | [* black] The [guide|137669|taptic engine is already smaller in bigger 12 phones|stepid=274760|new_window=true] compared to last year's line up, so we didn't expect to see an even smaller version in the 12 Mini. Well! |
| [* black] The ~~tiny~~ taptic engine in the 12 mini measures: 15.14 mm x 10.9 mm x 3.44 mm. This makes it 25% smaller compared to the taptic in the 12 and 12 pro. (0,56 cm^3 in the 12 mini, 0,75 cm^3 in the 12) | |
| [* black] To even out the loss of volume the connector and socket got a whole lot bigger in the 12 mini. | |
| [* black] We indicated before, that there ''might'' have been enough space for a headphone jack in the bottom end of the 12 and 12 Pro, the taptic engine and speaker fit a whole lot better in the narrow corset of the 12 mini. |
