The Apple iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 12 mini both count with extremely similar CPUs, and although the iPhone 12 mini has lesser RAM memory, they both have a Hexa-Core processing unit and a 64 bits processing unit. Apple iPhone 12 mini features a screen that is just as good as the screen in Apple iPhone 12 Pro, because although the Apple iPhone 12 mini has a bit lower resolution of 1080 x 2340 and a quite smaller screen, and they both have the same brightness, it also counts with a just a bit higher number of pixels per inch in the screen.
