I continue to be surprised by this news, I'm convinced Apple Stores being closed is the driver behind it all. If you're worried it might be too small, why risk it? If you were able to go to a store and try them side by side, I think it would have been an absolute hit. Other than battery life (still pretty good), there's no difference between the non-Pro models.

We have a iPhone 12 Mini in the house and it's just a wonderful size, reachable with a single hand in most cases. The camera is brilliant, it's snappy, it's just a great phone.

We spent a lot of time debating on which size phone to buy. It was replacing an iPhone 7, so we had that alongside an iPhone 8 Plus and an iPhone 5 to compare it to. We had a really good idea of it's size and we have no regrets.

Almost a year in to this being a world-wide issue, the adults are here and taking a far more sensible approach to tackling the Coronavirus pandemic. It's so satisfying to see, on this issue alone. I hope the UK follows their lead and starts to take it all more seriously. Herd immunity isn't working and neither is the viscous lockdown and cycle. Mandating masks is almost a year overdue in this country.

@Femi_Sorry made a very good point about mental health this morning. It might take us some time to get back to and even be able to enjoy normality. I'm not even thinking about going abroad or letting the kids loose in a playground in 2021.

Then there's the potential return to busy office environments, cinemas, shops and anywhere else people gather. We might not want to be near people from outside our 'bubbles' for a while.

If you don't already, follow @devisridhar for a common sense and the realistic (with a bit of positivity thrown in) stance on how things are going.

I know we can all breathe a little easier with a grown up in charge of America again, but this Twitter thread just brought me a lot of joy.

I saw the thumbnail, and instantly thought of The Goonies. That's exactly what this looks like, a modern take on one of my favourite movies of all time! It's set in Hawaii too, so I'll be watching as soon as it's out!

A lot of respect is shown between N.O.R.E. and Pharrell for each other. It's a great conversation to listen too although 3 hours is a long time. They cover a lot of topics and there's some fantastic insight into his career. If you can make the time, high recommend watching this interview.

President or not, he should have been held to the same, if not higher, standard than the rest or us. This action is long overdue. Facebook have suspended his account indefinitely (minimum 2 weeks) and Twitter should do the same instead of waiting for further violations.

Everyone should stop following him, but if the only way that happens is by banning him, so be it. The western world has wasted 5 years on Trump and Brexit. What a world we live in.

I feel so hungry after watching this.

Clever demonstration of the noise cancellation features. I have the regular AirPods and always wondered what transparency mode was like on the Pro models and now I have a pretty good idea thanks to this video.
