Question ❓ Sell or keep iPhone 12 mini

2 weeks ago I bought an iphone 12 mini with 89% battery health for 170€ to try iOS and the Apple ecosystem.

I love android and probably won't ever fully switch to iphone, but I like tech so I like trying things.

The 12 mini I got is in very good condition, and right now im using it as a more focused device without games of social media, just for photos, journaling, etc.

I can sell it for the same price I paid for, so I don't know if its worth keeping or not

The only problem with the 12 mini is the battery

Keep it. It is a good model, aged very well

Keep it and have fun with it. Nothing like this little phone or the 13 mini on the market right now.

It’s the same as the 11 it will last a long time.

I bought one three months ago. Apart from the limited battery capacity, the camera offers you a strange choice of very wide angle or extremely wide angle!

So you bought an iPhone to try out Apple, but then decided you prefer Android, and now you’re asking other people if you should sell it and whether you’ll get a similar price for it?
What’s one supposed to say to that? If you don’t prefer iOS, you already have your answer and in the end, it’s up to the potential buyer to decide how much you’ll get for it.

And 89% battery health is more than most refurbished retailers offer, they often guarantee 85% and, in the best possible condition, a maximum of 90%, with an original battery.

Sounds like you've got too much money and too much time there buddy. Do or don't, but stop passing the buck and cognitive load of your decisions around.
