The iPhone 12 Mini Makes Me Sick (Literally)

I’m a small phone person. I have narrow hands and jeans with tiny pockets. That’s mostly why I hung onto my first generation iPhone SE for a very long time. But I’ve been longing for a phone with more up-to-date features—particularly a great camera. And once I was vaccinated, going to stores again, and contemplating seeing family and friends—and taking their pictures—getting a new phone seemed suddenly urgent. So, after checking out my options, the iPhone 12 Mini seemed like it would be the perfect phone for me—slim for my small hands, full of the latest features, including a highly rated camera system. And—the icing on the cake—an about-to-be released version came in my favorite color, a sort of blue/purple (think wisteria).

So I preordered a purple iPhone 12 Mini and picked it up two days later. I turned it on, looked lovingly at the home screen…. and burped. I burped again. My head started feeling fuzzy. I put the phone down fast. I knew I was feeling the first symptoms of motion sickness, and could soon be feeling more than a little uncomfortable.
