iPhone 12 mini drops to $480 pre-paid with a bundled $200 Mastercard, more

Visible Wireless is currently offering an unlocked pre-paid iPhone 12 mini 64GB bundled with a $200 Mastercard gift card and Nimble Fast-Charging Bundle for *$480 shipped*. You’ll have to apply code *SUMMER* at checkout, port over a phone number, and then stay subscribed to the service for two months in order to lock-in the savings. But after that, the unlocked handset can be used on any other carrier. Normally you’d pay $699 for Apple’s latest smartphone alone, with the added gift card and charger bringing an extra $250 in value into the package. Today’s offer marks the best we’ve seen to date and undercuts our previous refurbished mention by $120.

iPhone 12 mini arrives as Apple’s latest take on a more compact smartphone centered around a 5.4-inch Super Retina XDR display. Inside, you’ll get all of the power of the larger iPhone 12 series handsets thanks to the A14 Bionic processor, which comes backed by 64GB of storage, 5G, and Face ID. Returning to that refreshed form-factor, there’s now an updated design reminiscent of the beloved iPhone 4 that’s complemented by Ceramic Shield glass on the back and a dual sensor camera array. Get a closer look in our hands-on review and then head below for more.
