Sébastien Page
Sebastien is the Founder and Editor in Chief of iDB. Once a BlackBerry user, Sebastien instantly fell in love with the iPhone when it was first announced in 2007. Shortly after, he decided to start sharing his knowledge of the iPhone and its nascent ecosystem, which led to the creation of this blog. Sebastien currently owns 14 iPhones, 4 iPads, a MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, a MacBook Air, 2 Apple Watches, 3 Apple TVs, countless HomePods and AirTags as well as a few pairs of AirPods. Going from iPhone 12 Pro to iPhone 12 mini
For the past several years, flagship iPhones have become ever so slightly larger and heavier. A few grams here, a millimeter there… It’s barely noticeable from one model to the next one, but over the years, it adds up.
As much as I love using the best iPhone money can buy, this year was an inflection point. The slightly bigger and slightly heavier iPhone 12 Pro was the straw that broke the proverbial camel’s back. This was of course accelerated by the fact that for the first time, Apple released a mini version of a flagship device.
While I have nothing against the iPhone 12 Pro per say, the fact that I could get an almost similarly-spec’ed iPhone but one that is significantly smaller and lighter was very appealing. Hence my move to the iPhone 12 mini!
How to generate a new Safari Website Push Certificate
Action Needed: Website Push Certificate Expires in 30 Days. Your Website Push Certificate will no longer be valid in 30 days. To generate a new certificate, sign in and visit Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles.
If you run a website that send browser push notifications, you have most likely received this email from Apple reminding you that your push certificate for Safari is about to expire. I've been receiving the same email for several years now, but every time I scratch my head wondering how do I do that again.

Now these are the wallpapers from the iPhone 12 models, not the iPhone 12 Pro. We are crossing our fingers that we will be able to get our hands on those too in the near future, but in the meantime, these will have to do.
