Which screen should I choose?
If your iPhone originally used an OLED display, the OLED option is usually the best balance of price and display quality. The LCD option costs less and restores normal use, but colour, contrast and black levels will not be as close to the original screen. Genuine Apple screens are the closest match where available, but cost more.
A lower-cost display replacement. It restores normal use, but display quality is not as close to the original OLED screen on models that were designed for OLED.

The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Mini (stylized and marketed as iPhone 12 mini) are a range of smartphones designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. They are the fourteenth-generation, "affordable flagship" iPhones, succeeding the iPhone 11. They were unveiled at a virtually held Apple Special Event at Apple Park in Cupertino, California on October 13, 2020, alongside the "premium flagship" iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max and HomePod Mini. Pre-orders for the iPhone 12 started on October 16, 2020, and the phone became available in most countries on October 23, 2020 alongside the iPhone 12 Pro and fourth-generation iPad Air. Pre-orders for the iPhone 12 Mini began on November 6, 2020, and the phone became available on November 13, 2020 alongside the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
The major upgrades over the iPhone 11 include the addition of a Super Retina XDR OLED as opposed to the Liquid Retina LED-backlit LCD IPS panel on the iPhone 11 and XR, 5G support, the introduction of MagSafe, Apple A14 Bionic system on a chip (SoC), high-dynamic-range video Dolby Vision 4K up to 30 fps and a new Mini model and the term was previously used on smaller Apple devices such as the iPad Mini and Mac Mini. The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Mini, like the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, are the first iPhone models from Apple to no longer include a power adapter or EarPods headphones found in prior iPhone models; however, a USB-C to Lightning cable is included; and this change was retroactively applied to other iPhone models sold by Apple, such as the iPhone XR, iPhone 11 and the second-generation iPhone SE.
The iPhone 12 Mini was discontinued on September 7, 2022, after the introduction of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro.
