iPhone 12 review

It’s easy to dismiss the iPhone 12 as just ‘more of the same’, especially when you consider the new and compact iPhone 12 mini is also an option, and you can always go for the iPhone 13 series now. However, 5G networks are continuing to roll out across the globe, and the MagSafe addition is a useful addition to the iPhone arsenal – these things, combined with an improved design and screen, mean the iPhone 12 will become more useful the longer you own it. It’s no longer the latest iPhone thanks to the iPhone 13, and it doesn’t come with a charger in the box; yes, there are environmental benefits to this, but you may need to factor buying a new charger into the cost of your new iPhone on top of the higher price.

Apple iPhone 12 review: Still excellent in almost every way

The iPhone 12 is an ideal iPhone for many people, thanks to class-leading screen quality, high-quality cameras and great future-proofing (including 5G). Now the iPhone 13 has launched (which doesn’t offer much more, really), the 12’s lower price point is an added appeal. Read full review…

APPLE IPHONE 12 REVIEW: RAISING THE BAR

The iPhone 12 is going to be the default choice for a lot of people buying an iPhone over the next year, and it’s frankly fortunate that the default iPhone is so good. I think most people should get this instead of the iPhone 12 Pro. But I also think if you have an iPhone that’s working for you just fine, there’s not a must-have gotta-get-it feature here to compel you to upgrade. That’s how default phones work: when you need one, get one, and it will be way better than what you were using. When you don’t need one, don’t.

But when the time comes for you to get a new phone and if you end up with this iPhone 12, I think you’re going to love it. Read full review…

Apple iPhone 12 review: The best iPhone for most people

The iPhone 12 is more than just a collection of benchmark numbers, however – more than the sum of its parts. It represents the accumulation of 13 years of development and it definitely shows.

This is a very, very good phone. It may not be the pinnacle of what Apple offers – but it is better than the iPhone 11 and hits the sweet spot of size to features to value for iPhone fans. I expect it will be the most popular phone Apple sells this year and into next. Read full review…

iPhone 12 review

The new A14 chip inside is an impressive little worker, arguably outputting more power than you would ever need right now, even if the iPhone 12 is not a new phone anymore. The battery capacity is slightly lower than on the iPhone 11, but thanks to the A14’s energy efficiency, you will barely feel a hit to battery life.

The screen is now OLED, in line with the Pro iPhones, and not like the LCD display on the iPhone 11. It’s sharper, just a bit more vivid, and it has deeper blacks and infinite contrast.

Where the iPhone 12 falls flat is that its base storage of 64 GB is starting to feel a little restricting in 2022. A $50 extra will get you a 128 GB model, which will allow you some breathing room, especially if you are the kind of person who enjoys having tons of apps and records a lot of videos with their phone camera.

iPhone 12 Review

The iPhone 12 is a solid, competent phone but it is also very expensive. Along with the iPhone 12 mini, it’s clearly positioned as a premium option, with its slick new body, excellent high-resolution OLED screen, and flexible cameras. The choice between the two siblings will come down to personal preference in terms of handling and screen size, but you should also consider the difference in battery life. Read full review…
