Design & Display

While the physical appearance of the iPhone 12 has not differed much from its predecessors, except for the flat edges rather than curved edges, Apple has included its own refinement on the phone’s protection which is the new Ceramic Shield material that makes the device more durable. Comparing its size to the 5.85-inch iPhone 11 Pro, the phone’s 6.1-inch display might feel a little tall, so it may not entirely be pocket-friendly. Opt for the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 Mini if you prefer a more compact phone. That said, the phone promises a great viewing experience when it comes to movie streaming and gaming. Instead of LCD, Apple uses OLED displays for all models in the iPhone 12 lineup.

Cameras

Although the phone’s cameras look similar to the iPhone 11, Apple has made some upgrades to them. You will notice much more clarity and vibrant colours in photos shot in low-light settings, thanks to the improvements in Smart HDR and Deep Fusion. It is said that there is a 27% improvement in low-light performance, so you will get slightly sharper photos and realistic hues. The only limitation of the iPhone 12’s camera is that it does not offer optical zoom (available in iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max).

5G Coverage

With the advent of 5G mobile network technology, 5G smartphones are becoming ubiquitous these days. While most 5G smartphones out there support only one kind of 5G or specific bands, Apple decided to go all out with its iPhone 12. It has a broader 5G coverage than any other smartphone. Do keep in mind that 5G consumes quite a substantial amount of battery juice. You may opt for the Smart Data Mode to conserve your battery via the phone’s settings.

Overall, the iPhone 12 is a decent smartphone to get if you are planning to upgrade your old iPhone model and currently experiencing lag due to an outdated iOS. It gives you speedy 5G performance, an A14 processor, an immersive OLED display, and outstanding cameras. Together, they ensure a fuss-free user’s experience, making it worth every penny.

Does the iPhone 12 come with a charger and AirPods?

Unfortunately, the iPhone 12 does not come with a power adapter and EarPods, let alone AirPods. This is decided as part of Apple’s environmental efforts. Hence, the only accessory that is bundled with the iPhone 12 is a USB-C to Lightning Cable that supports fast charging and is compatible with USB-C power adapters and computer ports. Apple users are encouraged to re-use their existing power adapters and headphones that are compatible with the iPhone 12.

How many iPhone 12 models are there?

There are four iPhone 12 models in total, which include the iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max.

What’s the difference between iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro?

As you may know, Apple’s Pro models generally come with more advanced features and better specifications, hence they come with a heftier price tag.

One of the most prominent differences between the new iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro lies in the camera features. The iPhone 12 Pro delivers better smartphone photography thanks to its triple-lens camera module comprising an advanced LiDAR sensor for better AR and improved depth sensing for photos and videos. Besides, the iPhone 12 Pro has the Apple ProRAW feature which allows you to refine photography elements like white balance and colour, as well as the Dolby Vision HDR feature for shooting and editing video.

Other differences between both models include the RAM, storage, and colour variants. Here is a table that shows the comparison.
