If you\u2019ve got the budget, the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max offer incredible features. If not, the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini are cheaper, and very nearly as good.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that this is no longer the latest iPhone - the launch of the iPhone 13 family means you can expect new and used iPhone 12 prices to keep falling as users upgrade. Officially the iPhone 12 starts at \u00a3679, with the 256GB model costing \u00a3829, but you\u2019ll pay less when you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/iphone-12\">buy an iPhone 12<\/a> on Mozillion.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone 12 features Apple\u2019s blisteringly fast A14 Bionic processor, and has 5G network support. It improves on the iPhone 11 in many ways, being waterproof to three times the depth (six metres), and featuring a lush, OLED screen that knocks spots off the old LCD one. It\u2019s the phone\u2019s showpiece, so it\u2019s great that it\u2019s protected by Ceramic Shield - a new, tougher type of glass.<\/p>\n<p>You can buy the iPhone 12 in purple, blue, green, red, white or black. It\u2019s easy to customise it with a choice of MagSafe cases and accessories. But is it worth buying now that the iPhone 13 has launched?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_9 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_9 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1635459944\/PXL_20210909_092305883_b43lnx.jpg\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Pro in a hand image\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_5 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"design\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_10 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_10 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone <\/strong><strong>12 <\/strong><strong>- design<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_6 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_11 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_11 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>Some 14 years and 14 generations since its launch, the iPhone still looks and feels special. While rivals experiment with radical ideas like folding screens, the iPhone 12 is just a subtle update over the iPhone 11. Its most obvious update is a new 6.1\u201d Super Retina XDR display, which stretches almost to the very edge of the phone.<\/p>\n<p>Overall the iPhone 12 is slightly smaller than the iPhone 11, and at 162 grams it\u2019s lighter, too. While the iPhone 12 Pro models get a stainless steel body, the iPhone 12 is aluminium.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone 12 introduced one other significant design change from previous models. Where earlier iPhones all had a rounded edge, the iPhone 12 family features straight sides, and almost no rounding where they meet the front and back. It looks distinctive, singling out the iPhone 12 from the others that came before it. But with sharper, hard edges, the iPhone 12 isn\u2019t as comfortable in your hand.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_7 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_12 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_12 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1619771744\/kpkqsqsezaichxoadhcn.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Front\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_13 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_13 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1619770969\/tmxyo0k90g7xkhmmuq2k.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Side\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_14 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_14 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1619770969\/nvuuowgaejyf6tlgzvzn.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Back\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_2 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_8 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"display\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_15 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_15 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone <\/strong><strong>12<\/strong><strong>- display<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_9 et_pb_row et_pb_row_1-4_3-4 et_block_row et_block_row_1-4_3-4\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_16 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_16 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1635460774\/IMG_0001_1_idgjif.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Display\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_17 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_17 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>The iPhone 12 is built around a 6.1\u201d Organic LED (OLED) display. While it\u2019s similar to the 5.8\u201d screen on the iPhone 11 Pro, it squeezes in a huge 2,532x1,170 pixel resolution, giving it 460 pixels per inch (ppi). It\u2019s capable of incredible detail - tiny text and diagonal lines look super smooth, and graphics and images really pop. They\u2019re helped by vivid colours, and a claimed 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio.<\/p>\n<p>The display stretches almost to the edge of the phone, with only a tiny metal border. It\u2019s the ultimate realisation of Apple\u2019s bezel-free design, but it\u2019s worth noting that the image itself doesn\u2019t quite reach the edge of the glass. And while other phones - even much cheaper ones - have tiny cutouts for their front-facing camera, the iPhone 12 still has a big notch - it\u2019s smaller on the iPhone 13. At 60Hz, the iPhone 12\u2019s refresh rate is also slower than some high-end Android rivals.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, this is a fantastic screen for gaming, photography and other creative uses. While the notch swallows part of the picture in full-screen films or games, it\u2019s unlikely to ever get in the way of the main action. And while a 120Hz refresh rate might have improved the phone\u2019s fluidity, most people won\u2019t miss it.<\/p>\n<p>Apple says that its Ceramic Shield glass is four times stronger than the screen on the iPhone 11, and plenty of internet drop tests seem to back this up. But with Apple charging \u00a3266.44 for a screen repair, we\u2019d still recommend protecting your investment with a case.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_3 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_10 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"camera\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_18 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_18 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone <\/strong><strong>12<\/strong><strong>- camera and video performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_11 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_19 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_19 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>While its screen and design have moved on from the iPhone 11, the iPhone 12 shares much the same camera setup - and that\u2019s no bad thing. At the back, a dual 12-megapixel system offers wide and ultra-wide angles, plus there\u2019s up to 5X of digital zoom. One small change is that the wide camera now has a slightly larger \u0192\/1.6 aperture, so it can capture more light in dim scenes.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of video features, too, including HD slo-mo mode at up to 240 frames per second, and optical image stabilisation to help keep things shake-free. For the iPhone 12, Apple has added HDR video recording with Dolby Vision, and a new time-lapse night mode. The front camera also has a 12MP sensor, and gains Night Mode and HDR Dolby Vision recording over the iPhone 11.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to fault the iPhone 12\u2019s photo and video performance. It\u2019s fast to focus, and quick to capture still images either individually or in bursts. While the various camera modes provide scope for creativity, just pointing and shooting almost always results in a shot you\u2019ll want to keep. Rivals such as the OnePlus 9 Pro offer higher resolution and similarly high quality results, but the iPhone 12 is still among the best.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a rare smartphone that doesn\u2019t take decent photos and videos these days, but in some respects the iPhone 12 is a cut above the typical mid-range Android competitor - and even some high-end alternatives. In particular, Night Mode performance is eerily good. The iPhone 12 can magic reasonable portraits out of near-total darkness. During burst shooting, where lesser phones lag as they work through a backlog of image processing, the iPhone 12\u2019s fast processor ensures it stays responsive - and keeps shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Apple has tweaked the cameras on the iPhone 13, further improving low-light performance and adding new features like Cinematic Mode. While they\u2019re worth having, they\u2019re probably not enough reason to upgrade an iPhone 12.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_4 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_12 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"performance\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_20 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_20 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone <\/strong><strong>12<\/strong><strong>- performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_13 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_21 et_pb_column et_pb_column_2_5 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_21 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Geekbench 5 results<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">CPU single-core scores:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><ul class=\"et_pb_counters_0 et_pb_counters et-waypoint et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><li class=\"et_pb_counter_0 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 13 Pro -

The iPhone 12 was king of all, until the iPhone 13 arrived in September 2021. The iPhone 12 is powered by Apple\u2019s own A14 Bionic chip, which blows away previous iPhones and even the quickest Android rivals. In Geekbench 5 it combined a single-core score of 1,590 and a multi-core result of 4,052, with a mighty 9,370 in the Compute test. In case you\u2019re wondering, the iPhone 11 recorded scores of 1,334, 3,442 and 7,606 in the same tests.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone 12 is similarly stunning when it comes to gaming. It notched up a best score of 2,216 in the 3DMark Wildlife Extreme benchmark. When we tested theiPhone 11 it managed a creditable 2,141 on the same test - while a Google Pixel 4a couldn\u2019t even break 300.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s a catch to the iPhone 12\u2019s fearsome power - it comes at the cost of significant heat. Run a longer benchmark or play a demanding game and the phone needs to slow down to prevent overheating. This was noticeable on the 3DMark Wildlife stress test, where an initial score of 7,790 had dropped to 5,428 by the final loop, a 30% fall in performance.<\/p>\n<p>Demanding use can heat the iPhone 12 up so much that it\u2019s uncomfortable to hold. But you\u2019re less likely to notice the falling frame rates, given that they start from such a high level.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_5 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_14 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"battery\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_23 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_26 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone <\/strong><strong>12 <\/strong><strong>- battery performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_15 et_pb_row et_pb_row_3-4_1-4 et_block_row et_block_row_3-4_1-4\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_24 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_27 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>Apple says that the iPhone 12 battery is good for up to 17 hours of video playback, 11 hours of video streaming, or more than two days of audio. As always, it\u2019s hard to say how long it\u2019ll last in real life - everyone uses their phone differently. In our tests, the iPhone 12 looped a full-screen movie for just under 14 hours - reasonably true to Apple\u2019s claims. The battery will easily go all day, so long as you don\u2019t overdo it with gaming or video calls.<\/p>\n<p>We tested charging time using a 20W charger. From fully empty, the iPhone 12 took almost three minutes to turn on, after which it charged rapidly. It reached 50% in just 28 minutes, so emergency top-ups are quick. The 80% waypoint came up after 53 minutes, with a 100% charge finished within two hours. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_25 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_28 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Battery life<\/strong><strong> (movie playback)<\/strong>*<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><ul class=\"et_pb_counters_4 et_pb_counters et-waypoint et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><li class=\"et_pb_counter_12 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 13 Pro - Time = 19hr 2mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_counter_13 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 13 - Time = 18hrs 46mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"98.68%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"98.68%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_counter_14 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 12 - Time = 13hrs 50mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"72.63%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"72.63%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"et_pb_text_29 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Charge Time (0-80%)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><ul class=\"et_pb_counters_5 et_pb_counters et-waypoint et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><li class=\"et_pb_counter_15 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 13 Pro - Time = 53mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_counter_16 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 13 - Time = 55mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"96.36%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"96.36%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_counter_17 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 12 - Time = 53mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"et_pb_text_30 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">*Battery life test involves looping the playback of an HD movie from fully charged until the phone shuts down.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_6 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_16 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"options\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_26 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_31 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone <\/strong><strong>12<\/strong><strong>- options and additional features<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_17 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_27 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_32 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">The iPhone 12 offers up to 18 combinations of colour and storage. While you can buy 128GB and 256GB versions, the base model\u2019s 64GB feels increasingly stingy when even mid-range rivals now often start at 128GB - as does the iPhone 13.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">Four of the available colours - white, black, blue and red - are bold. We\u2019re not sure about the green and purple options, which look like a bathroom suite your parents ripped out in the early 2000s. Regardless, it\u2019s nice to have a wide choice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">The iPhone 12 works with existing iPhone chargers and accessories via the Lightning port, and Qi wireless charging pads. You can also choose from a range of MagSafe accessories that promise quicker and easier fitting, and more accurate alignment for wireless charging. We tested the iPhone 12 with a car\u2019s wireless charging pad, and had no issues aligning it or getting a reasonable rate of charge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">Finally, it\u2019s worth flagging up that there are no headphones or charger with the iPhone 12. While that\u2019s great to help avoid needless electrical waste, it\u2019s an extra expense if you don\u2019t already have them.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_18 et_pb_row et_pb_row_6col et_block_row et_block_row_6col\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_28 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_6 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_33 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1616998096\/peupclmotlg02xth29yb.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Black\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_29 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_6 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_34 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1616998060\/pgv9qphspucwshfdfjvs.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Blue\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_30 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_6 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_35 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1616998133\/vps2obuxhovwzicpiqte.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Green\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_31 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_6 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_36 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1619770969\/nvuuowgaejyf6tlgzvzn.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Purple\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_32 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_6 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_37 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1616998172\/mlsk5en1f52spz40niik.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Red\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_33 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_6 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_38 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1616998023\/ishjxaodmaoiantuwfog.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 White\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_7 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_19 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"quality\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_34 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_39 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone 12 - build quality and things to look out for<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_20 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_35 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_40 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">Some iPhones have suffered from issues at launch, but the iPhone 12 has been free of major controversy. With no moving parts there\u2019s precious little to go wrong with a typical iPhone, provided it\u2019s looked after and kept in a case. The iPhone 12\u2019s incredibly strong screen glass should resist all but the most violent knocks, but it\u2019s worth knowing that the rear glass is less tough - it\u2019s more likely to break in a fall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">As with all phones, an iPhone 12\u2019s battery will begin to lose capacity over time. You can view the remaining maximum capacity by entering Battery from the Settings menu, then selecting Battery Health. Optimised Battery Charging, standard in iOS, should help preserve the battery\u2019s working life, so it\u2019s important to leave it switched on. Like all iPhones running iOS 11.3 or newer, the iPhone 12 uses Peak Performance Capability to prevent the phone shutting down if the battery can\u2019t provide enough peak power.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">One additional note is that many users report that 5G can be very power-hungry. If getting through the day on one charge is more important than the fastest mobile data, you can turn off 5G from Settings>Mobile>Mobile Data Options>Voice & Data.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_8 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_21 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"verdict\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_36 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_41 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone 12 - verdict<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_22 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_37 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_42 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">The iPhone 13 offers no radical improvements over the iPhone 12, which remains a great phone. With falling prices and plenty of refurbished iPhone 12s to choose from, it\u2019s still a canny choice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">Cramming a huge screen into a stylish mid-sized body, and combining it with blistering speed and high-quality cameras, the iPhone 12 is still capable of filling almost any role. Want a sleek, everyday phone? The iPhone 12 combines great design with the convenience of all-day battery life, and the speed of 5G. Want gaming? It delivers frame rates rivals can only dream of.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">If you\u2019re a keen photographer or filmmaker, the iPhone 12 also serves as a great go-anywhere camera, but here there are caveats. Several high-end Android phones run the iPhone 12 close on camera performance, and the standard phone\u2019s 64GB is miserly if you\u2019re shooting loads of video. You might want to consider the better cameras and greater storage on an iPhone 12 Pro or iPhone 13 Pro.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">In truth, the only good reason not to buy the iPhone 12 is the iPhone 13. If you can afford the latest and best, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/iphone-13\">buy an iPhone 13<\/a>. But if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/iphone-12\">buy an iPhone 12<\/a> for less, watch prices fall as existing owners begin to upgrade.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The iPhone 12 may be the everyday model in the iPhone 12 lineup, but it\u2019s far from an ordinary phone.
