The iPhone 12 release date was October 23, 2020, so the phone has been out a while but you're able to buy it directly from Apple (opens in new tab) as well as a variety of retailers. Still, despite all that it just about ranks among the best iPhones, though it's not quite one of the very best smartphones anymore. Those things aside, and while the upgrades to the display and design are nifty, the iPhone 12 doesn’t feel massively different to the iPhone 11– and doesn't feel like it outperforms its higher price tag in the same way that phone did. We need to see wider deployment of 5G, and others need to get on board with MagSafe accessories quickly, to really make the new phone an appealing buy. The iPhone 12 feels like it's packed with potential – but Apple is relying on others to make it a success to a large extent. Lighter usage will see you easily sail through to the night, but it's not quite as good as 2019's model. That said, the output is strong to look at and something you'd be keen to share.īattery life is only average on the new iPhone 12 with heavier use your phone should see you through most of a day – around 17-18 hours at a push.
The video capabilities, including the ability to record in Dolby Vision in 4K, sound impressive, but for most this will be a rarely-used feature. This feature can improve your snaps in a way that’s genuinely staggering however, it's also available on the iPhone 11, and we would have liked to have seen it upgraded in 2020. The former is even better in low-light on this model, and both can now be used with Night Mode. It sounds like a small thing, but perhaps the slick 120Hz display tech would have been a boon here too however, you are still getting a sharp and colorful viewing experience on the iPhone 12.Ĭameras-wise, you're again getting the 12MP duo of the wide and ultra-wide cameras here. The display has been upgraded too: it’s now an OLED screen, the same tech that’s used on the iPhone 12 Pro, and offers rich colors and deep blacks, as well as bringing true HDR to the mix for compatible content. The iPhone 12 design has been tweaked, with squared-off edges that are highly reminiscent of the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 from yesteryear, and a new Ceramic Shield front that’s allegedly four times harder to shatter than the iPhone 11 (not that we were willing to drop-test our review sample).

The decision to start with 64GB inside is stingy though, and you might start butting up against that barrier in the not-too-distant future if you like taking photos and videos at full resolution. The performance of the iPhone 12 has been upgraded once again: the A14 Bionic chipset is the most powerful in any smartphone, and the benchmarks bear that out as it annihilates the competition - and weirdly, doesn't get outperformed by the theoretically more powerful iPhone 12 Pro. If these MagSafe mounts turning your iPhone 12 into a proper camera are anything to go by, the sky's the limit.
That means we could see some cool clip-on accessories like games controllers, photo printers and huge extra batteries coming soon. MagSafe enables faster and more accurate charging, which is neat in itself – but the magnetic connection opens the door to a new range of accessories (like a wallet clip-on or camera mount) but, just as 5G will become more useful over time, we're pretty certain that the MagSafe accessory range is going to expand massively as third-party manufacturers get their hands on the technology. The new (to iPhones) MagSafe connector on the rear of the iPhone 12 is a really interesting proposition – this magnetic connection tech not only enables you to attach things to your phone, such as a charger or a case, but can also tell what's been connected through a special chip.
