Apple iPhone 12 review: The best iPhone for most people

Among the press and technology enthusiasts, the iPhone 12 Pro gets the focus. It’s the high-end model with all of the features, and price be damned, we all want one. But that overlooks the fact that most people have more reasonable expectations and budgets, and are immediately drawn to the standard iPhone 12. The iPhone 12 is the phone that gets people in the door (or on the website), where they then have the option of changing their choice to a Mini, Pro, or Pro Max. And that puts a lot of burden on the iPhone 12: It has to be really good because most people pick it by default. Here’s how well it lives up to the expectations. And why it is, indeed, the best iPhone 12 model for most people. The iPhone 12 is exactly the same size as the 12 Pro — Apple’s own cases are interchangeable. And with a case on the phone, the only way you can tell it’s not a Pro is the missing third camera lens — though you still get the large squircle camera housing, reminding you of the space that would be occ...

Apple iPhone 12 Review

The iPhone 12 series brings top-notch design, world-class connectivity, and an improved Night-mode camera to the nation's most popular phone. But with four similar models, which one is best? It's complicated. Hard-edged phones for a hard-edged year, Apple's iPhone 12 series brings a solid feel, excellent screens, better low-light camera performance, and improved network connectivity to America's most popular smartphone line. If you have an iPhone more than a year old, one of the four new iPhones is worth your money. The trick is figuring out which one. I'm the 5G guy, and during the iPhone 12 launch, Apple talked about 5G a lot. The iPhone 12 is the best 5G phone so far, but Verizon's and AT&T's so-called "nationwide" 5G aren't worth your time. T-Mobile's mid-band 5G does deliver improved performance, but T-Mobile doesn't have a map for that system, which makes it hard to find. That said, as I'll detail momentarily, the iPhone 12 series improves 4G performance enough that it's worth buying just for that. There are four new iPhones; and they're not all that different from one another. You're reading our main review of the iPhone 12 (starts at $799 for 64GB), which overlaps our review of...

Apple iPhone 12: It’s difficult to find fault with the iPhone 12, but Android phones still have the edge on value

Apple iPhone 12 128GB - Black MGJA3X/A review

The iPhone 12 marks a significant design improvement on the last three years of iPhones. Like a skilful remix of the good bits of a decade of iPhones, the iPhone 12 harks back to the stellar design of the iPhone 4 while keeping the all-screen front, Face ID and excellent gesture system of the iPhone...

The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro are the more sensible half of Apple’s new smartphone range for 2020, and that’s as it should be. Nestling right at the heart of the mobile market, they replace the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro as the go-to choice for savvy shoppers, and this time around the list of...
