- Solid battery life
Cons:
- Several similar
- but not-quite-the-same models

Apple iPhone 12 256GB - Red MGJJ3X/A review
Having recently looked at one of the previous models in the range 23-9-20, I now get my chance to test the latest version from Apple.

Apple iPhone 12 256GB - Black MGJG3X/A review
The iPhone 12 sports a gorgeous new design, full 5G support, great cameras and even better performance. However, the lack of a charger in box and limited base storage are drawbacks. I’m of two minds about the iPhone 12.
Pros:
- Attractive new design with MagSafe, Comprehensive 5G coverage, Impressive dual cameras, Fastest performance in a phone, Solid battery life
Cons:
- Only 64GB of base storage, 60Hz display, No charger or headphones in box, Digital zoom could still use work

Apple iPhone 12 (256GB, Black) AU - Pristine review
New old look. The iPhone 12 is more angular than its predecessor and finally features 5G and an OLDED display. It is a lot lighter and slimmer than last year's model. Find out whether Apple has once again landed a big hit in our review.
Pros:
- very accurate OLED display, case has good workmanship, camera takes sharp photos, good performance, long runtimes, hardly any heat development, precise localisation, wide range of accessories, covers a lot of LTE and 5G frequencies
Cons:
- PWM flickering, average speakers, limited storage capacity for this price, limited NFC usability, display only has 60 Hz, no 5G mmWave in Europe

Apple iPhone 12 (256GB, Black) AU - Pristine review
Even without the third camera, there’s a lot to like about the iPhone 12, which offers some handy little improvements on the iPhone 11, a phone that stays in the 2020 Apple line-up. The two cameras have been tightened up and feel better than last time, and the whole phone is faster overall.
Pros:
- New design language makes for an easy phone to grip, Flat edges mean it can stand up on surfaces, Lighter aluminium design feels great in the hands, Better OLED screen than previous iPhone 11 or iPhone XR, Durability improvements to the screen, Great camera with excellent video, Solid performance,...
Cons:
- Dual camera combination may not be as useful as the triple of the 12 Pro, No support for Apple's RAW format in the future, even though the hardware is similar, Not the best battery, with similar battery concerns exhibited in the iPhone 12 Pro

- Upgraded display
Cons:
- The 5G tax
