![]() The iPhone 11 was a champion in the battery department, and the iPhone 12 seems to take a slight step back, but it’s still very good. The battery on the iPhone 12 is solid too. ![]() It seemed to work fine in our testing, which is more or less the same as any other flagship phone in 2021. But rest assured that the iPhone supports all different forms of 5G, meaning that when 5G becomes more relevant in a few years, your 2020 iPhone will be ready to go. We’re not going to dive deep into 5G, considering the fact that most users won’t really notice much of a difference. You can upgrade it to get either 128GB or 256GB, if you so choose.Īpple iPhone 12 Lightning Port Image source: Christian de Looper for BGRįor the first time in an iPhone, there’s another kind of performance to consider – 5G performance. The base model of the iPhone 12 comes with 64GB of storage, which is half as much as the base model of the iPhone 12 Pro. Here’s a rundown of the results we achieved. ![]() In GeekBench 5, it seriously outperformed the competition, while in AnTuTu, it was about on par. In benchmarks, the phone scored as good or better than any Android phone out there. We can’t tell the future, but we would bet the iPhone 12 will continue that tradition.īenchmarks confirm the excellent results. The end result is that the phone not only performs well now, but also will also continue to perform well three or four years down the line. The fact is that Apple’s chipsets are class-leading, and the iPhone 12 beats all Android phones in performance. Of course, more important than the performance now is the performance down the line. You’ll almost never run into performance hiccups. Games load relatively quickly, and multitasking is easy. The iPhone 12 is smooth and responsive all of the time. The results are exactly what you would expect from Apple. We did not drop-test the phone, so we can’t really speak to whether or not Apple’s claims about Ceramic Shield are accurate. With that in mind, don’t expect it to be indestructible. It’s important to note, however, that Apple makes no claims about it being scratch-resistant. The glass is Apple’s new Ceramic Shield tech, which Apple says is 4x more shatter-resistant. It also has the ability to get bright enough for most scenarios.Īccording to Apple, the iPhone 12’s glass is stronger too. The iPhone 12’s display still looks good, with relatively vibrant colors. I’m still waiting for a high-refresh-rate iPhone, which might come in the iPhone 13 series, though it will probably be relegated to a Pro model. As far as OLED displays go, the one on the iPhone 12 is very nice. That OLED display makes for deeper black levels, plus it has implications for the battery life of the phone. We didn’t have an iPhone 12 Mini on hand for review. There’s also the iPhone 12 Mini, which has a smaller 5.4-inch display. You’ll finally get an OLED display without having to upgrade to a Pro model, and on the iPhone 12 it measures in at 6.1 inches. The display quality, on the other hand, is pretty good.

Apple is rumored to be working on a way to make it smaller. But the notch is still starting to look a little old-school. Now, don’t get me wrong - I love Face ID and don’t mind a notch if it means I can use Face ID. One thing holding back the iPhone in terms of design is the notch. Apple iPhone 12 back Image source: Christian de Looper for BGR We’re expecting more products to get the treatment, helping make for a more cohesive feel across Apple’s lineup of devices. It’s a design trait that made its resurgence with the iPad Pro and has since moved to other products too - including the new iMac, and iPad Air. Actually, the flat edges help make it a little more grippable. But in my experience, they’re just rounded enough to avoid that issue. You might assume that the edges feel harsh and sharp. On the contrary, it helps make it look classic. As mentioned, it’s very reminiscent of the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5, but that doesn’t mean it looks dated. Gone are the rounded edges, in favor of a new, flat-sided design. But it does give the phone a bit of a face-lift - and the device is better for it. ![]() The iPhone 12 doesn’t necessarily solve all of those issues. The iPhone 11’s design was nice, but it was more or less the same as the iPhone XS before it, and the iPhone X before that.
