iPhone 12

5G support, a old/new design, improved cameras and four different models.

The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro are amazing phones. It’s the first time there are four new iPhones at once: the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max. A serious step forward. 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.

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.

The iPhone 12 and the 12 mini look to be very similar. According to Apple’s spec sheets, they’re identical except for price, screen size, and battery size. If all other things are equal, I think that a slightly less expensive iPhone that is closer to the size of the beloved iPhone 6, 7 and 8 models sounds like an absolute winner.

The iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max have more advanced features for photo buffs: telephoto lenses, a Night Portrait mode, better Dolby Vision handling and Raw photo handling. I think that’s worth the extra money for photography enthusiasts, but only for them. So the iPhone 12 Pro gets an our award for camera phones since it packs all that fantastic image capability into a manageably sized phone.
