Product Description

A large display, 5G connectivity and the fastest processor mounted on a smartphone gives Apple's new iPhone a big footprint. And it's not alone. For the first time, Apple has introduced a mini version, which together with the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max completes the 2020 family.

Apple iPhone 12:

  • Powerful performance thanks to Apple's A14 Bionic 5 nanometer SoC
  • 6.1-inch OLED Super Retina XDR screen
  • First mobile phone capable of recording in 4K Dolby Vision

Apple unveiled 2021's model, the iPhone 13.

Unrivalled Power

Many technical specifications stand out on the iPhone 12, but without a doubt what sets this iPhone apart from any other competitive offering currently on the market is its processor. The A14 Bionic is the fastest and most powerful SoC to date in a smartphone, It ensures spectacular performance. No self-respecting Android can get close to it, at least for the time being. Apple claims it's 50% faster than other chips.

Back to the Future

It is not only on the inside that the changes in this generation are noticeable. On the outside, the first thing that catches your eye is the retro design -- a blast from the past, reminiscent of the popular iPhone 5, but better. The display is nearly edge-to-edge, albeit with the brand's trademark notch still in place, showing off its spectacular OLED panel. This 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display promises vivid colours and very deep blacks, as well as great resolution. The phone is also 11% thinner, 15% smaller and 16% lighter than its predecessor. It is available in a choice of 6 colours: black, blue, red, green, white and purple.

Lights, Camera...

The camera set remains one of Apple's highlights and will ensure that the iPhone 12 continues to be a bestseller year after year. This is not only true in terms of specs but also due to top-notch software. Apple sticks with the double rear camera, with a main sensor and a wide-angle lens both 12 MP, and they keep a selfie camera of the same megapixels. The surprise comes with the Night Mode, which features a f/1.6 aperture on the main lens that allows quality shots to be taken in low light. Video lovers will be happy. This smartphone is capable of recording in Dolby Vision at 4K, something no other can do.

The iPhone without a Charger

Despite a huge number of plus points, the iPhone 12 loses something along the way, including half a star from us. No charger is included in the box. It has to be purchased separately. Without a doubt, this is a major drawback, especially considering the iPhone's price. However, the phone does feature ultra-fast 18 W wireless charging, which can be carried out with the "v", a novel magnetic accessory that can also act as a wallet for your cards.

FAQs (3)
What is the difference between the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Pro?

Due to the aluminum frame, the iPhone 12 is noticeably lighter than the iPhone 12 Pro with a stainless steel frame. The standard version also lacks the additional telephoto lens. The storage options are also smaller. However, both versions feature the same powerful A14 Bionic processor.

Does the iPhone 12 support wireless charging via the Qi standard?

All models of the iPhone 12 generation can be charged wirelessly with Qi standard chargers.

What is included in the scope of delivery?

In addition to the smartphone and the quick start guide, the package contains a USB-C-to-Lightning cable. Neither a power adapter nor headphones are included.

    The IPhone 12 has an extremely good battery life. The videos also have excellent 4K video quality. The disadvantage is that you don't have an adapter when you buy the phone. And this costs an extra 25 euros on top of the already very expensive cell phone. On the whole, I would still recommend the phone to anyone, as it is definitely worth it.
    Advantages: Good battery life, excellent video quality
    Disadvantages: Expensive, Adapter

    The phone is very handy and has good features that make the phone special. The fact that the phone is thicker also makes it feel more secure in the hand. Unfortunately, the battery gets worse over time and you really have to be careful.
    Advantages: Very handy
    Disadvantages: Battery wear

    The IPhone 12 is very fast and does not hang up, which I find very good. In addition, camera is extremely good, so far I have been able to take only beautiful photos. However, I do not like that the battery capacity does not really last long. Otherwise, this product is really top.
    Advantages: The camera is very sharp
    Disadvantages: Battery does not last long

    The phone is really great and has a beautiful design, it is more angular than for example the iPhone 11 and has better camera arrangements than eg. the iPhone 8. I just love this phone. I recommend this phone to everyone.
    Advantages: The phone has a great angular design, The processing is super, Never had a better camera
    Disadvantages: The product has no problems

    This verified review is for: Apple iPhone 12 128GB Blue
    I like the operating system best. I love IOS above all else and it runs great on the iPhone 12. The iPhone receives very long updates and is very fast at downloading things. I also have the 128GB variant which is definitely an advantage as I can take a lot of pictures and videos. The camera is very good and also recording at night are super. Unfortunately, the price for this is very high. You should definitely know that it is worth buying this device and you should definitely buy more storage capacity.
    Advantages: Software, Good Quality, Much Storage
    Disadvantages: Expensive

  • Simon I. 07/10/2022
    This verified review is for: Apple iPhone 12
    Easy to integrate into everyday life. Apple has partly outdone itself. Display very nice colour choice. Camera very sharp and pretty accurate colour choice. Unfortunately, Apple's battery has dropped a bit. But still, it's good enough for one day.
    Advantages: Fast reaction speed, Beautiful design, Large display
    Disadvantages: Battery could be better

    This verified review is for: Apple iPhone 12
    Beautiful and quality phone with nice design and good operating system. The battery life lasts very long and is significantly higher compared to other phones. The operating system is also really good and there is nothing to complain about. So, in my opinion, the phone is not only visually very beautiful, but also has a good quality.
    Advantages: long battery life, beautiful design
    Disadvantages: price

    This verified review is for: Apple iPhone 12 64GB Blue
    It is definitely very handy and does not fall easily out of the hand, also suitable for smaller hands. Battery lasts a long time, plus it looks pretty aesthetically pleasing. Camera also top. However, back side breaks quickly.
    Advantages: Battery, Beautiful
    Disadvantages: Back

    The iPhone 12 has a very good battery performance. The camera quality of this iPhone is top. The disadvantage is that the screen or display is not as bright. I find it good that you can choose such bright colours I have here Purple. I can recommend everyone to buy iPhone because in my opinion it is one of the best phones.
    Advantages: Storage space, Camera quality, Battery life
    Disadvantages: Display not very bright
