The iPhone 12 is the best phone to buy if you want a relatively affordable device with a fast processor, great camera, and excellent battery life.
It also has 5G connectivity—although that feature won’t matter until more carriers build out 5G networks, which will take years.
The iPhone 12 costs less than the iPhone 12 Pro and has many of the same attributes, including Apple’s latest A14 Bionic chip and a beautiful OLED display.
The iPhone 12’s design is so similar to prior iPhones that it’s hard to tell that it’s new at first glance.
The flat edges on this phone look pretty retro compared with the rounded edges on the iPhone 11 series, though.
The screen size remains at 6.1 inches; there are no changes to the display apart from its ability to turn off pixels for a blacker black when showing movies in Dolby Vision HDR.
On the inside, however, Apple stepped up its game big time.
The new A14 Bionic processor is so powerful that it puts every other phone CPU to shame.
It makes the iPhone 12 snappier than any Android phone we’ve tested and lets you handle multiple tasks simultaneously without a hitch.
It also enables better gaming performance and smooth animations throughout iOS 14.
