![]() The phone lasts about 40 hours between charges with the screen used for well over six hours in that time, which is longer than most similarly sized rivals. Note that only models sold in the US also support mmWave 5G on top of the more standard mid-band 5G used in the rest of the world.īattery life was very good. Performance was similar to the top Android smartphones, which have the same Qualcomm-made 5G modem, although indoor reception was slightly worse than the OnePlus 8T or Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2. The iPhone 12 line is the first of Apple’s smartphones to have 5G. It is an extremely powerful chip that runs rings around most of the competition and can handle anything you would demand of an iPhone, including graphically intensive gaming, and will continue to do so for years to come.Įverything is snappy and slick but it doesn’t feel night and day faster than last year’s iPhone 11 or the iPhone SE, although it will be a significant step up from older phones. The iPhone 12 has the same A14 Bionic processor as used to great effect in the new iPad Air and the iPhone 12 Pro. The Lightning port means older iPhone cables will continue to work but to fast-charge the phone you’ll need a USB-C charger and the included cable. Water resistance: IP68 (6 metres for 30 mins) Screen: 6.1in Super Retina XDR (OLED) (460ppi)Ĭamera: dual 12MP rear cameras with OIS, 12MP front-facing cameraĬonnectivity: LTE, wifi 6, NFC, Bluetooth 5, Lightning, ultra wideband and location The MagSafe system is a ring of magnets hidden in the back of the phone on to which accessories can snap into alignment, including the £39 MagSafe wireless charger, although you can still use any standard Qi-compatible wireless charger. The new iPhone still has the old Lightning port in the bottom, not the newer and universal USB-C port, and has Apple’s new MagSafe technology. Anything that helps prevent smashed screens is a bonus. It is one of the very best displays you can get on a smartphone, and has a new cover to it that Apple calls “Ceramic Shield”, which it says has four times the drop resistance of previous glass on iPhones. The display is brighter and more colourful, with significantly improved blacks and a higher pixel density making it crisper. The screen has been significantly upgraded, too, replacing the older LCD with newer OLED technology hitherto reserved for the “Pro” iPhone models. The iPhone 12 looks particularly good in white with its silver aluminium sides and glossy glass back.
