The main differences from the iPhone 11 are the presence of 5G, display (higher resolution, larger aspect ratio), processor, battery and dimensions.
iPhone 12 can be either with two full-fledged SIM cards (nano + nano), or nano + eSIM (the last virtual one). Wireless charging power 15W only with original MagSafe charger, otherwise it is 7.5W.

A potential bestseller in the generation of "apple" smartphones at number "12". The key to the success of the model is a winning combination of traditionally charged hardware, advanced screen characteristics, advanced photo capabilities and, of course, a humane pricing policy (in the context of Apple). Now in order. The smartphone was armed with a powerful hardware bundle of a 5-nanometer Apple A14 chipset and 4/256 GB of memory.

The strength of the “iron” is more than enough for a couple of years ahead, in order to pull everything “at maximum speed”. The 6.1-inch OLED Super Retina XDR screen demonstrates a bright and colorful picture at a resolution of 2532x1170 pixels. A signature feature in the appearance of the front panel of the Apple iPhone 12 256GB is a “notch” in the upper segment of the display for the needs of a 12 MP front camera and service sensors of the FaceID system (used to unlock the smartphone by face).

On the back of the gadget, a system of two cameras with a resolution of 12 MP was installed: a leading sensor and an ultra-wide one with a viewing angle of 120 °. Both of them support night mode. The model has a waterproof performance according to the IP68 standard, supports accelerated 20-watt wired charging and 15-watt MagSafe charging.

Model overview based on user reviews

Its smooth performance is powered by a reliable iOS system, ensuring fast and efficient operation. The phone features a vibrant OLED screen, although some users note the limited 60Hz refresh rate. Battery life is generally satisfactory, lasting a full day with regular use, although some users report quicker depletion over time. The iPhone 12 is also water-resistant, adding to its durability. However, it lacks a charger in the package, and original accessories can be costly. Despite these minor drawbacks, the iPhone 12's integration within the Apple ecosystem and its overall build quality make it a compelling choice for those seeking a premium smartphone experience.

The phone is worthy of attention! (But preferably the price is a little less)
9 July 2022 
I have been using the iPhone 12 for 10 months, and this is my first smartphone of this brand! I switched from a Xiaomi Redmi Note 7, and naturally, I am satisfied! The only downside is that after 10 months of use, the battery started to drain quickly (currently at 91%). If charged to 100% in the morning, with active use (including Bluetooth, mobile internet, geolocation, and one active SIM), by 2:00 PM the phone will only have 10-15% charge left.
No complaints about the phone
Not quite a justified price), and a rapidly depleting battery after 10 months of use

I advise you, the magic of Apple and all that, well, this is a status flagship with everything you need
17 December 2020 
Buy 20w and happiness will follow
If you're upgrading from 7 or lower, satisfaction is guaranteed
You can also switch from any X-model, but with 11 only if possible
In any case, I recommend it
Camera (just top)
Sound
Tactile feedback
Almost no difference with the 12 Pro
Screen by all parameters
Appearance (design)
Ecosystem (various iOS features and overall interconnection of Apple devices)
Face ID (works even in complete darkness)
Connectivity (Qualcomm chip)
Battery (lasts 1.5-2 days with 6-8 hours of screen time)
Power reserve for 3-4 years (not suitable for everyone, however..)
Absence of a network charger in principle, just a lighting-usb-c network cable
Poor package contents (only 1 sticker)

You can still use it, but it's better to look towards something newer.
16 December 2025 
First and foremost, the design and its execution make the initial impression, no matter what anyone says, but after previous rounded models, this "square" style looks elite and feels extremely reliable in the hand. This is probably the main reason why I started using it in the first place. The leap in stability after the Poco F5, where glitches happened randomly and froze the system, was tremendous — everything here just works, no failures or reboots. Overall, the system is quite convenient, and although I was simultaneously using an Android with 120 Hz, switching to 60 Hz on the iPhone wasn't critical, my eyes don't get tired, and the difference isn't as significant as people say. However, the memory capacity is somewhat disappointing: 64 GB is critically insufficient, and I had to buy more iCloud space after just a month of use. There's also an issue with the battery: bought the phone second-hand with a capacity of 85%, and in a year, it dropped to 83%, and under load, the charge melts away. So, if you want to understand whether iOS suits you, this is the best option for a "test drive," but if you know you'll like the system, it's better to go for newer models or at least the 128 GB version.
I also liked the ergonomics and materials of the body; the phone fits very comfortably in the hand, and the square design adds confidence in the grip. Advantages also include the incredible stability of its performance. After my experience with Android (Poco), where I had to deal with lags, the smoothness here is just unbelievable; in a year of use, there hasn't been a single glitch that would make me nervous or require a reboot. The camera is more or less acceptable (see photo example below), suitable for social media, and shoots video quite well. It's still better than competitors at the same price or even more expensive. I was also impressed by the durability of the construction: I used it for six months without a case, and it fell a couple of times, but the screen didn't break, only the aluminum body got slightly dented, which doesn't affect its use, especially in a case.
The limited storage is somewhat disappointing; 64 GB is critically low for the present day, so you constantly have to clean up your gallery or pay for cloud storage, which isn't very convenient. Also, I'm unsure whether this is specific to my device due to wear and tear, or if it's common, but the battery life leaves much to be desired: during gaming, the battery drains very quickly, which is an unpleasant experience. Additionally, the aluminum edges are quite soft, and if you carry it without a case, be ready for dents that can spoil the look. And the camera at night isn't as good as expected, with photos turning out average, so you might want to look at new models if night photography quality is a deciding factor for you.
