Apple iPhone 12 64 GB

Best Smartphone from Apple

The base iPhone 12 is the direct successor to last year's iPhone 11 and the year before last, the iPhone Xr, which were the best-selling models of their generations. And this is logical, because from the point of view of an ordinary buyer, it offers optimal dimensions, screen size, filling and a price tag starting at $799 for the junior model with 64 GB of memory. Probably, it is this combination that will allow him to become the main bestseller in the new generation.

Display and design

iPhone 12 received a 6.1-inch OLED Super Retina XDR display with 2K resolution. The design of the smartphone is exactly the same as it was on many leaks: the body is made of glass, the side frames are made of aluminium, the recognizable screen cutout and the “square” main camera, which has become a reason for hatred in last year’s models. Insiders say that Apple wants to make its unified camera design look the same regardless of the number of modules. The aspiration is commendable, but so far it does not work out very well. But the flat side edges, like the iPhone 12 Mini, look great. Compared to the iPhone 11, it is 11% thinner, 15% smaller and 16% lighter.

New old camera

The main camera is dual, like last time: a 12-megapixel wide-angle sensor (f / 1.6) and a 12-megapixel ultra wide-angle sensor with f / 2.4 aperture (120 degrees). Like last time, they are located in a square block on the back. Like last time, no telephoto lens was added. But the night mode now works on both the ultra-wide-angle and the front camera.

Based on Apple A14 Bionic

The iPhone 12 is powered by the new Apple A14 Bionic, which Apple says is the fastest ARM processor on the market. It is produced on a 5nm process technology, has six processing cores and four graphics. Apple promises 50% faster speed than any other mobile processor. Considering Apple's seriousness with respect to ARM chips, we will accept this statement without too much skepticism. Moreover, the release of the new iPad Air, which uses the same processor, is still delayed. In terms of additional functions, the iPhone 12 is all familiar: Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers, Wi-Fi 6 module and a protected case that can withstand half an hour immersion to a depth of 6 metres. The main innovation is the new MagSafe wireless charger, which is attached to the phone with magnets built into the back cover.
