Apple iPhone 12 review: The best iPhone for most people

Apple has four new iPhones, but one draws the most people: The iPhone 12. It offers incredible value and calls into question how many people should buy a Pro.

Excellent camera performance ; Fast and consistent software ; Beautiful and colorful hardware ; Good battery life ; 5G connectivity

Light body feels a bit cheap ; MagSafe offers little right now

Apple iPhone 12 review

Blast Past Fast. It's an apt tagline with Apple skipping the S models and going straight to the iPhone 12 from the already fast iPhone 11. But it's...

Attractive design with exquisite fit and finish

No charger or headphones in the box

Apple iPhone 12 Review

Excellent Night mode camera ; Better 4G (and 5G) than previous iPhones ; Beautiful build ; Solid battery life

Several similar, but not-quite-the-same models ; AT&T and Verizon 5G underwhelms ; Charging and power adapter situation is confusing

The iPhone 12 series brings top-notch design, world-class connectivity, and an improved Night-mode camera to the nation's most popular phone. But with four similar models, which one is best? It's complicated.

Apple iPhone 12 review: raising the bar

New screen, new design, new 5G, new MagSafe. That's a lot of new, but is it enough?

Excellent camera ; Elegant design ; Promising MagSafe ecosystem ; Upgraded display

The 5G tax ; Battery is a small regression ; More expensive

Apple has put a lot of new things in the iPhone 12: a new OLED screen, 5G, MagSafe for charging and accessories, and a whole new design. Does all that add up to a must-upgrade? Only if you really need one.

The iPhone 12 & 12 Pro Review: New Design and Diminishing Returns

The new iPhone 12's have been out for a while now, and while we've had our hands on them for a few weeks, Apple's news bombardment of the new Apple Silicon announcement and release of new Apple M1 Mac devices has meant the iPhones have had to be put on...

Apple iPhone 12 and 12 Pro Review – Look beyond 5G

The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro are the more sensible half of Apple's new smartphone range for 2020, and that's as it should be. Nestling right at the heart of the mobile market, they r…

Physical design looks and feels great ; Excellent cameras ; A14 Bionic performance is stellar

5G is nice, but not reason alone to upgrade ; Battery life doesn't match last year ; Still Lightning not USB-C

Apple iPhone 12 Review

Apple's iPhone 12 is probably the one you should get. Save that $200 and put them towards some cool accessories.

New design is pretty and compact ; OLED screen, finally! ; MagSafe is cool and has potential ; Outstanding performance ; One of the best cameras on a smartphone

No charger, no headphones in the box ; 64 GB of storage is fine, but feels a bit stingy in current ecosystem ; No telephoto lens ; No ultra high refresh rate

Apple iPhone 12 vs Google Pixel 5

Apple's iPhone 12 is supposed to be “the people's iPhone” — packed with all the essential features and all the power of the iPhone 12 Pro, but with a few corners cut, so you don't need to go out and pay $1,000 for it.
