I have an iPhone 12 that I got about 6 months ago thru Verizon and I absolutely love it. Tho I will say it’s my first iPhone I was an android user for 7 years
I bought an iPhone 12 in 2021, and I can't believe , we're up to iPhone15. Thanks for all the insights. My battery life is great, compared with my older phones.
Looking at where Apple has landed in terms of diminishing returns on their new releases, it's very hard to justify going any further than an iPhone 12 if you just want a good phone. The gap between this build and the 14 is just so minor.
@@givingyousportsfrommyview the thing is the older the model the worse. Apple deliberately makes the battery worse with every upgrade. So it’s better to go for the latest model
I dropped my phone and my friend gave me his “old” iPhone 12. I cleaned it up and the thing is brand spanking new. After a factory reset and a new case and screen protector, I’m now fully OCD satisfied 😊
probably not, people just lie about this stuff just to fit in, or stand out honestly. They're not different. I know some people that tried flexing that they had bronchitis, covid 2 times, n some other stuff just to stand out@@lifeafter2020istrash
Coincidentally, I recently upgraded from the iPhone 11 to iPhone 12 and the jump in performance was very noticeable!! 😅 I don’t know why people were complaining about frame drops in the user interface of the iPhone 12. I was quite confused about it, I was using the iPhone 11 at the time so I was scared to get the iPhone 12 till my iPhone 11 started to ghost touch!. A situation where the phone will randomly start opening apps and just glitching out! 😂I immediately ran to my local phone store and swapped it out for the iPhone 12. Ever since then I’ve been so much happier and confident with both the performance and battery life 😅
@@The-bq2ks 8 hours of screen on time with normal usage and 6 hours with medium to heavy usage. I even found it to be lasting slightly better than my Redmi Note 11 and that phone has a 5,000mAh battery 😅 iPhone 12 even got more efficient with the new iOS 16.4 update. 😊 this phone is really surprising me with 9 hours screen on time. Battery health is at 100% by the way.
Just started using an iPhone 11. Although the screen isn’t as sharp, the colours are fantastic and the blacks are very deep although it’s not an Oled. The performance is still incredible. 0 Lags, super fast device. And the Camera is absolutely spectacular. It’s still a great phone today.
@@Chargersctpk Slow for what? I have 13 and my gf 11 and you couldn't tell a difference. And I'm software engineer mind you. Performance wise iPhone is so ahead that to say that A13 bionic is "slow" is borderline moronic. I agree with OP that iPhone 11 should be good enough for 90% people if you want that screen you upgrade to 12 which should cover 97% and the rest is just flex or application specific need.
I did a lot of research before buying my son an upgrade from his 7..lol We decided on the 12. He didnt want the 14. Which was the latest model out at the time. Its a great phone and has the strongest glass of all the iPhones.
AT&T just offered the iPhone 12 as the special deal upgrade so that is what I accepted. I am coming from the 2016 iPhone SE which I loved but I decided it was time to upgrade. Waiting a while might have meant I could get a 13 but I don't know when that would have happened. The iPhone 12 is great, no regrets after a couple of weeks.
My XS broke a year ago and I’ve been using a crappy 2016 SE until I recently got a 12. The XS was great but 12 is definitely a step up. Got it for 380$. For that money I would 100% argue it is the best phone you can get second hand/refurbished. Bloody joy to use it really use. Maybe I’m just on a high coming from a crappy SE but the 12 really is a great phone!
A con for me is when the phone comes on from movement, like putting it in my purse, and it stays on. I love the voice mail feature. Another con is that when receiving a text I want the time to show up, & don’t want to swipe to see it, this is a major drawback. I want this important text detail at a glance.
Ive lived in Barcelona for my whole life and never once came across it on the Internet. It was so weird to see it nonchalantly displayed on the video! Very helpful video :) loved it
I transferred from the 11 to the 14 pros recently as storage and battery health was draining. Looking at it now I should have just switched to the 12 pros instead, but this time I’ll just hold this phone longer than my previous phone.
I believe that title should go to the iPhone 12 Pro Max these days. It's depreciated enough in cost so that you can get the benefits of a Pro Max phone without spending over $1000 like the newer 13 and 14 lineups. Outstanding battery life, screen size, and all the stellar benefits of the regular 12 lineup as described in the video. If you budget it right, you can still do a 13 Pro or a 14 Pro like I did, but the best of the best for under $1k should really go to the 12 Pro Max. It can still do the fastest 5G bands and everything else the 13 and 14 phones do, but without the added cost.
A major aspect of a used phone that wasn't mentioned in the video is he battery health; a friend of mine bought a refurbished iPhone 13 from amazon that looked brand new but when he checked the battery health it was 81%!
@@707josh Not necessarily; a friend of mine bought a 'like new' iPhone 12 for less than half the price of a new one and found the battery health was still 100% with only 7 battery cycles (the battery usually needs replacing at 500 cycles). The phone was indeed brand new in terms of how it looked. All you need to make sure of is to buy from a place with a good return policy so that you can return the phone if you end up with one that has 80% battery health (which does happen) or is otherwise not to your liking.
I am super satsified with my 12. Bought it in 2020 when it came out when I saw it had the OLED screen. I am satisfied with the camera too. The only con is the battery as mentioned in this vid. Of course, mine is getting older too so maybe I should switch the battery. I plan to keep it until at least 2025.
might be the best value ever for any iphone. i have had it for 2 years, and it's perfect. love how light it feels and i'm not a cinematographer so camera is good enough
I have the 12 and love it.. I’ve had a few different iPhones and still one has been my favorite so far… Can’t wait to see what the iPhone 15 ultra looks like ..
@handrengamer5653 it’s away to fix that . Turn off 5 g when you don’t need it and also background apps from staying open . It fix my battery it doesn’t drain anymore
I already have the 12. I bought it new. Purple (really perriwinkle blue). It has been a great phone. I got the leather cover and the sleeve that everyone complained about to protect it in my purse. The battery is now at 96 percent, so I will eventually have to replace that. But I was not tempted in the least to get I Phone 13 or 14. I got it with 256 GB. I plan to hang onto it for quite some time.
There’s nothing wrong with your battery being at 96%. I have a iPhone 7 Plus that I have had for six years, and my battery is still at 90%. You won’t have to replace yours for a very long time. Don’t worry about your battery.
Just picked up the iphone12 from boostmobile for $150 when I switched from straight talk to boost. Straight talk wanted $249 for the 11 and $500 for the 12. Went into boost and paid $250 with tax for the phone $50 first month charge, activation fee all included plus a free screen protector and I love this phone I upgraded from the XR and I was really happy I don’t need the latest and greatest when this thing does everything I need and more
I usually get a new phone every other year, and this last fall was my year- well- my 12 is still in amazing condition, and as fast as the day I got it, so I decided to push another year and save my money. It’s already March somehow? And I recently realized I’ll probably keep this phone another year. I really love it! Maybe time for a new watch. :)
@@Trippyricky69 “every other year”- as in every two years. And I replace it that often because it generally needs replacing- hence why I’m not replacing this one. It’s fine. But since you asked- Why to replace your phone every two years (or maybe three); Seven years is a crazy long time to not replace a phone, the differences in software are definitely noticeable at that point, and the camera upgrades and other fun changes are enough to make the upgrade worthwhile to me. There’s also a sweet spot on reselling your phone, hold on to it forever and it’s not worth much, one to two years before the battery deeply degraded and you’re getting a great return. I have opened and worked on almost every phone and computer I’ve ever owned and replacing the battery or screen yourself to get some extra life out of the thing is not usually buying you too much time or saving you much money considering you’re investing in something that has essentially depreciated to zero at that point. And obvious last point- because my metrics are obviously different than yours. I don’t spend money on much else in this world, but the tech around me brings me great joy and satisfaction and takes up most of my waning attention. I likes what I likes! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@kilgore_trout_37 Definitely agree with replacing a phone every 2-3 years. Also it's an arse to replace the battery or screen, and most of the time you're looking at replacement parts that's 1/3 of the price to get a new phone.
@@cocomallon9207 I'm very interested in this phone, what screen time can you get out of it in a day (preferably not at home because that is on wifi) ? thanks
@@jean-lucblanc4605 I have a iPhone 12 89% battery health and when I’m out it lasts about 5-7 hours and I’m on Snapchat,TikTok,Spotify,FaceTime and small games like 8 pool ball. This is on mobile data at 5G (I also record 4k 60fps and take loads of pics when I’m out on my bike) honestly the 12 is worth it but if you can get the 13 I definitely would because the battery on the 12 isn’t the greatest when you talking about keeping the phone I’ve only had my 12 for 5 months and the health went down 11%
I have the 12 mini and I'll keep it till it dies since Apple have stopped making mini flagships; it's a brilliant phone is every aspect for my use, even the battery life, which is great, is hot a major issue for me since I'm a light use and I'm always close to a charger if needed anyway. Even aesthetically, I believe the 12/12 mini to be the best looking phone Apple have made, especially in the blue that the review unit has (which I have as well); its combination of almost flush lens module, svelte body and light weight are unmatched, even by the 13 mini (which I bought and returned).
Was looking for some videos on iPhone 12 because they have some deals on it. I agree with your review. Very informative and knowledgeable, ran into some videos that didn’t explore the difference from 11 to 12. I would differ on only the newer models can be differentiated by the diagonal camera lens
the best iphone to buy right now is the 11 pro, it has great cameras and amazing batterylife, it can be found used for around 300bucks which makes it an amazing deal
I love your content-btw- hey other than the battery life disadvantage I think you are right about iPhone 12 being the best 400 dollar phone you can get your hands on at the moment😉- keep them video's coming mate😀Keep up the good work..............
I think the reason the iPhone 12 dosent have the best battery life is because apple wanted you to think that ot was really worth it to buy the 13 so they made the battery life worse so that when the new iPhone comes out it will make more ppl buy it
That's not true. The only thing that makes battery life worse is battery degradation over time of usage. However, what they are doing is slowing down your current iphone once the battery health reaches 80% and bellow. They are doing that to save the battery life. If you do replace the battery for a new one, it will work as new again.
My Android phone isn't working good rn so I'm planning to go back on iOS. I'm thinking of choosing Iphone 12 cuz I love my Iphone 5 than my Iphone 6s in the past. I love the thickness of the iPhone 12.
I had been an iphone user my whole life.I used a 6s ,but when it broke i upgraded to the 2020 SE. Huge letdown. I made the hard decision to switch to a Samsung A52s,used it for a year i cant adapt to it.I ordered a refurbished IPhone 12 today.I really hope it will satisfy my iphone needs.😅
I just ordered my iphone 12 yesterday morning and it comes today this afternoon. I'm coming from a samsung galaxy and tbh I hate androids I couldn't wait for my upgrade to be available to change back to iphone they are so much better.
The only problem i feel with my 12 mini is the battery life. Otherwise i barely feel any slow downs and while all those new camera goodies are nice to have, you won’t miss it at all in your day to day.
The Mini does run out faster, it being the Mini of course with a smaller battery... but utilising the fast charging capabilities, it goes to 80% really fast :)
The thing is the 11s camera was already amazing. The 12 was even better. I've taken some AMAZING photos and captured GREAT memories with the 12 mini, I'd be content with this camera in any iPhone tbh. iPhone cameras will never be as good as DSLRs so its great for what it is. Only reason I'm buying the 14 next week is because my battery health is below 80 and the broken face ID means its not worth replacing the batt.
Mines now from my best friend. She got a new phone and gave hers too me so I game my little sister my 11. I’m impressed with the display and the camera is absolutely gorgeous in most photos. All 3 are happy with the upgrade! And I’m just happy with the body looking so modern.
I recently bought a iPhone 12 Pro Max. I did buy it from Apple rather than from sources such as eBay, but I got it from Apple's refurb store. It was $200 more, but the eBay sellers only promised 80% battery and a 30 to 90 day guarantee. Apple refurb meant a new 100% battery and a full one-year Apple warranty. Given how long I keep iPhones, battery life is crucial. An 80% battery in a used one almost guarantees I'll face the hassle and expense of replacing it.
I'm a Galaxy S22 Ultra user who needs a secondary device. I saw a great deal from Boost Mobile where you can get an iPhone 12 for $200 if you port a number in. Verizon is giving them away for free if you stay on their network for 24 months too. There are deals to be had for sure.
This has to be a coincidence I have the iPhone 12 I got it for my 13th birthday back in June and I asked my dad to get me a 13 but he said there’s no difference between the 13 and the 12 so I agreed that iPhone 12s exact same as the iPhone 13 that my friend has iPhone 12 it is really the best for 2023 it even beats the 14
Did you buy it from the Apple Store or from a second hand website? If so what’s the name of you wouldn’t mind I’m switching from android to Apple and would like the cheapest I could get if possible but I wouldn’t mind spending full price if needed
The 12 is also the best selling iPhone generation now also so they are everywhere from refurbished and used. However I would say for the amount you get for your money, this phone isn't the best deal...by a very long shot. The 13 pro's are very good value especially in the UK seeing as they launched at £950 in the uk last year. then being nearly two years on and it's devalued so fast as well
I have 2 I Phone 11’s. No trouble of any kind with those displays! None! My 13 Pro Max is equally great! I’m still interested in a “12” the way you described them. No worries ever! Mark in Iowa. I appreciate your videos! Mark.

Wade, I've noticed that your content has been very limited lately. I have some suggestions. The Celero 5g Plus is only $150 at Boost Mobile and it's great for the price. It has a huge 7 inch screen to start. The Motorola Edge Plus is a Flagship phone that can be found well under a flagship's price and OnePlus 11 5g.

this is the phone I am getting as an early christmas present, except I got the pro max. I came from android for 3 years since 2020 and ever since being on android I had apps randomly download without my consent, battery drop down to 40% at night even tho it was fully charged before bed and wasn't in use. Camera doesn't want to focus, honestly a mistake I ever went with android. Before android I had the iPhone 6 plus in 2015 and boy did I miss iPhone lol. Never again will I switch back to android. I am excited to use animoji and memoji. After watching this video, I am glad I went with the 12 pro max cause the newer ones 1 are crazy expensive, 2 basically the same as the other ones in my own opinion and 3 I came to realize I don't need the fancy bells and whistles of the latest iPhone to be "up to date" when the ones from previous years can do the same thing with the same quality.
Bought mine refurbished in good excellent good condition for 399 128gb black. I love it. After using the X for almost 7 years. I don’t care so much for the 13, 14, or 15, also because I’m on a low budget but even if I had money for newer models, I’m still would be happy with the 12. It gets the job done.
I have listened to all these vlogs, that's why i bought an iPhone 12 last month, i got it 2nd hand at 87% batt health and no scratches and all original parts. The design, size and feel is the best feeling ever it was premium as heck ( i am an android user btw), everything was good except slow charging, heating issues, and poor battery at 87% i did not expect that kind of performance so i decided to trade it to an Samsung s21Ultra, the samsung s21ultra has better camera,battery and charging im not used to the thickness and curved edges thu i prefer the design of iPhone.
You'd need more than 64 gb for long term. 256 seems to be a minmum viable amount so that you don't need to pay Apple for storage which to me is something to avoid.

@@707joshIt's not 2013 anymore my friend. Shooting a 5 minute video in 4k takes several gigabytes. Not to mention apps, photos and other files. If you plan on keeping a phone more than 1 year, 128GBs is the minimum. 256gb if you plan on using the phone for 4+ years
I got an iPhone 12 a month back Had a Samsung Note 20. And gotta say the iPhone 12 is great in terms of camera, display, speaker quality as compared to samsung note 20 😌 Currently the Battery Health is at 78% and it does last a whole day when lightly used Have to charge it twice when going through social media & UA-cam & have to charge thrice when gaming. But overall is a greag phone 😊
Great video and I have a couple questions. Is it better to buy a unlocked phone? I am currently with Spectrum mobile plan. Will I have a problem activating my phone with Spectrum? thanks in advance for your reply. This is an update : I finally made the move to upgrade from my iPhone 7 Plus to a iPhone 11. I bought it off eBay it is unlocked, refurbished to practically brand new. You cannot tell the difference between a refurbished phone and a brand new phone because of mine looks perfect. I bought it for $312. They normally go for $750. I’ve had this phone for three weeks now and I am 100% satisfied. Don’t waste your money on a brand new phone, refurbished is just as good and it comes with a one-year warranty.
Using a iPhone 12 Pro now having used a Samsung galaxy s23 ultra and the only thing I dislike is the 60 hz screen but I don’t notice the difference most of the time in daily use it’s only when you scroll through a webpage at a medium speed it’s apparent scroll slow you don’t notice it scroll fast you don’t notice it. And the newer iPhone 13 and 14 don’t have 120hz unless you get the pro models great video thumbs up to you and the iPhone 12
I went from the iPhone 8 Plus to the iPhone 12, and I really love the 12 and its features along with the 4K screen resolution. Had to switch up because I snapped while my 8+ was literally putting in typos in each and every single thing that I text, post, comment, respond, etc., so I threw it on the ground as hard as I could, and watched it be completely destroyed and I was very happy and felt much better. I don’t understand how when you even take off the features to not be auto correct in you and fill in the typos of its own, trying to teach you to speak in a very iPhone way or a liberal way. iPhones are notorious for typos, no matter how much you try to prevent it.
Facts my iPhone 11 is the same way right now and I’ll have to slap it to get it to type right 😂 but I just ordered the 12 so I’ll be shooting this one when I get it because this one aggravates the life out of me.
Watching in Nov 23 after iPhone 15 came out… I will still wait one more year to get 120Hz in iPhone 16… finally 🎉 changes from iPhone 12 to 15 are not good enough!
I just got a 12 for 300$ CAD after taxes! That’s like 200$ USD. Great deal! Screen is a little scratched, phone calls only work on speaker or Bluetooth but other than that it works perfect, great deal still if you ask me 🙂
Huh upgrade it to 14 or 15 for me because battery life is not even good 2.815 mah but iphone 11 is 3.110 mah thats the difference for me you should buy 14 12 is not even that good at all only because 12 are 5g and oled screen
I disagree with the camera point. You can see close to no difference in photo quality when comparing it to iphone 13 or 14. They all take great pictures. Surely camera that is only SLIGHTLY better doesn't justify paying 2x the price of a phone.
Or you could get the smaller one the iPhone 12 mini which is also a solid phone even in 2023. I was able to find one brand new for around 250 bucks still 100 percent battery health
At this point in 2024, I'd recommend the iPhone 13 to anyone. It's price is very affordable on Amazon used, and works very well. The iPhone 12 works, but spending an extra $50-100 for a better phone that will get more software is worth it.
I just ordered my Iphone 12 128gb for $365!!!! Not a bad price and it's a steal! Can't wait till it arrives 😊 Update: it arrived and it came in pristine condition!!! Loving it so far!! Definitely smaller than I excepted
@handrengamer5653 iPhone 12 minis and the other special models are known to have worse batteries, and I can personally testify that.. They'res not much you can really do in terms of battery except: - Using a lower display brightness - Keeping around 5-6 apps open at a time - Using Low Battery Mode - Turning on Airplane Mode when not using cell or WiFi Other than those "tips", 4 hours should be fine for anything, especially if you're not using it constantly, which is what you're probably doing (from inference).
And what do you mean the previous two non-pro iPhones had crummy displays? Personally, if I need to take off my glasses, close one eye, squint, and put my phone an inch from my face to see individual pixels - well, that’s not how I tend to use my phone normally. Complaining about that would be like complaining that your oven makes a terrible sauna and is way too hot on its lowest setting.

Wow.
I bought it new in Australia. It cost me $1100 (ouch) in June.
We pay shocking prices for stuff over here.
A con for me is when the phone comes on from movement, like putting it in my purse, and it stays on. I love the voice mail feature. Another con is that when receiving a text I want the time to show up, & don’t want to swipe to see it, this is a major drawback. I want this important text detail at a glance.
i think you can change it in settings
Or stop beingazy
you can change both of these things in the settings of the iphone.
Do you have a good battery, because I watch videos, and my screen time is 14h
Ive lived in Barcelona for my whole life and never once came across it on the Internet. It was so weird to see it nonchalantly displayed on the video!
Very helpful video :) loved it
I transferred from the 11 to the 14 pros recently as storage and battery health was draining. Looking at it now I should have just switched to the 12 pros instead, but this time I’ll just hold this phone longer than my previous phone.
14 pros better than 12 pros
@@joshuamorgan-pj7uo Honestly, all of these have almost the same specs
I believe that title should go to the iPhone 12 Pro Max these days. It's depreciated enough in cost so that you can get the benefits of a Pro Max phone without spending over $1000 like the newer 13 and 14 lineups. Outstanding battery life, screen size, and all the stellar benefits of the regular 12 lineup as described in the video. If you budget it right, you can still do a 13 Pro or a 14 Pro like I did, but the best of the best for under $1k should really go to the 12 Pro Max. It can still do the fastest 5G bands and everything else the 13 and 14 phones do, but without the added cost.
Did you really just say that the max is a better deal for the money😭
A major aspect of a used phone that wasn't mentioned in the video is he battery health; a friend of mine bought a refurbished iPhone 13 from amazon that looked brand new but when he checked the battery health it was 81%!
That’s why you always buy new. If you can’t afford it brand new then there’s no reason for you to have it and try to keep up with others.
@@707josh Not necessarily; a friend of mine bought a 'like new' iPhone 12 for less than half the price of a new one and found the battery health was still 100% with only 7 battery cycles (the battery usually needs replacing at 500 cycles). The phone was indeed brand new in terms of how it looked. All you need to make sure of is to buy from a place with a good return policy so that you can return the phone if you end up with one that has 80% battery health (which does happen) or is otherwise not to your liking.
Just buy a replacement battery
I am super satsified with my 12. Bought it in 2020 when it came out when I saw it had the OLED screen. I am satisfied with the camera too. The only con is the battery as mentioned in this vid. Of course, mine is getting older too so maybe I should switch the battery. I plan to keep it until at least 2025.

@Handren Gamer if you have the brightness turned up all the way try bringing it below half and close out of apps after you're done using them
@handrengamer5653 it’s away to fix that . Turn off 5 g when you don’t need it and also background apps from staying open . It fix my battery it doesn’t drain anymore
@handrengamer5653 I had to take mines back actually yesterday. Because it kept dying fast
I already have the 12. I bought it new. Purple (really perriwinkle blue). It has been a great phone. I got the leather cover and the sleeve that everyone complained about to protect it in my purse. The battery is now at 96 percent, so I will eventually have to replace that. But I was not tempted in the least to get I Phone 13 or 14. I got it with 256 GB. I plan to hang onto it for quite some time.
There’s nothing wrong with your battery being at 96%. I have a iPhone 7 Plus that I have had for six years, and my battery is still at 90%. You won’t have to replace yours for a very long time. Don’t worry about your battery.
12 is a great phone.
96% battery is still pretty great. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Just picked up the iphone12 from boostmobile for $150 when I switched from straight talk to boost. Straight talk wanted $249 for the 11 and $500 for the 12. Went into boost and paid $250 with tax for the phone $50 first month charge, activation fee all included plus a free screen protector and I love this phone I upgraded from the XR and I was really happy I don’t need the latest and greatest when this thing does everything I need and more
Fuck yeah. I got mine from Verizon $299
I usually get a new phone every other year, and this last fall was my year- well- my 12 is still in amazing condition, and as fast as the day I got it, so I decided to push another year and save my money. It’s already March somehow? And I recently realized I’ll probably keep this phone another year. I really love it! Maybe time for a new watch. :)
Absolutely agree my 12 was still buttery smooth and just as fast two years later since I first got it I upgraded tho since the battery was showing age
Why do you need a new phone every year when the upgrades aren't even that drastic? I mean like a good iPhone can last 7-8 years easily.
@@lifegamechanger8572 lmfao just replace the battery bruh🤦
@@Trippyricky69 “every other year”- as in every two years. And I replace it that often because it generally needs replacing- hence why I’m not replacing this one. It’s fine. But since you asked-
Why to replace your phone every two years (or maybe three);
Seven years is a crazy long time to not replace a phone, the differences in software are definitely noticeable at that point, and the camera upgrades and other fun changes are enough to make the upgrade worthwhile to me. There’s also a sweet spot on reselling your phone, hold on to it forever and it’s not worth much, one to two years before the battery deeply degraded and you’re getting a great return. I have opened and worked on almost every phone and computer I’ve ever owned and replacing the battery or screen yourself to get some extra life out of the thing is not usually buying you too much time or saving you much money considering you’re investing in something that has essentially depreciated to zero at that point.
And obvious last point- because my metrics are obviously different than yours. I don’t spend money on much else in this world, but the tech around me brings me great joy and satisfaction and takes up most of my waning attention. I likes what I likes!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@kilgore_trout_37 Definitely agree with replacing a phone every 2-3 years. Also it's an arse to replace the battery or screen, and most of the time you're looking at replacement parts that's 1/3 of the price to get a new phone.

My wife upgraded to iphone 15 plus, so I am using her old iphone 12 now. Pretty like it.
I have the 12 mini and I'll keep it till it dies since Apple have stopped making mini flagships; it's a brilliant phone is every aspect for my use, even the battery life, which is great, is hot a major issue for me since I'm a light use and I'm always close to a charger if needed anyway. Even aesthetically, I believe the 12/12 mini to be the best looking phone Apple have made, especially in the blue that the review unit has (which I have as well); its combination of almost flush lens module, svelte body and light weight are unmatched, even by the 13 mini (which I bought and returned).
Was looking for some videos on iPhone 12 because they have some deals on it. I agree with your review. Very informative and knowledgeable, ran into some videos that didn’t explore the difference from 11 to 12. I would differ on only the newer models can be differentiated by the diagonal camera lens
Reebelo has iphones unlocked for under $400 I bought an unlocked iphone for $300
the best iphone to buy right now is the 11 pro, it has great cameras and amazing batterylife, it can be found used for around 300bucks which makes it an amazing deal
I love your content-btw- hey other than the battery life disadvantage I think you are right about iPhone 12 being the best 400 dollar phone you can get your hands on at the moment😉- keep them video's coming mate😀Keep up the good work..............
I think the reason the iPhone 12 dosent have the best battery life is because apple wanted you to think that ot was really worth it to buy the 13 so they made the battery life worse so that when the new iPhone comes out it will make more ppl buy it
That's not true. The only thing that makes battery life worse is battery degradation over time of usage.
However, what they are doing is slowing down your current iphone once the battery health reaches 80% and bellow.
They are doing that to save the battery life. If you do replace the battery for a new one, it will work as new again.

Just bought two iPhone 12’s for my wife and myself. We had iPhone 7 and 8 so hopefully this one last as long
I had been an iphone user my whole life.I used a 6s ,but when it broke i upgraded to the 2020 SE. Huge letdown. I made the hard decision to switch to a Samsung A52s,used it for a year i cant adapt to it.I ordered a refurbished IPhone 12 today.I really hope it will satisfy my iphone needs.😅
I just ordered my iphone 12 yesterday morning and it comes today this afternoon. I'm coming from a samsung galaxy and tbh I hate androids I couldn't wait for my upgrade to be available to change back to iphone they are so much better.
The only problem i feel with my 12 mini is the battery life. Otherwise i barely feel any slow downs and while all those new camera goodies are nice to have, you won’t miss it at all in your day to day.
The Mini does run out faster, it being the Mini of course with a smaller battery... but utilising the fast charging capabilities, it goes to 80% really fast :)
The thing is the 11s camera was already amazing. The 12 was even better. I've taken some AMAZING photos and captured GREAT memories with the 12 mini, I'd be content with this camera in any iPhone tbh. iPhone cameras will never be as good as DSLRs so its great for what it is. Only reason I'm buying the 14 next week is because my battery health is below 80 and the broken face ID means its not worth replacing the batt.
I’ve had an SE for a few years and finally ordered a 12 today. Now I’m really excited 😄😄 thanks for your review
Did the same!!!

I recently bought a iPhone 12 Pro Max. I did buy it from Apple rather than from sources such as eBay, but I got it from Apple's refurb store. It was $200 more, but the eBay sellers only promised 80% battery and a 30 to 90 day guarantee. Apple refurb meant a new 100% battery and a full one-year Apple warranty. Given how long I keep iPhones, battery life is crucial. An 80% battery in a used one almost guarantees I'll face the hassle and expense of replacing it.
I'm a Galaxy S22 Ultra user who needs a secondary device. I saw a great deal from Boost Mobile where you can get an iPhone 12 for $200 if you port a number in. Verizon is giving them away for free if you stay on their network for 24 months too. There are deals to be had for sure.
This has to be a coincidence I have the iPhone 12 I got it for my 13th birthday back in June and I asked my dad to get me a 13 but he said there’s no difference between the 13 and the 12 so I agreed that iPhone 12s exact same as the iPhone 13 that my friend has iPhone 12 it is really the best for 2023 it even beats the 14

The 12 is also the best selling iPhone generation now also so they are everywhere from refurbished and used. However I would say for the amount you get for your money, this phone isn't the best deal...by a very long shot. The 13 pro's are very good value especially in the UK seeing as they launched at £950 in the uk last year. then being nearly two years on and it's devalued so fast as well
Best selling Iphone is 12pro I guess. But I choose 12 cus it looks clean

Camera doesn't want to focus, honestly a mistake I ever went with android. Before android I had the iPhone 6 plus in 2015 and boy did I miss iPhone lol. Never again will I switch back to android. I am excited to use animoji and memoji. After watching this video, I am glad I went with the 12 pro max cause the newer ones 1 are crazy expensive, 2 basically the same as the other ones in my own opinion and 3 I came to realize I don't need the fancy bells and whistles of the latest iPhone to be "up to date" when the ones from previous years can do the same thing with the same quality.
For me personaly it feels like a 100$ phone and i wouldn’t spend more than that cause the 60Hz Display. But that is different for every person.
Bought mine refurbished in good excellent good condition for 399 128gb black. I love it. After using the X for almost 7 years.

This is an update :
I finally made the move to upgrade from my iPhone 7 Plus to a iPhone 11. I bought it off eBay it is unlocked, refurbished to practically brand new. You cannot tell the difference between a refurbished phone and a brand new phone because of mine looks perfect. I bought it for $312. They normally go for $750. I’ve had this phone for three weeks now and I am 100% satisfied. Don’t waste your money on a brand new phone, refurbished is just as good and it comes with a one-year warranty.
Using a iPhone 12 Pro now having used a Samsung galaxy s23 ultra and the only thing I dislike is the 60 hz screen but I don’t notice the difference most of the time in daily use it’s only when you scroll through a webpage at a medium speed it’s apparent scroll slow you don’t notice it scroll fast you don’t notice it. And the newer iPhone 13 and 14 don’t have 120hz unless you get the pro models great video thumbs up to you and the iPhone 12
I went from the iPhone 8 Plus to the iPhone 12, and I really love the 12 and its features along with the 4K screen resolution. Had to switch up because I snapped while my 8+ was literally putting in typos in each and every single thing that I text, post, comment, respond, etc., so I threw it on the ground as hard as I could, and watched it be completely destroyed and I was very happy and felt much better. I don’t understand how when you even take off the features to not be auto correct in you and fill in the typos of its own, trying to teach you to speak in a very iPhone way or a liberal way. iPhones are notorious for typos, no matter how much you try to prevent it.
Facts my iPhone 11 is the same way right now and I’ll have to slap it to get it to type right 😂 but I just ordered the 12 so I’ll be shooting this one when I get it because this one aggravates the life out of me.
Go to settings and turn off auto correct and spelling automation

@handrengamer5653 iPhone 12 minis and the other special models are known to have worse batteries, and I can personally testify that.. They'res not much you can really do in terms of battery except:
- Using a lower display brightness
- Keeping around 5-6 apps open at a time
- Using Low Battery Mode
- Turning on Airplane Mode when not using cell or WiFi
Other than those "tips", 4 hours should be fine for anything, especially if you're not using it constantly, which is what you're probably doing (from inference).

I've seen an I phone 12 for 130 euro off Vodafone and I'm going to get it for my birthday so this video helps a lot
And what do you mean the previous two non-pro iPhones had crummy displays? Personally, if I need to take off my glasses, close one eye, squint, and put my phone an inch from my face to see individual pixels - well, that’s not how I tend to use my phone normally. Complaining about that would be like complaining that your oven makes a terrible sauna and is way too hot on its lowest setting.

How's the battery now? I only do netflix, youtube, web browsing, and social media. Can this last all day with Mobile data?
