iPhone 12 review: One of our highest-rated phones of all time

The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro mark the beginning of a new generation of iPhone. Support for 5G, a new hardware design and camera improvements are a significant step away from the iPhone X generation of devices. This is nothing new. Apple did something similar in 2010 with the iPhone 4 and in 2014 when it released the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.

5G support, a new striking design, improved cameras and four different models all add up to make the iPhone 12 an absolute unit.

New square-sided design; 5G support for both sub-6 and mmWave; Low-light photos and videos; MagSafe everything; Premium fit and finish; Fantastic autofocus for photos and videos; Solid build quality; Fastest phone we've ever tested;

$829 off-carrier price is high for the 12; Baseline 12 only has 64GB of storage; iPhone 12 offers most of the same features, design and build for less money;

Apple iPhone 12 review: Still a solid choice

For the group of people who want a new iPhone without the price tag of the iPhone 12 Pro or iPhone 13 range, this is a great choice. There's no settling for second best with this smartphone.

OLED display; More powerful processor; Better camera experience; Dolby Vision support; MagSafe; 5G;

No telephoto lens; Smudges easily; Colours aren't as playful as previous years; Price bump over previous year;

Apple iPhone 12 (128GB, Green) - Excellent review

Hannah Stryker / Review Geek The iPhone 14 is the latest iteration of Apple’s flagship device. Since its launch, the iPhone has set the standard of what a smartphone is, what it does, and how it looks. Fifteen years later, it’s still doing that.

Top-notch cameras, Amazing display, Snappy performance, Great battery life

It's just "this year's iPhone"
