Why you should get the iPhone 12 instead of the iPhone 11 in 2022!

Even after the coming of the iPhone 14, the iPhone 12 remains one of best iPhone values around. It's now two years old, and now more than ever you can fully see its incredible value. You get an attractive design, full 5G connectivity, good cameras and better performance than most Android phones, even two years after this model's release.

The iPhone 12 was released in October of 2021 and it remains available from Apple as well as a number of carriers, us included. The newly reduced price is K9,850 for 64GB of storage. Upping that to 128GB costs K10,950 To save some money, which is one of the many reasons why you should get it. Its incredibly low price!

Design

The iPhone 12 has the flat-edge aesthetic. The flat edges look nice, they improve the iPhone 12’s durability with Apple’s new Ceramic Shield material, as the rounded frames of previous iPhones actually made them more fragile.

Additionally the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 is slightly taller than the Pro models. Apple also reduced the bezels considerably compared to the iPhone 11 and XR.

The iPhone 11’s LCD display was a below par Apple entry-level premium iPhones, but the iPhone 12 alleviates that. It’s all thanks to a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display that matched what you got in the iPhone 12 pro.

This panel has a 2532x1170 resolution, making for a dramatic increase in the clarity of on-screen content compared to the iPhone 11’s dated 1792x898 display. It’s also HDR10 rated, allowing you to watch any videos recorded with the device’s Dolby Vision-equipped rear camera the way they were intended to be seen.

Cameras

Judging from the outside, you wouldn’t think a whole lot has changed in the camera department for the iPhone 12. The dual-lens back lenses are arranged in a similar way as they were previously, and both of the wide and ultrawide optics are 12-megapixel sensors. Overall, the iPhone 12 is top tier for its price bracket where camera performance is concerned.

Performance and 5G

With the first 5-nanometer processor ever embedded in a smartphone, Apple’s A14 Bionic the iPhone 12 delivers best-at-the-time performance that never changed. The A13 Bionic chip in the iPhone 11 series was already faster than Qualcomm’s top-tier 2020 silicon, the Snapdragon 865 Plus, but the A14 extends that gap more.

The iPhone 12 is also able to use 5G though it’s not available globally and reduces the battery life by 2 hours it’s great to know that its compatible with this device.

Battery life and charging

The iPhone 12 could be working with a 2,815-mAh unit. It 12 lasted 10 hours and 23 minutes on 4G, two hours longer than its 5G time.

In testing, the 20-watt adapter got the iPhone 12 from empty to 57% in 30 minutes. That exceeds Apple's own 50% estimate, though you assuredly won’t see that kind of speed if you depend on your old 5-watt brick from iPhones. The iPhone 12 can also now charge wirelessly at a peak speed of 15 watts, which is noticeably better than Apple’s old 7.5-watt limit.
