What we think

It’s easy to dismiss the iPhone 12 as just 'more of the same', especially when you consider the new and compact iPhone 12 mini is on its way. However, 5G networks are rapidly rolling out across the globe, and the MagSafe addition could prove groundbreaking – these things, combined with an improved design and screen, mean the iPhone 12 will become more useful the longer you own it. However, it’s more expensive than last year’s iPhone 11, and it doesn’t come with a charger in the box; yes, there are environmental benefits to this, but you may need to factor buying a new charger into the cost of your new iPhone on top of the higher price.

Reasons to buy

  • + Colorful OLED display
  • + Future-proofed with 5G
  • + MagSafe is intriguing

Reasons to avoid

  • - Cameras are similar to last year
  • - Battery life only okay
  • - Hike in price over iPhone 11

Apple iPhone 12

Cupertino's latest packs plenty of power and a revised crowd-pleasing design

 

With the new iPhone 12, Apple's gone back to an older style of 'square edged' design that we haven't seen in its flagships since the iPhone 5 – and it's a reversion that's seemingly been received well, with the new iPhone 12 range proving to be exceedingly popular.

Along with that change in shape, the other factor that almost certainly helps the iPhone 12's appeal is a new range of brighter colours – you can choose one of five shades: black, white, blue, green and red. 

Powering the iPhone 12 is the new A14 Bionic SoC, Apple's in-house architecture which packs six CPU cores and four GPU cores, and is indisputably the fastest smartphone (and tablet) hardware platform currently available. The A14 is found across all four new models of iPhone 12, so they're all equal when it comes to performance: the Pro and regular phones are identical in this respect.

The other big hardware addition this year is support for 5G mobile networks, and in Australia that basically means Telstra or Optus; Vodafone is slowly rolling out its 5G network, but it's only available in very limited regions as of the end of 2020).

Of course, the iPhone 12 ticks all the other essential boxes when it comes to premium specs too, with a 6.1-inch OLED display, dual 12MP camera system (combining wide and ultrawide lenses), a solid all-day battery life (around 8 hours screen-on time), unibody aluminium chassis, and super-tough and scratch resistant 'Ceramic Shield' glass, which covers both the front and back of the phone. All the new iPhones also support wireless charging and work with a new range of MagSafe charging accessories and cases, and are water and dust resistant to the IP68 standard.

In short, there's heaps to like with the new iPhone 12 beyond just looks, making this a compelling and easy-to-recommend upgrade – or even a reason to switch over from Android.

 

Score: 4.5/5

Verdict: This year's iPhone refresh is one of the more exciting ones in recent years, so if you're in the market for a new phone then the iPhone 12 is an excellent buy.
