Iphone 12in this episode i'm
gonna share with you my pros and cons
that i've learned about this phone after
three
months and i'll begin with the price
that i paid for this before we get into
that
829 bucks so yeah that's the price of
this one
and it does have a little bit tax so
it's a little bit more than that even
with tax depending on where you're at so
let me talk about the first pro
of this phone right here that i
discovered after three months and that's
got to be
the display of this device because it
goes from
the 11 with the lcd to the oled it's
something that i keep noticing about
this phone it feels more like the pro
device
having the super retina xdr oled display
on here of course it's got your night
shift dark mode true tone but what's
really noticeable is just having those
deeper contrast colors
when you are doing stuff in applications
so when you pop up things with darker
backgrounds
you'll see definitely it just has a much
better contrast
than what we've seen on prior iphone 11
and iphone 10r so
that's my first pro hands down the oled
display in addition if you notice when
we look closely here
the bezels are even thinner than before
and it's something that just makes the
iphone 11 or the iphone 12 excuse me
look
very sleek here on the body so i gotta
say
sleek display overall great oled as well
so the next thing i really like about
this phone
is that it has a very good balanced size
of you know just a good size screen
and being pretty lightweight as well so
definitely do like that it's pretty easy
to hold compared to
the iphone 12 pro max for example a lot
of people pick that phone but let's be
frank right here
this device right here is definitely
easier to manage day to day it's much
lighter
and it still has a relatively large
enough screen it's not as small as the
mini
and still feeling very comfortable so a
very good compromise very good balance
and
i think the size alone is one reason why
this might be the best seller of the
bunch in the iphone 12 lineup
okay so the next thing i found the pro
of this device
after three months has got to be the
mobile performance with 5g
if i go ahead and click apple.com you'll
notice that things just
open faster definitely of course 4g
lte to 5g definitely gonna open up
faster
but when it's really noticeable is when
you're out and about and you're in some
of these areas where you typically would
have a slower performance on your older
iphone with 4g
this one shouldn't give you that problem
and i notice it also has better phone
call reception as well so
i just like this 5g this mobile
performance it just gives this phone
a sense of longevity that you're not
going to get if you buy something like
an iphone 11 because
while you know the iphone 11 and other
iphones will be updated for a long time
this one having 5g this goes for the
other 12s as well but having 5g
can help you to hold on to this phone
even longer than say if you bought
apple's 4g lte phones in the lineup so
my next thing after three months i
really noticed to be great
is the performance now i don't know if
you've been watching the channel but
we've been putting the iphone 12
up against a lot of the phones out there
and
it's doing very well i mean very very
well so this a14
just like the prior iphones you're going
to notice that it gives you
even slicker performance than before now
it's not going to be overly noticeable
if you have anything like an 11 series
but i think it just gives that extra
boost that's gonna again lead to more
longevity
on this device super amazing performance
with the a14 and when it comes to
benchmarks it really does show getting
benchmark scores that are
faster than most laptops however if you
do have an m1 mac or m1 mac
mini you probably are going to get
something similar to this so
definitely not going to outbeat those
but this is a super fast phone it's
insane how quick
apple has been managing to get these
processors in this phone definitely
giving these phones a longer life
than you would typically expect from
other devices so
super thumbs up a14 has been remarkable
so the next pro
has been battery life i'm not overly
impressed with this and i'll talk about
why this can also be a con in my con
section
but i'm pretty happy with the battery
life for this phone seeing that it does
use 5g now of course i've maintained my
100
battery health it's only been three
months but this phone right here
definitely get around five to six hours
screen time using 5g
and it can get through a day and that's
really what matters considering we're
moving to 5g
apple waited a little while to get to 5g
but at least this phone is gonna make it
through the day so battery life i'm not
super upset about so i would consider it
a pro because if i can get through the
day on a 5g iphone
similar to my past iphones i'm gonna be
pretty happy about that
and so i'm happy about that here with
the iphone 12. okay guys so pro
number six is the cameras we have
that great main camera and then we have
the ultra wide
but i'm not gonna talk about this just
go ahead and look at the samples i took
with this camera let me know what you
guys think
and my final pro of iphone 12 has got to
be the aluminum edges i think they stay
super clean
compared to the 12 pro series which can
get scratched up
smudgy with that stainless steel while
the stainless steel does feel more
premium
it does come at a cost so cost of
smudging and scratching now
the back of this thing or the other
iphone 12s with the glass backs can get
smudgy
as well but i kind of like how on the
iphone 12 right here this material
stays cleaner by the camera one of the
areas where on the iphone
12 pro max it would get really smudgy
and messed up same on the edges so
to me it might have a little bit of a
cleaner look than even the 12 pro series
and the areas that are kind of high
touch like the sides
for example and sometimes you
accidentally will bump into the camera
whereas the back is clean on the 12 pro
but this is easy to clean the back the
sides though
can get smudgy real quickly and real
easily all right well it seems like many
people want to hear the cons as well so
let's get into them the first one low
storage come on apple it's 20
21 what is with the 64 gigabytes
for 8.29 this is absolutely ridiculous
we should have 128 here
in 2021 especially considering iphones
do not have expandable memory
or anything like that you have to pay
for cloud storage throw 128 gig across
the board standard it's 20 21 people are
using this 4k hdr video you put in here
i want to see that next okay so the next
con this is a con for
you know i think iphone 11 as well but
5x zoom
now i know not everybody you know needs
zoom but come on
5x you could go at least 10x digitally i
know it's not going to be
the best overall result but come on 5x
not very happy with this this is just
something it's like 829
there's phones that are cheaper than s20
fe s21
they can go 30x this thing can only go
five and while that 30x isn't amazing
5x is hardly any reach so terrible zoom
on this phone i do want to see further
improvements to zoom on the base 13.
i know the pros should go even further
maybe 20x on those devices
on the next pro series but this one
should go farther on the next one in my
opinion
next up is the price on this phone is
just too high
8.29 last year the iphone 11
was 6.99 that's 129 increase
just for an oled display no this is just
not a good price point i feel like
for the iphone 12 here i think the
galaxy s21 is even a little bit cheaper
than this
not much but still i mean this price
needs to come down a little bit
729 i think would be fair for this
device and even for the mini that one's
too high as well i think the mini should
be
around you know 629 to 600 maybe 5.99
the starting price
especially considering you're throwing
64 gigs now if apple started this at 128
at 8.29 that makes
a little more sense but this phone to me
is just too high
overpriced definitely they should have
came down a bit
on it in terms of the price but a lot of
people aren't gonna care they're gonna
buy this anyway because they get
promotional deals it has a you know
monthly
payment plan you know things like that
so people are still gonna get it but i'm
just saying
if you're buying this phone there are
better there are better values in terms
of price point than this
number four this notch this thing is
just nasty at this point we've been
seeing this
on every phone for like four years and
it hasn't shrunk it hasn't changed it's
just still staring at you
right in the face right there yeah it
does house face id and a lot of people
gonna say
i don't care nobody gives a crap about
that notch obviously they don't millions
have bought this phone
but when we're talking about innovation
pushing industry forward
you know every other phone out there
trying to get their phones closest to
they can to offscreen and apple just
keeps putting out the same old notch
it's starting to look dated whether you
want to admit it or not so
definitely con number four for this
phone is got to be
the notch i want to see it go down a bit
and the next con
is face id and it's not because face id
is a terrible system or anything that
it's perfect in terms of a face unlock
super secure stuff like that it's just
in the covet era right now
it's not overly useful when you got the
mask on you got to go
use that archaic analog feeling you know
pin code from the original iphones
basically
so that's just something that i think
apple could improve on the next phone
during the current times is to put a
touch id solution rather they put it
in the power button or they put it
underneath the display like samsung has
been doing
with their galaxy devices so i would
like to see
some implementation along with face id
of a touch id scanner
on the next one that does come out but
in conclusion
the iphone 12 you know this phone is
designed to appeal the masses and even
though i had a handful of pros and cons
it's just one of the best overall
balanced devices you can get the price
a little bit high but you can get it
discounted depending on the carrier
and whatever promotions are going on you
got it blue you can get it in green red
black white it was
clearly designed to appeal to the masses
and it has been selling millions of
devices
and it will continue to do so at least
until the next iphone comes out so three
months later
pretty amazing balance device it's
there's nothing that blows me away about
this phone but there's nothing that
really super disappoints me either and
it's a very easy phone to rock day to
day
