Why iPhone 12 is the BEST iPhone to Buy in 2023! | iPhone 12 in 2023 Review (3 Years Later)
2020 was a strange and chaotic year, but Apple still released the iPhone 12 and while it might have been the only good thing to come out of that year, how does it hold up in 2023? Is the camera, battery life and performance still worth it, or should you pay up to buy the iPhone 13 or iPhone 14?
In this 2+ year later review, we take a look at the iPhone 12 and how it performs here in 2023, and why I think it is the best iPhone (in terms of bang for your buck) you can buy. Enjoy!

I had my 12 with 256GB storage since launch and the battery health recently went down to 85%. I doubt I will change the phone anytime soon as it does what I need it to do quite well. I almost always have my work laptop or iPad with me so there is little need for multi-tasking. Will look into changing the battery though.

@sharisartproject3662 Год назад

Thanks, Brandon. I picked up my 12 Pro Max when they'd just come out, and you make me feel good about hanging on to it. I was a hold-out for team Andriod in my family. I think this is a great phone to cross over with. I'm satisfied for what I do with it. My battery health is at 89% so I'm only considering replacing the battery in the future because with 256 GB storage, I'm all set until something major comes down the pike.

I love it and the purple color is really awesome 👌🏼 I’m not that impressed with the battery if I compare it to my 11 Pro Max, but there’s other things in play on the 14 and that’s probably why 🤷🏽‍♀️ I’m planning to buy the Apple Watch series 8 and the AirPods Pro 2.

Got my iPhone 12 Pro Max on launch day and it still holds up absolutely amazing. Performance is plenty good and as you said Brandon extremely similar to the latest iPhones. Only two things I don't like about this phone is the zooming in and battery life. The iPhone 14 Pro / Pro Max with that 48MP sensor looks just as crisp when you zoom in compared to when you don't but unfortunately the iPhone 12 series lacks that feature. As for battery life, my battery health is at 86% which explains the shorter battery life but that's an easy enough fix. The display is great, the notch goes unnoticed 99% of the time, and there's no reason to overspend on a new iPhone if you are on a budget.

@grouchyfluff Год назад

my 12 Pro replaced my 6s in January 2021 and I still have no issues. battery health at 87 over ~600 cycles, still gets me through the day. camera is still phenomenal, proraw shots are great. i think i miss the macro mode most in terms of camera performance when compared with the newer flagships, but i can live with it. The display is also still fantastic, but i will be very pleased when i upgrade to something a little brighter in hdr content. 1200nits sure is good, but it's not 1600 or 2000 like the 14 series. promotion will also be extremely welcome. however, between my 144hz gaming monitor, my ipad pro 11in (120hz), and the 60hz display on iphone, i don't notice the difference nearly as much as i thought i would when switching between devices. Now the question is whether i upgrade to a 14 pro while all my lightning cables are still relevant, or wait to see what other new goodies the next generation brings along with usb-c.

@sammyt3514 Год назад

Interesting that you found the low light shots to be much better on the iPhone 13 since I have tried both the 12 and 13 and found the difference negligeable in the average indoor lighting scenario. Unless by low light you mean near dark situation, where the 13 might have a more distinct advantage, though I would think it would be a question of which is less crappy at that point (i.e. the 13 would be bad and the 12 would be even worse), so neither would be particularly useful.

@@noahklassen1695 having the exact same issue with battery. Never been good form the start, like always has been an average one. I dont think i have experienced the same issue as you did with the wallpaper but i have other problemscan. Overall the phone feels slow, sometimes frame dropping even doing minor stuff like swipping the control center, closing apps, using the phone outside with direct sunlight too, things that i have not experienced with any other iphone before. Even my friends 11´s work better than mine as one day we left our phones in the car at the beach, when we came back they were all kinda hot, but only mine was lagging AF because throttling. Then i completely understand that my phone lives in perpetual mini throttle state as it is even with minor tasks, i couldnt make other conclusion. Hate this phone since i purchased it sealed last year. BTW, no, factory reset didnt help.

I am seeing a lot of iphone 12 mini. i have a X and looking for iphone 12 but not willing to go over £200. i'm doing loads of comparative shopping and research.... i looked at the mini but want to keep same size so looking at the 12. what do you think?

@cool10234 Год назад

I disagree, the best value in the line up is clearly the iPhone 13 , the added ram, longevity ( thanks to it sharing the same processor as the 14s) , much better battery life , extra camera features portrait , cinematic , sensor shift stabilization and double the storage at 128gb. The 12 is great if it’s only what can fit in your budget but the 13 is the sweet spot. Also , most used iPhone aren’t going to have warranty or the ability to add AppleCare, if you crack the display you are going to spend 300 to fix it , not a good suggestion imo

@BrandonButch Год назад

We’re not talking about new here. If we were, then yes I agree.

@cool10234 Год назад

I understand this is mostly due to the iPhone 12 going for 400 or less on the used market. I just am wary of the used market because you never know what can happen. More importantly repairs are so expensive even battery replacements just got more expensive as of March 1st. So it’s better to do a carrier deal imo, though I see your perspective cause as long as nothing is damaged your saving a bunch of money . It’s just a risk

@9852323 Год назад

Yeah I agree it’s just not worth it. If you want a cheap iPhone just get the iPhone 11 or the SE2. The 12 isn’t worth it even used because if you spent a little bit more you could just get the 13. I especially disagree when he said to sell your iPhone 11 and upgrade to the 12. You have to skip at least three generations of iPhones to get a significant upgrade these days.

@MrAiman55 Год назад

iPhone 12 is the worst of battery, and their chipset are bad when you are using multitask. It very hot, when you play game mobile legend or codM. iPhone 13 is the best when you want play game or playing music even it hot, the chipset will not throttle too much.

@bergerbienaime 9 месяцев назад

Needed a second phone, and after paying $XXXX a couple years ago for a flagship Samsung that was less than thrilling despite the steep price, thought I would look at an older iPhone. The 12pro seemed such a great phone and value, so bought an Apple refurbished product and it does not disappoint! Sometimes design and tech come together especially well, and IMHO the 12 was one of those occasions. Great video!

The 13 and 14 get a brighter display and that would have been nice that it was brighter on day one… I hated the notch at first coming from an iPhone 8, but my 12 has been a great. Lens flare in photos is an issue though. My battery health is at 86% and I’ve had it for 2 years 3 months.

@Mohammad_Ali__ Год назад

As an iPhone 12 user since the time it came out, I’ve noticed that the display was far better than the iPhone XR. Managing screen brightness when outside isn’t that good, but it’s just good to a certain level that just generally you can see the screen. Camera quality is perfect from my perspective for the most part since every time photos are taken. Compared to the iPhone XR, it just seemed great in detail both in capturing good audio and video. The ability for it to autofocus is great. The sapphire glass just makes the device look nice and durable (at an extent). It’s really comfortable to handle, especially if a slim, thin, and gripped case is put onto the device. All in all, the battery life of the device is great, especially if iOS 16 or later isn’t installed to make me use the phone with that type of software to make me get my iPhone prone to getting damaged battery.

@JediWebSurf Год назад

what's wrong with ios 16?

@Mohammad_Ali__ Год назад

@@JediWebSurf it’s just that although the capacity of the software is at a small size and brings in new features, compared to iOS 15.6 and iOS 15.7, battery drainage is far quicker and iOS 16 [so far] tends to increase the temperature of the device that is in use. This is why before I could switch to an Apple device (or even just update my device’s software), I would first listen to reviews and see how their performances affect a certain device. Update: if the device can run on iOS 16.4.1, then all is good.
