it’s been three months since apple secreted their iphone 12 lineup and now that all the hype has started to die down let’s talk about what’s changed what we might have been wrong about if you should buy the iphone 12 instead of a 12 pro or a cheaper 11 and the biggest issue that i have with this phone that is partially available and at the end of the day if you should just wait for the iphone 13. when apple launched four phones earlier this year i are of the view that the 12 was almost redundant desegregated in with the cheaper and smaller iphone 12 mini that beings were asking for for years and the iphone 12 pro which seemed to offer a lot more for not that large-hearted of world prices hike especially after that hidden 30 activation accusation that apple and some carriers tacked on without mentioning it at the occurrence which i’m still salty about and you should be too i figured the iphone 12 wouldn’t be anywhere near as hot of a vendor as the iphone 11 simply because it’s no longer at that huge cost station of but instead expenses up to 130 more and the iphone 11 is still available now for 599 but now that auctions chassis are out the outcome is interesting i figured that a lot of budget-minded people would still go for the 11 since it’s still a exceedingly competent phone with a fast chip and dual cameras just like the 12 and at the same time the 12 has never been as close to the price point of the pro prototype last year the 11 pro cost more than the 11 and even if you upgraded to 128 gigabytes of storage it remains 250 dollars more this year the iphone 12 could be up to 830 bucks and then if you bump up your storage you’re spend 880 means that the 12 pro payments only 120 dollars more so should you merely buy a pro well let’s see what else you’re getting starting off with “the worlds largest” see divergences you’re getting a awfully payment stainless steel frame that almost no other brands give not only does it inspect good but it also offers improved protection and less striking blemishes and dents compared to aluminum now you do lose the wide variety of color options but you get the more fee ones like the pacific blue or gold the back looks a lot sleeker as well with the matte glass finish that is fingerprint resistant and the camera cutout is silky for a really clean look and of course the biggest differences come in the camera department along with the standard and wide camera we have a telephoto lens for zoom shots and a lidar sensor which is used for ar not only that but the pro can shoot dolby vision at up to 60 frames per second instead of 30 and you can also shoot apple prora which are both just software locks since the 12 and 12 mini have the same camera sensors and processors now three months ago i are of the view that these extra features clearly spawned the iphone 12 pro value the extra money and apple was shooting themselves in the foot by parent the iphone 12 price by so much compared to the previous year and at the same time apple is offering the iphone 12 mini which is basically the same phone but with a smaller display for a hundred dollars less and the only downside that i noticed is battery life and even still it’s only about a one hour difference of screen on time and with my call i have to charge both during the day anyway so it seemed like another huge option if you don’t want to go for the pro since almost everything else is the same so now that we’ve had some time did the iphone 12 prove to be the odd middle child or did apple know what they were doing here’s what objective up happening first off marketings fleshes started came to see you and even though apple followers were pleading for another small flagship telephone for years the iphone 12 mini turned out to be an absolute flop and in my video about why the iphone 12 mini flunked i talked about a few issues that we had with the phone and why i could no longer use it the biggest issue among the index was the 5g feeler although it has the same exact specs as a 12 the festivity was noticeably worse and in numerou areas where i had service with the bigger iphones i didn’t with the 12 mini and that was the biggest deal breaker for me but for most people i think the sizing is just way too small now apple has been focusing on gigantic phones for years and even though it is a pain getting used to a larger phone formerly you’re be applicable to it it is very hard even harder to go back to something smaller because of that the 12 mini auctions have been so low-toned at exclusively about 5 of the total iphone sales that apple will now have to pay samsung for the lack of volume of these oled showings so it turns out most people are hop-skip the mini but what about the pro well marketings digits have shown that the iphone 12 pros account for about 20 of total iphone sales and that seems to be a total of 20 percent so split between the phones and if i had to guess i would say that the max model will pluck more of that twenty percent precisely because it’s the only one that has a larger display and the extra features now go ahead and take a guess how much of the total iphone marketings including the older iphone examples the standard iphone 12 captivated go ahead and remark down below the iphone 12 was 27 of total iphone auctions not only that but because of the iphone 12 apple once again became number one in telephone auctions for the first time since 2016 and had a revenue of over 100 billion dollars for the first time ever so looks like you guys out there spoke with your pouch and iphone 12 became the monarch of the iphones selling approximately three times more than the pro it’s crazy so the question is why is that and would i as a reviewer still recommend spending the additional money on the pro like i did before or maybe saving money and get the 11 or maybe if you’re on justification only don’t even upgrade this year and wait for the 13. Let me start out by saying that there is no way that i would buy an 11 even if the premium is so tempting sure the camera hardware is basically the same but the a14 processor has made a huge difference especially in ultra wide shots and the brand-new motif is not simply fixes it appear modern but it’s also thinner and smaller although the screen is the same size and the oled screen is so much better than the lcd from before real world battery life has also improved but the biggest difference for me is that the modem not only allows for full sub 6 mid party and millimeter billow subscribe so this phone is future proof in that aspect but it also has much faster regular lte that has had much better reception than the iphone 11 s now what about the pro mannequins if we skip the stainless steel and the cleaner inspects the biggest thing that pushed me towards them are the better cameras since the spectacle is pretty much exactly the same other than a little bit of artificial brightness limit which isn’t palpable most of the time now while i do really like having a third telephoto camera and i thought that i would ever require one i’ve recently found that shooting standard photos and cropping in seems to be resulting in perceptibly better photos than before now i’m not sure if apple has been softly informing the algorithm or consuming diffusion more frequently but the photos coming out look fantastic now sure if wishes to zoom in 10 periods you are gonna see a bigger difference but a two-time zoom shot searches fairly good with the standard iphone 12 lens as for biography shots i’ve been using the 1x lens practice more frequently than telephoto because images turn out so clean in comparison with the zoomed in one and the one thing that i thought i would miss the most is taking nighttime sketches but going back over my camera move it turns out that it don’t actually take them very frequently so perhaps i wouldn’t miss them as much as i expected looking over how i’ve been using my pro and ensure how considerably better the 12 marketings are it seems like most people either don’t want to spend more or maybe they are only don’t really need the extra features that come with the pro prototype and looking back i think that most people would be happy with the 12. The settlements aren’t as bad as i expected and one thing that i am really appreciating now more than ever is just how astonishingly lightweight it feels compared to the pro which is much much heavier all while still feeling very premium the iphone 12 gives you so much more this year than apple has in previous years you get that excellent all-around screen size for most people a opulent high-res oled showing and the same exact antennas and modem as the pro phones which it was never that case before so there are way less endangers this year than before now sure the cost did come near by up to 129 but i think that the price increase is definitely vindicated for a much more future proof telephone my exclusively complaint about it “wouldve been” the application fasten camera features such as the pro fresh and the 60 fps dolby eyesight and the only hardware issue that i have with it is apple’s ceramic shield that they are advertising right now which is tougher but it scratches much simpler than before and that’s not an issue with precisely this phone it’s with all of the iphone 12 that is why i would highly recommend a 10 screen protector which i’ll go ahead and attach down in the video description below and finally should you wait to buy an iphone 13 instead now in my opinion the answer is no the biggest improvements like pro flow for example will likely be coming only to the pro accounts and we will still have this notch next year it simply might be coming somewhat smaller battery life will get slightly better as well but overall the upgrade will be much smaller and much less significant than going from an iphone 10 r or an 11 to the iphone 12. overall the iphone 12 has been an absolute killer for apple and for the masses as well with tons of my own personal friends refurbishing to them and being super glad with it even if they disappeared from a more payment iphone 10 or 10 s and 3 months later this phone is looking even better than before go ahead and let me know your thoughts down below would you deplete the extra on an iphone 12 pro or perhaps time buy a mini instead i want to see your guys’s opinions if you want to see our video and all the leaks and rumors for the iphone 13 “were having” that video right over there that’s been max and i’ll catch you in the next video.
