( upbeat music) – What’s up people, SuperSaf here and Apple have just releasedtheir glistening brand-new shade of iPhone 12 in violet and it has been roughly about six months since the iPhone 12 was initially exhausted so I reviewed this is a perfecttime to revisit the iPhone, see how it’s held up six months later and if you should buy this right now will wait a little bit longer. So I’ve had the iPhone 12 since the year was liberated, but I am primarily aniPhone 12 Pro Max user and I do switch back to the iPhone 12 from time to time and one of the things that I always appreciatewhenever I come back to the iPhone 12 is justhow much more compact and easier to use it is. As much as I adoration the iPhone 12 Pro Max, it is a very big and heavy device.And the iPhone 12, in myopinion, is the perfect balance. The iPhone 12 Mini is a bit too small for me and six months on, I’mstill a fan of the design. I genuinely do like the flat hems and this one might be alittle bit contentious, but I actually prefer the aluminum enclose on the iPhone 12 comparedto the stainless steel make on the Pro and the Pro Max.Now, one of the main reasons for that is although the stainlesssteel looks really nice and of course it’s more durable, it exactly comes fingerprints so quickly and it no longer inspects that good whereas the aluminum make onthe iPhone 12, in my opinion, time gazes better becauseof that matte finish. Now having said that, we dohave a glossy finish on the back which has the opposite effect. Now I’m sure there’s goingto be a lot of beings in the comments just sayinghey, merely use the case. And “if youre using” a bag, then you’re really notgoing to be vexed about either of these things, buthey, I’m just mentioning it. Generally, if you do have Apple Care, then why not use it without a contingency. I also like the fact that we’vegot batches more color alternatives on the iPhone 12 comparedto the Pro models. You’ve now got a totalof six different emblazons. There’s white, pitch-black, product red, blue, lettuce, and now this purple.Now let me just say that there is literally noother smartphone company in the world that can create so much hype around a new colouring design. Only Apple can do this and I think they’ve donea really good task now with the violet. I do like this color, it’s nice that we’ve got the complexion coordinated aluminum frame, which really commendations the back. And this is more of a deeper violet compared to what we had on the iPhone 11, it’s a little bit more vibrant.I’m sure a good deal of people arereally going to like this. I mean, if you really like this and you are waiting for it to come along, then I’m sure you’vealready pre-ordered it. Now let’s talk about the presentation. So I likewise really like thedisplay on the iPhone 12. And for me personally, thiswas the biggest upgrade compared to the iPhone 11, which had an LCD display. We’ve now got an all LED display and you don’t need to go technical, all you need to know thatthis is a much better display. You’ve got much more vibrant colourings, you’ve got great viewing angles on a very nice contrast ratio as well. And this year, the iPhone 12 display’s almost identical to thatof the iPhone 12 Pro. Unlike the difference thatwe had between the iPhone 11 and the iPhone 11 Pro, the iPhone 12 Pro does have a slightly bright showing, but unless you’re somebody like me who ever wear sunglasses and you’re fueling yoursmartphone out in the sunbathe, I genuinely don’t think this is something you’re going to notice much.Now being somebody that uses both Android and Apple smartphones, Idefinitely would have liked to have had a higher refresh charge. I likewise use my iPad Pro, which has a promotion display and that essentially only obliges moving and transitions and animationslook that much smoother. Now because this is the iPhone1 2 mannequin , not the 12 Pro, I can be a little bitmore forgiving for this. Generally speaking, it’sa terribly, very good display. Something that I would like to see in the future is an ever on display.This is something that I’ve spend on numerous, many manoeuvres before and it’s something that once “youre using” it, it’s really difficult tokind of not get was just about to it, exactly being able to see things at a glance and because this is an all LED display, it’s perfectly possible. Yes, it’ll have a slightimpact on battery life, but this is somethingthat I are looking forward to on future iPhones. Apple too use ceramicshield for the expose. They don’t even call it glass and this is supposed to bethe most durable display on any smartphone. Now, I’ve not plunged my iPhone 12 in the past six months thankfully, but from plummet research that we’ve seen, this has lived pretty well. However, one thing thatyou do have to consider is although ceramic shieldmakes this a lot more drop resistant, it doesn’t really make it that much more scratch resistant. Now on my iPhone 12, I can notice some micro scratchings that have developed over time. On my iPhone 12 Pro, Iactually did the smart thing and got a screen protector on right away from our path patronize dbrand.So if you do want to keepyour iPhone 12 display in pristine condition, I would definitely recommendpicking up a screen champion. dbrand screen protectors are ultra rounded with smooth rims, dbrand tier accuracy, and top tier audio phobic coating. I’ve had my dbrand temperedglass screen defender on my iPhone 12 Profor the last six months and it’s been absolutely immense. So I is absolutely recommends the following. I’ll leave a link to dbranddown in the description below. Let’s move on to the cameras. So in my opinion, the iPhone1 2 has some of the best cameras on any smartphone right now. You’ve got very consistentresults with the primary as well as the ultra-wide camera and you get really gone natural hues, excellent dynamic straddle, and lots of details. And the two cameras hereare pretty much identical to the Pro as well so I’vereally liked shooting with these. Now you do miss out onthe telephoto camera and this is somethingthat I feel most people are not going to have a problem with. Personally, I do miss the telephoto camera whenever I’m using the iPhone 12, and that’s particularly for portraits.Now, let me break this down. So the iPhone 12 can takeportraits from the primary camera, but these are wide direction biographies. Generally, if you speak to a photographer, they make portraitswith a telephoto camera. They exactly ogle more delighting, in my opinion any style, and that’s somethingthat the iPhone 12 Pro and the 12 Pro Max allow you to do. So if you look at someof these illustrations here, when you’re using the primarycameras for descriptions, they’re pretty much analogous, but with the Pro and the Pro Max, you do have that ability touse the telephoto camera, which in my view exactly givesyou much better portraits. Now, some of you guys may dissent. A much of beings that I speak to think that telephoto portraitsjust conclude them seem fat.I actually promote sketches that stimulate me gaze a littleless slim shall “theyre saying” because I am jolly slim, but yeah, if you’re somebody who really doesn’t mind wide tilt descriptions comparedto telephoto paintings, I really don’t thinkyou’re going to be missing that telephoto camera too much. And the selfie cameras on the iPhone 12 also identical to the Pro and the Pro Max. And they actually takegood results overall. Sometimes they can be a bit too much on the orange feature I find, but generally speaking, very good cameras. And too for video, I still think that theiPhones take the best video on any smartphone right now and this is also thecase for the iPhone 12, you get some certainly, really good quality video with excellent dynamic range.And now you likewise haveHDR with Adobe Vision. Now on the iPhone 12, so you can only do this up to 30 formulates a second, but generally speaking, I foresee unless it’s something that you’re actually looking forward to, having 4k 60 chassis a few seconds, you’re going to be more than fortunate with what this smartphoneoffers at 4k 30 chassis a few seconds. Now, one of the thingsthat you do miss out on on the iPhone 12 comparedto the Pro models is Apple Pro Raw. Now over the last six monthsof using my iPhone 12 Pro Max, I’ve only use ApplePro Raw a very few era and that’s because the iPhone previously makes really gone portraits. Having Pro Raw is great to beable to edit after the fact, but I think it’s only forparticular situations. Once again, I think you’re reallynot going to miss out on this and it’s not something that I’ve missed whenever I’ve been using the iPhone 12. And you also miss out on the LIDAR scanner that you get along with the promodels, which is great for photographs in low-pitched lightas well as boosted AR. But once again, it’s going to come down to how much you actuallyvalue and use these things. Personally, I didn’t findmyself missing them too much when on the iPhone 12. Right now, let’s talk a little bit about the application action. So we have recently came iOS 14.5 and this actually broughta lot of increases which we’ve been talking about for the past few months, in particular the face ID situation.So let me just say Iabsolutely enjoy face ID and it’s something that’s so convenient and I too adore how much it’s integrated with a lot of apps, suchas bank apps and nonsense. I don’t need to enter my passwordin or anything like that, I can just use face ID and it wreaks and it’s very, very convenient. Now, of course, the problem that we’ve had over the past few months, which none genuinely expected is with the whole pandemic, we’re all wearing cover-ups. And one of the things that Ijust find genuinely disheartening was peculiarly if I’mout in a supermarket, I’m out supermarket, I wantto see my grocery list, I’m trying to unlock my phone, I’ve got my disguise on, I can’t do it.I need to enter in my passcode. Now with iOS 14.5, there is somewhat of a mixture. Now, there’s a big asterisk now. You do need an Apple Watch. What you can do with iOS 14.5 if you have an Apple Watch, you can enable a featurewhich will allow you to unlock your smartphone. If you have a mask on, it’s going to notice you’ve got a mask on, but if you do have your Apple Watch, then it will still allow youto unlock your smartphone, which is something that’s absolutely enormous if you have an Apple Watch. Now this isn’t going towork accurately like face ID. If you do want to gointo a particular app, then you’re still going tohave to enter in your passcode or remove your mask to use face ID in.You’re not going to be ableto use Apple Pay like this on your smartphone. You’ll still be able to use your watch. Now here’s the thing, Ithink the excellent answer move forward for the nextiPhone will be having touch ID alongside face ID. Now whether that’s under the display or I visualize another solution would be on the power button now onthe side, this in my opinion, would be a much betteroverall solution going forward and it’s something thatI would like to see. Apart from that, I too reallylike the additional privacy and security aims thatyou now have in the iPhone.You can disable apps from moving you which is something that’s greatand I’m glad that’s there. You can only switch this offin the directs right away. And I likewise like how far iOS has come and there’s lots more customizations if you’d like to use them such as widgets. Now I don’t use widgets like all the time, but personally I kind of use widgets to kind of push everything down because I can never reach the top recess. Now, one of the thingswith iOS is that apps are always automatically organized.You can’t situate some apps at the bottom and have an empty space at the top. And I kind of use widgetsto push these apps down to prepare them much more reachable. So I approximate this is somewhat of a solution. I would like a little bitmore customization on iOS, but hey, generally I do like it. Now, one of the thingsthat still stymie me about iOS is RAM management. Now, what does that mean? So RAM is just how manyprocesses can be happening at one time and how many thingscan go on in the background. So let me give you an example. If I am on Instagram, Itry to upload a floor. Now if I leave Instagram andcarry on doing something else, that storey will not carry onuploading in the background. It will just stop until Icome back onto Instagram and actually wait forit to finish uploading. Now, this is a problemthat I never experienced on Android smartphones becausethey have lots and lots of RAM and they can exactly carry ondoing this in the background.And the iPhone 12 has less RAM compared to the Pro and the Pro Max, but this is somethingthat I’ve suffered on the Pro and the Pro Max as well. So I’m assuming it’s notjust a hardware edition, I think it’s a application edition and I hope in future iPhones, this can be improved. And if it is a case thatI-phones need more RAM for this, then I hope the I-phonesin future have more RAM. However, apart from that, the hasten and performancehas been absolutely fine. Even six months on, this is just as snappy and as fast as it was on the first day. Right now, the newiPhones likewise come with 5G. So what has been my experience over the past six months with 5G? Well, if I’m completely honest with you, where I live right now, thereis not that much 5G coverage, it’s only in the central areas.So whenever I am in the central fields, I can experience immense 5G rates, but other than that, I’ve notreally been able to experience 5G to its potential. I think that’s also mainly due to the fact that we have been stuck in lockdown and I’ve not reallybeen trip as much. However, I’m glad 5G ishere on the iPhone 12 because it precisely means that thesedevices are future-proofed. And I like that Apple included5G across all of the poses. So perhaps you’re not going tobe able to take all the benefits of 5G right now, but it’s good to know that a couple of years down the line, if you’re going to be keeping your iPhone, then you will be ableto take advantage of 5G at a later point.Now let’s move on tobattery life and billing. So in my experience, the iPhone 12 has hadreally good battery life. Even after six months, this really goes me throughthe day on most moments unless I’m using the cameraa lot or if I’m gaming a good deal, then obviously it’s notgoing to last-place as long. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is still the prince of battery life in my own experience. If you are somebody who’salways on your phone and using it very heavily, then the iPhone 12 Pro Max is still “re going to be” thebetter recommendation.But generally speaking, I thinkthe iPhone 12 for most users is going to be absolutelyfine in terms of battery life. Now, let’s talk a little bit about the whole charging situation. Now I’ve ranted about this in previous videos in myiPhone 12 Pro Max revaluation so I’ll attach that videoin the description, but Apple not including a charger out of the box on the iPhone 12 sequences. Now I get the whole environmental disagreement and I’m all for bettering the environmental issues, but there’s a few thingsthat various kinds of rebut that which I’ve talked about.And the first thing is that these new iPhonessupport faster charge and if you do want to takeadvantage of fast blame, if you have an older charger, it’s not going to be able to do that so you would have to go andbuy this new charger separately which is going to cost around 19 pounds and that’s obviously goingto impact the environmental issues. The other thing is thatwe now have Mac Safe.Now I’m a huge fan of Mac Safe. And I make Mac Safe is really convenient especially for the timeswhen you’re half sleeping and you’re trying to put your smartphone onto a charger and itdoesn’t actually line up and you wake up to a dead phone. This is something that youreally don’t have with Mac Safe because it just snarls on, something that I reallydo like, but again, if you just wanted to are benefiting from Mac Safe, you’re going to have to not only buy the Mac Safe blames separately, which is around 39, 40 pounds, but that Mac Safe charger has USB character C on the other side whichmeans you can’t application an older charger with that.So you’re going to have to buythe faster charger separately, which is going to cost youaround another 20 pounds so you’re going to haveto pay 60 pounds more and the environmental impact that you have from all of those additional commodities and the associatedpackaging kind of takes away from the saved environmentalimpact that you get from not including acharger out of the box. But regardless, let’s now talk about pricing. So the iPhone 12, right now if you want tobuy it from Apple instantly, you’re still going tobe paying the same price as when it was released.So it’s about 800 pounds in the UK, and 50 pounds more you willget doubled the storage. Now the first thing that Iwant to say straight away is if you are consideringbuying the iPhone 12, I would definitely certainly recommend going for double thestorage 128 gigabytes. You might not use it fully, but the facts of the case that thesedevices can film up 4k, 50 pounds more in my opinion is definitely worth merely investing for that additional storageand just that peace of mind peculiarly if you’regoing to be using this for a couple of years, butto answer the question, should you buy this right now? Well, there’s a few things here.I “re saying” firstly that the iPhone 12 isan astonishing smartphone and it’s still my recommendediPhone for most people even six months on, butyou do have to keep in sentiment that it has been six monthssince this has been out, which means that inanother six months time, there will be the next iPhone out. And if you’re somebodywho’s going to pick up the iPhone 12 today, and then it’s going to kickyourself six months down the line because now there’s a new iPhone out and now your iPhone is thelast year’s pose once simply a few months down, then my recommendation would be just wait. It’s only a few more months and you’ll be able to see whatthe new iPhone has to offer. And if you want tostill get the iPhone 12, then it’s going to beat a much reduced cost.However, if you are somebodywho’s maybe on an upgrade cycles/second and you have a very old iPhoneand you want to upgrade now, perhaps you really likethis new purple color. Well, I can still recommendthe iPhone 12 six months on and I think it’s an excellent design, which will last you a good few years. That’s what I belief anyway. What do you guys think?
