Unlike, say, the iPad Air where the colours tend to stick with all being quite pastel, here they run an interesting range. The iPhone 12's aluminium side frame and glass back come in five colours: black, white, red, green and blue.
The new design doesn't feel like it's a blast from the past, though – just a new spin on the style Apple has always aimed for from the iPhone: a black oblong framed with a dash of colour or material. (Image credit: Future) iPhone 12 review: design & MagSafeĪll of Apple's new phones from late 2020 feature a new design, which most closely resembles the design of the iPad Air (2020) and latest iPad Pros, and which many have compared to the iPhone 5-era devices, with flat sides, and severe corners. It'll work with any adapter that has a USB-C plug, and Apple sells one for £19/$19. It's worth noting that Apple has removed the headphones and charging adapter from the box in the iPhone 12 – it comes with only a Lightning-to-USB-C cable. You can see the current prices on both SIM-free and contract deals at the top of this review. However, while Apple still sells the iPhone 12 at that same price officially, there are lots of major discounts at retailers in the UK in particular, where you can now regularly get the cheapest iPhone 12 for under £700, so it's now much better value overall.

I can't say I'm a fan of seeing the price swing the other way here, and that's been a major factor between this getting full marks and the score it has – the complex relationship between the improvements and value will be a key part of my verdict at the end. That launched at £729/$699/AU$1,199, and actually represented a price drop from the iPhone XR that it, in turn, replaced. The price for this iPhone has risen when compared to the launch of the equivalent iPhone 11, as we've mentioned. Anything bigger than that and you're officially a 'pro' by Apple's standards – meaning you'll need to buy the iPhone 12 Pro. You can go bigger still, to a 256GB version. For £849/$859/AU$1,429, you get the extra storage, which is what we'd suggest people do, particularly if you're paying monthly, since you'd barely notice the difference, and you give yourself a good amount of extra space. You can step up to a model with 128GB, though, for a modest fee. The Google Pixel 5 starts significantly cheaper than this, but comes with 128GB, as an example of where the competition is at. It's a bit tight in a world where popular games can be 3GB easily, and when the device is your primary photo/video storage (though Apple's iCloud system is very good for this).
That includes 64GB of storage, which is… fine.

Besides that, when compared to other phones, as a daily driver from 2020, the iPhone simply has no peers.The iPhone 12 was released on October 23rd 2020, and its official price started from £799/$799/AU$1,349. There is simply no good reason Apple doesn't do this, and it would be very useful in low service areas where users may be completely dependent on wifi. Also, its about time iMessage was able to text non iPhones on wifi. If you press the phone with video consumption, heavy gameplay, or heavy social media consumption, you will need a top off before the end of the day. The only issues I've found with the phone? The battery is only above average. What's more, you can rest assured Apple will support the phone for years and it will be a long time before the phone feels the least "outdated".
If you are looking for social media, browsing, email, messaging, photography, and media consumption, the iPhone is above average in every one of those areas. This phone will run as much as you want to throw at it and never falter. While people will ding the phones for their RAM, the truth is, iPhones simply do not require the RAM other phones do.

No phone matches the iPhone for efficient software use. As such, it does everything well and excels at a few things. This is the phone Apple designs for the typical phone user. As you would expect from an Apple product, the iPhone 12 is beautifully crafted, meticulously engineered, and relentlessly efficient.
