For the past two years, whenever Apple announced a new iPhone, it also announced a larger version. Last year’s iPhone 11 Pro Max was just a bigger 11 Pro, in the same way that this year’s iPhone 12 Mini is just a smaller iPhone 12. But when Apple released the iPhone 7 back in 2016, it added dual-rear cameras to the bigger iPhone 7 Plus. Not only did this addition help distinguish the two

Weve said it before, and well say it again; in this day and age, theres simply no reason to spend more than 500 on a smartphone. While dropping the best part of a grand on the latest Samsung Galaxy may get you an array of flashy bells and whistles, the midrange market offers all the core functionality you could ever wish for – and in the case of the Google Pixel 4a, even more besides.The Pixel 4a

Google’s Pixel 4a was late to the game this year. It was supposed to launch at I/O back in May, and then I/O was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It finally arrived earlier this month. The reception was mixed, mainly because Google removed any choice from its new device.Indeed, there’s no XL model, it only comes in black, and there’s just one storage configuration.

Iphone 12 Review

____


Apple has released new support information around MagSafe following the iPhone 12’s release, instructing users to take care when handling cards with RFID chips and magnetic strips near the device, and to certainly not leave them placed between the back of the phone and the MagSafe wireless charger. The iPhone 11s LCD display has unquestionably been the Achilles’ heel of Apples entry-level premium iPhones in recent years, but the iPhone 12 alleviates that. By ensuring that the charger clicks precisely into place (and boy, it clips firmly), with confirmation through the chip that the charger is safe, Apple has upped the power when wirelessly charging older iPhones we’ve sometimes woken in the morning to find that our wireless charger had slipped a little when we placed our phone on it, and the phone is nearly out of battery, and that’ll be a thing of the past with the iPhone 12 and MagSafe.

Jim Wilson/The New York TimesI started this iPhone review in the most peculiar way: by opening a map to find out where I could test it.Thats because Apples newest iPhones, for the first time, work with 5G, the ultrafast fifth-generation wireless networks that will theoretically let people download a movie to their devices in seconds. The problem? The superspeedy 5G networks have not been rolled

The No. 1 question I’ve been asked on social media this week goes like this: “Should I upgrade to the iPhone 12?”I like the phone I have now. Do I really have to? But I just bought a new phone a few months ago. Really?I’ve been testing the 12 and 12 Pro since Tuesday, and the short answer is yes. But there are a lot of qualifiers.You get: the best iPhone Apple has made yet, with a welcome

The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro are here and mark the beginning of a new generation of iPhone. Support for 5G, a new hardware design and camera improvements are a significant step away from the iPhone X generation of devices. This is nothing new. Apple did something similar in 2010 with the iPhone 4 and in 2014 when it released the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.There is one big difference with the iPhone 12

A gentleman once told me that sometimes a new perspective becomes way more important than having a new idea. While reviewing the iPhone 12, I revisited the thought and realised how Apples new flagship iPhone becomes a talking point without being radically different. More than the allure of Apple, I would say it is the sheer simplicity and clever implementation that makes the iPhone 12 a desirable

More than most years, there are a lot of things that are new in the iPhone 12. Apple has loaded in the usual upgrades like a faster processor and improved camera, but thats something weve come to expect.

(Pocket-lint) – Apple announced four new iPhones in 2020, with the iPhone 12 sitting pretty in the middle as the everyday model, replacing the iPhone 12 all looking to appeal to a wide audience.By trying to appeal to everyone though, has Apple created a phone that actually doesn’t work for anyone?

Of the four members of the new iPhone 12 family, the base iPhone 12 might be easy to overlook. It isn’t a radically different size, it doesn’t have the highest-end camera system, and it is perhaps the most iterative in terms of updates in the new portfolio. This isn’t a simple upgrade to the iPhone 11 though; launching at a much higher starting price, it creates a new tier in Apple’s lineup.
