It has been almost a year and a half since the iPhone 12 and 12 mini were launched on the market. However, both Apple and other stores continue to have them in their catalog. For this reason, we believe it is interesting to review the main reasons why buying one of these mobiles is a good idea for this 2022, but we also analyze in which cases we believe that it is not so recommended.
4 reasons why they are still TOP mobiles
The first thing we want to highlight is that these devices are, at this time, among the best iPhones in terms of value for money . And yes, they are still expensive mobiles for according to which pockets, but their price drops since the departure of the ’13’ is appreciable. And if on top of that we take into account that there are stores that make succulent offers for them, even more so.
The second reason why we can consider them to be trendy phones is because of the quality of their screens . At 5.4 and 6.1 inches respectively, the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 offer OLED panels with the ability to play multimedia content in the highest quality, with good brightness even for outdoors and a very natural balance of colors without us encountering each other. saturated scenes.
At the performance level, they are also a good choice, since the A14 chip they mount makes them still very powerful and have updates for years . If on top of that we have that it has 5G technology, they are more than capable mobiles to live a few more years without becoming obsolete.
The last reason we use in this practical summary is the cameras . Ok, they are not the best on the market, but they offer amazing results in all kinds of situations, especially its night mode and its improved ultra wide angle lens. If we add to that that they are still one of the best at making videos, we have a perfect combo left.
In these cases you should not buy it
There are less positive points in these iPhone 12 and one of them is the battery . Perhaps the 6.1-inch ’12’ does not stand out so negatively in this, being able to get left over at the end of the day. However, the ’12 mini’ has too short an autonomy even for very moderate uses, so you should always be accompanied by a powerbank or make sure you have a plug nearby.
We also do not advise its purchase if you are looking for premium features that are more associated with the ‘Pro’ models. See for example a telephoto lens for the camera, 120 Hz refresh rate or the spectacular cinema mode introduced in the iPhone 13 series. If you also want to take photos and videos in ProRAW and ProRes formats, you definitely won’t be able to with these.
Although if there is a reason that we want to highlight in this area, it is the one that implies that you have to make a significant outlay having a phone that works well. And it doesn’t matter if it’s a previous iPhone or an Android device, and if you’re currently happy with the terminal and consider buying an iPhone 12 a pure whim, it may not be worth making an economic effort. And don’t get me wrong, they are devices that you will enjoy, but in the end they will be an unnecessary purchase if what you already have does not give you problems.
