Is the iPhone 12 still worth buying?

Yes, if you want a compact iPhone with a good OLED screen and cameras. Newer models have longer battery life and faster chips, so compare if battery matters most.

How does it compare with the iPhone 12 Pro?

The 12 Pro adds a telephoto lens, LiDAR and a stainless steel frame. The 12 has the same A14 chip and screen size, so it suits buyers who don't need the extra camera.

Does it come with a charger?

No. The box has the phone and a USB-C to Lightning cable only. You need a USB-C power adapter or a MagSafe charger separately.

Is it unlocked for any carrier?

This version is carrier unlocked, so it works with most major carriers. Check that your carrier supports the phone's bands before buying.

Does it support MagSafe?

Yes. It has built-in magnets for MagSafe cases, wallets and wireless chargers.

How is the battery life?

It lasts a full day for light to moderate use. Heavy video or 5G use drains it faster, and battery health drops with age on used units.

Our take on the Apple iPhone 12 - Carrier Unlocked - 128GB Green

The iPhone 12 is Apple's 2020 flagship with a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen, the A14 Bionic chip and 5G. It brought the flat-edge design, Ceramic Shield glass and MagSafe wireless charging. It is a solid pick for iPhone users who want a compact, fast phone with strong cameras, though its battery is smaller than the iPhone 12 Pro Max and newer models last longer. Owners praise the screen and cameras; some complain about battery life and the lack of a charger in the box.
