I’ve spent a week with the brand-new iPhone 12, and I have come to the conclusion that it’s the no-compromises iPhone for the masses. Apple has created the total package: a great camera, 5G, a design that is simultaneously timeless and a throwback and a battery that lasts all day.   

Let’s get the boring technical jargon out of the way first. The iPhone 12 comes with Apple’s new A14 Bionic SoC, which happens to be the first 5 nanometer processing chip in a mobile device. In simpler terms, it’s a smaller chip that allows for more transistors and it’s more power efficient. It also has Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, MagSafe, Apple’s U1 chip and 5G. (more on 5G below) 

This is by far my absolute favorite iPhone design to date. It’s hard edges make the phone feel secure in your hand, which is a definite must with glass on the front and back. It’s also perfectly weighted. The main reason I upgraded from the iPhone 11 Pro Max was because of just how dense the phone was.
