28 October 2020
Ceramic Shield is harder to break during a fall, not more scratch resistant.

Anonymous, 28 Oct 2020You should look at iOS lovers all over YouTube now. Their ... more"exposed"? LoL.

Tell me 1 person who "exposed" iPhone 12's supposed "slow" performance.
All the trending speed tests comparisons show that iPhones beat androids most of the time during app openings.

Can you name a single source that verifies your claim that iPhones are throttling badly?

    AnonD-804996, 28 Oct 2020But raging fAndroids don't understand physics and they... moreIt's funny when mostly iphone users dont make any difference on what model of the phone they have or shown for know physics better ? Android user is probably smarter and more skeptical on what they buy and do more research and dont just trust the brands that have magical names for everything

      SizN80, 28 Oct 2020Lol,all they know is to come to Apple related topics becaus... moreApple news get the most comments cause there is nothing about the news in comments where one side is fighting with the other and thats about it. Never mind that apple fans are in droid news comments trolling the same way.

      I dont hate iphone. It's not made for me. I just read the comments and find it funny how apple fans like to troll about copy this and that in android comments while apple does the copying it's self too but then the apple fans defend it like apple dont copy. Or defend apple for removing accessories while rise the price for there product anyways and thats some how justified

        Only thing what other phones should copy from this 12 is that screen in placed in the frame so it wont break that easy like they usually do.
        And well if you have a hard frame then none of the phones will bend anyways..

        For the ceramic glass if it is heat resistant then it hold the heat inside the phone too so cooling can be a problem for this phone.

        I heard about the speakers that making calls were a bit bad for the iphone 12 from my local tech radio show where one already had the phone and find it annoying that could not listen the sounds when holding the phone on your ear in a city outdoors there is noisy environment. But well i dont know much for it and have not looked up any videos about the issue or anything related to iphones in other source then this site.

          i think the more you talk the fool you saw to other,
          Go for what you love and leave what you don't want.
          nobody is forcing and subdue you.
          I felt great with what i have.

            There is a clear difference between I-ceramic and real ceramic, between I-sapphire and real sapphire. With such a high price, that price should include life insurance costs. Why? Because the design of Iphone 12 familly can injure someone's hand. *lol.

              He did a drop test with the Iphone X (iirc) that was advertised as having a tougher glass, i think it survived actually, will this phone survive the classic youtubers drop test? Scratch test is clear at this point (MKBHD already scratched his without even triying), drop test next.

                AnonD-804996, 28 Oct 2020But raging fAndroids don't understand physics and they... moreLol,all they know is to come to Apple related topics because nobody cares about their crapdroids anyways,maybe we should start donating our old iPhones to these android users who come to Apple topics to rage lol,it seems they are the biggest Apple fans but just in the closet about it,some of them even have Apple or iOS in their names,that’s how Apple obsessed they are :’D

                Anyway the results of this test were great,good to see the ceramic shield is doing its job,and I always love that Apple use Stainless Steel, it’s the reason why Apple phones feel so premium while competitors mostly feel cheap hence competitor flagships don’t sell :)

                  Is the scratch resistance that bad?

                  Are we going to hear Cook telling us that you aren't scratching it right or is he going to launch Apple scratch guard on top of Ceramic shield at 99$ only?

                    I was waiting for this! As much as you iOS guys like to complain about Android users hassling and griefing you, you can be absolutely pig-ignorant often.

                    As was a comment I made on here yesterday; I work in a smartphone retailer and we've had our iPhone 12 devices in for nearly a week now. These were placed our our desks, front to back (Camera unit touching screen of the unit behind) and it's absolutely shredded the display on our iPhones, which is something that shouldn't happen. I posted this to let potential buyers know and I was immediately met with a response saying 'I think you're lying'. When I offered to send evidence, he declined.

                    Apple make some good smartphones, but they're also first and foremost, a marketing machine - from liquid retina displays to bionic chips to now Ceramic Shield glass, everything they create has a moniker attached to it to make it sound different and unique, and it simply isn't. I've called out Gorilla Glass Invictus for the same thing - it's glass.

                      Sanjay, 28 Oct 2020The burn test results are awesome....better than any other ... moreThat's great for the people who burn their displays a couple of times a day, every day. And the rest of us - we don't give a damn about that pointless test.

                          Anonymous, 28 Oct 2020Yup iphone 12 have a lot problem. Theres also report of ... moreYou should look at iOS lovers all over YouTube now.
                          Their A14 GeekBench scam is exposed.
                          The chip throttles badly and is losing in speed tests as well.
                          Not to forget the total battery hog that is 5g. So much for the 5g marketing.

                          Brand boys too busy defending it by saying, apps aren't optimized for A14 yet.
                          On one end, they say, apps and games are better optimized for iOS.
                          When the test doesn't go their way, they say it isn't optimized for A14 chip.
                          I am wondering how badly they'll cry when Snapdragon 875 devices launch and annihilate iPhone in real world performance 2 months later.
