    [deleted post]I also don't buy Chinese phones. Maybe except Huawei and probably Oppo. Just stick to Samsung.

      Just some opinions based on GsmA's review (and from other users/reviews)...

      Very good phone overall, but definitely not the best phone out there.

      It's impressive how Apple makes the phone lightweight while making it one of the most rugged phones on the market, with 6m water depth resistance. Camera is quite good, iOS has come a long way, FaceID is still the market-leader.

      What hurts is the battery life of course. The performance is decent. It's the fastest in terms of system performance, but not sustained performance. Watch out for thermal throttling thanks to weak cooling, small build, and thick chassis (avoid iPhone 12 mini for heavy gaming at all costs). I assume sustained performance is only equal to Kirin 9000 and SD865+, so behind (most) SD875 phones. The notch is still huge too.

      I will definitely try the iPhone out in the store, but I don't think I'll buy the regular 12 after all. Looking forward to 12 Pro Max.

        Anonymous, 29 Oct 2020Apple Iphone 12 is worse than Huawei Mate 40 Pro according ... moreUhm Sir, P40 lineup has 3 phones. You shared the Pro. Straight P40 has lower score than iPhone 12.

              Based on your words and on your nick...you are all in for what you get for your buck
              iPhone remains the best overall product into a very big ecosystem like ios-macOS-watchOS

                I don't understand what the problem is with chargers. I hope they enforce that NOTHING can be bundled.

                Do I RELLY need 10 chargers and 10 earbuds lying around? I do not. Nobody does. Buy them separately if you do.

                  WHen you make the best overall product....you will sell big for another year

                    nice words in the end:

                    ”Many Android smartphones will easily solve most of these for you, but if you are after an iPhone, well,... you are after an iPhone”.

                      I thought about buying the iphone 12 mini, but man coming from a 90hz phone to a 60hz phone will be tough. Plus it makes me how apple goes on about the planet and all that stuff but still uses their own power adapter, amagian all the people switching to apple and finding out that all of their cables are useless.

                        So it seems magsafe chargers are not very efficient.

                          [deleted post]Why not?

                            [deleted post]Because anyone who's complaining about iPhone must be Chinese phone owners rite? Even though his username clearly says "Pixel 4a"? LoGiC!!!!111!11!!!!

                              So basically: iPhone 11 Pro without a telephoto but with night mode for the UWA camera. You get better water resistance and MagSafe, but the performance gain is so incremental that I can confidently say you'd be better off buying the previous gen. iPhones if you want to save your money.

                              Camera is comparable to iPhone 11 Pro (which is a good thing) but clarity boost and sharpening are even more excessive this time around, and oh boy they really need to upgrade the sensor as it's clearly not ageing well. You get their usual flare/ghosting prone lens like you have been seeing on the past 4 gens of iPhone cameras too, and frankly speaking its quality sucks.

                              Now waiting for iPhone 12 Pro/Max review..

                                There is no ceramic sheild on the back

                                  Very bad battery drain for this expensive phone
