Lede, buried. The headline should read: no reason to upgrade unless you really, REALLY want 5G.

Just found out that the iPhone 12 virtually has very little throttling despite the phone getting hot.
This is a video from reliable Youtuber Gary Sims (Gary Explains) with his custom Speed Test G. This benchmark cannot be cheated like Antutu and Geekbench.
iPhone 11 Pro Max tested by him last year had thermal throttling (performance dips by 15%).
If the frame rates of a certain game drops, may as well be due to the poor optimisation (which was the case in iOS 14.1), but be mindful that the battery capacity drops very quickly.

Did not updated my iphone only coz of face ID.
It's so annoying to enter password or slide the mask just to unlock the phone.
The next iphone SE should come in 2021 with indisplay fingerprint scanner.
Othewise till the wuha.n virus is there Can't buy an iphone.

Is it perhaps so that you can talk a load of smack regardless of whatever the answers is?

Shui8, 21 Nov 2020Nope. IMX 686 are Quad Bayer 64mp sensor at 1/1.7" siz... moreAll the iPhone 12 series except the pro Max using last year's sensors (IMX 503)
IPhone 12 pro Max using IMX 603 according to Kimovil.
This sensor is far weaker in quality than the 1/1.7" Sony IMX 555 on Galaxy S20 series and
the Xperia 5 II.
It's probably similar in quality to 1/1.7" GW sensors from Samsung.

MrHong, 21 Nov 2020The one in the iPhone 11 is Sony IMX686, this was disclosed... moreNope. IMX 686 are Quad Bayer 64mp sensor at 1/1.7" size.
All iphone 11 & 12 (except 12 Pro Max) use a small 1/2.55" sensors.
Judging by 12mp at 1.7um pixel size on 12 Pro Max, it is likely a 1/1.8" sensor size. The IMX series remains a mystery.
