I was a LG fan till they stop making phones because they were always ahead by at least 2-3 years of the current thec. and the super quality of the phones, i had my LG 3 for 8 years and it had already been out for 2 years when i bought it plus it was still up to date on almost everything after 8 years of my purcharsing that one but the 3G network was going to be over soon so... I tried Samsung it was the latest flagship model and i hated it so much but kept it a wild cause i paid a high price for it(p.s. i'm from Canada by the way and pardon my english writting i'm french so...) so when i got fed up i decided to sell it before it would not be worth anything no more because Samsung put a sh.t load of new phone every year so the price of Samsung go down faster than a sled on ice :). so when i started to look for a new phone i checked for a Canadian phone first but...we don't make them anymore at least not when i was searching in 2023 and when i can't buy Canadian( like everyone we always want to by from the country we live in firts my first next choice is U.S. 99.1% of the time because Canada and U.S.in my opinion and my friends opinions are the best quality in almost everything and both countries stand by their garanties so i went for iphone even if they are super expensive here in Canada especialy the latest models. So i made my research and went with my budget at that time (2023) and bought the iphone 12 and i love it!!!!! and ios doesen't stop making updates after 2 years or less like android have been doing for several years now so to finish i want to say that i don't think i will ever buy another brand as long as the quality stays for as long that they make them i am very satisfied with my iphone.

    GustoKweku, 23 Feb 2024I was on iPhone 6s Plus for a really long period. February ... moreiPhone 12 is a good choice in 2024. There is a lot of iOS updates ahead.

      I was on iPhone 6s Plus for a really long period. February 1, 2024 I upgraded to iPhone 12 128gb. This is after reading a lot of reviews about the model considering its age. I’m amazed at how fast this phone is. I still have a ton of storage including paid iCloud and I’m loving it! What is more interesting is i got mine with 100 BH hence the phone can last me all day long both browsing, gaming and watching movies. I don’t intend keeping it for too long though. I plan on upgrading to iPhone 13 Pro real soon. The only irritating aspect of the phone is the alert 🚨 that pops up when having the phone too close to the face over a short period of time. Kudos to Apple for making bringing back the form factor of the 5s. It feels like a premium product without the case.

            Ramana Murthy, 14 May 2022Detailed review, thanks. It will help me decide.Much helpful. Lack of customization, as mentioned in the review, is a real deal breaker for me. Thanks.

              Detailed review, thanks. It will help me decide.

                I am using X60 and iphone 12. Anyday x60 is better and cost only half of iphone...
                Few things you can appreciate on iphone is its build, privacy and security features, video etc...
                Also photo and video look normal and true to life in iphone. You can actually do a lot on post.
                But when you click and compare side by side x60 pics look great. Also macro is another level in x60.

                X70 pro + is another level. So better spend money on such phones than iphone. But if you are in apple eco system, iphone make sense.
