Apple iPhone 12

Technical specifications

The phone is fairly okay, although honestly, despite its specifications, it does not equal my previous phones, the Huawei p30 pro or samsung s8+. The iPhone 12 pro Max is my first iPhone, and I used to hate such devices. However, I have grown accustomed to it; everything functions efficiently as it should, and the photos are okay. After a year, the image quality of the front camera has deteriorated and is not the same as when it was new. Furthermore, without a rear case, the camera makes the phone look unattractive because it is so prominent; the phone rests on it, which is inconvenient when the phone lies on a table, for example, as it simply slides on the camera. The appearance is poor, but the system is okay.

I previously used Samsung flagship models, including the Note. The phones were satisfactory, but Android and its updates became less satisfactory over time. Apple strives to meet contemporary standards, and at the moment, iOS has made a positive impression on me. I recommend it if the price is not a deterrent or if there are good promotions. Overall, it is satisfactory; it is compatible even with other systems. It is currently a positive experience. I recommend it.

I have owned the phone since May 2022. Despite negative opinions circulating online about smartphones breaking from falling onto a carpet, I refute these theories here. Unless I am simply lucky :) The phone operates at full capacity, can be addictive, and has everything one needs. The camera takes better photos than any Canon. Truly. Additionally, it has fallen several times and nothing has happened so far. It survived a fall from a ping-pong table; of course, it was in a protective case and had a screen protector. It only has a small scratch on the rear casing, but it works, and the condition is almost perfect as the phone is always well-maintained. Regarding iPhones, it is a reliable brand of phones that do not freeze, even with a million applications. Unlike Android, which becomes slow after downloading just a few applications. A perfect example confirming this thesis is my father, who has probably every possible application from the App Store; he has an iPhone 13 (ironically), yet it operates reliably and has never frozen. He uses it every day and everything runs perfectly. A great advantage of every iPhone is that it has the so-called "cloud," or iCloud, where one can make backups and store data securely. In case of changing phones to an iPhone or Android, you can easily download all your data from the previous phone. Even if you previously had an Android and are switching to an iPhone, you can also download your data without any problems, one to one. That is all in my very extensive review. Perhaps it will be useful to someone :)

Regarding this phone, I previously had an XS and switched to the iPhone 12, and in my opinion, the old XS was better. On the 12, the OLX app lagged quite often, the fluidity of Chrome was also poor, the frames scratched terribly, and the phone feels light as a toy. The camera was not impressive; the camera in the XS seemed better to me. However, I went back to using the Huawei P30 Pro, which works much better than these iPhones. I find it amusing when people claim that iPhones are perfect and that anyone who has owned one knows how great they are; that is total nonsense. In my opinion, Android is more functional; this is my personal view. Apple intentionally does everything to force additional payments for accessories and applications, which is why I am selling this low-quality device.

I have been using the phone for 3 years and it will still serve me. I have no problems with it, although for such a price the quality of the components is not top-tier.
What is on the negative side:
- the screen could be better and brighter, in the sun it is sometimes difficult to see anything
- the battery is not bad, but it is not possible to use it for two days
- photos are good, but not perfect
- it happens that the number blocking does not work - I have the number blocked and it still bothers me

I rarely change phones, so I hope this one will serve me for 5 years or longer - it appears that it will.
Whether the next purchase will also be an iPhone, I do not know, but I will certainly look closely at what Android companies offer.

I switched to an iPhone 12 from a Samsung S20FE. The phone served me for a very short time due to the rather weak battery. I gave it to my husband and he is satisfied; with his usage, it lasts several times longer than it did for me. Overall, this phone is beautiful, functions well, and is likable. Currently, I am using a 13 Pro and I am satisfied, I have simply learned to have a charger or a power bank at hand. The Samsung S20FE serves as my second phone every day, but I love iPhones.

Unfortunately, I have had a bad experience with the iPhone 12. Every 4-5 months, the microphone and speaker supposedly became dirty, which resulted in me hearing callers poorly. After two years and one month, the motherboard failed and the iPhone is now unusable, as replacing the board costs over 2,000 PLN. It is a very low-quality product compared to Samsung.

I have been using it for a year and no phone has disappointed me as much as the iPhone. It is simply a well-advertised product of poor quality. Even the s21fe is better.

iPhone? Or an inferior device with cables? I have 3 phones and this is the worst one, I advise against the purchase. I feel a strong sense of repulsion toward it.

I switched from the Poco X3 and I will say this much: the iPhone is extremely poor; with my usage, the battery lasts half a day. Poco X3 easily 2 days.
