Apple iPhone 12 review: Rock solid premium mobile

The new iPhone 12 succeeds Apple’s 2019-series standard iPhone 11 model, which happens to be the company’s best selling phone since launch. Even in the first half of 2020 (Jan-June), Apple was able to sell more than 37.9 million units around the world including India.

On paper, it has a better display, new design language and importantly a powerful A14 Bionic chipset over the prolific predecessor iPhone 11. I have been using the former for a little over a week and here are my thoughts on the latest iPhone 12.

Design, build quality and display:

Apple’s iPhone 12 like the other three variants– iPhone 12 mini, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max, flaunts a flat edge design and can stand on its own on a smooth surface. It is similar to the iPhone 4 ( 4s, 5 and 5S), but more refined in terms of visual aesthetics.
