iPhone 12 first impressions: My first 48 hours with Apple’s flagship phone

Ever since the iPhone 12 hit retail stores, I have been bombarded with messages from friends and cousins asking me about my take on Apple’s new flagship. I got calls from friends who had been using iPhone 5s but are now looking to upgrade to a new iPhone. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t surprised by this.

My conversations with close ones revealed that they want a familiar-looking iPhone but expect it to have a bigger screen and better cameras and faster performance. I feel the iPhone 12 is closer to what consumers want in their next iPhone, like flat edges that immediately reminds them of the iPhone 4s/5s era, an improved screen, dual cameras that are better at taking low-light shots and fast performance.
