Review on Apple IPhone 12 64GB Black by Taufik Opekg ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product did not disappoint, the quality pleases.

This is just one person's honest perspective after switching from a Xiaomi to an iPhone. Very few high-quality mobile phone models were released that year (2022), and the ones that were were often met with controversy—including this iPhone. The iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, the Pixel 5, and other phones from companies like Oneplus, Samsung, and Xiaomi were all on the table. The screen quality of the eleventh iPhone was not satisfactory, the mini proved to be too small for watching films, and the fifth pixel, at the time of purchasing the iPhone, cost 98 thousand dollars, and this was with a doubtful warranty and not the top filling. The phone has met my needs thus far, and we shall observe its continued performance.

Pros
  • What I appreciate most is the really high-definition OLED display. When compared to the 11th generation (whose resolution falls short of full HD), the 12th generation's screen was the deciding factor in my decision to upgrade to the new iPhone. I was skeptical at first, worried that the PWM in the OLED matrices would cause damage to my eyes, especially since I use the phone mostly at night with the brightness turned down to its lowest setting. However, I've found that my eyes don't tire out at all, at least mine don't, despite the fact that I was sure that sensitive to flicker. - Sound. The phone's built-in speakers produced a level of volume that just floored me. I didn't think much of the phone's speakers until I turned on some music without my headphones by accident and found myself pleasantly surprised by the rich, full sound and clear separation of instruments (if you can get past the occasional thuds). My phone's audio quality has improved so substantially that I find myself listening to films and music on it far more regularly. Factors of shape. Because of this, and because I've been waiting a long time for the return of rectangular faces, the iPhone has shrunk a little while maintaining the same screen size as the iPhone 11. Ceramic Armor. I didn't actually test it, but after seeing the new screen in a gazillion crash videos, I was impressed by its durability, especially considering my own spherical shape (the last phone dropped several times in the very first days after buying the phone). Now, let's just hope the results are accurate. Quick turnaround times and a stress-free work environment. The new processor has no hiccups or freezes, and the well-crafted casing makes using the phone feel like a game. This is charged via a magnetic field. I haven't yet invested in a magician's safe, but they seem like they'd come in handy. What's more, modern smartphones come with powerful magnets, so you can prop yours up against the refrigerator next to your Hong Kong magnets.
Cons
  • So, first and foremost, the negatives: - Cost; I purchased the 128GB model for 78k plus a 20w power adaptor for a total of 1900. No power cord or earbuds included. As someone who is purchasing an iPhone for the first time, I find this particularly insulting. The cameras are only adequate, rather than spectacular. We tested the 12th iPhone's night mode to the 11th, and found no major differences; the photos are only a touch brighter and benefit from a minor color corrector. Since I switched from Xiaomi, which retained some beauty filter functions even when they were disabled in software, the front-facing camera is particularly miffed. Once again, I look like a freak in my photos. Contrarily, I've found that I use the front-facing camera a lot less frequently. Ceramic Armor. As I mentioned in the positives section, the new form factor makes it much simpler to adhere protective glass, but the trade-off is that the screen is easily damaged. - At times, the phone lags by about 80k. Only today did a glitch cause video playback to cease across all programs. Unfortunately, the reset buttons for iPhones have not yet been shipped, which was a choice I find incredibly foolish given that I had to reboot. I'm crossing my fingers that ates is the answer. Replace Type C with lightning. The cheapest devices I own all have type C ports, but here it's still the old-fashioned lightning. Nevertheless, this will be moot with the next generation of phones, since Apple is actively preparing us for the elimination of the charging connector, leaving only the magic safe. The surface of the screen is plasticky and the oleophobic coating is simply the worst it could be, bringing to mind the screens of the ancient Nokia 5800. The cheap screen protector I used on my phone was superior in terms of oleophobic coating. In other words, there is no always-on mode currently in place, but it is quite possible to build such a mode. - As an android convert, I've noticed a few flaws in the shell that make it appear completely useless (automatic inclusion of Wi-Fi, the requirement of payment data to install applications)
