Yes iPhone 12 is Real . I feel like we've all seen an iPhone before at this point. This is a pretty familiar iPhone. We've seen the rounded corners and the Notch and the lightning Port but there are a couple key changes this year that are a first in the iPhone. So I've been using this iPhone 12 for a bit since my Impressions video and My favourite iPhone ever mostly because of this design, but if you're considering getting one there's some stuff. It is so flat. It's not the typical almost flat where the screen is flat right up to the edges and then it curves over the very edge and they call it like 2.5 D. No, this is flat flat like the phone happens to be a little bit thinner and a little bit lighter than last year, but I'm not as concerned with that. But the square sides are actually the most efficient way to pack in those internals into the phone as efficiently as possible and I happen to think it looks and
Feels super premium and modern on top of all that now this kind of red but also kind of salmon sometimes product Red version after seeing person. I'd probably not go for this I go for either the blue or the black but yeah, those aluminum rails are everything there more grip herbal, maybe a little less comfortable at first but hey, the buttons are cliquey. The power button is a little bit bigger. It's still ip68 water. Is this then you've got your 5G antenna cutout on the right hand side and Some regions which trust me I'll get way into that in a second. And yeah, I just like holding this phone now, if you put a case on it, I guess a lot of that doesn't matter as much you'll notice that less obviously but still even some cases are flattening out their dimensions for the iPhone 12. So that again will make it easier to grip harder to drop and speaking of dropping all these new iPhones come with on the front something new called ceramic shield, and this is basically this specialty hardened kind of glass with
Have a USBC charging brick. But yeah, just Slaps on the back of the phone. You line it up with the magnets. You kind of get used to wear. It places right over the Apple logo, and that's all good. This charges at 15 watts while every other wireless charger on the iPhone still charges at seven-and-a-half watts and a couple of our FAQ is on this number one. Yes, it is still QI charging so you can still charge the iPhone 12 with other wireless chargers and you can charge other phones with the magsafe puck if you're into that number to the durability concern with magsafe leaving marks on the iPhone I have
That on mine too, but I don't think it'll turn out to be a long-term problem. It just seems to wipe off every time like you might remember how the home pod was leaving these little white stain rings on certain wood tables, which is kind of understandable because not every table is the same but I feel like I guess I hope apples probably tested this like a hundred thousand times and probably determine that it's not an issue about the way they made this so should be okay and the number three was get a lot of questions about Out this yes, you can magsafe charge through most non magsafe cases as long as they're thin enough and even that magnet will actually still work through something cases. So I don't really have any non magsafe cases here to test but of course Channel sponsor dbrand sent over a grip case and I can confirm it's thin enough to work just fine with a magsafe charger kinda like it is a magsafe charger. And yes all the other benefits of a case grip Enos protection. They all still apply. So since I know most people end up looking for a good one,
I'll leave a link to this case below now at the beginning of this magsafe bit. I said something I said it was optional which it is for now, but I feel like we can all sort of see where this is going, which is Apple is slowly moving towards eventually making a port 'less iPhone which I think that's a whole separate videos worth of rant. But bottom line is their solution to wirelessly conveniently charging a phone that doesn't have a port is going to be magsafe.
This thing right here. So yeah, it's not amazing. But I guess it's fine a couple of accessories they've made for it so far not bad. There's a regular case, of course, so you can continue to stack things through there's a kind of weird looking clear version of the case. For some reason there's a wallet that I mentioned that doesn't have very strong magnets. But if you think about it, it's not so peculiar that the one accessory they chose to make outside of the case is a wallet like let me know if there's any flaw in this this series of logical
Great. So Apple wants to get rid of the port on the iPhone and go totally wireless charging for everything at a certain point maybe next year whatever right? So they already see ahead of time this particular headline, which is people who use wallet cases can't Wireless charge their iPhone so they can't charge the iPhone at all. So Apple needs to invent a way for people who use wallet cases to continue to charge their phone. So they invent an accessory which is a removable wallet bit. So You can charge the phone and when you don't you to charge it, you can put the wallet back on that seems to check out. Like I said, it's a whole thing. But today optional battery life on these phones has actually been pretty good but not noticeably better than last year at all. Matter of fact, it's actually a slightly larger higher res display and actually a smaller physical battery. So it's pretty impressive that the phone still does. Okay, you can kill it in a day with 6 hours of screen on time or just a lot of heavy use
But this isn't new with the standard size iPhone. If you want a real battery champ, you can go for the bigger phone the actual best new piece of the iPhone 12 though is definitely the new display. It goes from being that 720p LCD with bigger bezels that was really easy to make fun of to this much better and even slightly bigger 6.1 inch 1080p OLED.
Q-Will iPhone 12 have 120hz?
A- No
It's like night and day. It's basically on par with the pro which is actually pretty surprising to me just a slightly lower Peak brightness. Now it's 60 hertz again. And while that's kind of a missing feature at this point on an $800 phone in 2020. I was actually kind of expecting that I was just thinking the pros would get a hundred twenty Hertz this plays this year, but obviously none of them did which is a bummer but let's be honest.
Q-Does Apple have a 5g iPhone?
They probably saw that as a battery saving measure since this phone did also just get 5G. So let's talk about 5G kind of love and hate 5G right now.
Q-Is the iPhone 12 5g?
A- yes
Apple really like the message that 5G just got real because now that all the new iPhones have 5 G built-in there's about to be millions and millions and millions more people walking around with 5G capable phones and a few very short months and when that happens that tends to accelerate development that sort of makes it real which I get it but also the carrier's would very very much like you to upgrade to their 5G.
20 has its ups and it's Downs like this iPhone 12. I'm using here has Verizon 5G which is surprisingly actually in my area. It's not millimeter wave. It's not Ultra wideband, but it can still give me roughly 20% faster download and upload speeds but 5G radios are also pretty power-hungry. And the more time you spend on 5G the more battery you bleed through now Apple thought a lot about this, of course, so their solution and you might have caught it on stage during the announcement is called smart data mode. And basically it tries to only use five G when you actually need it to save battery. So when you're in a 4G area, you're on 4G speeds. Everything works with LTE. No problem. You're good. It'll feel normal when you're in a 5 G area and you're doing a lot of bandwidth intensive stuff, you're downloading a bunch of videos and music your face timing and Chris PhD you're doing a lot of that high bandwidth stuff that's going to use 5 G and that's going to improve that experience a lot. But if you are in
5G area but not really doing anything that benefits from 5G then your phone will actually switch off and stick with 4G and as The Verge reported. It'll actually still show you the 5 G indicator in the corner, but you'll get 4G speeds which will probably find but that also explains this sort of weird Speedtest results. Oh look my take is I get it. The best Technologies are supposed to be invisible like you shouldn't even notice. They work you go to download something while walking around you're in a fight. G area boom 5G turns on your downloads go super quick and that turns off to save battery kind of like promotion on the iPad Pro it goes up to 120 hertz when you're scrolling and playing games and actually using it. But when you're not you're just sitting on the home screen or watching a video it will go down to 24 Hertz to save battery. So it's sort of not there when you don't need it. It's there when it helps you. It's just weird that the whole messaging has been in your face 5 G 5G
trying new iPhone equals new best camera ever in an iPhone. Right? Well sure iPhone twelves got a slightly updated dual camera system with a standard and an ultra-wide the standard has a slightly wider aperture at F 1.6 instead of f 1 Point 8, and to be honest. It's not really much of a difference in the camera. Like it's just not the same as the pixel. They're not really doing anything too drastic if it ain't broke don't fix it really the hardware improvements. It's are almost impossible to notice in regular photos, but they will get you an improvement in like the edge cases the most difficult photo and video taking scenarios. So like hand held in low light that'll be better night mode will be better auto focus on fast-moving subjects super high dynamic range shots, like shooting straight into the sun. Thanks to Smart HDR 3 stuff like that. Other than that, it still looks like iPhone photos which is to say some of the absolute best and most Consistent crisp photos on any smartphone so that's not a letdown but iPhone video though.
Firmly in a league of its own at firmly like every time I test a new iPhone camera, it's just the video camera is so much better and people care a lot about video that takes a lot of videos. So you'd want to know yeah, the iPhone takes great video. That's despite not shooting 8K and not having a huge new sensor or anything crazy like that. It's just so fine-tuned and so reliable, but I want to save my full analysis of that for the video about the pros because I think Pros care even more about video stuff and there's potentially well there's even
Hardware of the sensors in the 12th Promax so that could be interesting to see my one knock is it does seem like there's more flaring in low-light video like just a ton of little orbs for every little Point light source, but it's still very usable though. Now you might have heard about Dolby Vision HDR, these new iPhones are the first cameras the only cameras in the World to shoot 10 bit High dynamic range Dolby Vision 4K video and that's awesome. HDR video is awesome higher brighter brights. Deeper Shadows overall better images even better perceived quality. I love HDR but here's the thing Dolby vision is just one HDR standard or format by Dolby and there are other HDR standards that have been out you might heard of HDR 10 is one of them and that some other smartphones that actually started enabling you to shoot you might have a smartphone in your pocket right now that is already capable of shooting HDR 10 video, but the issue with new formats is always compatibility.
Some TVs are HDR 10 certified some aren't some displays are Dolby Vision certified some aren't so you can look at the display the video you take on the iPhone and it's Dolby Vision certified and it looks amazing. And if you send this video to another iPhone 12, it'll look amazing on that iPhone. But as soon as you upload it to Twitter or Instagram or Tick-Tock or kind of anything at this point even YouTube. It doesn't show up as that hdr on most. Both screens it's back to SDR. But the big deal here again is kind of like 5G because there's about to be so many iPhone 12s in the world. There's about to be millions of new devices and new people out there shooting tons of HDR video and looking to share it and so now there's more incentive for places and and apps like Twitter and Instagram and Tick-Tock to support HDR. So maybe the tagline should have been HDR just got real.
The rest of the iPhone is pretty familiar and that's a good thing for most people iOS 14. We've all seen it by now. It's familiar, even though there is a couple bugs and apps that will probably get updated pretty soon face ID. It's completely unchanged even performance is familiar since there's nothing super new like high refresh rate.
Q-How much RAM will the iPhone 12 have?
There is the new A14 bionic inside which is one of the very first five nanometer chips in any device, which is a more powerful CPU and GPU and is paired with four gigs of RAM and Everything's great. But that's mainly for Speed that you're going to notice later down the road when the phone is two three four years old and hopefully still feeling really fast, but fundamentally, there isn't really that much of a difference in these iPhones and the performance you get this year versus what last year didn't already do just a little bit faster. But yeah, even at a somewhat premium 830 bucks. That's the actual price Apple's website shows carrier pricing at first, so it's a little misleading but even at that price
Yeah, this phone with best-in-class cameras, best-in-class performance much better screen is Pretty damn good. It's this is the one to get for most people. There's a too long didn't watch version. For those of you lazy people that I know just went down to the chapters and Skip to this. It's a great phone the best new parts of it are definitely the display which was a huge knock up from last year knock up. Why do I say like that but it's plays better battery lasts about the same cameras are a little bit better build quality and design are also an awesome Improvement and magsafe. It's optional for now, but might as well start getting used to it and the worst part is the price is a little higher .
