Apple iPhone 12 vs Apple iPhone XS Max

The first iPhone with 5G connectivity, the start of a new era. The iPhone 12 has excellent build quality in 2023, it improves upon the 11's rounded edges and implemented a more aesthetically pleasing look, flat edges. It feels very premium and is even more durable than the iPhone 11, it has the same IP68 water and dust resistance. Oh, and it has ceramic shield now. The display is much improved over the 11, it now has OLED and a better resolution. Other than that, the display is fairly the same, with good color accuracy and brightness. Battery life is better than the 11, so expect around 5-6 hours of screen-on-time with the 12, it also has the more efficient A14 Bionic chipset. This phones cameras are also improved, it has even more detailed shots in daylight and at night-time. It has Dolby Vision for video recording, blowing most Android mid-rangers out of the water in the video-department. Performance is nearly perfect with the A14 Bionic chipset. It's close to the A15 Bionic chipset found in the iPhone 13-series and base iPhone 14 models. It has top-notch gaming performance, able to run most games at higher settings.

As you would expect from an Apple product, the iPhone 12 is beautifully crafted, meticulously engineered, and relentlessly efficient. This is the phone Apple designs for the typical phone user. As such, it does everything well and excels at a few things. Software integration is seamless. No phone matches the iPhone for efficient software use. While people will ding the phones for their RAM, the truth is, iPhones simply do not require the RAM other phones do. This phone will run as much as you want to throw at it and never falter. If you are looking for social media, browsing, email, messaging, photography, and media consumption, the iPhone is above average in every one of those areas. What's more, you can rest assured Apple will support the phone for years and it will be a long time before the phone feels the least "outdated". The only issues I've found with the phone? The battery is only above average. If you press the phone with video consumption, heavy gameplay, or heavy social media consumption, you will need a top off before the end of the day. Also, its about time iMessage was able to text non iPhones on wifi. There is simply no good reason Apple doesn't do this, and it would be very useful in low service areas where users may be completely dependent on wifi. Besides that, when compared to other phones, as a daily driver from 2020, the iPhone simply has no peers. As I said, it does everything well!

I have had this phone for 2 months, it is a value for its money, this is my first iPhone, I had been using redmi devices in the past. it took a while to get used to the interface, but the device performs very well, Its battery performance is very good I can get up to 7 hours of battery life on normal usage, and it charges pretty quickly from 0 to 80 percent even though from 80 to 100 it does take a long time. its dual-camera setup is top tier, it out beats mobile phones in its price range.
