My "old" iPhone 12 from 2020 does everything I need it to do so not upgrading yet. The only issue (which I have experienced on all my previous iPhones) is the battery, sometimes I need to charge it 3 to 4 times a day now if I make a couple of phone calls or FaceTime calls or watch a few videos on RUclips, so I have to always carry a power bank now. But I do not think there is enough of a performance difference to make the upgrade yet.
I'd recommend taking your iPhone into the Apple store and have them replace your battery. The cost is somewhere between $79-$99 (parts and labor) and honestly its well worth it. I replaced my iPhone 6s battery twice and was able to keep it for over 5 years.
Personally im using a iphone 15 and pixel 8 for testing and the iphone 15 is very similar to the previous generations even the iPhone 11 series not biggest upgrade seen
I actually hate the Dynamic Island, feels intrusive as it’s deeper into the screen compared to the 12/13. Plus why part a $600/700 more for an app opening 1 second faster? The camera is also not all that different honestly, you’ll need to nitpick. I do think the 15 pro is a worthwhile upgrade, but that dynamic island though 🙄
I don’t know anybody that has an iPhone without a case. So all these comparisons in terms of the glass on the back, the curve on the sides, the frosted look is all pretty much irrelevant.
@@LavoSavoI have a 12 and I love it it’s as fast as you need it to be, I’m just gonna replace the battery once it gets to 75% and rock it till I don’t gent more updates, so in 3 years
@@LavoSavoI’ve a 12 pro and 13 pro and to be fair the only difference I notice is the screen, the battery life on the 13 pro is slightly better but it’s also heavier
@@santiagooarg6990 yeah decided to upgrade from my 8+ to the 15 I was thinking of getting the 12 but it’s not going to be getting newer iOS versions so might as well upgrade to the newer to last longer
I dropped a 35 lb weight on mine at the gym and assumed it would be toast. But with only a screen protector added (no case) it survived with just some minor cracks on the back of the phone. Things built like a tank! 🦍
Why my iPhone 12 has an flat black paint over my camera what you call it and above my flashlight dot is blacked out and bigger look can you please tell me I’m confused let me know … 📲📲📲
Thanks for the video of comparison. I bought the 15, cause I’d dropped the 12 so often and the contacts screen became grey.., I ll probably see a difference.
Thanks this video helped & people's opinion on how the iPhone 12 is durable when dropped, even though i have never dropped my phone but concerned about this
@@mikew2479 I have had 12 for 3 years and also a new one for my father two months ago and perhaps soon my brother will take my device or I will use it for another two or three years.
New, 128GB memory, price is 535 in the cheapest place with a 15% tax, used 300-350, clean, maybe a device with a battery that needs replacing and a broken face fingerprint, it takes 150-170 dollars.

Anyone else own a 12 and notices no matter how many times it’s dropped it’s never shattered or have I just got really lucky?
Yesss ive had it for 2 years now and not even 1 shatter
I noticed that as well
yess
The feature is called Ceramic Shield it has a special coating to protect it from damage on the screen
Same
12 is still modern so we’re fine
i’ll upgrade in 3 more years or something
It’s got MagSafe, Ceramic Shield, AND 5G support!!! It’s good enough for basic use!!!
@@elijahtorres2688most def I upgraded from iPhone 8+ to a 12 4 months ago glad I didn’t get the 11 love the 12
I'm using an iPhone 12 and I'm happy, not gonna change it anytime soon 😊
i have a 12 also
Me too
I've been had mine since it came out, I think it's for an upgrade I got a 14

Battery health on my iPhone 12 is 79%, I’m charging twice a day 🥲
I'm using iPhone 12 for 3 years no issues with mobile, I either get Samsung S24 ultra if the features are ground breaking or else wait till iPhone 16.

It will last another 3 years with smooth performance

The 12 looks better design wise
Nah cap
@@de89456 It’s not, mainly the diagonally camera lenses look off on the 13/14/15, the iPhone 12 looks more sleek.

12 gang 💥
We have two of the 12
iPhone 12 is the greatest What makes others iPhones better is camera wise, but 12 amazing
to be precise, there is a .06’ difference in display size as the 12 has a 6.06’ & the 15 has a 6.12
Thanks

How much is iPhone 12
@@rodolfotsang4327right now you can probably pick one up for 799$
i had the same phone, if not for the bad battery i wouldn’t have upgraded

The iPhone 12 has the longevity of a army truck 😭😭😭😭😭.. I have dropped this phone so many times it’s crazy and it holds up like a champ
Bro had every single app open in the beginning 🤣
I just got my 12 this week I love it so far
Do you recommend the 12 pro? It thinking of getting it during Black Friday or Christmas.

I think if you’re going to upgrade you should definitely go for the 15 because of the USB C port being the new standard.
👌thx for your amazing videos per usual!

Great review, thanks! I especially loved the side by side comparison of speed capabilities. I’ll be upgrading this week!
Biggest change that made you upgrade?
And is the 15 better in your opinion?
I’m on a 12 rn and it’s very good

Why would you say that the 15 will get 7 years of updates if the 12 is already getting phased out
12 is phased out by apple but they still get updates
11 is still sold new and the xs is still supported. It will support an additional 3-4 years
Thanks for the video of comparison. I bought the 15, cause I’d dropped the 12 so often and the contacts screen became grey.., I ll probably see a difference.
iPhone 15 vs iPhone 13 Pro heard the regular 15 has the same power as the 13 pro
nahh iphone 15 has a16 chip its probably faster
Would you mind doing the 15 Plus VS. the 13 Pro?
Literally 0 difference, about. For like 800 dollars more 😂
I swear
Most useless comparison i have seen.
Bro this is for those who are confused whether they should uograde from 12 to 15
Thanks this video helped & people's opinion on how the iPhone 12 is durable when dropped, even though i have never dropped my phone but concerned about this
newly apple refurbished iphone 12's start at $450 so that's a pretty good deal but only 64 GB
Bought mine for 500$. 256GB
*550
I want the fifteen
how long do i get latest updates in iPhone 12?
At least 3 and maybe 4
What about the weight?
I'm sending my 15 back and returning to 12. They're mostly the same.
I've just got the iphone 12 in purple and i love it
On the 12 no issues ever guess will wait for 16 or cheap but new 15 pro etc.
I wish I had Seen this Video Before Purchasing My iPhone 15 😢
I am only going to upgrade at iPhone 17!
2021: iphone 15 has FAR more cameras than iphone 12!
2024: *iphone 15 has just 3 cameras.*
iPhone 12 didnt exist in 2019.
Bro the 15 not curved u just holding it to the camera making it indent
Need this, more speed testing with iPhone 12 pls
Slight differences all over, should wait another year.
1:10 what do you mean cheaper iphone 🙂
Watching this on my iphone15 😅❤
15s an upgrade all day.
I have the iPhone 13 it’s incredible
