iPhone 12 review: new standard



The Apple iPhone 12 has a lot of new stuff: a new OLED screen, 5G, MagSafe for charging and accessories, and a whole new design with a ceramic shield screen. Does all that add up to a must-upgrade? Only if you really need one, even though it’s great.

  1. I can get up to about 400 MBps in Victoria, BC, Canada on the Rogers 5G network with my iPhone 12 Pro. So far my experience with 5G in Canada has been surprisingly good, and even the somewhat rural area I live in gets 5G.

  2. just like every other guy in this comment box, i also have become a fan of the cinematography on this channel. keep up the good work verge team!!!
    expecting B-rolls in next reviews 😉

  3. As ever, for those coming from an iPhone that's three years old, this'll feel like a decent jump. For those coming from one that's over five years old, it'll be a massive jump. For less than three years, it's probs not worth it. Imo this is fine.

  4. I just emailed iPhone: I have NEVER had one complaint for my Mac/Apple devices. I’ve been a loyal customer for 30 plus years. I am RETURNING the FOUR iPhone 12 we just purchased. I CANT believe that you MUST use a MagSafe to charge this phone. What the heck Dudes!!! I own Audi and and Infinity vehicles. All tout the best performance and have wireless charging. Image my FRUSTRATION after a hard day at work and NONE of my wireless chargers work with this phone. It Died!! U didn’t provide one and after$600 for ech of these phones u want me to go buy wireless chargers. Let’s add this up- u guys r smart! 4 phones. 4 vehicles. 4 work spaces. 4 nightstands that I now have to replace alllllllll the wireless charging stations in my home w MagSafe!!!! NO way. We are Returning these!!

  5. I think I want the mini. I’m coming from 7plus. So getting a tiny phone with similar size screen is to enticing. The thing I hate the most is size in hand and on hand usability

  6. The guy doesn't even question the fact that apple said we didn't include the ac adapter because of the environment while the price remain just a little bit high…..are you kidding me.
