The UnboxingTN Verdict

out of 100

The iPhone 12 remains a compact, well-built phone with a strong A14 chip, but its 2815 mAh battery and 60Hz display limit it.

What is good

  • Apple A14 Bionic on a 5nm process delivers strong performance
  • Super Retina XDR OLED display offers sharp 460 ppi imagery
  • IP68 rating and 164g weight make the design durable and light

What is not

  • 2815 mAh battery is small, with only 20W wired charging
  • 60Hz display refresh rate feels dated beside faster panels
  • Lightning port and 4G cellular limit modern connectivity

How the score breaks down

  • Performance 60
  • Camera 55
  • Display 58
  • Battery 13
  • Connectivity 64
  • Build 93
  • Software 43
