If you are looking to upgrade your existing phone for a new smartphone, I won't stop you from buying the iPhone 12.

It is expensive but the iPhone 12 feels fresh and ready to last the next five years. It is the best iPhone since the iPhone X.

Better design, a better display and all the power you'll ever need make the iPhone 12 a marked improvement over the already great 11 - but don't buy it for 5G

If you are an Android user who was unhappy with the iOS of the past, you may be very comfortable with an iPhone 12 running iOS 14.

Engadget | Chris Velazco

This year's iPhone 12 is a huge leap by almost every measure from the iPhone 11. And better still, the gap between the 12 and the Apple's Pro iPhones has closed dramatically.

BGR | Christian de Looper

The iPhone 12 is a definite improvement over the iPhone 11. The new design gives the device a more modern look, and additions like MagSafe and 5G are helpful, helping future-proof the phone. That's not to mention the new camera, which meaningfully improves mobile photography in most shooting situations.

Mashable India | Shomik Sen Bhattacharjee

Considering how close the iPhone 12 comes to the 12 Pro in design, speed and camera performance while costing less, we'd recommend this as the best choice for most iPhone buyers right now.

If you are looking to upgrade from aniPHone older than XR or even XR, then there is a no-brainer as you will feel a world of a difference.

NDTV Gadgets | Jamshed Avari

If you're currently using an iPhone 11 or iPhone XR, chances are you won't gain much by upgrading at the moment.

Recombu | Max Parker

The iPhone 12 is great, and a worthy upgrade if you're hanging on to an older model or you simply must have the latest iPhone. It has a great screen, all-day battery and a design that puts pretty much everything else to shame.

Trusted Reviews | Max Parker

The iPhone 12 truly is a notable jump for Apple's mainline phone and it now feels almost as Pro as the actual Pro model.

In a world of 6.7-inch+ Android smartphones, the iPhone 12 is a breath of fresh air.

phoneArena | Preslav Kateliev

The regular 12 just covers everything you might need, minus the 2x telephoto lens. And that's it…

PCWorld | Michael Simon

The iPhone 12 isn't just the right iPhone for most people, it's one of the best smartphones ever made.

Mobile Syrup | Patrick O'Rourke

iPhone 12 is one of the most solid smartphone packages the tech giant has released in years.

Digital Trends | Andrew Martonik

Those who have an iPhone already and are eyeballing an upgrade to the latest phones should start with the iPhone 12 as their default choice.

AVForums | David Phelan

Overall, I think this is the biggest upgrade Apple yet in an iPhone, and puts the iPhone 12 among the leading-edge smartphones.

Android Central | Harish Jonnalagadda

... if you want the best performance, the iPhone 12 is the phone to get.

The Verge | Dieter Bohn

The iPhone 12 is going to be the default choice for a lot of people buying an iPhone over the next year, and it's frankly fortunate that the default iPhone is so good. I think most people should get this instead of the iPhone 12 Pro. But I also think if you have an iPhone that's working for you just fine, there's not a must-have gotta-get-it feature here to compel you to upgrade.

NotebookCheck | Florian Schmitt

The iPhone 12 is another high-quality smartphone with a lot of power and a great case.

Pickr | Leigh Stark

if you don't see yourself needing to get close in photos, and want to save a few hundred bucks on a new iPhone, the iPhone 12 is enough of the iPhone 12 Pro to warrant a happier wallet overall. You'll still need to charge it a little more than you might be used to, but it's a solid phone choice overall. Recommended.

India Today | Javed Anwer

I have no doubt that the iPhone 12 is a excellent phone.

Tom's Guide | Adam Ismail

The iPhone 12 sports a gorgeous new design, full 5G support, great cameras and even better performance. However, the lack of a charger in box and limited base storage are drawbacks, especially with the iPhone 13's arrival.

The Economic Times | Aabhas Sharma

Don't be surprised if the iPhone 12 is the highest-selling phone in the world in 2021, because it is really that good.

TechRadar | Gareth Beavis

The iPhone 12 mini is cheaper, but if you want more screen real estate to see more of the action on your display, this is the model to go for.

AnandTech | Andrei Frumusanu

The iPhone 12 is in my opinion Apple's best iPhone in a very long time.

IT PRO | Bobby Hellard

The iPhone 12 has superb performance thanks to its A14 Bionic chip, arguably the best around...It's almost a perfect mix of cutting edge and comforting nostalgia.

Android Authority | David Imel

Personally, I would pick up the iPhone 12 Pro over the iPhone 12, mostly due to the extra 2GB of RAM and better build quality.

91mobiles | Sanket Vijayasarathy

iPhone 12 is the best iPhone for most people.

T3 | Matthew Bolton

The iPhone 12 is the iPhone most people should get in 2020

Pocket-lint | Stuart Miles

For that group of people who want a new iPhone, but just can't justify the price of the iPhone 12 Pro range, this is a great choice without having to feel like you are settling for second best.

GadgetMatch | Michael Josh Villanueva

Unless you need more storage, more RAM, and a telephoto camera, I recommend saving your money and getting the iPhone 12 over the iPhone 12 Pro.

Wired | Lauren Goode

Get the iPhone 12 if you're long overdue for a fast phone with a great camera and you prefer iOS and living in Apple's ecosystem.
