Apple iPhone 12 (256GB, Purple)

Over the years, Apple Inc. has grown into a multinational company that dominates the technology industry, amassing millions of customers around the world. In modern day society, technology has become essential for survival, allowing Apple to easily produce and distribute their merchandise. Each year, this company strives to create the “next best device” - an item that is more advanced than their last, aimed to satisfy the demands of Apple’s rapidly increasing fan base. This past year, Apple has succeeded those expectations once again, with the release of their newest technological device – the iPhone 12.

In modern day society, technology has become essential for survival, allowing Apple to easily produce and distribute their merchandise. Each year, this company strives to create the “next best device” - an item that is more advanced than their last, aimed to satisfy the demands of Apple’s rapidly increasing fan base. This past year, Apple has succeeded those expectations once again, with the release of their newest technological device – the iPhone 12. An important aspect of the iPhone 12 is its phenomenal appearance. It has a beautiful array of colors, ranging from a vibrant red to pastel green. I personally bought the white one, and was pleasantly surprised with its soft gleam, which gave the phone a soothing effect. The iPhone 12 is also bordered by aluminum edges, giving it a sleek and sophisticated look. The edges allow the device to have a moderately thin frame, further enhancing its modern design. Not only is the appearance aesthetically pleasing, it’s also practical. The screen is spill resistant, which is extremely helpful because you don’t have to worry about damaging it with drinks. It’s also laced with a ceramic shield, making it tougher than any smartphone glass. This allows for the iPhone to have a 4x better drop performance. I’ve dropped my phone multiple times, yet the glass remains sturdy, which is highly beneficial for my clumsy hands. In addition to the iPhone 12’s notable appearance, it’s known for its revolutionary features. The screen is about 6.1 inches long, making it significantly large. This makes it easy to view your friends on FaceTime or watch YouTube videos in HD. This iPhone is also renowned for its camera quality. The imaging effect produces clear and vibrant pictures, which can be edited using the variety of different filters displayed within the camera app. I’ve had multiple photoshoots with this camera, and I am always pleased with the professional results of my pictures. Another remarkable feature is the A14 bionic chip – the fastest chip in a smartphone. It allows the phone to properly execute its tasks, such as enabling Face ID or sustaining battery life. This device is also the first iPhone to have 5G connectivity, allowing customers to experience super fast downloads and high quality streaming. Apple Inc. has outdone itself with the release of this new iPhone. I strongly recommend this product to everyone because it’s a necessity in our technologically advanced world. Not only does this device have a stunning appearance, it also has remarkable features. Yet again, Apple successfully met the needs of its expanding customer base, further raising their expectations for the next iPhone. Creating their newest device will definitely be a challenge, considering that the iPhone 12 is one of the most desirable phones of this generation.

While others may not be having issues with their 12, I bought a new one in January and have been to Apple more times than I can count for issues with it. When my phone is not locked I do not receive notifications that a text has come through so it’s not until I look at my phone, get off of a call, etc that I see I have a text. Also, if I’m texting someone or on internet or any app, my phone will not ring nor will a call coming through appear on my screen. All settings are correct and an Apple Genius has confirmed but I’m not able to get a new phone from them and instead they just want me to let them send it off to have it repaired and if they can’t they’ll then send me a new one. Ummm, I have to go without a phone for a week or two bc the one I was sold is ... MoreWhile others may not be having issues with their 12, I bought a new one in January and have been to Apple more times than I can count for issues with it.

Ummm, I have to go without a phone for a week or two bc the one I was sold is junk? Ummm no! Also, when someone calls and I answer my phone immediately 3 way calls the last person in my contact log. It also can be plugged in and show it’s plugged in and charging but still have the battery percentage decrease when I’m not using the phone, and then die. So ticked off with Apple and have called countless times and have 5th genius appointment this weekend where I may lose it if my phone isn’t fixed or I’m given a new working one.

I had an iPhone 11 pro Max before I upgraded to a regular iPhone 12. I did it because I was tired of not being able to fit my phone in my pocket, and because I found the battery on the iPhone 11 pro Max to be poor. The iPhone 12 has worked quite well until now, it’s a year old. Unfortunately the battery doesn’t last me through half a day anymore, and the memory is all but used up. I pay the equivalent of 10 dollars each month for a TB or extra storage, as my phone’s memory only has a little bit left (6GB). It’s also started to become a bit slower in processing, which leaves me a bit annoyed. I’ve used iPhone and Apple for years now, and I like the phones. But if you use your phone a lot and take a lot of pictures, then get a phone with bigger memory. I really enjoy ... MoreI had an iPhone 11 pro Max before I upgraded to a regular iPhone 12.

But if you use your phone a lot and take a lot of pictures, then get a phone with bigger memory. I really enjoy the added features of the newer models, like the quality of the photos and videos. I just Wish I had bigger space to store everything, The newer iOS is also really good, with the option to customize your home screen and screen protector with widgets. I like that! Overall I pull one star for the memory of this product. You get what you pay for, consider sizing up if you use your phone more than average.

i’m an avid Apple user. Audio, visual, and camera quality are all excellent—i personally am very pleased with the new quality of the phone speakers while playing music or watching YouTube. i’m a bit bias, but i love the Apple operating system and it’s design and functionality. i’ve never had problems with apps closing themselves (minus bugs with the app itself) or randomly ended calls. sometimes, my Face ID won’t read my face, but that’s it. lastly, the design. i got the blue iPhone 12 and the phone is very sleek and stylish. the colour is vibrant, the glass back feels a lot better than aluminium, and the flat edges give a better look and grip on the phone than rounded edges. even though the phone is slightly bigger than the iPhone 7, it’s still easy ... Morei’m an avid Apple user.

A great phone for any age

This is an amazing phone. For the deal they had going on at the time I was able to get this phone for free and let me tell you from having an android phone for the past year and then being able to upgrade to this was like being able to see for the first time, this phone is so much better than anything I’ve had previously, the sound quality is amazing. The speakers are perfectly loud enough for any occasion and the screen is vivid enough for your most demanding movies, games, pictures, etc. also, the camera is top notch as well,it takes photos with so much realism You wouldn’t even be able to tell if it was taken from a phone. the battery life is on par with anything else and it’s class. I can go almost 2 days without having to charge it with only moderate use. Also, ... MoreThis is an amazing phone.

I can go almost 2 days without having to charge it with only moderate use. Also, if you have a quick charger, from the battery being around 5%, I am able to charge the phone completely within about 30 to 40 minutes, which is great compared to my android phone That would almost take two hours. With a proper case, this phone would be perfect for any age. I highly recommend this IPhone

Beauty & the beast

I still remember the days when people were making fun of Samsung and the likes for launching multiple phones in one go. So much to choose from and Apple was just limited to a couple devices and those few were class apart and had unique USP’s.Well, times have changed and I guess Apple has gone bonkers. They are crazily launching phone after phone with few tangible differences. I guess it’s not the way it was when Steve Jobs was leading.Anyways, this review is about iPhone 12 and boy oh boy it’s classy. I opted for Purple and it’s simply mind blowing. Mind you - No significant difference here between the 12 phones launched in the last few years alone (iPhone 11, 12, 13 and their sub versions).iOS 14 and 15 gave some massive updates but not the iPhones per se. ... MoreI still remember the days when people were making fun of Samsung and the likes for launching multiple phones in one go.

Apple still has some unique creative juice left and knows how to deliver classy products albeit make crazy profits on each device. Back to iPhone 12 - It’s sleek & sexy with a minimalist design. The touch and feel of this iPhone is heavenly. The performance is another feather in the cap. Smooth as butter and the output is simply remarkable. I have used multiple Android phones for a decade and I can confidently say that the iPhone 12 peaks amongst them. iPhone 12 also happens to be 4 times stronger than its predecessor in terms of screen strength/resistance. It’s also water resistant upto 6 mts for about 30 minutes. The Audio/Sound quality is superb when used with Apple’a own products/AirPods. The video quality is simply stunning. It’s so vivid and lively and a treat to music and movie lovers.Battery though is a bummer. I guess iPhone 12 has some serious battery performance issues. A look at their community page says a lot about many users feeling the same about battery output. iPhone 12 is and will continue to be a solid iPhone at least till iPhone 14 is lunched (only if some tangible and unique features come with it)Apple sure has a funny way of showcasing their love towards nature. Someone from their strategy team got a light bulb moment aka enlightenment and suggested they stop including Adapters and the rest is history. Hope that strategy person has been handsomely rewarded with a slew of perks/promotions for his love towards nature by the Apple CSuite.For now, it’s the best iPhone money can buy at least for me and I pretty much like the minute asthetics Apple focuses on. Hope this momentum continues

Disappointing Misleading Purchase

I purchased a cell phone which from the description it stated that the phone was new. Lo and behold when received it was a Used phone. This the Vendor said was an error on Walmart's part as they handle the descriptions on the site. I decided to give it a try nevertheless as the Vendor said it goes through a 70 inspection and their phones are like new. I tried the phone for one week and it is overheating while using. It is not keeping charge so you have recharge about every three hours and the volume drops while speaking so it is difficult to hear the person on the other side of the line. The Vendor did offer to pay postage to return but I don't live in the US so returning it would be quite expensive. Or they offered a $25 credit. I was never interested in a Used ... MoreI purchased a cell phone which from the description it stated that the phone was new. Lo and behold when received it was a Used phone.

I was never interested in a Used phone so this credit is of no use. Anyway, shoppers do your research and be mindful of your purchases. I was not even aware that I was dealing with a third party. The only positive in this is that at face value the phone does look new but is far from. This phone should not have passed inspection to be resold. Very disappointed is Walmart as well.

Great Phone as advertised.

I received the phone on the expected due date.Although it came in a generic package, the phone was in pristine condition (with battery at 87%) and it was shipped along with a sim tool ejector and a lightning cable (no adapter; although listed as included, the seller told me that it wasn't with my purchase).There were little whitish things around the camera lenses and some places around the screen (worry not, it can be cleaned).Speaking of screen, I don't know why, but it felt like the screen was plastiish instead of glassy, especially when touching the center (I could feel a hollow, I guess maybe due to the refurbishment?) But with a glass screen protector from Spigen or Whitedome, you'll forget about it.Although the phone was already reset, I performed an ... MoreI received the phone on the expected due date.Although it came in a generic package, the phone was in pristine condition (with battery at 87%) and it was shipped along with a sim tool ejector and a lightning cable (no adapter; although listed as included, the seller told me that it wasn't with my purchase).There were little whitish things around the camera lenses and some places around the screen (worry not, it can be cleaned).Speaking of screen, I don't know why, but it felt like the screen was plastiish instead of glassy, especially when touching the center (I could feel a hollow, I guess maybe due to the refurbishment?) But with a glass screen protector from Spigen or Whitedome, you'll forget about it.Although the phone was already reset, I performed an additional reset just in case.The phone was also at 0% when it arrived.Everything works perfectly fine, one and a half week of use later, and the device is not blacklisted in Canada.I recommend!I wish pictures could be includede!

Great product! But just be aware...

The phone arrived in pretty near-perfect condition. No noticeable scratches, extremely little wear... it practically looked brand new. Over the last few days it's been fully operational. The battery's capacity was at 87%, but that's fairly reasonable for a used product. My only gripe so far is that the charging cable that came with it felt non-legitimate, but eh, fair enough.However... be cautious as to which seller is offering the phone. I've seen the "sold and shipped" section change from Device Care to Lucells. My purchase was from Device Care, not anyone else.From looking at Device Care's overall reviews, it looks like they'll replace broken screens / batteries them with non-legitimate / non-certified parts. If that's a big deal to you, then you may want to ... MoreThe phone arrived in pretty near-perfect condition. No noticeable scratches, extremely little wear... it practically looked brand new.

Would be a hassle for you to get a broken phone and have to send it back.

No that impressed

I got this phone just as the 12s were coming out, I’ve had Apple phones since smartphones came out iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 6+, and the 7+ my favorite was the 7+ every single phone I have ever had it’s always the battery that goes bad and I’ve noticed a pattern EVERY SINGLE time I get these phones paid for or close to paid for the battery starts draining fast. This 12 now has to be charged twice a day it’s 2 yrs old with light usage, still looks brand new! I do love the iPhones but I know they have the technology to make the batteries last longer. I feel like they are designed to start failing right as the phones are paid off. Not so sure the iPhone 12 is probably going to be my last iPhone, and one more thing why do I need to pay for storage when my phone supposedly has ... MoreI got this phone just as the 12s were coming out, I’ve had Apple phones since smartphones came out iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 6+, and the 7+ my favorite was the 7+ every single phone I have ever had it’s always the battery that goes bad and I’ve noticed a pattern EVERY SINGLE time I get these phones paid for or close to paid for the battery starts draining fast.

Not so sure the iPhone 12 is probably going to be my last iPhone, and one more thing why do I need to pay for storage when my phone supposedly has all the storage I’ll ever need, Verizon rep said! People read the fine print and if you have insurance on your iPhone then you should know if you have to use that insurance you’re NOT getting a new replacement it’s a refurbished iPhone. So I went 3 stars because I really think Apple can improve the battery life we pay over a thousand dollars for these phones at least let the customer get their moneys worth. Or try an android phone that’s my next move. I live in Little Rock Arkansas and NEVER had 5G service with Verizon so I’m not sure 5G service really exists!!! Good luck
