The iPhone 12 managed a Delta-E score of 0.29 (lower is better) when tested for accuracy, which is a significant step down from the excellent 0.22 that the iPhone 11 achieved. Again, I did not find that to be the case in my real-world testing as both displays are sufficiently bright. Brightness tipped in favor of the iPhone 11 in our testing with 652 nits of brightness compared to 570 nits for the iPhone 12. Taking a look at our colorimeter results, the iPhone 12 covers 114.5% of the sRGB color spectrum, which is virtually identical to the 113% that the iPhone 11 managed. That said, those considering a move from the iPhone 11 to the iPhone 12 should consider waiting it out for that upgrade with the iPhone 13. Virtually every flagship Android smartphone comes with a 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate this year and even the iPhone 12 suffers by comparison next to these displays. It’s worth noting that the iPhone 12 did not make the jump to a 120Hz display, a long-rumored feature that we now expect to see next year. The resolution difference is less noticeable to me I was able to pick out minute details on both devices, but the added contrast and deeper black levels of the iPhone 12 are unmistakable. It delivers not only more colorful images, but to my eye, a brighter picture, something that is at odds with our testing (as you’ll see later). When I loaded the HDR showcase that is Our Planet and placed the iPhones side-by-side, it was immediately apparent that the iPhone 12 is the superior display. So specs aside, does this actually make a visible difference? It absolutely does. Apple also reduced the bezels on the iPhone 12 display though the notch remains unchanged. While both smartphones feature a 6.1-inch display, the iPhone 12 now joins the Pro models in using a Super Retina XDR OLED with a 2532 x 1170-pixel display as compared to the 1792 x 828-resolution of the iPhone 11’s Liquid Retina HD LCD. With the exception of design, this is the most outwardly visible change to the iPhone 12 from the iPhone 11. But I mean c’mon, the flat-edged iPhone 12 can be its own stand again! If you like the rounded edge look of the iPhone 11 and its predecessors, that isn't an earth-shattering advantage to miss out on. Now, design is largely subjective, but I’d argue that there are some objective advantages like the size and durability here. The iPhone 12 is also over a full ounce lighter than the iPhone 11 at 5.8 ounces versus 6.8 ounces. At 5.8 x 2.8 x 0.3 inches, the entirety of the iPhone 12 fits inside the same space as the screen of the 5.9 x 3 x 0.33-inch iPhone 11. Some of this is attributable to the iPhone 12 being smaller in every dimension than the iPhone 11. In my experience, the squared-off design is still comfortable to hold and my colleague who reviewed the iPhone 12 Pro agreed. And its enhanced IP68 resistance against dust and water now enables the iPhone 12 to survive at greater depths for greater durations. The iPhone 12 is more durable than ever with its ceramic shield display offering four times greater protection against drops. For me, it’s an excellent reimagining of the popular design that originated with the iPhone 4, and it makes the iPhone stand out again with a unique yet functional design. If you read my iPhone 12 review or our iPhone 12 Pro review, you’ve already heard us wax poetic about the redesign. Upgraded storage still follows the same pattern with the 128GB model going for $649 and the top-end 256GB option at $749.įollow along the rest of the way to find out if the differences are worth the cost to you, but at $200 less than the iPhone 12, the iPhone 11 definitely takes this round. The iPhone 11 is now available starting at $599 for the 64GB model with 4GB of RAM. You can double your storage to 128GB for another $50, or for $949, you can have the maxed-out 256GB model we reviewed. The iPhone 12 starts at $799 for a 64GB model with 4GB of RAM. iPhone 12 Pro Row 0 - Cell 0Ħ0Hz, 6.1-inch, OLED, Super Retina XDR, 2532 x 1170Ħ0Hz, 6.1-inch, LCD, Liquid Retina HD, 1792 x 828īlack, green, yellow, purple, white, Product Red
