apple.comne of four new iPhones
released towards the end
of 2020, the iPhone 12 will
probably be the most
popular model, coming in the middle
of the flagship phone price range, and
offering a solid range of improvements
compared to the iPhone 11. However, it
has also had a price rise, which
tempers the feeling of value.
All of Apple’s new phones this year
feature a new design, which most
closely resemble the design of the new
iPad Air and latest iPad Pros, and
which many have compared to the
iPhone 5-era devices, with flat sides,
and severe corners.
The iPhone 12 is significantly
smaller than the iPhone 11, despite
having the same-size screen.
Removing the curves of the case and
thinning the bezel around the
screen’s edge means this phone is
effectively the size of the 5.8-inch
iPhone 11 Pro – and is identical in size
to the iPhone 12 Pro, in fact. And the
flat sides and smaller borders mean
the screen is much easier to reach
across with one hand.O
