I’m still waiting for a high-refresh-rate iPhone, which might come in the iPhone 13 series, though it will probably be relegated to a Pro model. As far as OLED displays go, the one on the iPhone 12 is very nice. That OLED display makes for deeper black levels, plus it has implications for the battery life of the phone. We didn’t have an iPhone 12 Mini on hand for review. There’s also the iPhone 12 Mini, which has a smaller 5.4-inch display. You’ll finally get an OLED display without having to upgrade to a Pro model, and on the iPhone 12 it measures in at 6.1 inches. The display quality, on the other hand, is pretty good. ![]() iPhone 12 display Apple iPhone 12 display Image source: Christian de Looper for BGR But you’ll have to wait for a future iPhone model for that update. Apple is rumored to be working on a way to make it smaller. But the notch is still starting to look a little old-school. Now, don’t get me wrong - I love Face ID and don’t mind a notch if it means I can use Face ID. One thing holding back the iPhone in terms of design is the notch. But as nice as that would be, I’m not convinced we’ll ever get a USB-C iPhone. Some hoped Apple would switch to USB-C for the iPhone 12. You’ll get the ringer switch and volume rocker on the left side, with the power button on the right. It looks good, though perhaps not as premium as the glossy stainless steel look on the iPhone 12 Pro.Įverything else that you would expect from an iPhone is here. It’s also color-matched to the back of the phone, with a matte finish. The frame on the iPhone 12 is built from aluminum.

It’s a design trait that made its resurgence with the iPad Pro and has since moved to other products too - including the new iMac, and iPad Air. Actually, the flat edges help make it a little more grippable. But in my experience, they’re just rounded enough to avoid that issue. ![]() You might assume that the edges feel harsh and sharp. On the contrary, it helps make it look classic. As mentioned, it’s very reminiscent of the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5, but that doesn’t mean it looks dated. Gone are the rounded edges, in favor of a new, flat-sided design. But it does give the phone a bit of a face-lift - and the device is better for it. The iPhone 12 doesn’t necessarily solve all of those issues. The iPhone 11’s design was nice, but it was more or less the same as the iPhone XS before it, and the iPhone X before that.
