120mhz will be coming next year so that everybody who buys the 12 will upgrade in 2021.

Put some pants on it and you won’t see the plumber’s crack anymore.
It is must have for the hardcore MR tech nerds who need to have a reason to update every year. And in a minute minority, there are those with certain eye conditions that can see a benefit.
Again, I fail to see how 5G is a "killer" feature. It's more of a take it or leave it feature.
The only real review that is important, is the personal purchase review, whereby you determine if the product is worth the money and will meet your current needs. And that review can last 13 - 14 days.
The reviews from the paid professionals is rather meaningless, unless one revels in group think and logical fallacy.

I see it as a killer feature as it will enable a new wave of tech. But you know as well as I know, 100% of the earth will not be blanketed in 5G.
We'll have to see how see how much of a battery hit 5G will cause. There should be an option to fully switch it off and people can then compare how much difference that makes. There is some balancing in that currently with limited 5G rollout, the benefits of it are equally limited but so will be its impact on battery life if it really is only used occasionally (plus the phone switches to 4G unless something requires higher bandwidth). Then in a year or two, 5G will bring more benefits, which to some degree will coincide with a larger impact on battery life.
Regardless, if the iPhone 12 didn't have 5G, plenty of people (maybe even mainly outside the Apple world) would have complained audibly. Much fewer people are complaining about the lack of 120 Hz in comparison.
Correct me if I'm wrong, I thought there was ability to completely turn off 5G and stay on LTE.
I’m a big Peter McKinnon fan and I appreciate that he let people know that the photo samples are edited in Lightroom. Would have been nice to include a link to the original photos taken instead of just showing what was manipulated in post. You can make an iPhone 4 or even a Moto G photo look fantastic with Lightroom!
He's still a hack. His hackiness doesn't depend one bit on how many views I have. In the real world, self worth is not measured by views or clicks.Let us know when you get a few million clicks with each article/video posted?
I pretty much said as much ("There should be an option to fully switch it off."). Not least because on my iPhone 11, I do have the option to switch off 4G.
I think its great that iPhones keep their appeal longer. The first few generations felt like must-have upgrades. I upgraded from a 6S Plus to a X, but had to go from a X to a XR when I had my screen replaced and the replacement failed. So I had the X for 18 months, but could have easily waited until the 11 to upgrade had I not broken the phone.
If I had the 11, I'd probably wait until next year to upgrade. However, since I've had the XR 19 months, I'm going for the 12 Pro.
The XR is still a great device. I could probably hold onto it for another year, but I do miss being able to take portrait photos of various items.

Ooh how dare you use common sense and logic when there are those out there desperate to to be outraged and in a time of unprecedented global disruption. Dragged kicking and screaming to reality , you’ll rot in hell for this 😂
I am really glad I waited until this year to upgrade from my iPhone 6S+. Biggest reasons for me to upgrade this year:
- The 12 Pro Max is only slightly larger (.12 inches) then my 6S+, with a much larger screen.
- The flat edges design that is a throw back to the iPhone 4.
- The 3 camera system. Being able to take pictures in low light is huge for me. Plus the LiDAR helping auto focus in low light conditions.
In one of the reviews they showed that there is are 3 new settings to force 4G all the time, auto select 4G/5G and I forget what the third one was.
It's probably not important to most people, but for fast moving action, it will likely provide a smoother display of such on-screen elements.
But it certainly does not make or break this phone. Calling a phone "pro" is silly anyways (but I get it). Not having some mythically awesome frame refresh rate doesn't make the phone any less usable for those who use it.
And Nilay Patel is still a hack.
120 or 60, I can see if it might make a difference on the use of Apple Pencil on iPad but for phones, I personally don't care but if it is really the blue the pro model comes in, it doesn't look like a premium color, maybe better to be more darker muted blue would have been "better"? "You are going to use a case, regardless," they say then only one color would have done but that's not what the market wants, right?
Most movies are recorded at 24FPS. 24--->60fps causes judder on a 60FPS screen whilst 120FPS is divided easily by 24FPS.
When displaying 24FPS on 60FPS screens there's "a disconcerting difference in display time on alternating frames, as is seen in 3:2 pulldown. One frame will stay on the screen for 50 ms, the next for 33 ms, the next for 50 ms, and so on. Some people notice it, others have no issues. "
With 120FPS you're able to eliminate that entirely...
Ha. Can you imagine the fallout if Apple went another cycle without 5G? You though the anti-notch movement was boisterous?
Apple literally had no other option but launching with 5G - even with knowledge that 5G networks aren't ready for prime time. Plus, easier to print fingers at carriers than have all fingers on you for skipping 5G this cycle.
