iPhone 12 iPhone 12 vs 6s camera and overall experience

[skiltrip]

My wife and I have been hanging on to our 6s phones for quite a long time. We've come to terms with it being time to move on this year.
My wife is on Boost Mobile, and they've got the iPhone 12 for $199, which seems like a pretty darn good deal.

What's the camera quality and experience like on the 12 vs the 6s. Is it going to feel like a big deal moving to this camera? What about overall user experience, battery life, screen brightness and all that?

Compare features and technical specifications for iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone SE, and many more.

You can go there and select the 6s and 12 and compare overall specs.

It should be a pretty big jump in all areas.

The biggest changes came from:

iPhone 7 - Telephoto, Portrait mode
iPhone 11 - Ultrawide, larger sensor, 100% Focus Pixels meaning Night mode
iPhone 14 Pro - Much larger sensor for 48MP

You're jumping 2 camera nodes from iPhone 6s, so it'll be a big deal.

I went from a 6S to an 11 and was quite impressed. Last month, I upgraded to the 14 and I wasn’t so impressed but I do like the square edges.

It will be a big improvement. I have iPhone 12 mini. Even though it's not a Pro, both video and stills are stellar. 4k video at 60 fps looks amazing.

However, if your primary concern is camera quality, look at Utube videos concerning iPhone 14 Pro, and comparisons to $5k and $10k frame cameras, and even a $40,000 RED videocam. iPhone 14 Pro absolutely holds its own. The photog and videog professionals were blown away by how good iPhone 14 Pro stills and photos are.

If you're not shooting RAW stills or 4k HDR videos for production or business, or your iPhone camera is just for personal use, then get the iPhone 12, it will be plenty good.

The 6S’s camera is a potato when compared to the one in the 12. I have both phones and it’s not even close.

Apple still sells the 12 for like $600, so $200 is outstanding. It will blow away your iPhone 6S in everyday possible. Much better camera, screen, chip/speed, software, 5G and the battery should be a good bit better just cause it's newer. And likely more memory.
