iPhone 12 My goodness, is the 12 series terrible??

Slightly shorter battery life is 100% a trivial issue.
It’s a first world problem, get over it.

I’m not even affected, so there’s nothing to get over from my side 😋

If you stay off this forum your phone will have no issues.

How true, and you won’t think you should of got a different one lol 😝

No issues with my 12 so far. We see a lot of complaints every year and this year doesn’t seem any different.

I take it you use your phones naked?

I do indeed.

 

[Apple_Robert]

I do indeed.

I am trying to muster the courage to do so with the new mini, especially given the current circumstances.

I recommend buying AC+. You will have the courage after that Do get a tempered glass though.

I have AC+ and a tempered glass protector.

I have AC+ and a tempered glass protector.

What's the issue then? Nothing will happen.

My X got dropped multiple times from 6+ ft height, not even a scratch I think.

It’s amazing. The size and the swipe interface together are such a great one handed experience. Feels so natural.

The only negative thing I can say about my 12 is that I don’t like the squared-off edges. The camera is a massive leap forward, the battery life is good and the extra RAM of the Pro really helps.

I feel like this is how it is with every new iPhone, a ton of bugs and people getting used to the devices.

The iPhone 11 series also had a lot of negative threads here when they first launched.

I'm well over 5 hrs SOT and still have 40% battery on my mini. My SE could only get 1.5hrs and it would be at 10% after that. Small phone, small battery. Run the screen dark, don't use 5G, don't game on it.

That is pretty good, I guess the OLED display and A14 make all the difference.

 

[eoblaed]

The most recent threads all seem to be mostly how faulty the 12 series is....

What is going on?? It makes me not even want to get a new phone.

My 12 Pro Max, my wife's 12 Pro Max, and my son's 12 Pro Max are all in perfect shape, perfectly functional, and true joys to use.

Don't stress over the negative threads. Human nature is such that people that are unhappy are far more likely to make noise than those that are happy. The overwhelming majority of us are super happy with our new phones. Yes, there will be the occasional outlier, but given the millions of phones sold, those are truly few and far between.

If you want a 12* phone, get one with confidence.

I’ve been a member of this forum since the 5s release, and every single year it’s the same pattern.

 

[richard371]

Happy here.

 

[DanTSX]

Product seems rushed. Also, expectations seem to be set too high (especially here).

5G infrastructure is new. So I don’t even understand the gripes about that.

I have had the cart loaded and trigger ready to be pulled a few times now. But I’m really thinking of holding off yet another year.

What I do think is that the 12S (or 13) refresh is going to address a lot of issues and overlooked / de prioritized development, and THAT will be the killer phone that people can own for years and years of trouble free service with relevant features. But then again, that is my speculation.

Lot of screen issues (yellow tint) reported. Specially with mini.
