It is expensive but the iPhone 12 feels fresh and ready to last the next five years. It is the best iPhone since the iPhone X.

If you are an Android user who was unhappy with the iOS of the past, you may be very comfortable with an iPhone 12 running iOS 14.

Engadget | Chris Velazco

This year's iPhone 12 is a huge leap by almost every measure from the iPhone 11. And better still, the gap between the 12 and the Apple's Pro iPhones has closed dramatically.

BGR | Christian de Looper

The iPhone 12 is a definite improvement over the iPhone 11. The new design gives the device a more modern look, and additions like MagSafe and 5G are helpful, helping future-proof the phone. That's not to mention the new camera, which meaningfully improves mobile photography in most shooting situations.

Mashable India | Shomik Sen Bhattacharjee

Considering how close the iPhone 12 comes to the 12 Pro in design, speed and camera performance while costing less, we'd recommend this as the best choice for most iPhone buyers right now.

The iPhone 12 is great, and a worthy upgrade if you're hanging on to an older model or you simply must have the latest iPhone. It has a great screen, all-day battery and a design that puts pretty much everything else to shame.

The iPhone 12 truly is a notable jump for Apple's mainline phone and it now feels almost as Pro as the actual Pro model.

... if you want the best performance, the iPhone 12 is the phone to get.

The Verge | Dieter Bohn

The iPhone 12 is going to be the default choice for a lot of people buying an iPhone over the next year, and it's frankly fortunate that the default iPhone is so good. I think most people should get this instead of the iPhone 12 Pro. But I also think if you have an iPhone that's working for you just fine, there's not a must-have gotta-get-it feature here to compel you to upgrade.

NotebookCheck | Florian Schmitt

The iPhone 12 is another high-quality smartphone with a lot of power and a great case.

Pickr | Leigh Stark

if you don't see yourself needing to get close in photos, and want to save a few hundred bucks on a new iPhone, the iPhone 12 is enough of the iPhone 12 Pro to warrant a happier wallet overall. You'll still need to charge it a little more than you might be used to, but it's a solid phone choice overall. Recommended.

If you're upgrading from an older iPhone, the camera quality and performance will blow you away. More importantly, the iPhone 12 is a truly great iPhone that will continue to be good for years to come.

Tom's Guide | Adam Ismail

The iPhone 12 sports a gorgeous new design, full 5G support, great cameras and even better performance. However, the lack of a charger in box and limited base storage are drawbacks, especially with the iPhone 13's arrival.

AnandTech | Andrei Frumusanu

The iPhone 12 is in my opinion Apple's best iPhone in a very long time.

IT PRO | Bobby Hellard

The iPhone 12 has superb performance thanks to its A14 Bionic chip, arguably the best around...It's almost a perfect mix of cutting edge and comforting nostalgia.

Wired | Lauren Goode
