Benefits of Buying a Used iPhone 12 over New iPhones
Choosing a second-hand iPhone 12 makes absolute sense, and here's why. Despite being released in 2020, this model remains an excellent choice for modern smartphone users. Here are some compelling reasons why you should reconsider buying the latest iPhone flagship:
Firstly, the iPhone 12's enduring design showcases Apple's commitment to longevity. The iPhone 12 has stood the test of time in terms of aesthetics with their rounded corners, flat edges, and durable Ceramic shield front – which looks almost identical to the current models. So even if you’re buying a secondhand iPhone 12 today, you can be sure it will last for many years to come.
On the software side, the iPhone 12 still receives regular iOS and security updates to ensure that all modern apps are running smoothly. Apple typically provides software updates for their devices for at least 7 years after their release. These updates include new features, performance improvements, and important security updates.
Under the hood, the iPhone 12 packs the formidable A14 Bionic chip with a Hexa-core (2x3.1 GHz + 4x1.8 GHz) and 4-core graphics. Quite frankly, who wants to spend all that money for an extra GPU core? This means that even in 2024, the iPhone 12 remains fast and powerful, effortlessly handling most apps and programs. Granted it's an older chipset, clock-speeds are not as far off from the Apple A17 chip.
Quite frankly, iPhone performance has reached a point where the difference between each generation is minimal. Considering the significant cost of nearly RM6,000 for a new device that will eventually depreciate, it’s more practical to buy
The iPhone 12 delivers outstanding camera performance that still passes the test today with a dual-lens 12MP (wide) + 12MP (ultrawide) setup. Granted newer iPhones have larger sensors such as in the iPhone 15’s 48MP (wide) + 12MP (ultrawide). It's worth noting that while megapixels alone are not the sole indicator of camera quality, other factors such as image processing, sensor technology, and software optimizations also play significant roles in determining the overall camera performance and image quality on iPhones and other smartphones.
The iPhone 12 features Deep Fusion Image Processing – a feature still used in modern iPhones today, uses cutting-edge computational photography techniques to capture and process multiple images at different exposures. It then combines these images to create a final photo with improved detail, reduced noise, and enhanced dynamic range. It also helps to improve image quality in low-light conditions. Can you imagine having the same camera features as the newest iPhone at a fraction of the cost?
In essence, when comparing the iPhone 12 with the latest iPhone models in 2024, the differences are minimal. The iPhone 12 still offers a premium Apple experience at a fraction of the original price. With its enduring design, powerful performance, and impressive camera capabilities, opting for a second-hand iPhone 12 over the latest flagship is a more practical choice. That way you can save money without compromising on quality and functionality.
