The Apple iPhone 12 64GB is Apple's 2020 smartphone featuring a 6.1 inches, 90.2 cm2 (~86.0% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Apple A14 Bionic (5 nm) chipset. It comes with a 2815 mAh battery. At AED 850 in the UAE and ₹27,900 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The iPhone 12 64GB excels with its 12MP wide camera featuring f/1.6 aperture and OIS, delivering superior low-light detail, and its 2815mAh battery sustaining 84 hours of endurance. The A14 Bionic chip’s 2x3.1 GHz Firestorm cores maintain smooth performance even under heavy multitasking. Ideal for users needing reliable 5G coverage across bands 1, 3, 7, 28, 41, 77, and 79 in UAE or India, with NFC for contactless payments and MagSafe-compatible 15W wireless charging. Its weakness is thermal throttling under prolonged 5G use, reducing sustained frame rates in demanding apps. In UAE at AED 850, it’s competitive because it’s the cheapest 5G iPhone with OIS and MagSafe. In India at ₹27900, it’s overpriced—newer mid-range phones like the Pixel 7a offer better cameras and larger batteries for less. Buy only if iOS ecosystem lock-in is non-negotiable.
