      Good marketing, poor product. Micro upgrade, and even a downgrade in some areas. But they can do whatever they want, since they eatablished a cult long time ago. Iphone 13 will come with no screen included.

          "We are glad that Apple was so nice to keep the 2019 prices"

          Uhh, they didn't. Prices are $100 higher compared to the iPhone 11 from last year. The Mini is the same price - but thats not exactly a direct replacement for the iPhone 11, as most people don't want a phone that small.

            Wireless charging is so much waste of power.
            More than 3h to fill bit over 2800mAh.

            Using 12W charger, my ipad in 3h has more than 5800 mAh already.
            It takes 4h to fill the almost 9000mAh

                The camera cannot keep up with the latest large sensor ones used by Android flagships. Muddy details in low light.

                And there is one curiosity. It has a larger aperture than iPhone 11 but why is the ISO higher in low light, given the shutter speeds are almost the same?

                  Daylight image quality definitely worse than a Google Nexud 5x in HDR+ On mode (which wasn't the default mode of the Nexus). I see watercolor noise reduction as well as oversharpening. It's surprising that even 5 years later the Nexus 5x in HDR+ On mode stays the reference for daylight image quality (including colors, dynamic range and pixel level quality).

                      That tells you how powerful the iPhone 12 series is compared to iPhone 11 series.

                      We all know how A13 got ragdolled by Snapdragon 865.

                      Now Snapdragon 875 enters the chat.

                            Looks like they haven't tested Genshin Impact where the game drops frames consistently and lags all the while barely getting avg of 40fps.

                            A14 yet again gets handicapped by poor co-hardware and iOS itself.
                            It literally would cost them less than 5$ to put dedicated cooling.

                              Samsung galaxy s20 is a midsize phone thank you very much.
                              To be fair, it's not the iPhone 12 that's compact, it's the iPhone 12 mini.

                              Y'all think that midsize is compact with the advent of 6.7 inch behemoths from android.

                              Android only has 1 true compact phone(pixel 4a), and it's a midrange.

                                Okay, but that battery life and still no fingerprint scanner. Apple makes flashy phones but they're still fundamentally flawed in ways that matter. That's if you ignore their aging cameras, gimmick Magsafe charging and no charger in the box. I'm not that concerned about the missing earbuds, they were never that good and I replace them with my own iems.

                                  "You will see the seconds suggested next to the Night Mode icon, but if you tap on it, you can change the simulated long exposure or altogether disable it. Usually, it's between 1 and 2 seconds,"
                                  One should mention that Google's night mode takes up to 7 seconds in extreme low-light conditions and Google does not let you choose a shorter time. It's annoying and disappointing how stupid Google is. I have a Pixel 3a and Night Sight usually gives you slightly blurry photos unless you stop breathing for 7 seconds in extreme low light conditions. The Pixel 5's night mode can take approximately 6.5 seconds, that's shown in Engadget's YouTube review. The Pixel 3a (not the Pixel 5) also has HDR+ enhanced, which is more similar to Apple's night mode regarding the duration and also delivers better results than Night Sight usually.

                                    I mean they still haven't got their file management right.
                                    It's more than a decade now.
                                    "It just Works" yeah right, tired of these PR marketing terms.

                                      I'm honestly surprised this gets the same rating even though it now has the OLED display GSMA Loves.

                                        Everyone talks about Battery efficiency on iPhones and iOS.
                                        What good is that when paired with weak capacity?

                                        Total fail battery life as per 2020 standards combined with ancient 20W fast charging.
                                        One can only imagine the embarrassment if they had put 120hz screen.
