They were all problems related to a bad batch.
Even last year's iPhone 11 pro Max with 60hz had tinting issues on some units.
Again all boiling down to a bad batch.
Never had tinting issue on my IPhone 11 pro max nor my OP8 pro.

iOS Never Again, 31 Oct 2020I clearly said, using 120hz as a daily driver. Yeah I know, I meant that I’ve only had a quick try with one but not had the chance to use one daily but I’m perfectly happy for now using 60 hz. Also as an added note, most 120hz phones have been having issues with the screens anyway like a green tint on the oneplus 8 pro and the s20 phones

I have briefly used 120hz but only in a shop where I was comparing to the 90hz pixel and I couldn’t see much on a difference. From using a phone with a 90hz screen as my only phone I truthfully couldn’t tell the difference if it was on 60hz or 90hz so I’m perfectly happy with using 60hz but again that is a personal preference

It simply feels like a downgrade.
There are certain things that define a flagship experience: Premium build quality, All day battery life, Flagship level cameras, cutting edge hardware, great haptic feedback, etc.
60hz simply cannot give you a flagship experience despite the underlying display panel of iPhone 12 being good.

I wasn’t trying to say the iPhone has great battery. I was trying to say that the battery life is on par with the competition at this size. If you want the best battery the truth is you’ll have to go for a bigger phone whether it’s iPhone or android. I never spoke about the charging or the screen. The charging is abit of a joke, 20w max and you don’t even get a brick in the box. The screen is a weird one because it’s probably one of the best 60hz screens out there and for me that’s fine because I could never see the 90hz of the pixel 4xl that I had previously but I understand why people wouldn’t be happy with that.

Most normal people know that iPhone 12/12 Pro is the last 2020 flagship phone one will pick up if battery life is a priority. Combined with the slow charging, it's a disaster nonetheless.
The pro Max version will have better battery life though. But then who wants to be stuck on 60hz in 2020? Imagine how outdated it would be if one is using iPhone 12 pro Max with ancient 60hz and 20W charging in year 2022 and beyond.

Considering I have the iPhone 12 and my friend has the s20 5g I think that my argument is as real life as it can get.

So phonearena are Android fanboys just coz the test exposed the iPhone 12 bad battery life against its competitors? The truth is that your lies about S20 having worse battery life than iPhone 12 just got exposed. Next time come up with real-world tests and facts instead of anecdotal evidence which can't be trusted.

3d gaming: IPhone 12 = 3hr 1 min; Galaxy S20 = 7hr 43 min.
Is that gap small?
I am the one exaggerating on smallest things to make iPhone look bad???
It's Apple themselves who are making the iPhone 12 look bad by putting smaller battery inside.
On the Pro Max model, for the first time Apple gave big battery to iPhone users and the results were night and day.

People finding the smallest things and exaggerated it to make the iPhone look bad because it’s an iPhone is abit ridiculous. Wait for the 12 pro max before comparing iPhone to the battery champs of android because they are also massive. How about we just share honest information and opinions of actual usage since most people looking at these will be wanting to know what the phone is like to people who have used it rather than an android fanboys opinion of an iPhone

Also just to add to that my friend has the s20 5g and the battery is much worse than my iPhone 12. And yes I know s20 fe has better battery life but it is also a fair bit bigger in all directions and looks a fair bit worse than the rest of s20 line

S20 5G vs iPhone 12

So? worse optimizations?

Having the ip11 for almost 12 mths went and checked out the 12 in the flesh yesterday.. so overrated/ overpriced.. nothing made me go yeah I need this.. not sold on the design, the screen no better than the X.. don’t get the amazing reviews online at all unless your super into video making perhaps.. having a look around at some android phones at nearly half the rrp of the 12 had me more impressed and even trying these budget android phones really made me realise how slow the iPhones still are.. I love my iPhone11 but never been more tempted on heading back to android.. apple really are taking the p1ss
