But actually, the opposite is true, and the iPhone 12 is much more appealing now that the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 are available.

Each of the four models in the iPhone 12 lineup shares many common features, such as a Super Retina XDR display, 5G connectivity, and Apple\u2019s A14 Bionic chip.

On the other hand, if you\u2019re looking for the biggest iPhone, the iPhone 12 Pro Max with its 6.7\u201d display is the model you should be considering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align:center\" class=\"wp-block-wp-bootstrap-buttons\"><a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/guide\/apple-iphone-12\">APPLE IPHONE 12 BUYER&#8217;S GUIDE<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-are-the-new-iPhone-12-features\"><\/span>What are the new iPhone 12 features?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The previous-generation iPhone 11 lineup is still a great smartphone, even as we move deeper into 2023, but the iPhone 12 release brought several new features that allow it to stand above the previous generation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we have come to expect when Apple releases a new iPhone \u2013 it will have a newer processor. The iPhone 12 lineup is powered by Apple\u2019s A14 Bionic chip, which includes a 6-core CPU, 4-core GPU, and 16-core Neural Engine. In comparison, the iPhone 11 lineup is powered by the A13 Bionic chip with a 6-core CPU, 4-core GPU, and 8-core Neural Engine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the other key new features that were introduced with the iPhone 12 lineup include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>5G connectivity: The iPhone 11 was limited to 4G LTE<\/li><li>HDR display across the lineup: The iPhone 11 had HDR on the Pro and Pro Max, but not on the regular base-model iPhone 11<\/li><li>Ceramic Shield front for added protection against drops: The iPhone 11 lineup simply had a glass front<\/li><li>MagSafe: The MagSafe on the iPhone 12 makes it easy to charge, but also allows for accessories from Apple and third parties, which include battery packs, wallets, and more<\/li><li>More internal storage: The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini offer up to 256GB, whereas the iPhone 11 maxed out at 128GB&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A few other key improvements include features of the front and rear cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The iPhone 12 front camera supports Night mode and Deep Fusion<\/li><li>The iPhone 12 front and rear camera has support for Night-mode Time-lapse and HDR video recording with Dolby Vision at up to 4K at 30 frames per second<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to tap the green button below to read our complete iPhone 12 Upgrade\/Comparison Guide to see how the iPhone 12 lineup compares to other iPhone models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align:center\" class=\"wp-block-wp-bootstrap-buttons\"><a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/guide\/apple-iphone-12\/upgrade\">APPLE IPHONE 12 UPGRADE GUIDE<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is-the-iPhone-12-worth-it-in-2023\"><\/span>Is the iPhone 12 worth it in 2023?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A cheap iPhone 12, 12 mini, 12 Pro, or 12 Pro Max is absolutely worth buying in 2023. In fact, here at Swappa, we\u2019d argue that any of these four models is a better buy in 2023 than they were in late 2020 (when they were first released). The reason they are a better buy in 2023 is that they are significantly cheaper.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When these models were first released, Apple had the lineup priced from as low as $599 for the iPhone 12 mini. The iPhone 12 retail price started at $699, the iPhone 12 Pro retail price started at $999 with the iPhone 12 Pro Max retail price starting at $1,099.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can still buy a new iPhone 12 directly from Apple (priced from $599 for a 64GB model), but now that newer iPhones are available \u2013 you can save quite a bit of money if you buy a gently used model on Swappa. Tap any of the four widgets below to see just how much you can save when you buy a gently used iPhone 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-xs-6 col-sm-3\" align=\"left\"><div class=\"cell_product search\" data-alc=\"303\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-12\" class=\"image\" title=\"Apple iPhone 12\" aria-label=\"Product Apple iPhone 12\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.swappa.com\/images\/cache\/e7\/e6\/e7e650bed4c3d5152f7905391331fa94.png\" class=\"img-responsive img-responsive\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-12\" class=\"title\" aria-label=\"Apple iPhone 12\">Apple iPhone 12<\/a><div class=\"cell_footer clearfix\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-12\" class=\"price\">$<span>432<\/span>+<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-xs-6 col-sm-3\" align=\"left\"><div class=\"cell_product search\" data-alc=\"303\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-12-mini\" class=\"image\" title=\"Apple iPhone 12 Mini\" aria-label=\"Product Apple iPhone 12 Mini\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.swappa.com\/images\/cache\/42\/f7\/42f7e00af104deaeb08b9e21d2995454.png\" class=\"img-responsive img-responsive\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Mini\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-12-mini\" class=\"title\" aria-label=\"Apple iPhone 12 Mini\">Apple iPhone 12 Mini<\/a><div class=\"cell_footer clearfix\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-12-mini\" class=\"price\">$<span>329<\/span>+<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-xs-6 col-sm-3\" align=\"left\"><div class=\"cell_product search\" data-alc=\"303\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-12-pro\" class=\"image\" title=\"Apple iPhone 12 Pro\" aria-label=\"Product Apple iPhone 12 Pro\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.swappa.com\/images\/cache\/11\/44\/114463e2084103efd96d8ad69bc96b58.png\" class=\"img-responsive img-responsive\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Pro\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-12-pro\" class=\"title\" aria-label=\"Apple iPhone 12 Pro\">Apple iPhone 12 Pro<\/a><div class=\"cell_footer clearfix\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-12-pro\" class=\"price\">$<span>585<\/span>+<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-xs-6 col-sm-3\" align=\"left\"><div class=\"cell_product search\" data-alc=\"303\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-12-pro-max\" class=\"image\" title=\"Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max\" aria-label=\"Product Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.swappa.com\/images\/cache\/37\/11\/37119c3fa35083b0cd5b952f82307ea3.png\" class=\"img-responsive img-responsive\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-12-pro-max\" class=\"title\" aria-label=\"Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max\">Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max<\/a><div class=\"cell_footer clearfix\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-12-pro-max\" class=\"price\">$<span>710<\/span>+<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You-should-buy-an-iPhone-12-if%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>You should buy an iPhone 12 if\u2026<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u2026you want a great iPhone but do not want to spend the money to buy an iPhone 13 or iPhone 14 at retail prices.<\/li><li>\u2026you want some of the new features that were introduced with the iPhone 12, such as the 5G connectivity, which will allow you to keep using your iPhone for longer into the future.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You-should-consider-an-iPhone-11-instead\"><\/span>You should consider an iPhone 11 instead<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The iPhone 12, the 12 mini, the 12 Pro, and the 12 Pro Max are all solid smartphones.
