The iPhone 12 series is Apple’s first 5G smartphone. Unfortunately, the performance improvement of Apple A14 is limited, with only an 8 improvement compared to A13. Even Apple is embarrassed to compare it with the A13. I am afraid that this 8 is also due to the 5nm process, otherwise it will be even lower.
The iPhone 12 series has a 5.4-inch iPhone 12 mini. Since Apple is best at small-screen phones, and its price is lower than the iPhone 11, netizens want to buy this small-screen 12 mini. , but as the press conference approaches, there are more and more news about iPhone12 mini, and it is becoming more and more disappointing.
The iPhone 12 mini uses a full-screen AMOLED notch and supports Face ID facial recognition, but the processor it is equipped with is the down-clocked version of the Apple A14, the B14, which means that the performance of the B14 is not as good as the Apple A13. Recently, foreign media broke the news again that the iPhone12 mini is only a 4G phone and does not support 5G. So is there still any point in buying iPhone12 mini?
Although 5G has been popularized in China, the global market is still in the 4G era. The mobile phones released by Huawei, Xiaomi, and OV for overseas markets are all equipped with 4G processors. The iPhone 12 series is sold to the global market and will not only provide 5G versions, there will definitely be 4G iPhones. The low-priced iPhone 12 mini is designed to meet the needs of the 4G market. The launch of this phone is also to seize the market vacated by Huawei. After Huawei was sanctioned, sales in overseas markets declined sharply. Samsung wants such a large market, but Apple Want it too.
iPhone12 is the main model. The positioning of this phone is the same as the advertising slogan of iPhone11? Everything is just right?. iPhone11 can become the global sales champion not by its strong performance, but by its usability. , enough, and easy to use. Although the configuration is not as good as the iPhone 11 Pro and the photography is average, the iPhone 11 also has a smooth and secure iOS system and a low price. It is not surprising that it can be a big seller.
The same is true for the iPhone 12. Everything is just right. The 6.1-inch screen can be controlled with one hand. Although the performance of the Apple A14 is not too strong, it is enough for daily use. 4 The 128GB/256GB storage combination can be used for three to four years. The front 12-megapixel single camera and the rear dual 12-megapixel camera can also meet the needs of use, but the battery is a bit small, does not support high refresh rates, and consumes power in 5G mode. Seriously, it can't last a day. In addition, even if the iPhone 12 is plugged into the Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 5G baseband, the signal is still not good. The signal of the iPhone is already very bad, and switching to Qualcomm 5G baseband this time will not significantly improve it.
Due to the extremely high cost of 5G mobile phones, the iPhone 12 also needs to install a heat sink and pay 5G patent fees. As a result, the price of the iPhone 12 is much more expensive than in previous years. In order to reduce the price of the iPhone 12 series, Cook , I have to give up the charger and headphones, and buy them myself if needed. It seems cheap, but in fact it is more expensive. I believe that the vast majority of Apple fans will buy Apple’s official 20W charger. The price is high, but you can rest assured. Together, the two items are much more valuable than the iPhone 11.
Cook’s Apple has always implemented the strategy of squeezing out toothpaste with micro-upgrades. This is still the case this year. 5G is considered a more important upgrade, including AMOLED screen, A14, and 20W fast charging. In addition to these, what about ? Domestic Android phones have 120W wired, 50W wireless, 108 million pixels, 50 million pixels, and a 120Hz refresh rate?
If Xiaomi 11 is as toothpaste-like as iPhone 12, it is estimated that not many people will buy it, but iPhone 12 will be fine. , users will definitely buy it, and iPhone 12 can now be booked in advance to be next year’s sales champion.
