Is it worth buying the Apple iPhone 12 in 2024?

The iPhone 12 was launched in 2020, but the phone still holds its glory even in 2024. It remains a powerful and reliable smartphone that will breeze through any task you throw at it while capturing exceptional photos and videos. After all, it is a flagship phone from Apple and you are paying a hefty price.

However, if you ask me from a sheer value-for-money point of view, the iPhone 12 is still a bit overpriced for a four-year-old phone — which is actually not that surprising given it is from Apple, and this is Nepal.

Well, if your heart is set on an iPhone and you value the Apple ecosystem with iOS, then the iPhone 12 is a solid choice that offers significant upgrades over the iPhone 11. These include a more vibrant OLED display, faster performance, MagSafe support, 5G connectivity, better ultrawide and front photos at night, better HDR photos, and HDR video recording support with Dolby Vision.

However, for an additional cost of approximately 12%, the iPhone 13 is also there, sneaking at you with not as many but still noteworthy updates, including a smaller notch, cinematic mode video recording, better HDR photos, 4K60 Dolby Vision HDR video recording, and a newer A15 Bionic chip.
