Under normal circumstances, Apple would typically host a huge flagship event in September to unveil the new iPhones.

Ive used the iPhone 11 for the last year and loved every bit of it.

And Ive been using the new iPhone 12 for 72 hours now.

72 hours with the iPhone 12: Old soul in a new body

Here are some of my thoughts.

First, the phone looks gorgeous in that luxurious blue color, more of these colors, like.

The new iPhone also has a smaller chassis but features the same amount of screen.

That brings me to the new OLED display.

Then theres the new/old boxy design.

Last years A13 Bionic was fast enough and I havent really noticed any major differences.

Theres also a new main sensor with an f/1.6 aperture as compared to f/1.8 last year.

This allows a bit more light and makes low-light shots slightly better.

Im going to take more photos samples and compare them with the iPhone 11 camera in the coming weeks.

I now get more than 50% charge in 30 minutes.

Compared to some Android phones, thats not too fast.

But its a start.

Hopefully, Apple will ship an iPhone with a USB-C port next year, fingers crossed.

So, Im giving that part a pass.

Overall, the iPhone 12 took the good parts of the iPhone 11 experience and improved it.

The new design is a throwback to the iPhone 4s/5 but with a twist.

I recommend you stick around for more detailed pieces in the coming weeks.

That’s one heck of a mixed bag.
