We’ve heard a cheaper 4G iPhone 12 may be released, but people who want their iPhone to last should avoid it.
The possibility of the iPhone 12 being the first 5G iPhone started off looking unlikely, but more and more rumors started hinting that all phones released by Apple at the end of the year might have 5G connectivity.
News recently broke, however, that as well as the four 5G iPhone 12 models there may also be two models(supposedly variants of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Max) that might have 4G versions released too, with lower prices.
While this news seems a bit dubious, given the leaker has never leaked anything before, it got lots of people excited at the prospect of a 4G iPhone 12 that’s supposedly way cheaper than the current iPhone 11.
Even if this 4G iPhone 12 does end up being released, you shouldn’t be so quick to lap it up, and there are reasons you might want to consider spending a little bit more to get the 5G equivalent instead. Let’s explore why.
Tech writers often use the word ‘future-proof’ to describe a technology, or product with that technology, that will keep on being relevant and useful for years after you’ve bought it.
For example, USB-C is future-proof because it will likely continue being a tech standard for years to come.
