There’s plenty of choice when it comes to smartphones, almost too much in fact. If you don’t want Android, which is the best iPhone for you?
Why you can trust Pocket-lint (Pocket-lint) – The smartphone market is as crowded as ever – there’s plenty of choice, almost too much in fact. If you’re reading this feature, you have at least narrowed your options down to Apple’s iPhone. Even that isn’t totally simple, though, with a range of models to choose from. Apple offers the iPhone SE, the iPhone XR, the iPhone 11, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro Max. With seven options, the big question is which one is the one for you? Let us explain the differences to help you figure out where you should spend your cash. Quick summary The iPhone 12 mini is the base model of the most recent range of iPhones, and the smallest in the line up, offering a dual camera, OLED display, aluminium build, five colour options and a processor bump over the older iPhone 11. The iPhone 12 offers exactly the same hardware and features as the iPhone 12 mini but on a larger scale, with a 6.1-inch display like the iPhone 12 Pro. The iPhone 12 Pro has the same hardware as the iPhone 12 but it offers a more premium build and a triple rear camera with a few extra camera features compared to the iPhone 12 too. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is the iPhone that has it all. Its hardware is the same as the iPhone 12 Pro, but it offers a more advanced camera and everything in a larger package with a 6.7-inch OLED display. The iPhone 11 offers slightly older hardware to the iPhone 12 mini and 12 along with an LCD display over OLED, but it still comes in a good range of colours, offers water and dust resistance and has a dual camera. The iPhone XR is the entry-level model into the Face ID iPhones with an all-screen front design and Face ID over Touch ID. It has the oldest core hardware of all the current phones offered by Apple though and it offers a single camera on the rear. The iPhone SE (2020) carries over the design from the iPhone 8 with Touch ID over Face ID, so the display isn’t quite as impressive as the other models in the company’s portfolio. It has the same core hardware as the iPhone 11 models and it has a single camera on the rear.

It comes with Face ID like the rest of the iPhone 12 models and it features an aluminium body with squarer edges than the iPhone 11 and a ceramic shield front. There is a dual camera on the rear – like the older iPhone 11 and the larger iPhone 12 – and it comes with Night Mode on the front camera, as well as improvements to Night Mode on the rear too. Under the hood, the iPhone 12 mini has the A14 chip, which is the same as all the iPhone 12 models. It also has an OLED display with HDR, True Tone and Haptic Touch and it offers MagSafe, though it misses out on a couple of camera features compared to the Pro models. The iPhone 12 mini is the iPhone to buy if you want some of the latest and greatest features Apple has to offer but in a smaller package. AppleApple iPhone 12Dimensions: 146.
