[0]
for the first time ever apple has
[2]
released
[3]
four new iphone models now including
[6]
the iphone 12 mini so i can say with
[9]
absolute certainty that it's never been
[12]
this hard to decide which iphone you
[15]
should actually buy
[16]
especially since we also have the 400
[19]
iphone se
[20]
that's still a great deal so what i'm
[22]
gonna do in this video is show you guys
[25]
the real world differences and recommend
[27]
each iphone
[28]
for different use cases helping you
[31]
decide
[32]
which iphone you should buy but before i
[34]
get into the buyer's guide portion of
[36]
this video
[38]
i want to go through 12 different
[39]
mistakes that you must be aware of
[41]
so you can avoid them when buying a new
[44]
iphone so let's get started with
[46]
mistake number one don't buy the iphone
[48]
12
[49]
pro models thinking that you need them
[51]
for the best 5g coverage
[53]
the fact is that the regular iphone 12
[55]
and even the 12 mini
[57]
have the same 5g support including
[60]
millimeter wave 5g and everything else
[63]
like wi-fi 6.
[64]
so don't spend the extra cash on the pro
[67]
if that's all you really care about
[68]
mistake number two is buying the iphone
[70]
12 mini without
[72]
considering the battery life impact this
[74]
phone is
[75]
super small in fact smaller than the
[78]
iphone 6
[79]
so if you really care about battery life
[82]
i would steer away from the mini model
[84]
and just pay a hundred dollars more for
[86]
the larger iphone 12.
[88]
mistake number three is buying the
[90]
iphone 12 pro models thinking you need
[92]
them for the better display
[94]
water resistance or the thinner design
[97]
what's really shocking
[98]
this year is that the regular iphone 12
[100]
gets
[101]
the same exact super retina xdr
[104]
display with 1200 nits of peak
[107]
brightness and the same
[108]
crazy good 460 pixels per inch the only
[112]
downside is that in typical
[113]
usage it's limited to 625 nits
[117]
compared to 800 that's it and in terms
[120]
of water resistance
[121]
the regular iphone 12 models get ip68 at
[124]
6 meters
[125]
for up to 30 minutes exactly the same
[128]
resistance as
[129]
the pro models which wasn't the case
[131]
last year
[132]
since the iphone 11 only had 2 meters of
[135]
ip68 and what's even more surprising is
[138]
that the regular iphone 12 models have
[140]
the exact same thickness as
[142]
the pro models 7.4 millimeters
[145]
which wasn't the case last year since
[147]
the iphone 11 was really thick
[149]
at 8.3 millimeters mistake number four
[152]
is buying the iphone 12 pro if you want
[155]
the absolute
[156]
best camera quality the iphone 12 pro
[158]
max
[159]
gets massive camera improvements
[162]
including
[162]
a much better main camera sensor that is
[166]
47 larger and improves low light by a
[169]
huge 87 percent
[171]
it also gets the brand new sensor shift
[174]
stabilization feature which is going to
[176]
make for super smooth video
[178]
and sharp photos and it gets an improved
[181]
telephoto lens
[182]
with a longer 65 millimeter zoom
[185]
compared to 52 on the 12
[187]
pro so definitely buy the 12 pro max if
[190]
you want the absolute
[192]
best camera quality and it's great that
[194]
it's only a hundred dollars more
[196]
for mistake number five if you're
[198]
planning on buying one of the regular
[199]
iphone 12 models
[201]
don't miss out on the crazy good value
[203]
storage
[204]
upgrade for only 50 dollars more
[207]
you get double the storage up to 128
[210]
gigs
[211]
which is a must if you take a lot of
[213]
photos and video
[215]
i currently have the 11 pro max with
[217]
only 64 gigs of storage
[219]
and it's nowhere near enough so i
[221]
definitely recommend
[222]
that 50 upgrade for the regular models
[225]
mistake number six
[226]
is considering buying the iphone 11 pro
[229]
model
[230]
for less cash now that the iphone 12 is
[232]
out
[233]
and my answer is a very strong no even
[236]
if you can find
[237]
the 11 pro brand new for 800.
[241]
absolutely 100 buy the regular iphone 12
[245]
model instead
[246]
because it's got almost all the same
[248]
features like the oled display
[250]
but it gets even better camera quality
[253]
it's got much better
[254]
cellular service it's quite a lot
[256]
thinner and it's got the new design with
[258]
the flat sides
[259]
which should be staying around for the
[261]
next few years
[262]
so even though it's missing a couple of
[264]
features like the telephoto lens
[267]
absolutely buy the regular iphone 12
[270]
instead of the 11 pro for mistake number
[273]
seven
[273]
don't buy third party wireless chargers
[276]
for the iphone 12 lineup
[278]
you might not know this but only
[281]
branded charges from apple and other
[283]
companies like belkin
[285]
get the new 15 watt fast wireless
[288]
charging
[288]
and on top of that these new chargers
[290]
support the cool
[292]
mag safe magnetic feature so you can
[294]
actually use your phone
[296]
while it's wirelessly charging the issue
[298]
with other third-party chargers
[300]
is that if you don't get the placement
[302]
perfect you might wake up to a battery
[304]
that hasn't charged at all
[306]
and magsafe solves that mistake number
[309]
eight
[309]
also has to do with max safe and if
[311]
you're interested
[312]
in that feature do not buy a regular or
[316]
common
[316]
third party case apple added extra
[319]
magnets into
[320]
all of their new cases because there's a
[322]
good chance that the magnetic connection
[324]
isn't going to be strong enough to hold
[326]
on to other accessories
[328]
if you use a basic case so if you want
[330]
to buy one of the new magsafe adapters
[333]
or even third-party accessories
[335]
like a magnetic pop socket buy a high
[338]
quality
[339]
apple branded mac safe case but if you
[341]
don't really care about that
[343]
i'm gonna have a couple of great case
[344]
options down in the description below
[347]
now for mistake number nine this one
[349]
hasn't really been confirmed just yet
[351]
but according to a bunch of leaks
[353]
including leaked benchmarks
[355]
there's a good chance that the iphone 12
[357]
pro models will actually come with six
[360]
gigabytes of ram
[361]
while the regular 12 models only get
[363]
four for some people
[365]
this is a deal-breaking feature if the
[367]
pros actually get
[369]
6 gigs making it more than worth paying
[372]
extra
[372]
for the pro models and in my experience
[375]
4 gigabytes of ram on the 11 pro
[378]
just isn't enough because apps like
[380]
facebook would randomly close on me
[383]
so double check the ram to confirm
[385]
before you buy
[386]
for mistake number 10 if you need a new
[388]
charging brick
[389]
due to apple taking it out of the box do
[392]
not buy
[393]
apple's 20 watt power brick instead you
[396]
should buy anker's
[397]
20 watt fast charger on amazon for two
[400]
different reasons
[402]
one it's currently on sale for only 16
[405]
if you use the coupon code and number
[408]
two
[408]
it's much smaller and more compact
[411]
compared to apple's version
[412]
which is quite a bit larger so i'm going
[414]
to leave a link down to the anchor
[416]
charger
[416]
down below for mistake number 11 if
[419]
you're using verizon or
[421]
t cellular service be sure to actually
[424]
choose
[424]
those options during checkout instead of
[427]
buying it
[428]
unlocked since it'll save you 30 dollars
[431]
on the regular iphone 12 models
[433]
and if you notice this little bit of
[435]
fine print only the att models are
[438]
actually
[439]
locked so verizon users have no reason
[442]
at all
[443]
to choose the sim free version so don't
[445]
do that on accident
[447]
or you're going to be paying an extra 30
[449]
dollars for nothing
[450]
and finally for mistake number 12 if
[453]
you're not
[453]
planning on spending at least a thousand
[455]
dollars for a new iphone
[457]
don't wait until next year to upgrade
[460]
thinking that you're gonna get features
[461]
like 120 hertz promotion that feature is
[465]
almost certainly
[466]
only coming on the pro models and in my
[469]
opinion
[470]
i think there's going to be even less of
[472]
a difference next year
[473]
compared to everything we got with this
[475]
year's regular iphone 12.
[477]
with that let's get into the buyer's
[479]
guide portion of this video
[481]
and i'm going to start with the iphone
[483]
se which is priced at 399
[486]
this phone is really meant for three
[488]
different kinds of people
[490]
number one is for people who want a fast
[492]
budget iphone
[494]
like people switching from an android
[496]
phone number two is for kids or
[498]
teens since the size is small and the
[501]
price
[501]
is very low and number three is for
[503]
non-tech enthusiasts
[505]
who are upgrading from an older iphone
[508]
since the sc
[509]
is very familiar with the home button
[511]
and touch id
[513]
and upgrading gets you a fresh battery
[515]
and
[516]
a new fast performing chip now moving on
[518]
to the iphone 12
[520]
mini these are the people who should be
[522]
buying this phone
[523]
if you want an iphone 12 for the new
[524]
design the great camera quality
[527]
5g and other features like mac safe
[530]
and you want to get it for the absolute
[532]
lowest price
[533]
you've gotta go with the mini since it's
[536]
699 dollars
[538]
on top of that if you're someone who
[539]
really loved the smaller iphones like
[542]
the iphone 4
[543]
you're gonna love the 12 mini since it's
[546]
so small
[547]
so it's great for people with smaller
[549]
hands and the best part is that the
[551]
feature set
[552]
is identical to the regular iphone 12 so
[555]
the only downside
[557]
is lower battery life due to the smaller
[559]
size
[560]
now for the regular 6.1 inch iphone 12 i
[563]
think it's gonna be
[564]
the star of the show because it packs an
[567]
incredible amount of value
[568]
compared to the pro models just like i
[571]
said before
[572]
the iphone 12 absolutely destroys the 11
[576]
pro
[576]
and in terms of value it easily beats
[579]
out the iphone 12 pro as well
[582]
in fact the 12 pro literally only gets
[585]
8 advantages the stainless steel sides
[588]
the telephoto camera 800 nits typical
[591]
brightness on the display compared to
[593]
625
[595]
the lidar scanner potentially six gigs
[598]
of ram
[598]
128 gigs of storage instead of 64.
[602]
the apple pro raw feature which isn't
[604]
available yet
[606]
and dolby vision recording at 60 frames
[609]
per second
[609]
instead of 30. that's it because of that
[612]
i think most people looking at the
[614]
iphone 12 pro
[616]
should just go for the regular 12 since
[618]
you could save 200
[620]
or 150 if you want to get the same 128
[624]
gigs of storage
[625]
on the iphone 12. we recently ran a poll
[627]
asking people which iphone 12 model
[629]
they're going to buy
[630]
and the 12 pro was by far the least
[633]
popular option and that's because it
[636]
barely improves
[637]
on the regular iphone 12. moving on i'm
[640]
actually going to skip ahead to who
[641]
should be buying the iphone 12 pro max
[644]
before i finish off with the regular 12
[646]
pro first off the 12 pro max gets the
[649]
absolute
[650]
best camera performance on any iphone
[652]
with a much better
[654]
main camera sensor that's larger and it
[656]
gets the new
[657]
sensor shift stabilization feature and
[660]
of course
[660]
the longer telephoto lens for better
[663]
zoom shots
[663]
so if you really care about camera
[665]
quality buy
[667]
the iphone 12 pro max for sure and we'll
[670]
be testing the camera differences
[671]
very soon so subscribe right now if you
[674]
haven't already and looking back at that
[675]
poll that we ran
[677]
most people wanted the max model and i
[679]
can guarantee you
[681]
it's because of the camera improvements
[683]
other reasons to go for the pro max are
[685]
of course the massive 6.7 inch display
[688]
for immersive
[690]
media consumption and gaming you're also
[692]
getting the best battery life
[694]
due to the larger size and of course
[697]
you're getting the other advantages like
[698]
potentially six gigs of ram
[700]
and the lidar scanner so if you're
[702]
considering buying the iphone 12 pro
[705]
just go for the pro max instead because
[708]
you really get a lot of camera
[709]
improvements
[710]
for the extra hundred dollars but of
[712]
course not everyone wants
[714]
the massive pro max so let's finish off
[717]
with who should actually buy
[719]
the 12 pro if you care about camera
[721]
quality and you really really want
[723]
that telephoto lens and other features
[725]
like pro raw
[726]
the lidar scanner and things like that
[729]
but the pro
[730]
max is simply way too big for your hands
[733]
then sure go for the 12 pro but other
[736]
than that
[736]
there are really only three reasons why
[739]
anyone should buy the 12 pro
[741]
over the less expensive iphone 12 model
[743]
the first reason
[744]
is if you really care about ram since
[747]
the pro models are most likely coming
[749]
with six gigs
[750]
compared to four and to some people
[752]
that's a deal breaker
[754]
the second reason is if you really enjoy
[756]
the feel of the premium
[758]
stainless steel band compared to
[760]
aluminum and if that difference is worth
[762]
it for you
[763]
then get the pro and the final reason is
[765]
if you're a t-mobile customer like
[767]
myself
[768]
who has to pay an extra 30 dollars for
[771]
the regular iphone 12
[773]
and you also really want at least 128
[776]
gigs of storage
[778]
at that point the difference in price is
[780]
only a hundred and twenty dollars
[782]
which could be worth it for the few
[784]
bonus features you get on the pro
[786]
now with all of that said if this video

[790]
go ahead and click the circle above for
[792]
our hands-on comparison videos
[793]
coming very soon and if you're still
[795]
wondering which one you should buy or if
[797]
you should upgrade
[798]
comment down below and i'm gonna do my
[801]
best to help you make a decision
[802]
and if you're still struggling check out
