Hey all, I currently use a LG Stylo 6 that is starting to give me problems (Random freezes and just a pain to use compared to the Samsung J2 I used before). I'm thinking of buying an Iphone 12 (Regular size with 64gb). Would this be a good buy for aomeone who has never owned an Iphone? Thanks.

Edit: I plan on keeping/using my next phone for the next decade or at tge very least more than 5-7 years.

Storage in an iPhone is strictly non upgradeable. I would probably be looking at more storage as a baseline. 128gb as a minimum.

The 12 is a solid device and will probably last you a long time, especially if you’re willing to replace the battery.

If you can afford to pay more, the 13 has better cameras and battery. The 14 is not a particularly good value proposition over the 13 so only consider it if you can get a good deal.

yes the 12 is a good phone but i wouldn’t get 64gb. get 128/256

This is why I jumped from Android to IPhone felt I had to get a new phone every year because things slowed down.

I’d at the minimum get the 12 because it has 5G and the 11 does not.

Good thing about Apple is they require all apps to be optimized on phones they provide security support for. So everything will run smooth as butter even as it ages.
