Apple recently released the next generation iPhone for the year 2020/2021 – the iPhone 12. Apple is skipping the tradition of having “S” family, so instead of iPhone 11S, now you see iPhone 12. While there are reasons behind why Apple decided to skip the “11S” naming but here’s the most possible one: Why Apple skipping iPhone 11S and go with iPhone 12 instead.
In the past, picking which iPhone to buy whenever Apple released a new one on the market is a lot simpler, since in the past Apple has just released 1 model with different storage sizes, however in the recent years, Apple has played a different game. Apple always come out with different models for the next new generation. Now choosing which one is the right one to buy seems a though task for many.
But don’t fret, I have compiled them in one glance so you can see them clearly. While the same list you can find directly on Apple website, in fact I’m getting the specs from the Apple website, but I have removed and reduced all unnecessary gimmicks that often confused you and people. Also, on Apple official website, you can only compare 3 iPhone at the same time, while here, you can see all iPhone 12 models within one swoop.

On the table comparisons below, I don’t include their prices – since prices typically different from one place to another place. Also on the color availability, please do check them on your local telco/smartphone shop whether the color of your choice is available.

So, have you decided which Apple iPhone 12 is right for you?
Now that you have seen all iPhone 12 series specs and compare them directly, have you decided which one is good for you?
If it’s for me, I’ll choose the new iPhone 12 Product Red. Reasons: The screen size is the right size for me, the price is still on reasonable level and the good thing this time is, Apple has used OLED on all its iPhone models (not only Pro models) and it has red color – I love red color so much!
