iPhone 12

The iPhone 12 has a 6.1-inch display with a 2532 x 1170 pixel resolution. It has two cameras, a wide angle and ultra-wide angle lens.

It features Apple’s A14 Bionic chip, Face ID, and a claimed 17 hour battery life. It comes in 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB of storage, and also supports 5G.

Network deals:

Sky or Virgin Media offer the best deals for those concerned about upfront costs, as the phone comes free and is paid off as part of the contract.

O2 allows for mixing-and-matching of payment plans, so has the most flexible of all the models and is worth exploring.

Three offers the best monthly costs for the first six months and has unlimited data, but means that buyers might be stretched in the long-term of a 24-month contract.

It’s also worth noting that some contracts also offer additional extras for a certain amount of time. EE, Vodafone, and O2 offers contracts with free months of Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ or Apple Music. Virgin Media, meanwhile, allows users to pay for a pair of Apple AirPods for an additional £1 per month.
