The cheaper iPhone 11 and the perfect 12.
Even though I'm not sure which one to choose, there is also information that the iPhone 13 (tentative name), which will be released next year, will be a true game changer. Let's take a look.
Reason 1: The X55 will be equipped with the X60
The biggest selling point of the iPhone 12 is 5G, but in countries other than the United States, millimeter waves are not supported and sub-6 5G is unsatisfactory. Some people are It is said that if you buy a new iPhone for 5G, you should aim for the next model.
By then, the infrastructure for 5G will be in place, and Apple's licensing deal with Qualcomm during its $9 billion settlement will see Qualcomm 2nd generation with the iPhone 12 series. The 5G modem X55 will switch to the 3rd generation 60X and it will be released just next year.
While the original X50 was 10nm and the X55 was 7nm, the X60 uses a 5nm process, is smaller and thinner than the X55, consumes 15% less power, and increases the amount of processing per power by 30%. . The X55 cannot connect millimeter waves and sub-6 at the same time, but the X60 can connect simultaneously, and can also perform carrier aggregation of the FDD and TDD methods for the first time in the world, and can also combine various sub-6s for high-capacity communication. . Since it supports all major 5G frequency bands around the world, millimeter waves may come to Japan.
Reason 2: iPhone 12 has a smaller battery and shorter driving time than 11 Slightly different color. The specific capacity is not listed on the official website, but if you check the teardown video, the MUJI and 12 Pro are 2,815mAh, and the only larger one is the Pro Max, which is 3,687mAh. "The size determines the battery capacity."
The A14 Bionic chip, which has extremely low power consumption, is included, so it can be covered to some extent, but it is difficult to make up for this capacity difference, and it has been confirmed that the 12 batteries die before the iPhone 11 Pro in actual operation. I'm here. According to MacRumors tests, the 11 Pro has 14% remaining when the 12 runs out of battery, and the 11 Pro has 18% remaining when the 12 Pro runs out of battery.
When the X60 is installed next year, it is expected that the 5G modem chip will be smaller, which will free up space for the battery and improve power efficiency. Samsung's cheap Galaxy M11 successor is rumored to be a 7,000mAh battery beast, but I'd like the iPhone to be at least half that.
Reason 3: In-display Touch ID (fingerprint authentication)
Since the iPhone 12 has no fingerprint authentication and only unlocks face authentication, people who pass by saying that ``face authentication is impossible in Corona'' Moi so. If you select "Set Alternate Appearance" from "Face ID & Passcode" in Settings, you can register a masked face as a second face, but I'm a little worried that someone else's masked face can be unlocked. right.
If you feel that fingerprint authentication is better, try the iPhone SE 2nd generation that can authenticate fingerprints, or wait for the next model that is rumored to be equipped with a type of Touch ID that can authenticate fingerprints at the bottom of the screen. might be good too... It is known that there is a sign (not a confirmation) that MESA (Touch ID development code name) will soon be introduced in Mr. Ubu Yuritsuka's tweet.
Reason ④ Portless iPhone
It is said that the Lightning cable will finally disappear, and next year's iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max will be completely portless iPhones with no outlets. increase. The wireless charging MagSafe system appeared on the iPhone 12 as a prequel, but how far is it true?
Reason ⑤ 1TB iPhone
This is unconfirmed information about the famous leaker John Prossor. The iPhone 13 will finally have 1TB of storage. Samsung already has a 1TB smartphone, so it doesn't seem to be a completely unheard of story.
Reason ⑥ I can't repair my iPhone 12 myself
I feel like this is going to escalate with 13, but I can't repair my iPhone 12 myself. Non-regular repair shop is also useless. If you repair it unreasonably, the camera will stop working and various other problems will occur. In the video above, Hugh Jeffreys, an Australian repair specialist YouTuber, purchased two iPhone 12s of the same model and tested them by replacing the motherboard (from 7:00), but after replacing the power button. is no longer responding. When I plug in the cable, it turns on, but this time the face recognition died. I'm getting a non-genuine battery warning, the camera is freezing, and I can't focus, zoom, or panorama. "If you really care about the environment, you should make it repairable," complains Hugh.

Battery tape is all boozy. Turning the magnet upside down, she said, "The magnets are all made from recycled materials, and the fact that the charging adapter and headphones are no longer included in the box and makes the box smaller is also eco-friendly, but manufacturing a new smartphone is like using the same smartphone for 10 years. It takes a lot of energy, and there are more than 1 billion iPhones in use around the world, so making it easier to repair is the most eco-friendly way to do it.” If you buy with eco-consciousness, it's a little different. That perspective is also important.
