This was the first iPhone generation to feature OLED screens across the entire lineup, making the base 12 a massive upgrade over the 11. It remains the baseline recommendation for prepaid carriers.
Questions? Please let us know. We are here to help.
The base iPhone 12 is currently worth ~$130. Data shows that once devices drop below $120, they stagnate for years. You are currently in the final window to get a significant return before it becomes a purely budget hand-me-down device.
