iPhone
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I have had a number of iPhones. This one, however, has been very “glitchy” It has dropped calls, not completed calls , screen frozen Deleted messages or never sent text messages when indicated they were sent Some messages have been deleted I’ve always trusted the reliability of apple products. I have had 2 separate lengthy calls with apple care. One to do an update , the other to wipe it clean and reboot. I’m still having a few issues. When they occur I have shut phone down and restart. Not good! FYI the photo I sent shows a frozen screen. It did not respond to touch

Improved performance with iPhone 12
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Upgraded from iPhone 6 to this 12. Very happy with much improved performance vs. the iPhone 6. The newer IOS takes a little getting used to but easy to adapt to. Glad to be on the newest IOS to be able to take advantage of the latest features. All apps/data were transferred from old iPhone to this phone in the Best Buy store at the time of purchase and took under 1 hour. Unfortunately, not all the contacts came across automatically, so that has required some extra work. Battery life much improved over older iPhone.

One bad Apple!
||Posted .My iPhone 7 probably just had it’s very last IOS update. The salesman suggested the 12 because I don’t do gaming, videos, or watch TV on my phone. It was also easier on my retirement budget which meant a lot. I’m very happy with my new phone. It is, however, taking a lot of getting used to. The changes from 7 to 12 are endless. I learn something new every day!

iPhone 12 128GB easy but miss features on iPhone 7
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.What I thought. Upgrading to a new iPhone. Considered mini but seemed too small for aging eyes. Wished it had a finger print sensor as when I check the phone at night the face recognition does not work. Also if wearing a mask it does my work either which make apple/google pay not easy and you have to enter your passcode. Otherwise transfer from old phone was easy and I did it myself.

My Take on iPhone 12
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Other than not having headphone jack, I haven’t found anything I did not like about this phone yet. The way some things in it function are definitely an adjustment and that has made both Google search and YouTube my new best friends. The photos are amazing and I love how it doesn’t let calls or notifications come through while I’m resting. Thanks to that I can FINALLY get a good night’s sleep. If you have a non-Bluetooth car, like me, you’ll definitely need to buy a dual audio splitter in order to run the phone through your car’s audio system. Either that or use Bluetooth headphones. But overall I love this phone!

iPhone 12 reviewThe iPhone 12 sports a gorgeous new design, full 5G support, great cameras and even better performance. However, the lack of a charger in box and limited base storage are drawbacks.
