You can also follow us on Twitter<\/a> for breaking news stories.<\/p>\n I’m still waiting for my iPhone 12, but the lucky early reviewers – including my colleague Mattias Inghe, whose iPhone 12 review<\/a> I’d strongly advise you to read – have already vomited their thoughts into the howling void we call the internet.<\/p>\n Mattias reports that the new A14 chip “puts iPhone at the top of the performance throne right now”, pitching it at roughly the level of a business laptop for pure processing power and at the level of a previous-generation console for graphics. But he warns that 5G, the new handsets’ flagship upgrade, “is not at all as hot an upgrade as you might think, as the vast majority of users are unlikely to benefit much from the new technology yet”.<\/p>\n It’s a tough sell, marketing-wise, because 5G really isn’t ready for the truly mass market yet – there simply isn’t enough coverage outside the biggest cities. (This is leaving aside related worries, like 5G reducing battery life by 20%<\/a>, or the fact that 5G currently doesn’t work on iPhone if you use dual SIM cards<\/a>) But this is a future-proofing exercise for when the coverage is<\/em> there: a dull but necessary inclusion that somehow has to be jazzed up as a game-changer.<\/p>\n Still: it’s a great phone with much to recommend it.
