Apart from being a social status marker, of course, what makes this smartphone with the 'bitten-apple' logo become very popular in the world, even in Indonesia?
An overview of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13
As top gadgets, both iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 are smartphone lines from Apple that represent each generation.
The older brother, the iPhone 12, comes from the 14th generation which was released at the end of 2020 with various versions, namely the iPhone 12 Mini, Pro, and Pro Max.
Then after a year, the iPhone 13 came with a refresh as well as an Apple phone that represented the 15th generation.
Just like the iPhone 12, they also launched this one smartphone with various choices, namely the iPhone 13 Pro, Pro Max, and Mini.
Since its launch, this smartphone duo from Apple has received a very mixed reception.
Starting from the widget feature on the latest operating system to the absence of a charger head in the purchase package.
What's the Difference between iPhone 12 and iPhone 13?
When viewed from the generation, it is clear that the iPhone 13 brings several feature updates that its predecessor may not be able to accommodate.
However, if the price is not much different, namely at Rp. 12 - Rp. 13 million, in fact the two iPhones do not have a significant difference.
Processor
iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 are each planted with a hexa-core chip from a different generation. The iPhone 12 has an Apple A14 Bionic processor, while the iPhone 13 has an Apple A15 Bionic processor.
But what about the performance? From tests conducted by Geekbench, it turns out that both the A14 and A15 only experience a performance spike of up to 7-8%.
Where A14 is at 1572, while A15 is at 1691 on single core. In addition, Apple's operating system also plans to add the iOS 16 update to these two smartphones.
Dimensions and Body
In terms of size, both have the same dimensions, namely 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.7 mm. But in terms of weight, the iPhone 12 is 10 grams lighter than the iPhone 13.
But both of them have been coated with Gorilla Glass both on the sides of the screen and buttocks.
In addition, both have also been coated with IP68 dust and water resistance up to 6 meters for 30 minutes.
Both are also equipped with scratch-resistant ceramic glass and oleophobic coating, to prevent oil traces on the screen.
For the SIM holder, both also have two SIM slot options, namely dual nano-SIM and single nano-SIM.
Memory
Just like the previous iPhone series, Apple is still reluctant to provide an external memory card slot and prefers to develop a smartphone with 4GB RAM with various internal memory options.
The difference is that the iPhone 13 has a larger internal memory option, which is up to 512GB, while the iPhone 12 is only able to provide a maximum internal space of up to 256GB.
Screen
One of the advantages of iPhone products is their wide color gamut range, so that the color accuracy can reach 100% which certainly helps those of you who currently work as graphic designers.
In addition, both of them are also equipped with Super Retina XDR OLED and HDR10 with Dolby Vision which further enriches the color accuracy when making videos.
However, the screen density at the high brightness level of the monitor or in outdoor conditions, the iPhone 12 has a smaller screen density than the iPhone 13, which is 625 nits and 800 nits, respectively.
But you have to be disappointed, for the refresh rate performance of these two highest caste smartphones where the refresh rate has not touched the 120 Hz figure, so if you use a stylus there is still quite noticeable latency.
Camera
Even though they look the same, if you notice, the rear cameras of these two iPhones have different camera positions.
iPhone 13 has a diagonal camera position, each of which has a resolution of 12 MP with the other camera being an ultra wide camera.
While the iPhone 12 has a camera position that is parallel to the same resolution, which is 12 MP. Even for the selfie camera, the two also do not have a significant difference, which is still equipped with a 12 MP camera.
Durability
iPhone 13 has a higher level of power longevity than its older brother, iPhone 12. Where the iPhone 13 has a battery power of 3240 mAh, while the iPhone 12 is only around 2815 mAh.
