The new iPhone 12 is finally out and many are now asking if they should buy it or stick with their iPhone 11?
Last October 13, Apple held its "Hi, Speed" event where the company launched the new iPhone 12 family, the HomePod mini, and the MagSafe line of accessories. Industry observers, for some time now, believe that Apple is grooming the new iPhone 12 as the successor to its popular iPhone 11. The throng of new features seems to tell customers to let go of their iPhone 11 and opt for an iPhone 12. To help you decide which of the two iPhones you should buy, you need to examine your lifestyle so you can determine the one that would suit you best.
Even before its launch, tiny bits of information about Apple's new iPhone 12 already leaked online and devoured by hordes of observers. While these pieces of information were merely rumors, there were many instances in the past wherein rumors turned out to be true, and it also helped many in arriving at a decision whether they should stick it out with their old iPhones or get a new one. There are some, however, who say that new features are not enough to make them exchange their old iPhone 11 for the new iPhone 12.
What are the factors that you must consider then so you can determine whether to get Apple's new iPhone 12 or stick with your iPhone 11? Although some may say that new features are not enough, it is obvious that this factor really comes to play. Both the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 have a 6.1-inch display, Haptic Touch, dual 12 MP Ultra Wide and Wide cameras with night mode, Face ID, 4GB of RAM and also available in 64GB to 256 GB variants, aerospace-grade aluminum, and extended battery life that lasts up to 17 hours of video watch time.

When you consider these features, you might say there is not much difference between Apple's new iPhone 12 and the iPhone 11, which may even make you decide to stick with the old one. However, when you factor in iPhone 12 new features like OLED Super Retina XDR display with HDR, A14 Bionic chip, Smart HDR 3 for photos, Ceramic Shield front, 5G connectivity, and water resistance of up to a depth of six meters for up to 30 minutes, then you might start to seriously consider getting the new iPhone 12 or exchanging your iPhone 11 for the new device.
The new iPhone 12 Pro even has more features that improve many aspects particularly in areas of photo quality, LiDAR sensor, as well as material design. Nevertheless, you also need to determine if you truly need these features, or if the new iPhone 12 features match your lifestyle in a way that will make you easily ditch iPhone 11 for the new device.
