Although, we aren\u2019t too sure yet about what to expect, we do have some rumors which give us a nice clean idea of what the newest, Apple smartphone, is going to look like. And this just makes the wait, all the more exciting. We\u2019re personally, hyperventilating from the excitement!<\/p>\n<p>From 5G to OLED Screens, the phone is just promising too much for the average Apple user to pass up. Anyone in their right mind (and a heavy wallet) would just jump at the opportunity to grab that phone. But then again, the phone is a couple of months away to say the least. And we have to be honest, it\u2019s a difficult task in itself to wait for buying a new phone for even a week, let alone a few months. When you need that phone, you just need it. The excitement makes it too difficult to wait.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3814\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esrgear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/timg.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone 12 VS iPhone 11\" width=\"348\" height=\"222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.esrgear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/timg.jpg 640w, https:\/\/static.esrgear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/timg-300x191.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 348px) 100vw, 348px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So in this article, we\u2019re going to compare, based off of the rumors currently flying around, whether you should wait for buying the new iPhone 12 or just settle for buying an iPhone 11. We\u2019re hopeful that this article will help you come to a concrete decision of buying you, your new phone. It\u2019s time for us to compare the two models and their pros and cons.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5G<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with one of the most certain features this phone is going to be deployed with. Even though we haven\u2019t received any official confirmation about it, it\u2019s safe to say that the new iPhone 12 will most probably be equipped with one of the most wanted features in the market; 5G! Even though 5G isn\u2019t as widespread as 4G at the moment, the forecast is that in the next year or two, 5G will be providing a lot more coverage and is going to become a routine thing. At the moment, the coverage isn\u2019t as extensive for 5G technology and you can\u2019t get a 5G signal in most places. And even if you do, it\u2019s not all that amazing as it\u2019s hyped up to be. There isn\u2019t even too much of a difference between 4G LTE and 5G. So you can settle for the iPhone 11 too right? But here\u2019s the catch; in the next year or two, 5G will be a lot more widespread. And when that happens, 5G will be here to stay further for the next few years where 4G will become obsolete. <strong>So, if you were to get the iPhone 12, you\u2019ll still be able to make use of it for a few years as opposed to an iPhone 11 which will limit your internet wants in the years to come. Also, think of the re-sale value of both the phones too in the next one or two years.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>OLED Screens<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Everyone likes aesthetics. If a phone or anything else for that matter doesn\u2019t catch your eye on the first look, chances are you won\u2019t look at it a second time. The same thing could apply for when the screen on your phone lights up. It\u2019s not difficult to admit that better colors on your screen won\u2019t catch your attention or that of the person standing next to you. Another thing we\u2019re highly anticipating is the fact that the traditional LCD screens are about to be replaced with new, OLED screens. That means deeper black, more vibrant colors and smoother scrolling. <strong>The high end models of the iPhone 12 will most probably be equipped with ProMotion technology. That means better video results and streaming experiences. Not to mention, better gaming experiences too. With the boom in the mobile gaming market as well, the offer of an OLED screen just becomes a lot more appealing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>A14 Chip<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>2 other hot topics and emerging markets in the technology world are Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Augmented Reality (AR). AI and AR are forecasted to be a major part of our everyday lives in the coming years. You know what else makes this more appealing? The iPhone 12 is expected to come equipped with an A14 chip, only for the core reason that it\u2019ll enhance AI and AR related tasks. An A14 chip means faster processing and it also means that it\u2019ll take your phone lesser time to map the environment around you. That means a much refined AR experience since you won\u2019t have to hover your phone around to map the environment. This experience will double with the LiDAR scanner which will enable you to launch into AR apps almost instantly. The iPhone 11 is equipped with an A13 chip. That means in the coming years, the support for the A13 chip will stop too, making the phone obsolete.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A Better Camera<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, the new iPhone 12 series will come equipped with better cameras. Do you know why we\u2019re hopeful? Because Apple has a history of constantly upgrading its products. Every phone that comes into the market is better than the previous one. The higher end models of the new iPhone are expected to be equipped with an improved Telephoto lens which allow you an optical zoom of 3x as opposed to 2x in the iPhone 11. Sounds appealing, doesn\u2019t it? To top it off, Apple most probably intends to improve it\u2019s Smart HDR to you can get better performance from the camera in places with lower light.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A Better Design<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s rumored that the new iPhone 12 will come equipped with a stainless steel frame with flat glass on the front and back. The steel frame will be flat as they were with the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5. I think it\u2019s safe to say that we all loved that design. Also, the iPhone 12 is expected to be a lot more compact with the 5.4-inch screen which will allow you to use the phone with one hand. Whereas the highest end model of the iPhone 12 is expected to have a 6.7-inch display, making it the biggest iPhone up to date. That\u2019s a lot of variation in phones of the same series. Also, don\u2019t forget the new color that\u2019s about to be introduced; Navy Blue. You have to admit; a navy blue color would look good on an iPhone. With the iPhone 11, you\u2019ll be getting the older design and A midnight green color, which is pretty good looking in itself too. But a Navy blue one does sound better.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Wait<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Yes it\u2019s true that you\u2019ll have to wait for the iPhone 12 till it\u2019s launched in the market. Potentially we\u2019re looking at 2-3 months for the launch. However, a report says that due to the pandemic, the production is facing some problems which could cause a slight delay. But we haven\u2019t received any official confirmation on this at the same time. So, is it really worth waiting for the new iPhone 12? Well according to us, definitely! With those features and considering the longevity along with comparing the two models, the iPhone 12 for sure, sounds like the better investment!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>You May Also Like to Read:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esrgear.com\/blog\/best-case-covers-for-iphone-12-pro-12-mini\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Best Case Covers for iPhone 12\/12 Pro\/12 mini in 2020<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<h4><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esrgear.com\/blog\/10-must-have-iphone-11-pro-max-accessories-in-2019-ultimate-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">10 MUST HAVE iPhone 11 Pro Max Accessories (Ultimate Guide)<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<div id=\"metaslider-id-3863\" style=\"width: 100%;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-16-4 metaslider metaslider-flex metaslider-3863 ml-slider\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_3863\">\n        <div id=\"metaslider_3863\">\n            <ul aria-live=\"polite\" class=\"slides\">\n                <li style=\"display: block; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-10347 ms-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esrgear.com\/tech-community\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.esrgear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Blog-M_03.jpg\" height=\"300\" width=\"1400\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-3863 slide-10347\" title=\"Blog-M_03\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-10350 ms-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esrgear.com\/tech-community\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.esrgear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Blog-M_05.jpg\" height=\"300\" width=\"1400\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-3863 slide-10350\" title=\"Blog-M_05\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-8453 ms-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esrgear.com\/?esr-from=blog-in\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.esrgear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/1-2.jpg\" height=\"300\" width=\"1400\" alt=\"iphone 14\" class=\"slider-3863 slide-8453\" title=\"iphone 14\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-10046 ms-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esrgear.com\/iphone-13-cases\/?esr-from=blog-in\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.esrgear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2-2.jpg\" height=\"300\" width=\"1400\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-3863 slide-10046\" title=\"2-2\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The hype these days about the iPhone12 is just crazy and at an all-time high as we get closer and closer to the launch every day.
