As you probably already know, Apple no longer sells the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max and has lowered the prices of the iPhone XR and iPhone 11. This has left the widest range of iPhones in its history, with prices that can compete with virtually any segment. market.
The new arrival of models has meant the exit from the "classification" of the iPhone 8, while the iPhone XR and iPhone SE remain in the race (although we do not doubt that if the iPhone mini will be a success, the iPhone SE will also come out. from the list, especially now that they all have the same layout).
The iPhone 11 for € 689 (64 GB) and the iPhone 12 for € 909 (64 GB)
While they aren't in order of priority for Apple (you know a phone matters when it has its own content page instead of jumping straight to the purchase page), we rank them by price from highest to lowest.
Table of models and prices of phones sold by Apple in 2020:
| Model / Capacity | 64 GB | 128 GB | 256 GB | 512 GB |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 12 Pro Max | - | €1.259 | €1.379 | €1.609 |
| iPhone 12 Pro | - | €1.159 | €1.279 | €1.509 |
| iPhone 12 | €909 | €959 | €1079 | - |
| 12 iPhone Mini | €809 | €859 | €979 | - |
| iPhone 11 | €689 | €739 | €859 | - |
| iPhone Xr | €589 | €639 | - | - |
| iPhone SE | €489 | €539 | €659 | - |
If we look at the prices of the models presented last year, the iPhone 11 Pro Max started at € 1.159, the iPhone 11 Pro from € 1.125 and the iPhone 11 from € 809.
That is, the most expensive model (iPhone 12 Pro Max) was cheaper by 100 € than last year (it is true that it does not include the plug or headphones), the iPhone 12 Pro has lowered the price by almost 30 € and the iPhone 12 is up € 100 from last year (although it doesn't even include headphones or charger).
Although, as we have already said, eliminating plugs and headphones without lowering the price, advocating environmental awareness is a difficult hoax to digest, what Apple has done, if you look at the table that we have created, is to create a price scaling. that Be consistent as you increase power and capacity.
As a general rule, 64GB of extra capacity translates to € 60 more in price, whatever the model (so 128GB increases by € 120 in price and 256GB increases by € 240).
However, many users are struggling in a € 200 dilemma… a 11 iPhone 2019 for € 689 or a 12 iPhone 2020 for € 909?
We will compare both models to try to help:
What's more interesting, iPhone 11 or iPhone 12? This is the information:
Design and materials
The iPhone 12 incorporates a new design, although for many it is a recycling of the iPhone 5S, due to its flat sides. The iPhone 11 has rounded edges.
The novelty of the iPhone 12 is MagSafe, although it does not refer to the well-known (and abandoned ... and coveted!) Magnetic door of the MacBook, but to the incorporation of a magnet on the back of the phone, which helps to repair the magnetic charger and others. accessories for faster charging, although it still has the usual Lightning port for wired charging. The iPhone 11 does not have MagSafe, although it can also be charged via induction, but it is a slower charging and that, in general, does not work if you have a protective case.
Apple's new protective cases feature MagSafe support, so you can charge your phone without removing them. We can expect a flurry of new accessories compatible with this technology.
The iPhone 12 also incorporates ultra-strong ceramic glass as a novelty (it improves breaking strength four times in the event of a drop, according to Apple) - the iPhone 11 continues with Gorilla glass. Water resistance has also been improved compared to the iPhone 11, despite being IP68, it allows diving up to 6 meters deep, compared to the three meters that the iPhone 11 allows.
The iPhone 12 (164g.) Is lighter than the iPhone 11 (194g.), Despite having the same screen size.
The colors have changed from generation to generation. While the iPhone 12 comes in five finishes: Black, White, Product Red, Green, and Blue, the iPhone 11 is also available in yellow and purple, but not blue, and the red and green versions are different.
Features and functionality

Although the cameras are basically the same, the iPhone 12 includes an f / 1.6 aperture with Smart HDR 3 for photos and can shoot HDR video with Dolby Vision.
Obviously the iPhone 12 has the A14 Bionic chip with the new Neural Engine. It's a six-core CPU and quad-core GPU which, according to Apple, is up to 50% faster than other phones. Apple doesn't specify which phones it measured speed on, but it's certainly faster than the iPhone 11, which has the A13 Bionic chip.
Apple's emphasis that iPhones are 5G compatible is probably exaggerated. It is true that in the future 5G will change communications and perhaps even entertainment, but today its presence and accessibility in our lives can be labeled as 'shy', being generous. For those who don't live in a big city, it will take years for 5G to become a differentiator.
Unlike 3G technology, where Apple was lagging behind, this time around it made sure that no one could leave you out of the picture for not being compatible with the great communications marketing of the 20s.
The iPhone 12's screen (called Super Retina XDR) has a higher resolution, supports 120 nit HDR, and has a contrast of 2.000.000: 1. If you don't know what that means, it's probably because you've never needed it. Put simply, it means it looks extraordinarily good.
The iPhone 12 screen is OLED, while the iPhone 11 screen is IPS LCD.
Here is a table comparing the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 11:

Conclusion
Nobody can argue that the brand new iPhone 12 is a better device than the iPhone 11. That's not it. It is clear that it is an impressive device.
The important question is whether the $ 200 difference will mean you'll have more fun with the device. Whether those two hundred euros will allow you to play more smoothly, or if the films you record appear to be from Hollywood itself, or that the films or series you see will feel absolutely immersed in the tracing.
If you can afford it and have identified with one of those clubs, you should buy it. If you email, browse occasionally, and take pictures at birthdays (and why they ask you to), you don't need an iPhone 12 at all.
Speaking of 5G… you have time. Speaking of MagSafe… you can wait. On the ceramic glass… put a good protective cover and a sheet of tempered glass on top.
We hope it helps you
