The iPhone 12 is a smaller device than its predecessor, while retaining the same 6.1-inch display size.įor most people, the iPhone 12 is the sweet spot in Apple’s smartphone lineup as far as size is concerned.

The aforementioned flat aluminum band that wraps around the exterior is decidedly on brand, and the color-matched glass back tops off a classic look. The iPhone 12 takes all of the good elements from the iPhone 4-era and combines them with the body of a modern iPhone.
IPHONE 11 PURPLE AND IPHONE 12 PURPLE FULL
In addition, Apple has launched brand-new spring case options for iPhone 12, and unsurprisingly, several of those options appear to cater to the purple exterior of Apple’s newest iPhone.Īs I noted in my full top features overview of the iPhone 12, this is my favorite smartphone design ever. The launch of the purple iPhone 12 also means that users gain access to new purple live wallpaper, which perfectly complements the deep lavender exterior of the iPhone 12. It’s unfortunate for people who would have preferred this color at the iPhone 12 launch, but perhaps Apple was hoping the new colorway would add a boost to iPhone 12 sales (although it seems like Apple is doing just fine in that area). Obviously the purple color does nothing for the iPhone 12 in the way of performance or capability, but I think it’s probably the best-looking iPhone 12 color configuration available. Just last year, the iPhone 11 launched with a purple color option, although the design of the iPhone 12’s flat iPhone 4-era antenna bands makes the purple contrast and stand out more than it did on the iPhone 11.
