Does the iPhone 12 support 5G in Estonia?

Yes, the iPhone 12 fully supports 5G networks with all Estonian operators (Telia, Elisa, Tele2).

How long will the iPhone 12 receive software updates?

Based on Apple's history, the iPhone 12 should receive new iOS versions until autumn 2026 and security patches until 2027.

Is the iPhone 12 waterproof?

Yes, the device has an IP68 rating, meaning it is water-resistant up to 6 meters for 30 minutes. For used devices, water resistance may be reduced due to wear of the seals.

Is 64GB of storage enough in 2026?

For a typical user, 64GB might be insufficient if you store a lot of 4K videos or photos. We recommend using iCloud cloud service or choosing the 128GB model.

Yes, the iPhone 12 was the first model with a built-in MagSafe magnetic ring for wireless charging and attaching accessories.

How does the iPhone 12's battery life compare to newer models?

The iPhone 12 has a smaller battery than the iPhone 13 or 14 models. With active use, especially on 5G, the device may need charging before the end of the day.
