Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, because even in 2026, the iPhone 12 will still be one of the most reasonably priced mid-range refurbished iPhones. The 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display provides exceptional picture quality, while Face ID on the device works without any hitch. Moreover, the dual camera equipped in the phone with optical image stabilization technology captures amazing photos. Finally, the powerful A14 Bionic chip handles most of the everyday activities effortlessly.

In the context of the iPhone 12, we have the screen size, which is 6.1 inches, and then the Super Retina XDR OLED display technology, but when it comes to the iPhone SE (2022), the screen size is 4.7 inches, and the Retina HD LCD technology is employed. With OLED display technology, you will get the black levels, infinite contrast ratio, and color accuracy, which is impossible with LCDs.

Yes. The iPhone 12 was the first iPhone line to support 5G. In Ireland, it works with the sub-6 GHz 5G networks of all major mobile carriers.

Face ID is a new type of security that relies on facial recognition developed by Apple for use in the iPhone 12 line. This technology utilizes the TrueDepth camera from Apple to create a secure 3D image of your face. With Face ID, one can unlock the phone, pay via Apple Pay, and download apps from the App Store.

The iPhone 12's 12MP dual-camera system continues to produce excellent results thanks to Apple's A14 Bionic image signal processor and computational photography algorithms. Despite a lower megapixel count than many Android competitors, real-world photo quality — particularly in low light, portrait mode, and video — is competitive with Android phones carrying 50MP to 108MP sensors. Apple's software processing consistently elevates the hardware beyond what the specification suggests.

Indeed. The IP68 has improved waterproof properties over the IP67 since the former has been tested in labs. The iPhone 12 has an IP68 rating since it has the ability to resist submersion in water at a depth of up to 6 meters for up to 30 minutes. However, water damage is not included in the warranty plan.

Yes. The iPhone 12 was the first iPhone to include MagSafe — Apple's magnetic wireless charging standard. MagSafe chargers attach magnetically to the back of the iPhone 12 and charge at up to 15W. MagSafe accessories, including cases, wallets, and mounts, also attach magnetically. Standard Qi wireless charging is also supported at up to 7.5W.

Most users will be well served with 128GB storage, which is sufficient for several apps, plenty of photos and videos, and also offline data. If you shoot many pictures using your camera, then you will find 64GB insufficient after about 12–18 months. If you regularly record 4K videos, 256GB is the better choice.

Apple has been providing software updates for iPhones for many years. Nevertheless, the phone still offers the latest compatible version of iOS, but Apple has not yet set a specific period after which the support of the software will end.

Yes. There is an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) chip called U1 by Apple, which allows using such functions as AirDrop and Precision Finding with AirTags.

Though the iPhone 17E has the most recent chip from Apple equipped with the latest technology, the iPhone 12 is affordable with a high-class OLED screen, along with Face ID and other advanced functions.

Available now from Fone4U with free 1–2 day delivery and an 18-month warranty. In-store at Fone4U Ballina, Sligo, and Bray.
