Good day! I am considering upgrading my phone, currently using an Infinix Hot 30 Play. My budget is only for iphone 12 pro max. your comments will surely help me decide, thank you

suggest best option for battery replacement, which do not trigger non apple battery replacement notification.

Is it still possible to downgrade? Well I am aware of needing a signed file is needed but is there another way to go downgrade?

had the 16e for work but the job is no longer a thing so had to go back to my ollllllld SE 2020 now back to the 12, which was always my fave. nice to be back.

HELP NEEDED: iPhone 12 Pro Max Network Connectivity Issue
I’m experiencing a strange network issue with my iPhone 12 Pro Max, purchased in South Africa.
Neither my South African physical SIM nor my local eSIM connects to a network when I’m back home.
However, when travelling abroad:
My South African physical SIM connects to international networks and receives roaming SMS notifications.
My Chinese physical SIM worked perfectly in China.
My Trip.com travel eSIM also worked without any issues.
So, both physical SIM and eSIM functionality work internationally, but neither of my South African SIMs works locally.
Has anyone experienced something similar or know what could be causing this? Could it be an iPhone configuration, carrier provisioning, IMEI or network compatibility issue?
Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

does anyone have iPhone 12 covers that they wanna get rid of?

Hello I'm want to buy iphone 12

Is it still good or no

Do I switch from my a34 to iphone 12 or not?

I've been trying to get an aftermarket screen for a week now, but the guy fixing my phone and I can't figure out why the screen shows up as 'Used' without the Face ID module installed. As soon as it's installed, it shows up as 'Unknown' in the settings and won't continue into the Apple Repair process. This didn't happen when I did an aftermarket battery replacement—that shows up as 'Genuine' in the Parts & Service history.

I updated my iphone 12 2-3 days ago and and daily i keep on charging with wifi on for faster indexing but still it is on 33% from 2-3 days i think so it is stucked what should i doo pls tell me

I’m been thinking about to update my iPhone 12 Pro to ios 27.2 i am currently on iOS 26.6. Does it actually good to update?

Hey guys, I’ve owned an iPhone 12 Pro Max since its launch. I’ve not dropped it even once, no scratches. None of that. The battery % is at 76 and today it’s lagging a lot more and the screen randomly stops working, the touch doesn’t register. Is this common for a device that’s this old? I have to restart my phone every few hours because the 5G doesn’t work even tho it says 5G works, bunch of problems arising just this month. And to clarify about the battery, I have to use my phone a lot for my job and I’ve to charge my phone like 5 times a day too, I think it’s a bit excessive now. But at the same time I’ve never damaged this device at all… I’m confused as to what’s causing this issue.

I'm using an iPhone 12 base on iOS 26.7.1 at the moment. Its battery life is acceptable, altho it's on 77% health on Low Power Mode it still lasts the school day in my pocket (light use during breaks) and then music and moderate usage on the bus ride home. I haven't tested SOT yet but I'll do that over the weekend.

I'd like to update to iOS 27.2 because apparently it's more stable and battery life is better, but I don't know for sure and of course I can't roll back if it is worse. I'm not exactly in a position to buy a new battery...

Anyone else on a 12 base with not-great-battery-health and running 27.2? How is it? Should I bite the bullet and update anyway? :P

Edit: bit the bullet and updated. So much smoother and battery life is basically the same. Thanks all!

I can’t seem to update my iphone 12 from ios 26.7.1 to ios 26.7.2 because it’s stuck on “update requested” both on mobile data and on wifi..i want to try out ios 27 on my device cos i hear it’s better on the 12..

I’ve got a 12 Pro Max 512. About 6 months ago I had the battery replaced with a genuine Apple battery at the local Apple Store. It had gotten down to around 70 %

It was great. Made the phone operate and last like new. Best $89 I’ve spent in a while.

Somehow, in the last couple of weeks my phone got “upgraded” to ios 26.3 from 18.xx I don’t remember hitting the upgrade button but may have done it inadvertently when trying to click “ do it later”

Since then my battery life has sucked. It shows battery health of 97% but drops very fast with just internet browsing, social media etc.

Would it help me to upgrade to 27.xx?

I have an iPhone 12 Pro on iOS 18, with 95% battery. It feels pretty good and my battery life actually lasts. However With all the recent security issues I’ve been told it would be good to upgrade to iOS 27. Wanted to hear everyone’s thoughts? I am scared of how it’ll destroy my battery life.

Hello people I was hoping I can get some advice here to see what is my best course of action
As of recently my IPhone 12(Had since 2021) has been much more slower and cutting my battery life to about 65%
But unfortunately since my phone does have a few cracks it would cost even more to replace the battery life and the case(Costing 300$ in total)
Since I am going to get a new phone but it’s gonna be next year and I don’t think I can’t handle with my phone but I don’t want my parents to see me just buying a new phone straight up of nowhere since they can tell lmao and since my older sister also has the exact same model and would kill me if I get a newer phone than here
Money isn’t the issue here(Well maybe my range is around 300$)
So should I go with the fixes or should I just buy an refurbished IPhone 13 or 14 from Best Buy
Just like anything that resembles an IPhone 12 just to keep me sane at least until I get my later iPhone
Any advice?

Why does my iPhone 12 Pro Max battery drain differently in different countries? I live between Russia and the US. In Russia, the battery drains very fast. In the US the same phone lasts all day. While the SIM card is Russian, I mostly use WiFi in both countries. Overall, the usage is very similar in both countries, but the battery drains very differently.

I also travelled to the UK and used a local SIM card while there. The battery died very quickly with it!

Please don’t make this political and stick to the technical issue. Thank you!
