Your Essential Guide
Struggling to choose between the iPhone 12 and 14? Or wondering if a switch to the iPhone 14 is the right move for you? You aren't alone. They are two of the most popular phones that we stock here at Tech Tiger, and lots of our customers want to know how they compare.
Whether you are looking to buy an iPhone 14 refurbished by our team to replace an older model or this is your first time ever shopping for an iPhone 12, you’ll love this guide that compares the two in terms of performance, camera, and battery life.
Camera
Most of us take photos with our phones on a daily basis. Whether you want to capture some everyday moments or you are serious about photography, having a phone with a good camera can make all the difference.
The iPhone 12 and 14 have pretty similar specifications when it comes to their cameras. Both have a Dual 12MP (Wide + Ultra Wide) camera, giving you crisp, vibrant images. An iPhone 12 refurbished by us will satisfy anyone looking to capture great photos.
If you want to take things one step further, though, you may prefer the sensor improvements and better low-light performance the iPhone 14 provides.
Performance
Let’s get one thing straight: even older iPhones more than prove themselves when it comes to performance.
The iPhone 12 is going to serve you really well if you are looking for a phone that can support everyday apps, media and multitasking. It has an A14 bionic chip and comes with 256 GB of storage.
The iPhone does take things to the next level, though. It has an A15 Bionic (5-core GPU) chip and boasts 512 GB of storage. So if you want your phone to be able to do just that little bit more, the later model could be right for you.
Battery
Last but not least comes charging. When it comes to actually charging your phone, the iPhone 12 and 14 perform pretty much identically.
They both have great charging speeds, with both supporting up to 20W wired fast charging. In terms of battery life itself, that’s where the refurbished iPhone 14 pulls ahead, as you would expect from a newer model.
It has around 1.54 times more battery power than the 12, so you can expect a full charge to go further.
Buying Your Phone
No matter which phone you go for, you can take your pick from 4 different grades when you choose us.
They are:
- Grade A: Little to no damage, almost as good as new.
- Grade B: 2-4 very minor imperfections on average, very good condition.
- Grade C: Our most popular grade will have some more noticeable signs of wear and tear.
- Grade D: Some scratches and marks, but still in perfect working order.
Need some help choosing the right grade for you? That is where our experienced team comes in. They will be able to answer all of your questions about our iPhone grades, and after finding out more about your needs and your budget, will point you in the direction of the most appropriate one for you.
