The Trusty Sidekick
In a world that seems to demand an upgrade every year, my iPhone 12 Pro has become a quiet act of rebellion.
It’s been my constant companion since 2020, and while the tech world races ahead with ever-new models, this one remains fast, capable, and dependable. It’s the core of my digital life — proof that good design outlasts trends.
Built to Last
When I first unboxed it, the iPhone 12 Pro felt like the future. The flat-edge stainless steel design, the Ceramic Shield front, the crisp Super Retina XDR display — everything about it felt refined and durable.
Four years later, that feeling hasn’t changed.
The A14 Bionic still handles everything effortlessly — messages, maps, Zoom calls, or photo edits — without a hint of slowdown.
The triple-camera system continues to impress, producing sharp, balanced shots and rich HDR video. It’s still my go-to camera for travel and everyday life, and it’s never made me wish for the latest model.
Everyday Reliability
This phone has quietly become the center of my EDC setup. It’s how I pay, navigate, message, and capture life.
The MagSafe feature, introduced with this model, remains one of Apple’s smartest ideas — wireless charging that actually feels seamless. I use it daily with a slim MagSafe case and charger; it just works.
Battery life has naturally aged, but it still lasts a full day of moderate use. When it eventually doesn’t, a battery replacement will extend its life far more sustainably than an upgrade ever could.
Still the Right Tool
My iPhone 12 Pro isn’t the newest, flashiest, or fastest anymore — and that’s the point.
It’s the kind of tool that quietly disappears into daily use, doing everything you ask of it without complaint.
Its edges are a little worn, the stainless steel has a few scuffs, but that’s what makes it mine.
In a culture built on upgrades, keeping something that still works perfectly feels like a small, satisfying act of resistance.
Until it truly can’t keep up, this trusty sidekick isn’t going anywhere.
