When I'm not testing phones for Tom's Guide, an iPhone 12 currently serves as my trusty personal handheld. Sadly, though, after years of faithful service, my iPhone is indicating that it's ready to head for the big trade-in program in the sky.
It's not a performance issue, as the A14 Bionic powering the phone can still handle what I throw at it. Yes, the battery is older, but I can still get through the day on a full charge. And despite the fact that the phone has slipped out of my hands more times than I care to count — and even gone for an unscheduled swim in the Russian River — there's no noticeable wear and tear on this very durable device.
