What is the iPhone 12?
The iPhone 12 launched in October 2020 and delivered two landmark upgrades that no previous iPhone had: 5G connectivity and an OLED display on the standard (non-Pro) model for the first time. Before the iPhone 12, you had to buy the more expensive Pro version to get OLED. Apple changed that — and the result was a standard iPhone with a dramatically better screen, sharper contrast, deeper blacks, and more vibrant colours than anything in the iPhone 11 lineup.
The iPhone 12 also brought a completely new flat-edge design — the same squared-off aluminium frame first seen on the iPhone 4 and 5, returning after years of rounded edges. It made the phone feel more premium and easier to hold. Combined with Ceramic Shield front glass (four times better drop performance than before) and IP68 water resistance, the 12 is a physically robust phone.
In Ghana, the iPhone 12 occupies a strong position in the mid-range: it has OLED, 5G, a fast A14 Bionic chip, and iOS 18 support — all at GHS 3,000 for a verified UK-used unit. It is the most affordable iPhone at PixelDrop GH with both OLED and 5G, making it the natural step up from the iPhone 11 for buyers who want future-proof connectivity and a noticeably better screen.

iPhone 12 in Ghana — Real-World Use
The iPhone 12 works on all Ghanaian networks immediately after inserting your SIM. 5G connects on MTN Ghana's network where deployed and falls back to 4G LTE everywhere else — no setting changes needed.
OLED vs LCD — the real difference in Ghana: The jump from the iPhone 11's LCD to the iPhone 12's OLED is immediately visible. Blacks are deep rather than backlit grey. Contrast is striking — text on dark backgrounds, photos with shadows, and videos all look dramatically better. In a side-by-side comparison, most people immediately prefer the iPhone 12 display. For watching content on YouTube, Netflix, or local streaming services, OLED makes a genuine difference.
The flat-edge design: The iPhone 12's squared-off aluminium frame is easier to grip than the rounded iPhone 11. It also sits flat on a desk rather than rocking slightly. Combined with Ceramic Shield front glass — four times more drop-resistant than previous glass — the iPhone 12 is meaningfully more durable in real Ghana daily-carry conditions.
Battery — the honest truth: The iPhone 12's 2,815 mAh battery is smaller than the iPhone 11's 3,110 mAh. In heavy use — significant WhatsApp, social media, video — some users find the 12 falls short of a full day. UK-used Grade A units from PixelDrop GH have battery health above 83%. If battery life is your top priority, consider the iPhone 13 (3,227 mAh) at GHS 500 more.
A14 Bionic in 2025: The iPhone 12's A14 Bionic was the world's first 5nm chip and remains fast in 2025. Every app on the Ghana App Store runs smoothly, games perform well, and multitasking is seamless. The iPhone 12 will receive iOS updates through at least 2026.
iPhone 12 vs 11 vs 13 — Which to Buy in Ghana?
| Feature | iPhone 11 | iPhone 12 | iPhone 13 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chip | A13 Bionic | A14 Bionic | A15 Bionic |
| Display | 6.1" LCD | 6.1" OLED | 6.1" OLED |
| Resolution | 326 ppi | 460 ppi | 460 ppi |
| 5G | No | Yes | Yes |
| Night Mode | Yes | Yes | Yes (Ultra Wide too) |
| Battery | 3,110 mAh | 2,815 mAh | 3,227 mAh |
| MagSafe | No | Yes | Yes |
| iOS Max | iOS 17 | iOS 18 | iOS 18 |
| PixelDrop Price | GHS 2,700 | GHS 3,000 | GHS 3,500 |
Buy iPhone 11 if battery life is your top priority and you do not care about OLED or 5G. GHS 300 cheaper than the 12.
Buy iPhone 12 if OLED and 5G matter at the lowest possible price. The screen upgrade over the 11 is significant and 5G future-proofs the device. The battery is smaller but manageable for most users.
Buy iPhone 13 if you want better battery life than the 12, Night Mode on the ultra-wide camera, and Cinematic Mode video. GHS 500 more — worth it for the battery improvement alone.
