Apple's A14 Bionic still holds up well for everyday use, handling apps and multitasking without much fuss even years after release. The 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display supports Dolby Vision and HDR10, with peak brightness hitting 1200 nits, so outdoor visibility isn't an issue. Storage is capped at 64GB with 4GB RAM, which is on the leaner side if you shoot a lot of 4K video or install many apps.
The dual 12MP camera setup covers wide and ultrawide shots, and it can record 4K video with Dolby Vision HDR up to 30fps, a feature still rare at this price point. Battery capacity sits at 2815 mAh, modest by today's standards, but 20W wired charging and 15W MagSafe wireless charging help offset that. IP68 water resistance and 5G connectivity round out the package.
Apple iPhone 12 price in Malaysia starts from RM3089, making it one of the more affordable ways to get into Apple's ecosystem with 5G support built in.
