The new iPhone 12 turned out to be excellent in all respects, the new “basic” iPhone now looks no worse than the more expensive iPhone 12 Pro, and there are plenty of differences compared to last year’s iPhone 11. You can find out all the details in the video; Valentin shares his opinion, and at the same time offers to take part in the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 drawing:
Let's go over the main points and highlight the main advantages of the new product. Phones for testing were provided by our friends from Biggeek.ru, as always, thanks to them for their excellent service.
New design
If the iPhone 11 inherited the external features of the old iPhone XR, then the iPhone 12 has completely new forms. Instead of rounded sides, flat sides have appeared; the phone looks and feels different in the hand. In addition, it became 30 grams lighter, losing 15% of the weight, while the width and height also decreased.

Did you miss the new design? Now you can be glad that the basic iPhone looks no worse than the Pro version and differs only in materials: aluminum on the sides instead of steel.

Another thing is that if you put the phone in a case, it will be very difficult to find the difference between the iPhone 11 and 12 and no one will understand that you have a new iPhone.

Apple has also improved the phone’s water resistance: iPhone 12 meets the IP68 standard, but can withstand immersion to a depth of six meters.
A little about the layout
An individual estate differs in its layout from a city apartment. It includes volumes that the city dweller does not take into account, but it is impossible to do without them. The project of an individual house with a plan size of 11 by 12 meters will accommodate all the necessary residential and office premises.
However, finding a balance between maximum space and the strict need to allocate space for premises performing auxiliary and service functions depends solely on the customer himself.
An architect or designer who develops the interior layout of a house can give professional advice and recommendations to the owner. Decision-making will still remain with him.

The developer must approach his task as responsibly and thoughtfully as possible. The layout of the house will determine the level of pleasure and convenience from further living in it.
Other colors
Last year's iPhone 11 is sold in six colors: classic black and white, red (PRODUCT)RED, pale yellow and the same pastel lilac and green.
In the case of the iPhone 12, the palette has been updated: black, white and more pinkish than red (PRODUCT)RED remain. A new blue color appeared and green remained.
Design almost like iPhone 11, but better
The iPhone 12 doesn't look like an unfamiliar smartphone. On the contrary, we have already seen this camera unit and the glass back panel with the Apple logo in the center.
But there are still two important differences. The flat edges really look fresh. Yes, they were in the iPhone 5, but eight years ago.
The flat edges did not affect the way the smartphone fits in the hand. In horizontal orientation it became much more convenient to hold it.
Due to new edges, reduced screen bezels, battery capacity and some details, the iPhone 12 has become much smaller than the iPhone 11, while maintaining the same screen diagonal. It is 32 grams lighter. At first it is very unusual, but you get used to it quickly.
Smaller frame, stronger glass
The long-suffering display frames, for which only a lazy gadget writer did not criticize the phone, have become thinner. At the same time, the display size remained the same, but the screen resolution increased, and the matrix also changed from IPS to OLED. Now the “basic” iPhone is not inferior in image quality to the Pro version.

Both phones support P3 color gamut and also have True Tone, but the iPhone 12 added HDR support. Another advantage of the new iPhone is a higher brightness margin and a more contrasting screen.

The iPhone 12 also received a Ceramic Shield coating that protects the screen when the phone is dropped. According to Apple, it is four times stronger than old glass.
Family nest
The pursuit of a large area of an individual or country house is not always justified.

Excess space leads to increased capital costs for construction and operating costs, both obvious and hidden. The costs of heating in winter or air conditioning in summer depend on the cubic capacity of houses served. It is impossible to reduce them without loss of quality of life.
It is especially unpleasant if these losses are associated with periodic operation of the house. After all, heating is necessary even when the owner lives in a city apartment. The maintenance of the premises is related to its arrangement, ongoing repairs, and cleaning. These expenses are not visible, but should not be discounted.
A small family feels quite comfortable in a home of rational size and layout. A building with an area of 130 square meters can measure 11 by 12 meters in plan. Moreover, the floor area is one and a half or two times larger than the area of a decent city apartment.

By choosing or ordering a project according to your taste and needs, the owner will receive decent housing at reasonable costs.
What is inside
Both iPhones received versions of 64, 128 and 256 GB.
Apple does not disclose RAM data, but judging by tests, both phones received 4 GB of RAM. Of course, the processor in the iPhone 12 is newer and more modern, it is already made using a 5nm process technology - by the way, the same processor in the 12 Pro.
In turn, the iPhone 11 has last year’s top-end chip and in practice it is very difficult to feel the difference between them. Both phones are very fast, but the soul of the owner of the iPhone 12 will be warmed by the fact that the smartphone will receive the latest versions of iOS longer.
Both the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 have wireless charging, but the new iPhone supports 15-watt charging, while the old one only supports 7.5 watts.
We also don’t forget about accessories with MagSafe for iPhone 12.
Is a second floor needed?
Using relatively cheap space that does not require foundations on the second level is always very tempting. Is it worth doing? The answer will be individual in each case. Organizing a full-fledged second floor at the dacha will give an increase of the same square footage. It looks great at first glance.
But there are many pitfalls that can ruin your project.

Even if the cost of constructing a foundation for walls twice as heavy does not increase, other problems will arise.
The main problem is organizing a staircase to the second floor of the house. With a facade width of 11 or 12 meters, more than a third of this distance will have to be sacrificed for the location and arrangement of the staircase and creating access to it from other rooms. The same seizures will occur on the second floor. Thus, the layout will undergo major changes that will not improve it in any way. And the resulting area will not be as large as expected.
Which one works longer?
The operating time of the iPhone 11 is excellent; the phone can easily withstand a day of very active use or two days of vigorous activity. In comparison, the iPhone 12 runs less, but not by much. According to my subjective feelings, the iPhone 12 will last a day and a half under a similar load.

Walls
An individual house allows you to provide a comfortable room height, ensuring good air exchange at the level of human height. This parameter included in the project will determine the height of the walls of your house.
The outer wall is 11 or 12 meters long, allowing the use of various materials. A wall in the form of a frame or made of artificial stone, such as brick or wall blocks, will fit well into the dimensions of the building.

You can use logs, profiled, laminated timber or build a brick house.
The common length of products made from these materials is a multiple of the dimensions of the building. Joining just two elements will allow you to close a distance of 12 meters without resorting to searching for non-standard lengths of timber or logs. An 11 meter long wall is made in the same way with little loss of excess material.
Updated cameras
The front camera has not changed - both smartphones have an identical 8-megapixel module. The main camera in the iPhone 12 is now more light-sensitive, but the sensor is the same as in the iPhone 11. But neural networks help achieve better results: a night mode has appeared for both the ultra-wide-angle camera and the front one, and the third generation Smart HDR analyzes the scene and adjusts colors depending on the lighting.

If you take photos every day and like to tinker with photo processing, you should definitely get the iPhone 12. For all other cases, the iPhone 11 will be good.
The screen has become truly top-end
I had no complaints about the iPhone 11 display. The resolution is sufficient for comfortable use, color rendition is also excellent.
But the iPhone 12 screen is beyond praise. I used to be a proponent of IPS and always believed that it was better than OLED because it rendered more natural colors and did not overinflate contrast and saturation.
However, Apple managed to get OLED very right. Color reproduction is okay, but blacks are really impressive, especially in the evening with the dark theme turned on.
Also, thanks to OLED, engineers were able to reduce the bezels that sometimes infuriated me in the iPhone 11.
But I didn’t immediately notice the increased resolution. Maybe there is a difference in a direct comparison, but I no longer have an iPhone 11, so I won’t say so.
Minimalist kit
Apple has a new concept: along with the phones we get a minimal set of accessories; there is no longer a charger or headphones, just a cable. Moreover, both the new iPhone 12 and the old iPhone 11 are sold in such a minimal configuration. Therefore, if you suddenly come across the eleventh iPhone in a large box with a charger and headphones from old batches, consider yourself lucky.

Attic
Arrangement of a finished attic for temporary or permanent residence is somewhat more rational, although less attractive. You still have to do the staircase assembly. The attic allows you to significantly reduce its area due to deterioration in quality. You can make a larger angle of inclination and reduce the width and length of stair steps to a minimum.
In a building with dimensions of 11 by 12 meters, such a block will save the area of the first floor with virtually no deterioration in the layout. Using steep and narrow stairs is not comfortable and is even contraindicated for people with health problems. Therefore, it is better to adapt the attic plan for summer, guest or children's living.
The magic of numbers: How the mirror date 11/12/2021 will change people's lives
November 12 is a time of reassessment of values and manifestation of unusual interests, the emergence of extraordinary situations and acquaintances. Numerologist Daria Tomilova in an interview with 5-tv.ru explained the meaning of the mirror date, drawing up a forecast portrait of this day.
“At the beginning of the day, the energy of the 12th arcana is active, in the middle of the day the energy of the first arcana will be activated, and at the end of the day the energy of the 17th arcana will be active,” the numerologist calculated and deciphered all the meanings.
November 12 is an unusual day in its entirety: events are likely that will affect our perception of the world, creating a new picture of the world. According to the expert, there will be a reassessment of values, a craving for the unusual will appear, this could be fresh knowledge, other interests, new acquaintances with unusual people, unusual circumstances and situations will arise.
“On this mirror day, our two roles will appear - savior and victim, and I strongly advise you not to fall into either of them. People born either on the 12th or in December should pay special attention to the topic of personal boundaries,” the fortuneteller recommended.
The middle of the day is associated with communications: this is communication and new contacts, a time for negotiations and discussions, conflicts are possible.
The picture of the day may end up being radically different if you imagine two options for the outcome of events.
The first option is positive.
“At the beginning of the day there is 12 lasso, the key word here is unusual, then the first lasso, meaning contacts and communications. If you connect them together, you will get non-standard communications, which in the future can lead to some success, creativity, implementation and publicity, this is facilitated by the person responsible for this direction and the 17th lasso that fell at the end of the day,” the specialist said about November 12 in a positive way key.
An unfavorable scenario for the day predicts the development of sacrificial communications; they will lead to grievances, worries and anxieties. In this situation, you recognize negative emotions by the following points:
- You may suddenly feel offended that you are not being listened to, that your word is not significant;
- Unfavorable and unwanted communications will arise;
- There will be difficulties in communication, the inability to find a common language with some people.
- These difficulties at the end of the day will further lead to low self-esteem, lack of fulfillment and bad luck in getting things done.
Mirror dates are often popular among newlyweds for wedding ceremonies. The expert considers such increased attention to such numbers justified: such days really fit the portrait of the day, which includes the acquisition of new communications and the unusualness of an event charged with success.
