These signals are the longer-term layer Decide brings into the compare, so the better phone is not reduced to specs alone.
Support runway
Limited support runwayThe iPhone 12 can still serve well today, but it is now in the stage where condition and price matter more than the model name.
Repair reality
Repair mixedThe iPhone 12 should still be serviceable locally, but support quality is not a standout advantage.
Resale confidence
Resale weakThe iPhone 12 is not the kind of phone buyers usually chase for strong resale later, so long-term value relies more on what you pay now.
