Michael Simon/IDGĪt $829, the iPhone 12 isn’t cheap, but compared to a $1,300 phone like the Galaxy Note 20 it seems like a bargain.īut with the launch of the Galaxy S21 this week, it seems as though Samsung has finally caught on. When compared to the top flagship phones of 2020, in fact, the iPhone 12 slides in well under the average premium Android handset. It’s true that the most expensive iPhone 12 tops out at $1,399, but for the most part, the iPhone 12 is very attainable, even with 5G and OLED displays across the board. Heck, it sells a charger that isn’t even very good for $129.īut when it comes to its phones, Apple consistently gets it right. The iPhone X was the first handset to cost more than a thousand bucks, the wheels for the Mac Pro cost $699, and just last month it launched a $549 pair of AirPods. Apple isn’t exactly known for its low prices.
