The iPhone 12 brought 5G to Apple in 2020. Six years later, at under 3,000 DH pre-owned, it's still a serious option for a lot of people. Here's why — and why not.
What the iPhone 12 has going for it in 2026
5G: more relevant than you think
The 5G network is gradually rolling out in Morocco. With an iPhone 12, you're ready. For a phone you'll keep 3-4 years, that's a real advantage.
Glass and aluminum design
The iPhone 12's flat-edged design is still as elegant as ever. It's hard to tell it apart from a newer model with the naked eye.
A14 Bionic: still performing
The A14 Bionic handles everyday apps perfectly. WhatsApp, social media, navigation, music — everything runs smoothly.

The weak points to know about
Limited battery life: The iPhone 12 doesn't have the best battery life in the range. With heavy use, you only just make it to the end of the day. At Relab, we check battery health before every sale.
Single-lens camera (standard model): The standard iPhone 12 has a wide + ultra-wide camera, with no telephoto lens. For everyday photos, that's more than enough.
iOS updates: Apple could stop iOS updates for the iPhone 12 by 2026-2027. Worth keeping an eye on, but not critical for daily use.
Who is the iPhone 12 for in 2026?
✅ First iPhone: For someone discovering the Apple ecosystem on a limited budget
✅ Second phone: For travel, sport, basic professional use
✅ Gift: The value for money is unbeatable at this budget
Our recommendation: If you have 3,500 DH, get an iPhone 13. If your budget stops at 3,000 DH, the iPhone 12 is still an excellent option.
