Which iPhone 12 do I own?
The standard iPhone 12 has two rear cameras stacked vertically and a 6.1-inch display. The smaller 12 mini also has two cameras. Check Model Name in Settings, General, then About before measuring the phone or guessing from its case. Copy Capacity and Carrier Lock from that screen for your comparison.
Why did the 128 GB and 256 GB models show the same average?
The price report groups different phones by capacity. An equal average cannot tell you how much extra storage is worth on two otherwise identical units. Check sold phones with the same capacity, battery condition, and lock status. Exclude parts-only listings, empty boxes, and other iPhone 12 variants.
How can I show the condition of an older iPhone?
Photograph the screen switched on and off. Use an angled light to reveal scratches and rear-glass cracks. Test the Lightning port, wireless charging if available, both cameras, speakers, and Face ID. Record the maximum battery capacity shown in Settings. A buyer can then compare your phone with one that needs a battery replacement.
