How to choose an iPhone
Here are three points to check when choosing an iPhone. This time, we received advice from IT journalist Muneka Nishida on how to choose an iPhone.
① First, let's check the three basic points
First, let's check the three points that affect the functionality and usability of the iPhone.
Camera performance: If you want image quality, the latest Pro or Pro Max is recommended
Basically, iPhone camera performance is evolving with each new model. If you're into camera performance, check out the latest iPhone 12 series.
The iPhone 12 camera is the world's first smartphone to support Dolby Vision. Dolby Vision is one of the technology methods called "HDR" that expands the range of brightness that can be expressed, and can reproduce realistic colors even in dark scenes, allowing you to shoot beautiful images like movies.
In addition, iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max are equipped with a "LiDAR (rider) scanner". LiDAR is a mechanism that uses laser light to measure the distance to a distant object, which makes it possible to shoot night portraits that create a beautiful background blur even in the dark.
Another important point is the telephoto lens that comes with the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max. By fulfilling the desire to "get a little closer" when taking a picture, you will have more freedom in taking pictures.

Comment from Muneka Nishida
Enhanced HDR support for iPhone 12. Especially in the quality of the video, I feel a big difference. However, if you move the video to a device other than the iPhone and play it, the value tends to be less noticeable.
Storage: Great, but consider saving space in the cloud
Storage is a place to store data, and the amount of storage that can be selected for iPhone differs depending on the model. Larger capacity is more convenient, but the amount will increase proportionally, so if you want to keep your purchase price down, consider using the cloud.
For example, even if you take a lot of pictures, you can basically save all the pictures you took in the cloud and leave only your favorite pictures and the pictures you want to look back on your smartphone, which is inconvenient even if the capacity of the main unit is small. There will be fewer scenes where you will feel.

It's not a lot of space, but unless you're shooting video very often, you probably don't need as much as 512GB.
Security authentication method: There is no big difference in security strength between face authentication and fingerprint authentication.
Currently, all iPhone 12 series use Face ID for face recognition, and iPhone SE (2nd generation) uses Touch ID for fingerprint recognition. There is not much difference in security strength between the two, but the preference for usability is clear.
However, since there are almost only iPhone SE (2nd generation) options for Toush ID, those who want the latest specifications for cameras etc. can either put up with Face ID or new models with Touch ID will come out. The current situation is that there is no choice but to wait.

The downside of Face ID is that it is difficult to use in Corona, where it is essential to wear a mask, but face recognition is a function that is quicker and easier to use.
(2) Check the features of the latest 5 models. Let's choose according to the important points
Introducing the features of each latest iPhone model. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, so it's best to choose according to the points you value
If you want compactness that can be used with one hand, iPhone 12 mini
Source: apple.com
The biggest feature of the iPhone 12 mini is that it is the smallest and lightest of the current iPhones. It fits in the palm of your hand and weighs only 133g, so you won't get tired even if you hold it for a long time. In addition, the performance is basically the same as the standard model iPhone 12, and the price is about 10,000 yen cheaper, so it can be said that it is a bargain.
Also, it is a nice point that there are a lot of color variations. However, due to its small size, the built-in battery is a little small, and the continuous use time is a little short. If you use it outside the day, it is a good idea to use it with a mobile battery.
If you want standard performance and size, iPhone 12

If you want standard performance with a familiar size while keeping the purchase price down, iPhone 12 is recommended. The display is 6.1 inches, which is about the same as the conventional iPhone 11 and iPhone X, and the price can be purchased from less than 100,000 yen. One of the advantages is that the battery lasts longer than the mini.
However, the camera doesn't have a telephoto lens, which is a bit inferior to the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max. This model is recommended for people who are not very particular about camera performance and just want the same size as before.

iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max are equipped with a telephoto lens and a "LiDAR scanner" that enables beautiful background blur even in the dark. The iPhone 12 Pro is exactly the same size as the iPhone 12, so it's especially recommended for people who don't want to make it bigger, but want to stick to camera performance.
Unlike the iPhone 12 and 12 mini, the color variations are developed in a calm tone. In addition, the storage is at least 128GB, and the price difference is 16,000 yen compared to the iPhone 12 with the same capacity, so it can be seen as a surprising bargain.
If you want big screen and high quality camera performance anyway, iPhone 12 Pro Max

The iPhone 12 Pro Max has an optical zoom range of up to 5x, which is even more powerful than the 12 Pro. Recommended for those who want to stick to camera performance and those who want to enjoy watching videos and playing games on a large 6.7-inch screen.
The size of the main body is 160.8 mm in height and 78.1 mm in width, and it seems that it is basically difficult to operate with one hand. It is also the heaviest and most expensive of the current models. It's a good idea to consider the criteria of "how much you can invest in camera performance".
If you focus on cost performance, the functions are necessary and sufficient iPhone SE (2nd generation)
Source: apple.com
The biggest attraction of the iPhone SE (2nd generation) is the most affordable price among the latest models, starting at a minimum of 44,800 yen. In addition, it has the necessary and sufficient performance as a smartphone and uses the same processor as the iPhone 11 Pro, so if it is a standard application, you will not feel the weight of operation.
The display is as small as 4.7 inches, but it fits in the palm of your hand and is easy to use. Also, the point is that it is the only one introduced this time that is equipped with Touch ID for fingerprint authentication instead of Face ID for face authentication. However, the camera performance is slightly inferior to the iPhone 12 series.
③ For those who are looking for cheapness, aim for out-of-mold and second-hand goods. However, let's check the notes
Some people may hesitate to buy the iPhone because of its high functionality and high terminal price. In such a case, it is also a good idea to aim for a model that is out of shape or a used item. However, there are some caveats, so be careful.
Be careful of the end of support for mold drop. Models still sold by AppleBasically, it's best to choose only the models that are still on sale at Apple, and now the iPhone 11 and iPhone XR. This is because older models will eventually be unable to update their OS to the latest version. The OS support for iPhone tends to end in about 4 to 5 years after its release.
When OS support ends, the latest version of the app may not be available or security issues may occur. Some stores still sell iPhone 7 and iPhone 8, but choose a new model as much as possible so that you can continue to use it for a long time with peace of mind.
For second-hand goods, check the notation of "maintained products" and "certified second-hand goods".
The best way to buy second-hand goods is to choose a second-hand refurbished product that is officially sold by the manufacturer or mobile operator. It is sold under product names such as "refurbished products" at Apple and "certified second-hand products" at au.
When purchasing from other shops, choose a major retailer with a clear operating company. We do not recommend personal transactions such as auctions and flea market apps because it is difficult to guarantee that they will work properly.

Comment from Muneka Nishida
The problem with second-hand goods is that communication restrictions and the possibility of stolen goods cannot be determined from the outside. If it is a refurbished product (used refurbished product) such as Apple or a telecommunications carrier, or a major second-hand store that claims to erase data and check the operation, there will be few mistakes.
