Comparison review
IPhone 12 has a general score of 88.7, which is better than the iPhone 5s's general score of 75.5. The iPhone 12 design is newer and just a little thinner than the iPhone 5s's, although it's also a lot heavier. Both phones we are comparing here work with iOS OS (operating system), but the iPhone 12 has an older 15.x version and iPhone 5s has iOS 8.x version.
IPhone 12 counts with a superior hardware performance than iPhone 5s, because although it has doesn't have a GPU, and they both have a 64-bit CPU, the iPhone 12 also counts with a higher number of cores (and also faster) and 3 GB more RAM memory. IPhone 12 counts with a bit better display than Apple iPhone 5s, because it has much more brightness, a higher screen density, a lot better 1170 x 2532 resolution and a lot larger display.
IPhone 12 has as much memory capacity to install applications and games as the iPhone 5s, both of them have exactly the same internal storage capacity. Apple iPhone 12 features a very superior battery duration than iPhone 5s, because it has a 79% more battery capacity. The Apple iPhone 12 has a much better camera than Apple iPhone 5s, because it has a back-facing camera with lot more megapixels, a way better (4K) video quality and a much bigger aperture for better captures and videos in low light situations.
Although iPhone 12 is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the iPhone 5s, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as iPhone 5s. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy iPhone 12, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and buy the iPhone 5s, letting go some specs and features.
