iPhone 12 256GB Unlocked Smartphone

The Apple iPhone 12 is a factory-unlocked GSM/CDMA smartphone with 256GB of internal storage and 4GB of RAM. It runs iOS 14.1 on a hexa-core A14 Bionic processor and features a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display protected by Ceramic Shield glass. The device supports dual Nano-SIM and eSIM operation and includes Face ID biometric authentication. A Lightning to USB 2.0 cable is supplied; no power adapter is included.

Best for single-line users who want 5G

This model suits buyers who need a fully unlocked handset compatible with both GSM and CDMA networks and who value the 256GB capacity for apps, photos and video. The single SIM slot (Nano-SIM or eSIM) means it cannot accommodate two physical SIM cards simultaneously, so users requiring dual physical SIM standby should consider other options. The 4GB RAM and iOS 14.1 baseline may also limit longevity for those who demand the latest software features long-term.

Cable-only bundle keeps charging flexible

The package provides the iPhone 12 and a Lightning to USB 2.0 cable but omits the USB power adapter, allowing owners to reuse existing chargers or select a higher-wattage brick for faster wired charging. Qi wireless charging at up to 15W is supported separately. No headphones, cases or additional accessories are bundled, so buyers should budget for those items if needed.
