What was the very first thing you did after setting up your iPhone 12? 🤔
Its not in my hands yet😭 waiting for pro max!
Wish I had an IPhone 12😂😂😂
Hahahaha, I still need to complete step 0: upgrade to the 12...
Can u give 1iphone
My alarm went off. So got up and brushed my teeth
Me watching this this with a iPhone 6 with a broken screen and loads of random lines on the screen : *interesting*
Mmmm yes nice display 👍
@@Cryostal like it’s cheap 😂
Same here ☝🏼

People like this needs more likes because they save others time 😂

Face ID is so fast, I thought my phone was unlocked all the time. It literally unlocks as I reach for it. Crazy fast!
Yessir😂😂
Face ID has a learning curve. Initially, it requires you to look at the screen straight on, but eventually it unlocks as you reach for it. One thing it is not able to do is unlock when you’ve left the screen in landscape mode. I remember when I first got my 12 Pro that it was not doing Face ID outdoors. I would have to duck indoors to get Face ID to work.
Yeah it’s quick
No good with a mask. fingerprint would be better
@@lucymck1 thankfully ios 14.5 is implementing the ability to use face id with a mask
The first few things you should do are: Get a case Set it up Get a screen protector.
I put tempered glass on immediately.. your display will be the cleanest out of the box.
And get a lens protector
i ordered my lens protectors and my case is coming in soon (tomorrow). i love the 12 pro.
@@bretts7694 get a charger bruh🤣
@@laprincesa9803 I didn't think that would be such a big issue, have you had a problem with this in the past? I got a phone case in the mail now along with an Anker 30w charger and a nano liquid screen protector too. Which I also intend to put on the back. (I have a nano screen protector on my current s8+ and it lasted a good 2 years before even starting to show any scratching on the surface (NO micro scratches) That's my pet peeve!
i'm bookmarking this video. I'm purchasing my 12 next week. and I'm upgrading from a 6s so I'm totally new
I want a iPhone 12
I'm in the exact same situation @tucker bookmarking! So excited :D
same here guys, im on a iPhone 7 Right now with only 72% batterycapacity left, i have it 4 years now, its still a good and fast phone But the battery is so bad thats the only reason really why i decided to Upgrade 😅😅 Cant decide which color should i get ... the Black,white or the Green ?😅
Must be nice
That's a massive upgrade
Got 12 from 6, with 6 years of using it, and I’m loving it ☺️
Upgraded from 5S to 12 - love it so far but so much to learn and your video really helped. Will be referring to it again. Thank you.
Enjoyed your great guidance on setting up my iPhone 12. While I have had the blue iPhone 12 for nearly a month, your tips about keeping your home screen apps down to those you need most; about adding home screen widgets; and about how dark mode saves battery life were very worthwhile. I’ll check out your battery saving recommendations as well, Brandon. Thank you.
It's smart, concise direct/to the point vids like this that make learning a pleasure. Not a bit of wasted time... do yourself a favour and watch ! Thank you Brandon, well done ! And yes, I will be looking at your other offerings too !!!
This was very thorough! Thank you for making this video as I upgraded from an iPhone 7 and there were some things I never knew.
That was great. For someone that is not technically inclined you showed me a lot of stuff. Thank you
after a while ur phone understands what brightness u like and when so i find i rly helpful
It really does. Always hated auto brightness on android but damn it’s working good on iPhone
I bought Iphone 12. I was an android user and switched to iOS... It’s really awesome.
same. came from a galaxy s7 and im having a blast so far with my iphone 12
boutta upgrade from my s10 and im excited af
@@candelent21 did you upgrade yet?
@@calmen9596 yes, much faster than my s10
@Bro Z shut up android sheep
So far for first impressions (I came from an iPhone 7 so take this with a grain of salt) the screen looks amazing, so far the battery charges fast and doesn’t drain very fast, perfect size for me, and it’s shape is very comfortable
Lol I have a 6s the battery drains in 30 min to an hour
Ok
@@myrealusername9998 why dont you just replace the battery?
@@Richi805YugiKards I did that’s the battery life with a brand new battery
@@myrealusername9998 I had an iPhone6 too and when I replaced the battery it at least gave it another hour. Regardless I feel your pain. I was lucky enough to be able to update to an iPhone12 just yesterday.
I went from a 6s to the 12 pro max. I've had it less than a day but already love it. I'm not a techie guy so your video was super helpful, thank you.
But Brandon...😂😂🙌🏾let me take my popcorn 🍿
Dear Brandon thanks a bunch, for another awesome, professional video. In Tip 7 You‘ve said: Get a power block, if you haven’t one already. I understand why You suggest to get one, since the new iPhones doesn’t have it in the box. Regarding the battery-health, I‘ve only used a 5 watt charger so far, I’ve never used a 10 or 18 watt charger for my 11 Pro Max, because of the heat. And after 11 month with 126 battery-cycles, the battery health is still 100% Including: Usage between 80-30% and never charged it wirelessly. Why did I go to the trouble of this special charging treatment? To avoid any kind of heat, because heat is a battery killer. I think the faster someone charges his/her cell, it generates more heat Greetings from Winterthur (Switzerland)
I upgraded from a 7 to a 12. It really just feels amazing, it’s really light and the camera is amazing. Also even tho the 5G isn’t the best right now, it’s a nice flex to have on the right hand corner😂
same😂
Thanks Brandon! I so needed this!
thanks for the tips it's very helpful!
Great tips. I migrated from the 6S, so this new phone was initially steep. My hobby horse is lanyards. When I got the 6S in 2015 I couldn't figure out how to carry it. I immediately put it in a LifeProof case so I could carry it while sea kayaking. I ended up hot gluing a couple of string loops to the back bottom of the case and then tied these on a piece of parachute cord as a lanyard around my neck. Worked great; my students, couldn't wait to let me know how stupid it looked. Fully 1/3rd of their phones had cracked screens at any one time. "I climbed mountains all over Japan with my phone hanging from my neck - no problem." For the new iPhone 12 pro max, I wanted to upgrade. In 2015/16 there were no lanyards for smart phones (except the waterproof baggies. Not one of the cases at the Apple store even had an attachment point.) Now there are lanyards but it seems they're where I was at the beginning of figuring this out five years ago. This time: 1/4" webbing. Sewn loops at the bottom, small cheap (Not the better quality) carabiners. These clip on to webbing oops extending from the back/bottom of the case (Survivor) . Roughed up areas on the back of the case. I used 5200 glue, but hot glue worked for the last one. I hang the strap over the left side of my neck, down my back so it hangs off my right side by my hip. It's always at hand, never in the way, and it can't fall out of a pocket. Near the top of the strap I sewed a loop (at my sternum) that I attached another carabiner to. On the back of the case I left one of the glued straps a bit high in the middle (balance) of the case. It has a carabiner attached to it. Now when I want to automatically record video (a crooked car rental place, crimes, etc...) I can quickly turn on my camera, then attach the two carabiners together and I've got a body cam. By not holding it up it's less conspicuous. Hope this is at least interesting. I don't think it's all that unique, except no one seems to be doing it. Happy to share any of this with anyone who is interested.
lol
Nice essay
Interesting...Great tip about the body cam!
Upgraded from my 7 to the standard 12 a few days ago and am loving it. I got the blue 64GB but only because I primarily use iCloud. It’s been wild to get used to having so much screen and how fast everything operates.
how is it now?
@@nickalousmalakar5237 still love it just as much as when I got it. The processing speed is so refreshing and normal at this point. The size of the screen compared to the 7 is still fantastic.
@@grantmason2358 how about the battery?
@@nickalousmalakar5237 normal use lasts me the whole day, heavy use lasts me about 3/5 to 3/4 of the day before I use a portable charger. I only carry one for emergencies and don't have to use it often. The battery life in iphones was greatly improves around the X and up I think?
@@grantmason2358 that's great to hear thanks
thank you for your video. greatly appreciated
your video and explanation of all its features are amazing. I purchased the IPhone Pro 12 in blue upgrading from the IPhone 8 Plus. All the knowledge you share has been so incredibly helpful. Will continue to follow and learn. Again thanks and please stay safe and healthy
I just got my iPhone 12 last Friday. I absolutely love it
you are the best one sir
Thanks Brandon! I will refer to this video for reminders. Very comprehensive.
Thank you for this. I’m upgrading from a 7 plus. Currently waiting on the phone to come in but this video was extremely helpful.
Great video on covering the iPhone 12 setup 😊👍🏼
thanks Kristina 😊
Been following since the BBSipodtouchhelp days! Good to see your still making videos
OG! Appreciate ya!
Thanks for the info regarding significant locations!
Thanks Brandon. This is just what I needed as i just got the 12 Pro. Good work mate :)
I’m coming from the iPhone 7 Plus so the tips are useful! Thanks!
The phone looks nice Great video btw 👍 Love your contents
Thanks!
Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated. Got a black mini 128GBs as my first iPhone ever. Super fast and easy to use thanks to your video.
Great tutorial. Upgraded from 7 to 12, don’t judge me! It’s a beautiful navy blue. Thanks for this video, now I’m going to watch your battery video!
I just jumped from iPhone 6 to 12 mini and it is stressing me out to learn all the new stuff lol. Thank you for making my life a bit easier.

One of the best KZheadrs when it comes to these types of subject. Thank you for the great content!
Thanks Brandon!!! Just got my new iPhone 12 Pro Max. And I immediately searched for the first things to do tips on KZhead and brought me here. Thanks heaps! Big help.
Wow. Clear and detailed. From iPhone 6S to 12 this video was very helpful. Shared and saved it for refresher in case I forget...thanks.
I’m about 30 miles from Charlotte, and I’m getting crazy awesome speed on the iPhone 12
watching this on my new iphone 12, just wanna say thank you brandon for all your videos. they’ve been really helpful and i don’t regret leaving my 7 behind, its been strange adjusting to having no home button but i’m sure i’ll get used to it :). also, i got the 128gb (mostly cos u recommended it) and i’m sure i am not going to regret that decision!
Nathan B which color did you get ? Im i the exact same Position, still in my iPhone Right now... its still fast but the battery is so depressing!
Yeah which colour did you get ? I’m confused between Pacific Blue & Graphite😩
@@patrickf8768 i got the 12 in blue :) that’s the same issue i had with my 7!!! the performance was pretty good but the battery was bad. the 12 is much faster and more responsive.
@@AZZZBUZZZTERR i got the blue and its really nice. ngl i didn’t go for the pro models but if i did i would get the pacific blue.
@@nathanb1071 yasssss that’s what m going for!😁
Just got my black iPhone 12 mini.... loving it so far. Thanks for the great tips!
Nice job Brandon. I need to watch is presentation a couple of times.
I just bought my 12 now. However, I was skeptical at first which one to buy 11 or 12 but since 11 series are out of stock I bought 12, and I am happy with my decision.
not experiencing screen flickering???

this was helpful. thank you
Hi, about Dolby Vision, I tried to shoot the same clip with DV on first and then with DV off and I have to say that of course the overall image quality and colors are much better with DV on. The only thing I noticed that seems pretty odd to me is that high lights seems be clipped much more with DV on. For example, I shoot from the inside my room and outside the windows everything is white (clipped). Then, the same video with DV off has some details outside. I'm not watching the videos on computers or TV but just by my phone12. Do you know why is that?
i’m coming from a 6s and i’m sooo happy with my 12 (i got the red❤️ looks pink tho which i love)
Sameee I got navy blue and I love it
Thanks. This was really great. I got my 12 yesterday and this was perfect. Fast and easy to understand.
Thanks this was so helpful. I got the blue Iphone 12 and this video was simple, straightforward, informative, and appreciated.
Great video! So many good tips and things to do don’t have an iPhone 12 LOL have an iPhone X
Me too
you can use your old charger it just takes longer. I think a lot of reviewers don’t say that
Its cause its 5w charger compared to a 20w charger, noone uses anything below 10w anymore anyway
Hi! I've just ordered my iphone 12 today and this video is very helpful. Will certainly apply the 14 tips you've mentioned in the video.
Interesting comments, very helpful. I had just watched another video on setting up iPhone 12, and he had totally different recommendations on things like Auto-Lock and Raise to Wake. I much prefer yours! It’s all a matter of personal preference.
I had a 8 and I just upgraded to the 12 and MAN it’s a HUGE JUMP! Definitely worth the $830 cash I spent
My stepdad bought mine and put it on his line. Best surprise ever! I was so happy. I upgraded from the 8 too 🥳
i love your videos
Thanks :)
@@BrandonButch your welcome. can u in some video test the camera between the iPhone 12 pro and the iPhone 12 max,including the lidar scanner and the night mode effect
Nice explanation keep on going :)
A really helpful video! Thank you
Brandon, you talked about photo storage, once photos are on Icloud, can we delete them from the phone then? I have plenty of storage as I got 256 GB phone. Thanks
No, once you take them off the phone after a month they are gone forever.
Got my IPhone 12! Watching this video on it right now.
Awesome! Hope it’s helpful
@@BrandonButch Your videos are always helpful. Good job bro 👍
thanks for this! I am switching from my iPhone XR. super excitedddd!!!
This would be easy if iPhone had split screen mode 💁🏽
You can PIP on your iPhone as you watch this video
@@mhbarillas9187 With a custom shortcut, Safari or another app you mean? YT stock app doesn't offer Pip functionality.
New iOS update or new iPhone update? Priority #1: Watch Brandon's new video about it. 💯
Appreciate it man! 🙌
This is the best video on iPhone 12 - great tips. So informative and useful. Thank you:)
Thanks helped me through my 6s to 12 pro transition. You made it very smooth
In face Id just put attention aware features so you’re phone doesn’t dim
My favourite part was when he said “The next thing you guys should do...”
Brandon, thank you for the updates!! I have the iPhone 12 Pro, day 3!!
Thank you for posting this video. I just bought the iPhone 12 Pro and I am glad I can now download the updates by using my cellular data
Nice😍😘😘
I’m getting an iPhone 12 for my birthday which is in a few days 😁
Great Video Brandon thank you. I got the 12 Black. One thing I have learnt is that you need to switch VPN off whenever doing anything ‘Apple-ie’ such as setting up Apple Pay or even just signing into your Apple ID. Thanks again for such a straight forward, no preamble, informative vid.
First time iPhone user here. Thanks for the videos that you post they have helped me a lot and I have been able to help my wife with her iPhone. We are long time Samsung users and with your video I have maneuvered through setting up both phone and been able to make some changes to settings. Thanks again for the videos.
I just upgraded from the 6s+ Thank you.
No:1 Buy a charger
If u already have an iPhone you can just use your old iPhones charger since it’s the same port. That’s why I’m happy they kept the lightning port:)
@@h8zxck doesn’t it come with lightning to usbc?
@@christopherturcios559 the lightning is the part that goes into the port and that’s the type of port every iPhone has and I have the 8 so I wouldn’t have to spend 💵 on a new charger.😌
@@h8zxck ahh I see, you mean use your old cable, I was referring to using the new cable
@fresh lemon water who wants to use a slower charger?
The last iphone I had was the 7 plus, this was such a helpful video on the new changes/upgrades to the iphone 12 pro that I recently purchased.
Great video with all necessary details.
Unboxed? LOL I'm waiting for my CONTINENT to get the shipment 😭.
why do you not recommend minimising/closing apps?
my guess is that if app auto refresh is not enabled then keeping them in the back saves more battery than closing and opening them all the time. but its just my guess.
As always, useful information. I can't locate your setup video for the 12, was it removed?
Thanks 4u vid..more to come..:)
Discord Gang
gang gang
5:27 just curious what's the reasoning behind not closing apps
I was wondering the same thing
that's what I was wondering also
I googled it and all the top results said it uses more cpu power and more ram to relaunch an app after quitting it. I was totally unaware so I suppose I will stop quitting all my apps and see how that affects everything
@@graham107 interesting, thanks for checking that 🤙
@@graham107 The iPhone 12 (especially the pro) is also very good at multitasking and will not struggle to have lots of apps open in the background. Along with the power used when relaunching, it's also just annoying to have to wait for your app to load again :)
Thank you. A great help. I have upgraded from 7 to 12 and still getting to grips with some of it. Can’t seem to get my purchased i tune ring tones though
Thanks for the tips. VERY HELPFUL. :-)
I absolutely love Apple pay but its kinda hard to use these days since Face ID cant recognize you with a mask on...
So if you have/get an Apple Watch and set up wallet on your watch, you don’t need Face ID to use Apple Pay
Good news! They’re adding it with 14.5!
You can have an alternate face, like one with makeup and one with a mask.
Wowwww 😂 all these new apple features ive had on android for years✌️😝
But not the privacy...
Truth I use both and iPhone Is using lots of android features these days. The iPhone is still terrible at actually making phone calls though.
Yup I just switched to iPhone and iam like… I almost feel like it’s a major downgrade and like iam using a first generation phone. I expected so much more considering their popularity!!!
Damn! Feeling the same way too. This unit is coming soon but I just can't let go of my Android phone.
Thank you for a great video. I got the 12 mini
Nice tips huge thanks 👌🏼
After watching your video, I feel like I’ve run a marathon! Watch, look at phone, rewind video, rewatch, find on my phone, stop video, change my setting, rewind, Did I do it right?, watch again, move on.
Who else has to wait until Mid November to get the iphone 12 pro 🤦♂️
Me :(
me too I got 12 blue and it will arrive Nov 14 smh
Sameeee, so glad we are all in the same boat
Hey! I was supposed to get my iPhone 12 during November but I ended up getting it today! Y’all might have a chance of getting it earlier. My phone is a 12 pro graphite 128gb T-Mobile
yep mines 16th nov
Ahhhh I just got a red iPhone 12 for my birthday and I’m in love this video really helped thx
Thank you for your helpful tips! A lot has changed since the Iphone 8 I had most recently.
Brandon, you said what was the very first thing you did after you got the iphone 12, I don't even have an iPhone 😂😂😂
Still watching 🙌🏾
