The iPhone 12 marks a new era for iPhones on multiple grounds such as the introduction of 5G, a new fire-breathing chip, and a massive leap in imaging capabilities, especially when it comes to video capture. Notably, Apple also introduced the new Ceramic Shield display protection for the iPhone 12 series that is claimed to offer 4x higher durability. While the assurance of enhanced protection against accidental drops and scratches is definitely a perk, putting it to test is not advisable – especially when you’ll have to cough up a hefty $279 for a screen replacement.
Needless to say, a screen guard is a no-brainer, especially when your investment in the iPhone 12 goes north of $799. However, finding the right option that fits in with your product requirements and budget is not an easy task at all. But to save you the hassle, we’ve shortlisted the best iPhone 12 screen protectors. Have a look:
