The iPhone 16 may be the latest model, but not everyone can afford to shell out £799 for Apple’s newest smartphone.
If you’re in need of a new handset and want to save some cash, Argos has an excellent deal on the iPhone 12 that might just tickle your fancy.
The UK retailer is offering the phone for a mere £399 while stocks last. According to Argos, the iPhone 12 is ‘in demand’, a term they use for products that are flying off the shelves.
Deals like this tend to vanish quickly, so act fast if you’re interested. Launched in 2020, the iPhone 12 marked a significant design shift for Apple.
It was the first iPhone since the SE in 2016 to feature flat sides, a design element that continues to this day. The phone boasts a dual camera, a crisp 6.1-inch Retina OLED screen, and is available in white, green or purple.
Perhaps the best part of this deal is that it’s for the 128GB version of the iPhone 12. The base model at launch came with just 64GB, and with double the storage at 128GB, you won’t have to worry about running out of space for photos, videos, apps and games.
Despite being four years old, the iPhone 12 can download and run the very latest iOS 18 software, and given Apple’s track record should continue to receive the newest updates until at least 2026.

Although it can’t run Apple’s new Apple Intelligence AI features, the phone does have 5G, which is more important to most people than AI.
It’s worth noting that the phone comes with just a USB-C to Lightning cable in the box for you to charge up, but you might need to buy a wall charger as this is not included. If you prefer, you can also use Apple’s optional MagSafe magnetic charger to wirelessly charge the phone.
This clever system also allows you to clip MagSafe cases and wallets to the back of your phone, or easier snap your phone onto a MagSafe car mount when on the road to use it as a GPS system with Google Maps.
Remember to think before you buy, as £399 is still a decent chunk of change. You might also want to check out other UK retailers such as Backmarket, which sells refurbished and sometimes serviced electronics. Apple no longer sells the iPhone 12.
