The some of the noticeable differences are:
iPhone 12 starts with 64GB storage, while iPhone 13 has a minimum 128GB.
iPhone 12 battery size 2815 mAh battery), while iPhone 13 is 3227 mAh.
iPhone 13 reaches 800 nits max outdoor brightness, compared to 625 nits on the iPhone 12.
iPhone 13 faster processor, therefore will get more software & security updates.
iPhone 13 has a larger main wide camera sensor to pull in more light than iPhone 12.
There are some other minors which too many to list them out.
They also changed the modem from 12 to 13. It's supposed to be much better in the iphone 13.

Same could be said about the iPhone 16 carrying a 60Hz display. Even budget Samsung A series have had OLED 90-120Hz for a while.

Also what you're pointing out is what a lot of people already recommend doing, which is to buy an old flagship instead of a modern midranger for the same price. The same year the IP12 was released, Samsung released the S20 which can also record 4k60.
Wait, the "I"-Phone 16 doesn't have anything better than a 60hz display?!? wow.....!

13 allows Dual esim and/or hardsim, 12 only has one esim (edit with 1 hardsim too)

What's the phone price arbitrage people are constantly chasing and scheming over in these deal posts? Are people babysitting a new (really old) phone for a year, so they can save the equivalent of $4 a month, after a year?

Because if you put up a flyer in your neighborhood, you can probably get someone to pay you the $50 for 1-2 hours of doing errands or chores for them, then take down the flyer and skip the year of scheming!

Of course I understand, that at some level the scheming is the point, right?! But I'm pretty sure there's plenty of other deal categories you could swim in that would yield more savings, for less time and hassle!

Is this assumed to be brand new, since it doesn't say refurbished? If so, how can this possibly be new if the iPhone 12 was discontinued years ago?

Why do you say you need to buy another month? This plan satisfies the unlocking requirement. Do you have some evidence of this? When it was 60 days of paid service, we didn't need to buy 3 months to get to 61 days. So...

And even if you did need another month, why not just join rewards with a referral code and get enough points to pay for another month?

Anyone used Tracfone 14400 rewards to purchased 1 year service and got free phone.
This will not work. If you add a device code, it will remove the discount on the phone.
