Do iphone 12 is good option for 2021 because it doesn't have LPDDR5 memory

What?

Yes it's a good option. If you like Apple phones, why wouldn't it be?

DDR5 isn't out yet. And it will be expensive when it is released just like every new Memory Standard is. Workstations and Servers will support this first. Then HEDT Rigs. And the rest will follow.

He's asking about phones. Some do have LPDDR5 already (Xiaomi Mi11 iirc), but it doesn't really play a huge role in all of it.

Didn't know about LPDDR5. I thought that DDR5 wasn't out yet to begin with.

Its a phone not a pc,why would memory type matter?

Apple’s SoCs tend to cram a metric ton of cache on-board, so memory speed is unlikely to be of much impact outside future games (mobile-focused game engines work to preserve bandwidth) and certain compute heavy loads that phones seldom see.
