iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max - feature OLED displays, 5G connectivity, wireless charging and the same powerful A14 Bionic processor.
Other highlights include new camera features, longer battery life, tougher glass, and new wireless charging accessories.
Choosing a new iPhone can be more difficult than ever, with four new models to choose from for the first time. The iPhone 12 series brought the company a lot of "novelties". Next, we'll take a look at some of the best iPhone 12 features announced on stage during the launch and beyond.
1. Compact iPhone 12 Mini
For the first time ever, Apple customers can purchase a compact iPhone with a full-screen design, one-piece design and Face ID. The iPhone 12 mini's 5.4-inch display is smaller than the iPhone X / XS / 11. These phones should be popular with a certain segment of the population. Its affordable starting price will also make it a great alternative to mid-range Android phones that can't provide the same power and compactness.
2. New OLED displays
The iPhone 12 features the new Ceramic Shield glass, a collaboration with Corning.
All four iPhone 12 models feature OLED Super Retina XDR displays. This directly affects the screen-to-body ratio as the bezels are thinner than the iPhone 11 and iPhone XR with LCD panels. In addition, the screens are covered in tougher glass, which features Corning's Ceramic Shield.
3. Flat design
The design of the case has been changed in the phone. With its flat edges and curved corners, iPhone 12 is reminiscent of the iPhone 4 and the latest iPad Pros. The design should provide more internal space for components and make the phone more durable.
4. Support 5G
Speaking of internals, every iPhone 12 comes with a 5G module and a 5G antenna inside. They will support both sub-6 GHz technology and mmWave technology where possible. But for now, this technology, rather, refers to the technologies of the future.
5. Chip A14 Bionic
The "Hello Speed" slogan at Apple's iPhone 12 event isn't just about 5G support. The iPhone 12 will also feature the new 5nm A14 Bionic chip, which is faster and more efficient than the 7nm A13 Bionic in the iPhone 11. The same chip powers the 2020 iPad Air, and its version is used even in the first ARM-based MacBook. ...
6. Wireless charging
All four iPhone 12 models support wireless charging, just like any iPhone since the iPhone X. But the iPhone 12 introduces MagSafe magnetic charging with support for speeds up to 15W. It's not exactly AirPower, but it does its job perfectly.
7. Improved cameras
All four iPhone 12 models have received several major camera upgrades. All cameras support night mode photography, and Apple has created a new sensor-shift optical image stabilization (OIS) system for each camera. Cameras shoot in Apple ProRAW mode, which is useful for photographers. In addition, the iPhone 12 is the first phone to support Dolby Vision HDR video recording. The iPhone 12 can also record 10-bit HDR clips.
8. LiDAR Scanner
This is a feature reserved for the Pro line, which is equipped with a LiDAR sensor. This is the same type of technology found in the iPad Pro that allows Apple to determine the depth of space. This function can be used in augmented reality technologies. The LiDAR sensor also helps with autofocus functions when shooting in low light. It also allows you to more effectively blur the background.
9. More storage space
Pro models also have more basic storage than their cheaper counterparts. The iPhone 12 128GB is the best choice for the coming years in the coming 5G era.
10. Affordable prices
Apple is now able to offer an affordable high quality 5G phone. Android phone makers are trying to reach the same prices in this segment.
Just look at the failed launch of the Samsung Galaxy S20 or Google's compromise with the Pixel 5. In the $ 699 and $ 799 price range, the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 are simply better than the Pixel 5, Galaxy S20, and even the OnePlus 8.
Apple is also keeping the iPhone XR and iPhone 11 in its lineup, which will retail for $ 499 and $ 599, respectively. Meanwhile, the iPhone 11 Pro is out of production.
