After a long wait, the iPhone 12 is at last official, having just been unveiled by Apple at the company’s virtual October event.
This is one of four new phones from the company it’s joined by the iPhone 12 mini, the iPhone 12 Pro, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Even though we don’t know much about the iPhone 12 here is what we know. The company has confirmed that it’ll be 5G-ready, allowing you to enjoy super-fast download and browsing speeds on your phone.
The iPhone 12 launch date is set for October 23, and you’ll have the option to pre-order the phone this Friday on October 16. You won’t have the option to pre-request the iPhone 12 mini until November 6, and the phone will be out on November 13.
Apple has affirmed the iPhone 12 cost will begin at $799 in the US, which is $100 more than the iPhone 11 range. This might be as a result of the 5G technology.
IPHONE PRICES
Here are some prices of the iPhone in some regions. When the phone officially launches we should get to know the price in other regions.
| Region | 64GB | 128GB | 256GB |
|---|---|---|---|
| US | $799 | $849 | $949 |
| UK | £799 | £849 | £949 |
| AU | AU$1,349 | AU$1,429 | AU$1,599 |
DESIGN AND DISPLAY
The new iPhone 12 highlights a 6.1-inch display size with an indent at the head of the showcase. It is by all accounts a similar size score as we’ve seen on late iPhone items.
The iPhone 12 comes in five colors, which are black, white, red, green and blue. You can see all of those colours in the picture below.
There’s an aluminum frame around the outside, and the edge appears to be less adjusted than on ongoing iPhones. It kind of examines the iPhone 5S as opposed to the iPhone 11’s adjusted corners.
The back of the phone is made of glass, but Apple was quick to clarify that this phone is harder than past iPhones. It’s utilizing another innovation on the front called Ceramic Shield, which it says will guarantee your screen is much more tough.
As at the time of this report we don’t know the exact dimensions of the iPhone 12, but the company confirmed it’s 11% thinner, 15% smaller and 16% lighter than the iPhone 11 that was introduced in 2019.
That 6.1-inch screen is a Super Retina XDR display, and it has double the amount of pixels as the iPhone 11. It also has a 1200 nit peak brightness, which should mean you’ll get a brighter display than on previous phones.
As with previous iPhones, the iPhone 12 is IP68 water and dust resistant. There’s volume buttons on the left hand side of the phone with a silence switch sitting just above it. The right hand edge of the phone features the power button.
5G TECHNOLOGY
Apple has confirmed the iPhone 12 will support 5G technology, which means you’ll be able to connect to the next-gen internet connectivity from your iPhone for the very first time.
Even though this has been a common feature on flagship Android phones since this year, this is the first time it has come to an Apple product.
The company has also confirmed it’s mmWave technology, meaning this technology will work on Verizon in the US. We’ve yet to hear the other technologies being used, so we’re uncertain where 5G will be usable on the iPhone 12
SPECIFICATIONS
The iPhone 12 is powered by the A14 Bionic chipset that’s the chipset we’ve already seen confirmed for the iPad Air 4 – and it’s the worlds first 5nm chipset. Apple says it’ll be almost 40% more powerful than the A13 chipset in iPhone 11 range.
Apple is calling this the “fastest chip ever in a smartphone”. That’s a big claim, and it’s sure to be something we put through its paces when we get the iPhone 12 in our hands.
You’ll have the choice of either 64GB, 128GB and 256GB. We’d recommend opting for one of the larger sizes as 64GB isn’t a lot of space on your phone, and there isn’t microSD support here so you can’t expand it further.
The phone also comes with iOS 14 right out of the box, so you’ll get all of the features that were introduced in last month’s big software update right away on your phone.
CAMERA ?
The iPhone 12 accompanies a double back camera. It’s a 12MP wide camera with a f/1.6 opening and a 12MP super wide shooter with a f/2.4 gap and a field of video of 120 degrees.
There’s a greater spotlight on computational photography with this age, for example, Smart HDR 3 just as Night Mode enhancements that should help improve your evening time photography.
Apple asserts the cameras will have 27% improved low-light execution, which will be very momentous considering the organization previously had solid low-light execution on the iPhone 11 territory. We’ve yet to hear what selfie camera you’ll jump on the iPhone 12.
BATTERY ?
We’ve yet to hear how large the battery is in the iPhone 12, and it’s impossible we’ll discover that detail until somebody gets the phone in their grasp and can do a teardown.
Rather, the Apple focuses on its enhancements to remote charging. The large improvement is called MagSafe, and it basically implies a remote charger that attractively snaps to the back of your phone.
ACCESSORIES
You won’t get a charger or Earbuds in the case with your iPhone 12. Rather, the company is simply including the USB-C to Lightning link that you’ll use with an end goal to restrict the measure of waste.
Also Apple says it’ll be creating its own accessories, but then we expect to see more from third-party manufacturers with the company confirming Belkin are working on accessories already.
This is all that we know about the iPhone 12 and are based solely on rumors as time goes on we would update you with more accurate informations as the unveils.
