With high resolution the HDR display comes to live and gives and excellent experience while watching High Definition Movies and Playing games.
Deep Fusion
In the iPhone XS, Apple publicly shed light on its smart computational photography system. Smart HDR was introduced, which promised to combine many exposure at once in an instant when you click the button to take a photo. But the images were not perfect, it felt like it was smoothing over faces a lot.
With Smart HDR 3 now in iPhone 12 and Pro, we feel that iPhone can prevent this kind miss happenings. Also with its new Deep Fusion a new technology that kicks in low and medium light, it is promised to be improve photography even more.
The Telephoto Camera with 65 mm Focal Length allows for longer framing and can optically zoom in 2.5 times to take closer shots. Making it a 5x Zooming from Ultra wide lens to Telephoto Lens
- 47% Larger sensor and 1.7 micron pixel gives iPhone 87% improvement in Low Light.
- Optical Image Stabilisation using sensor shift that applies stabilisation to the sensor instead of the heavy lens, to precisely control motion on X and Y axis.
- 5x more micro-adjustments per seconds.
RAW Photography
ProRAW, according to Apple, gives you the standard RAW, which should offer some fantastic flexibility when editing, and it seems it was only announced and might be limited to the iPhone 12 Pro.
HDR Video Recording
Now record video in iPhones with HDR enabled. iPhone 12 pros can record in 10 bit HDR recording, capturing 7million more colours, that is 60 times more colours than before.
Record in Dolby Vision HDR with 4k Res and 60 fps also 6x Faster auto Focus in low light.
- iPhone 12 Pro starting from $999 with base 128Gb and Top 512Gb

Adaptor Gone
So its finally Confirmed that apple removed the charger adaptor from its package making the packing size 70% smaller as claimed by apple and reducing the carbon footprints. So all we will get inside the iPhone box is the iPhone and the new Lighting cable which we can use with our previous adaptor or buy a new on from apple or any other 3rd party.
Conclusion
The Apple Event was Exciting as it unveiled The Home Pod Mini and the iPhone 12 Series. Apple did a great job this year by release a mini version iPhone 12 which will become a key feature selling the device and its easier to use and handle. The Pro and Pro Max Models has the best Camera and Telephoto lens out there with their computational photography and Smart HDR 3 will be able to click beautiful and crisp Low Light photos as well the new HDR Recording which will record videos in 10 bit HRD recording.
The Adaptor was removed too soon. As iPhone 11Pro were the only model that had an USB C type adaptor and users who have 11 Pro are less likely to buy iPhone 12. So most of the users who will buy iPhone 12 will have to buy the adaptor separately from apple or any other third party manufactures.
