Apples new iPhone 12 lineup
iPhone 12 & 12 mini (What most people should get)
Just as we expected, Apple came out with an iPhone 12 and 12 mini. The design has changed to look like the iPhone 5 with some features taken from the iPhone 11 Pro like FaceID and 3 cameras.
From $29.12/mo. or $699 before trade-in
For the first time, the cheaper version of the iPhone gets an OLED display like the Pro phones.
Blast past fast.
5G speed. A14 Bionic, the fastest chip in a smartphone.
An edge-to-edge OLED display. Ceramic Shield with four times better drop performance. And Night mode on every camera. iPhone 12 has it all — in two perfect sizes.
This year is the year that phones get 5G, and Apple is no different. 5G is what Apple is trying to push as its feature for this year’s model.
5G on iPhone is superfast. So you can download movies on the fly. Stream higher-quality video. Or FaceTime in HD over cellular. With lots less lag. And you can do it in more places because iPhone 12 has the broadest 5G coverage worldwide

A14 Bionic is the fastest chip in a smartphone.
And it pushes what’s possible. Like crunching trillions of operations on the Neural Engine. Or shooting in Dolby Vision — even pro movie cameras can’t do that. It’s superefficient for great battery life. And it’s ahead of its time, prepared to power pretty much anything that comes next. This is the same chip that is found in the new iPhone 12 Pros.
Cameras
Both the Wide and Ultra Wide cameras now have Night mode — and it’s better than ever at capturing incredible low-light shots. The new Wide camera brings in 27 percent more light. So whether you take photos by the day or by moonlight, you’ll get a level of detail and color that wasn’t possible before.
Night mode senses when light is low and kicks in automatically, maintaining clarity while capturing beautiful vibrant color. All you have to do is start snapping. Nighttime is the right time for a selfie. Because Night mode and a slew of other great features are now on the front camera. Like Deep Fusion, Smart HDR 3, Dolby Vision recording, and more. You lucky duck face.
Deep Fusion, in mid to low light, analyzes multiple exposures to maximize detail. Check out the texture in the wood, fabric, and crystal. And the Ultra Wide gets you a heroic perspective.
Smart HDR 3 balances the elements in a shot, bringing out detail in the subject and trees while retaining the rich color of the sky — even at high noon.
Colors
There are 5 colors with the iPhone 12 and 12 mini.
Black, White, (PRODUCT)RED, Green, Blue
Magsafe
Do you remember MagSafe on the older MacBooks? Well, it came back in a different sort of way. So many people seem to put their phone the wrong way on their wireless charger causing the phone to charge slower or not at all. So Magsafe snaps a wireless charger to the back of your iPhone with magnets so you never need to worry about if the connection was made.
There are also some accessories that take advantage of Magsafe like a magnetic wallet that connects to the back of your phone.
Apple is “Saving” the world (NOT)
Across the iPhone family, we’re removing the power adapter and EarPods that often go unused, but including the fast-charging USB‑C to Lightning cable that most people need. That shrinks packaging, and more boxes per shipment mean fewer shipments overall. We’re also transitioning our manufacturing partners to renewable energy. Altogether, this eliminates over 2 million metric tons of carbon emissions annually.
I personally think this is a cheap move. If Apple gave us a cheaper iPhone by removing the charging brick and headphones I’m sure we would appreciate it more. But removing these items in the name of “Reducing our carbon footprint” is not appreciated.
Sizes
The size of the iPhone 12 screen is 6.1" screen, while the iPhone 12 mini has a 5.4" screen.
iPhone 12 Pro & Pro Max (What the Pros will get)
From $41.62/mo. or $999 before trade‑in
The iPhone 12 Pro & Pro Max has all the same features as the iPhone 12 with some hardware improvements.
The sides of the iPhone 12 Pro is stainless steel instead of aluminum.
It has three cameras and a lidar sensor instead of 2 cameras
The size of the iPhone 12 Pro is 6.1"
The size of the iPhone 12 Pro Max is 6.7"
The colors are Silver, Graphite, Gold, Pacific Blue
5G
5G goes Pro. A14 Bionic rockets past every other smartphone chip. The Pro camera system takes low-light photography to the next level — with an even bigger jump on iPhone 12 Pro Max. And Ceramic Shield delivers four times better drop performance. Let’s see what this thing can do.
Apple is really trying to push its 5G as a great reason to buy a new iPhone. While there are some parts of the USA that do support 5G, the technology is not ready for the general public. If 5G is the only reason you think the iPhone 12 line is cool, then you will be disappointed.
