Get a Brand New iPhone 12!
Apple revealed iphone 12 a little later than usual this year. But it was worth to wait. They introduced Iphone12 with new all designs and brand new processor, an improved camera and many more.The iPhone 12 is the kind of product Apple only releases once in a while — the kind that looks different, is built on a fundamentally new technology, and will ultimately form the basis of future iPhones for years to come.
It’s fortunate, then, that the new iPhone that most people will probably buy is also mostly a success. The iPhone 12 has an attractive new design, a straightforward and complete approach to 5G, good cameras and even better performance.
But an iPhone of all trades is a master of none, and thus, the iPhone 12 isn’t perfect, either. A low amount of base storage and the lack of a charger included in box means this iPhone isn’t as inexpensive as it may initially seem. Additionally, some of the best features coming out of the Android realm, like super-sharp digital zoom and fast-refresh rate displays, are missing in action here.
Nevertheless, you shouldn’t sweat the details. As our iPhone 12 review notes, Apple’s latest relatively-affordable premium handset is still fantastic all around, in spite of what bleeding-edge specs it may lack. Where it counts, it remains one of the best phones you can buy today.
While Apple staggered the iPhone 12 launch, all four models are now widely available. You can get them from your carrier, or unlocked from Apple, Amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers.
The iPhone 12 Mini starts at $699, and is the lineup’s small and affordable option. The iPhone 12 starts at $799 and goes up to $949 for the top storage option. We recommend opting for at least 128GB of storage.
The iPhone 12 Pro starts at $999, which gives you 128GB of storage, and goes up to $1,299 for the top storage option. At the top end, the iPhone 12 Pro Max starts at
$1,099.
The headline for 2020 is that Apple finally made a dramatic change to the overall hardware design, after evolving the iPhone X design for three generations. The latest design calls back to the iPhone 5 and falls in line with the latest iPad Pro and iPad Air.
The sides are now flat, with a matte finish on the iPhone 12 and a glossy finish on the iPhone 12 Pro. There are also sharper edges that transition to the glass front and back. The look is completed with smaller bezels around the entirety of the screen, though the top notch still houses the front-facing camera and Face ID tech. The design is complemented by a range of new colors, most notably a standout deep blue variant.
The iPhone 12 and 12 Mini come in black, blue, green, white, and red, while the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max come in black, blue, gold, and white.The second-most enticing part of the iPhone 12 line involves the screen sizes on offer. The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro now offer a 6.1-inch display, up from 5.8 inches, though, with the smaller bezels, the phones aren’t appreciably larger overall. New for the range is the iPhone 12 Mini (yes, that’s the real name), which features a 5.4-inch display that slots it just above the iPhone SE in Apple’s lineup. For those who want a huge display, there’s the iPhone 12 Pro Max with a 6.7-inch display.
Regarding that display, there’s a big improvement in durability: Ceramic Shield glass. Apple partnered with glassmaker Corning to create a new glass covering for the iPhone 12, called Ceramic Shield, that’s the strongest display covering currently commercially available. Apple claims it has 4x better drop performance, meaning it’s much more likely to survive a typical drop without cracking or breaking. We’ll have to wait and see how that translates to scratch resistance and other measures of durability. Early drop tests seem to suggest that Ceramic Shield is indeed very strong, which is promising.
None of the screens, even on the Pro models, have a 120Hz refresh rate or what Apple would call “ProMotion” technology. Though the screens are beautiful, it’s still a letdown in a year when nearly every Android phone released has at least a 90Hz refresh rate — and trust me, that really does make a difference in how the screen looks.
iPhone 12 cameras
The iPhone 12 has just two cameras again, a main lens and an ultrawide lens, but Apple has improved the main camera compared to the iPhone 11. The main camera has a new 7-element lens, and a wider f/1.6 aperture, to improve low-light photography — Apple claims a 27% improvement in low-light capabilities.
Apple has now enabled night mode on all of the cameras, so you can shoot low-light shots with both the rear ultrawide camera and the front-facing selfie camera. This means fewer opportunities to blind or blow out your subject with a flash. And all four iPhone 12 models have improved main camera OIS (optical image stabilization), which stabilizes at 5x the sample rate, enabling better long exposures — up to 2 seconds without a loss in sharpness.
For the iPhone 12 Pro, the cameras are taken to a new level. First off, you get three sensors with the addition of a “telephoto” lens at 52mm that provides 2x optical zoom over the main camera. The main camera is improved as well, like the iPhone 12, with an f/1.6 aperture and new 7-element lens for clearer photos.
Apple is doing even more on the iPhone 12 Pro Max, with improvements to the main and telephoto cameras. The main sensor has a new DSLR-like OIS system, called sensor shift, that stabilizes the sensor itself rather than the lens. With this new sensor system, low-light performance is improved over even the 12 Pro. The telephoto lens has a longer 65mm focal length, or 2.5x on the main lens, which gets you a little closer to your subject and reduces the amount of digital zoom required.
With the new A14 Bionic processor, Apple can bring its Deep Fusion advanced camera processing to all four cameras, including the selfie camera, for even better computational photography to resolve tough scenes, lighting, and textures. And, as usual, you can edit all your photos with Apple’s awesome image editing tech.
