Apple unveils new iPhone 12
Rebecca Appleton • 14 October 2020
Four new models confirmed – and available for pre-order this week
Apple has confirmed that four new iPhone models will be launched in November, with the first devices available for pre-order from Friday this week. All four models are 5G compatible, will sit within the iPhone 12 range and include a brand new iPhone Mini.
The Mini is a first of its kind for Apple and as the name suggests has incredibly petite dimensions. Apple says it is actually the smallest 5G device on the planet, measuring just 5.4 inches or 13.7 centimetres from one corner to the other.
The new range includes two iPhone 12 Pro devices, one called the iPhone 12 Pro and one the iPhone 12 Pro Maxi. The Pro will boast a 6.1 inches / 15.4 centimetres Super Retina XDR display, while the Maxi has a larger 6.7 inches / 17.0 centimetres Super Retina XDR display. The bevel has also been reduced to increase screen size on both models.
Apple says its Ceramic Shield is four times stronger than glass to offer greater protection from cracked screens if the device is dropped.
Other standout features, on what is the most technologically packed design seen yet from Apple, include a surgical grade stainless steel case, industry-leading IP68 water resistance and superfast 5G wireless compatibility.
5G Compatible
Apple says its iPhone 12 makes the absolute most of 5G technology, explaining “5G transforms iPhone with accelerated wireless speeds and better performance on congested networks. Now you can download huge files on the go or stream high-quality HDR movies. Without. All. The. Lag. iPhone also has the most 5G bands of any smart¬phone so you get 5G in more places. And all that speed opens up amazing possibilities for the future of apps.”
5-Nanometre Chip
Under the surface, the iPhone 12 also packs an industry first 5-nanometre chip, called the A14 Bionic. Described by Apple as being “atoms wide” it has 40% more transistors to increase device speed and offers a superior battery life.
Camera
If you use your iPhone to create, the new designs also have Dolby Vision recording powers, which is totally unique to Apple. The camera comes in a 7-element wide lens and ultra wide, with improved low-light shot capability and greater sharpness and focus. The iPhone 12 Pro Max goes a step further, with iOS-powered stability when snapping and a 65mm Telephoto camera.
Depth Mapping
Another world (or out-of-this-world) first is the inclusion of LIDAR technology which is currently being used by NASA to scan the surface of Mars. In the iPhone 12 Pro it turbocharges any AR app experience with its ability to create a depth map of any space.
The new devices will be available in November.
