The most awaited release is here! From the past few months, Apple users have asked whether there will be iPhone 12 or not. iPhone users have been asking around about the iPhone 12 launch date. But little did they know, Tim Cook was planning to give them a surprise. The very first question in your mind right now is about iPhone 12 specification and price. This article is all about that only, but before we move on, let’s see which models did Apple launch at an event.

After the classic release of the iPhone 11 and the breakthrough of iOS 14 in the market, it seems like Apple has gained a few more iPhone lovers. Let’s get to the point:

On Saturday, 13th October 2020, Apple launched the new iPhone 12 lineup in a virtual event.

Since then, it has stirred a commotion in the market. Be it because of its specifications, price, release date, or a sudden drop in Apple’s share (more on that later).

There has been launching of four models including iPhone 12, new iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max. The mini version is the first-ever model of any iPhone series, let’s hope it satisfies the expectations.

iPhone 12 Specification: Every Model

iPhone 12 specification

Here we have explained in detail about the specification of the iPhone 12 series. Along with an explanation, we have prepared a table where you will easily be able to learn about the specs of all models and compare them.

Design and Display

As for the design of all models, they are quite similar but in different sizes. iPhone 12 has five color variations: black, white, green, red, and blue. If you liked the model 5s more than any other, you will love the shape of this model. It has an aluminum frame with less rounded edges.

This time Apple has worked more on the durability factor, the front of the phone is made of a ceramic shield, and the rear is of glass. They said the new technology with the ceramic shield will protect your phone better, ensuring durability.

The iPhone 12 lineup’s dimensions reflect, they are 11% thinner, 15% smaller, and 16% lighter than the previous model. The display has 1200-nits peak brightness for the brighter display than iPhone 11.

New iPhone 12 and 5G

iPhone 12 5G

Do you know the iPhone 12 lineup is 5G compatible? Yes, Apple had promised earlier, that 2020 models will all be 5G compatible. On the right side above the power button, there’s a 5G antenna in the form of a small indent, which will allow the phone to connect with a network.

It is the first time the iPhone has the 5G tech, though it is common in many of the Android companies. The company has ensured that 5G tech is both sub-5 and mmWave, which will allow it to work with Verizon around the US. As for other countries, it will use sub-6 technology to connect with other network providers.

Theoretically, the speed of the iPhone 12 5G is 4Gbps, which is pretty impressive. (Though we doubt whether any network provider will be able to provide such speed. Haha! Kidding!)

So now the question is – what if you don’t need to use 5G? It has a smart mode that will allow you to switch to the 4G network saving battery consumption.

iPhone 12 features an A14 Bionic chipset enabling fast speed to the phone. It is the fastest chip ever in the smartphone. What about storage variations? The iPhone 12 series will come with 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB storage options. (64GB isn’t recommended, as you won’t be left with much space to use.)

Camera

The iPhone 12 lineup has a dual rear camera. For the specs refer to the Specification Table. The company has claimed that this model has improved colors, contrasts, and night mode. There’s a 27% improvement in the low light performance. The bigger focus is on computational photography with Smart HDR 3 tech.

Battery

As for the battery’s performance, it is still unknown. According to the company, it has 16 hours of offline video playback battery life. Rest can be known after testing only. Apart from that, the new feature in the iPhone 12 is MagSafe. A magnet installed within the phone enabling it to charge on the wireless charging pad. Also this time, it has a fast-charging feature that can charge up your phone from 0 to 50% within half an hour (for which you will need a separate 20W charger).

As for accessories, this time Apple won’t be shipping charger or headsets, instead just a  USB-C-to-Lightning cable. You can buy the mount separately from online platforms or stores. Also, the box itself will be slimmer with the phone. The purpose of this decision is to minimize the amount of e-waste.
