Under strict COVID-19 guidelines, the all-new iPhone 12 series was announced via a pre-recorded video which detailed all its most prominent features and here are a few things you should know. 5G (sorry Pastor Chris) is truly coming and it is coming big time in the iPhone 12 series. Apple has partnered with Verizon to deliver 5G technology on all four variants of the iPhone 12 model. According to CNET.com, all models support mmWave 5G, at least in the US. There are four variants of the new iPhone namely: the 12 Mini, 12, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max. The new iPhone will be at least 15% lighter than the last one and will incorporate a better screen display than iPhone 11 with an OLED XDR display that offers 440 pixels per inch. Powering it is the A14 Bionic chip from Samsung (isn’t it ironic) which has AI functionalities. Unlike the iPhone 11, the camera is where the distinction happens between all the cameras. The iPhone 12, for instance, has dual setup with an f2.4 ultrawide camera and f1.6 wide view. Night mode is also enabled. It also would not be coming with a power adapter and earbuds. The 12 Pro and Pro Max are the premium variants and as such get three cameras as well as LIDAR for depth mapping, AR and low-light autofocus.
