What's the new iPhone called?


New Iphone 12 has four model.

  • iPhone   12 mini (5.4in)
  • iPhone 12 (6.1in)
  • iPhone 12 Pro (6.1in)
  • iPhone 12 Pro Max (6.7in)

Price & availability

All four models was announced  , but Apple is splitting them into two groups for the actual launch.

The two 'medium' 6.1in phones, the 12 and 12 Pro, will be available for pre-order on 16 October and go on sale on 23 October. \

The iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 12 Pro Max, meanwhile, will be delayed until next month. They will be available for pre-order on 6 November and go on sale on 13 November.

Here's the starting prices for the four models:

You can find full pricing on Apple's website. EE has also announced it will be stocking the new phones from 16 October (12 and 12 Pro) and 6 November (12 mini and 12 Pro Max); you can register your interest on EE's website.

Design 

Apple has gone for a return to the flatter, squarer-edged design of the iPhone 4 and its progeny (and the current iPad Pro models), rather than the curved-edge style we've grown used to in recent years.

Whether that's good news will depend on your personal tastes. I think the squared-off design looks better, but devices in that style are harder to pick up and feel less pleasant in the hand.


So much for shape. But there are two other significant changes to the design; one is extremely practical, and the other is totally cosmetic. Let's do the practical one first.

Ceramic Shield

Apple has frequently talked up iPhone screen strength in the past. To a degree that's fair, thanks to the inclusion of Corning's Gorilla Glass, but no iPhone I've ever tested has been completely scratch-proof.

Corning was specifically namechecked in the iPhone 12 presentation because it's supplying a new material for these handsets called Ceramic Shield. This is apparently "infused with nano-ceramic crystals" to "dramatically improve toughness", offers 4x better drop protection than the previous generation, and is "tougher than any smartphone glass". I'm using lots of quote marks because there's no way of knowing if the iPhone 12 can walk the walk until we test it, but it sounds good.

Colour finishes

There are some great new colours to choose from. 

The iPhone 12 and 12 mini come in white, black, blue, green and (Product) Red, of which blue and green are new. Green is surprisingly pale and looks decent; the blue is rich and dark.



The 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max, meanwhile, come in silver, gold, Graphite (possibly a rebranding of Space Grey/Black, although again I'd like to see if it looks different up close) and the totally new Pacific Blue. Pacific Blue is a bit greyer than the blue of the iPhone 12,



5G

Now we're into the new features - and the headline feature for this generation is support for 5G, which Apple calls "the most exciting step yet". The company really couldn't have played this any bigger, with the presenters at various points standing in front of a vast (albeit presumably virtual) 5G logo covering the entire stage.


Apple made a lot of boasts about how well 5G is going to work, but of course it's the carriers that will have to do the heavy lifting. Apple had a representative from Verizon on stage, who started promisingly by proclaiming "With iPhone, the wait is over. 5G just got real" but then - understandably - spent most of his time talking about how great Verizon's 5G network is and soon will be, the stadiums and airports it will cover and the capacity and latency it will offer.

The general benefits of 5G are obvious: you get faster internet access when away from home Wi-Fi, perhaps as much as 4Gbps under absolutely optimal conditions, Verizon reckons. But the actual specific speeds will vary hugely depending on time and (above all) location.

The iPhone 12 range support the most 5G bands of any smartphone, Apple said, and offer a Smart Data Mode whereby, when 5G doesn't offer any benefits, the phone will switch to LTE to save on battery. They support the especially high-speed mmWave version of 5G.

MagSafe

The iPhone 12 launch sees the return of MagSafe, a beloved feature on MacBook power leads that Apple began phasing out in 2016.

MagSafe here means a system of magnets designed to hold a wireless charging pad in the right place to charge the iPhone. That's handy, for sure: many iPhone owners will know the pain of putting their device on a charging pad carelessly and discovering eight hours later that it wasn't on the sweet spot and couldn't draw any power. (Always listen out for the little ping!)


On the MacBook, of course, MagSafe wasn't just about holding the power cable in place: it also allowed it to separate from the device if yanked (when someone blundered into the wire, usually) rather than sending the MacBook crashing to the floor. I would say the second part of that was the most important, and to be honest can't really see how it applies to the new version of MagSafe Apple is launching for the iPhone. Still, it looks and sounds convenient, if not quite as potentially disaster-averting as the older version.

There is no power adapter included with the iPhone 12 - or the XR, 11 or SE from now on.

Cameras

We don't get any more conventional lenses this year - Apple hasn't done a Gillette and pushed to four lenses on the rear - nor have the main cameras specs changed. But aside from its obvious AR capabilities, the addition of a new LiDAR scanner opens up new photographic possibilities: faster autofocus in low light, and a new feature: Night Mode portraits.

Talking of which, Apple has also added Night Mode time-lapse photography, and an updated version of its Smart HDR feature for combining multiple exposures to tackle complex lighting conditions: Smart HDR 3. This produced some terrific-looking mixed-conditions shots in the demo.

Support for HDR video formats is new this year, too.

Screen

In two cases the screens are bigger than in the past. By squeezing down the bezel size Apple has kept the chassis sizes roughly the same but bumped screen sizes of 6.1in/5.8in/6.5in (11/11 Pro/11 Pro Max) to 6.1in/6.1in/6.7in (12/12 Pro/12 Pro Max). The iPhone 12 mini is a new screen size at 5.4in.

In several cases the screens are sharper too: all four of the new models have a pixel density of at least 458ppi (pixels per inch), whereas the iPhone 11 generation were split between 458ppi (the Pros) and 326ppi (the standard iPhone 11). In fact the iPhone 12 mini has the highest pixel density of any iPhone, at 476ppi.

  • iPhone 12 mini: 5.4in, 2340 x 1080 at 476ppi
  • iPhone 12: 6.1in, 2532 x 1170 at 460ppi
  • iPhone 12 Pro: 6.1in, 2532 x 1170 at 460ppi
  • iPhone 12 Pro Max: 2778 x 1284 at 458ppi
