On Oct.16, Apple gave the option to preorder one of its new iPhones. On Oct. 23, Apple launched the new phones. The options given were the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 pro, and iPhone 12 pro max.
While there is a lot of hype around these new phones, I’m here to tell you that they are worth all of it.
The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini come in the colors blue, green, black, white, and red, while the iPhone 12 pro and iPhone 12 pro max come in the colors gold, pacific blue, silver, and graphite.
The 12s have a new physical design that include flat edges instead of Apple’s prior iPhone rounded edges, and they come in the sizes 5.4”, 6.1”, and 6.7”.
The iPhone 12 mini is the smallest iPhone that Apple has introduced since 2016, when Apple came out with the iPhone SE.
The pro iPhones offer a triple-lens 3D camera while the iPhone 12 and 12 mini come with a dual-lens camera setup.
The new iPhones include an A14 bionic chip and all OLED displays. OLED stands for organic light emitting diode and is a light-emitting diode containing thin flexible sheets of an organic electroluminescent material, used mainly in digital display screens.
The iPhones have all-day battery life and 5G connectivity that is used for better connectivity, higher quality video streaming, and improved gaming. It also calls for higher quality 1080p FaceTime calls.
The iPhone 12’s starting price is $799. The iPhone 12 mini’s starting price is $699. The iPhone 12 pro’s starting price is $999. And lastly, the iPhone 12 pro max’s starting price is $1,099.
Only the iPhone 12 devices that are sold here in the United States support the mmWave 5G, the fastest 5G technology available.
So would I recommend you get one of the newer iPhones?
Yes, because the iPhone 12’s do live up to all the buildup.
Not only do they have amazing camera quality, they have better video streaming, longer lasting battery life, and the fastest 5G technology available. If you’re in need of a new phone, now is the time to consider getting one of these new iPhones.
