Apple introduced the iPhone 12 on October 13, 2020. It has since been succeeded by
the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 lineups. Apple continues to sell the iPhone 12 at a
discounted price, while the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 mini has been discontinued entirely.
The 6.1-inch iPhone 12 was a successor to the iPhone 11 from 2019, while the 5.4-inch
iPhone 12 was an all-new size and marked the smallest iPhone Apple had introduced since
the 2016 iPhone SE. Aside from screen size and battery size, the two phones are technically
identical. With its small size, the iPhone 12 mini is ideal for those who prefer an iPhone
that can be used one-handed.
The iPhone 12 and 12 mini feature Super Retina XDR OLED displays,
with an edge-to-edge design with the exception of the Face ID notch and small bezels around the edge.
The 5.4-inch iPhone 12 mini has a resolution of 2430 x 1080 with 476 pixels per
inch and the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 has a resolution of 2532 x 1170 with 460 pixels
per inch. The displays offer HDR support with 1200 nits peak brightness, Wide
Color for vivid, true-to-life colors, Haptic Touch for feedback, and True Tone
to match the color temperature of the display to the ambient lighting for a more
natural viewing experience.
Apple overhauled the design of the iPhone 12 lineup in 2020, introducing flat
edges that were a departure from the rounded edges of prior models and are similar
in design to the iPad Pro. The front of the iPhone is protected by a Ceramic Shield
cover that replaces the standard cover glass of previous models. Apple says the Ceramic
Shield is infused with nano-ceramic crystals and offers 4x better drop performance.
Apple largely carried over the iPhone 12 design and Ceramic Shield for the iPhone 13,
and the two generations look very similar to one another.
As with other recent models, the back of the iPhone 12 is made from glass,
with the two halves of the device sandwiching an aerospace-grade aluminum
enclosure that comes in six colors: blue, green, black, white, (PRODUCT)RED,
and purple, an extra color added in April 2021.. The iPhone 12 models offer
IP68 water and dust resistance and can hold up to submersion in 6 meters of
water for up to 30 minutes.
The iPhone y12 models were the first to support 5G connectivit for faster downloads
and uploads, better quality video streaming, improved gaming, and higher-definition
1080p FaceTime calls. 5G coverage is available worldwide, but only iPhone 12 devices
sold in the United States support mmWave 5G, which is the fastest 5G technology available.
iPhone 12 models sold in other countries are limited to the slower but more widely available
Sub-6GHz 5G connectivity. In the U.S., 5G speeds can be as high as 4Gbps, even in highly populated areas
Gigabit LTE is supported when 5G isn't available, and to preserve battery life when using 5G,
a Smart Data Mode reverts to an LTE connection when 5G speeds aren't necessary.
