Apple has finally done the needful by announcing its highly anticipated iPhone 12 series.
The mobile giant unveiled the new iPhone line during its virtual event themed “Hi-Speed.”
While the event was held later than usual, the wait was worth the while.
Apple, in line with several leaked blog posts, rolled out four different models of its flagship iPhones.
These models include iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max.
The iPhone 12 mini model doubles as the base model.
Also, it’s the first time Apple is using the “mini” moniker on its iPhone line.
Beyond the obvious disparity in terms of size, the new iPhones mostly share similar specifications.
Some common features include the 5G connectivity, an A14 Bionic chip and a new ceramic-hardened display.
According to the mobile giant, the new ceramic-hardened display is dubbed as a “ceramic shied.”
Apple informed that the ceramic shied is tougher than any conventional smartphone glass.
As such, it can resist damages from a drop four times better than the usual durability.

Just before we look into each of the iPhones, here is the full list of specifications across the board:

In addition, the new iPhones also share the same OLED display.
Not just that, they all share the same or perhaps got the new iPad Pro design.
We feel the design is classic, and of course, a revisit of the old style.
Recall that the earlier iPhone 4 and 5 share similar looks except for a few disparities.
Interestingly, all four iPhone 12 models share the same 12-megapixel (f/1.6) main camera.
For record purposes, these devices are equipped with the fastest aperture in any iPhone yet.

Also, Apple introduced a new feature called magnetic MagSafe connector across the iPhone lines.
The MMS connector supports wireless chargers including any Qi-enabled devices and magnetic cases or accessories.
However, a prominent feature is missing.
Apple omitted the popular 120GHz high screen refresh rate from the latest iPhone lines.
Apple is known for coming late to the party, and it’s not a different case with this.
iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12
The iPhone 12 mini is the first of its kind by name, and partially by nature.
Apple claims that the phone is the smallest, lightest, and thinnest 5G phone globally.
