Apple iPhone 12

iPhone 12, Blast past fast.

5G speed. A14 Bionic, the fastest chip in a smartphone. Mode on every camera. iPhone 12 has it all in perfect size. 6.1” Super Retina XDR display

Ceramic shield. Clearly tougher than any Smartphone Glass.

Enter Ceramic Shield. It’s made by introducing nano-ceramic crystals which are actually harder than most metals into glass. Sounds simple, but it’s incredibly difficult because ceramic isn’t transparent. By controlling the type of crystals and degree of crystallinity, we developed an exclusive formula that maximizes the toughness of the ceramic while remaining optically clear. This was the breakthrough that made Ceramic Shield ideally suited for the display. It’s a first in any smartphone, and it’s tougher than any smartphone glass.

Even Better Spill and Splash Resistance

5G speed OMGGGGG

5G on iPhone is superfast. So you can download movies on the fly. Stream higher-quality video. Or FaceTime in HD over cellular. With lots less lag. And you can do it in more places, because iPhone 12 has the broadest 5G coverage worldwide.

A14 Bionic is the fastest chip in a smartphone. And it pushes what’s possible. Like crunching trillions of operations on the Neural Engine. Or shooting in Dolby Vision even pro movie cameras can’t do that. It’s superefficient for great battery life. And it’s ahead of its time, prepared to power pretty much anything that comes next.

Dual Camera System Welcome to the Dark Side

Both the Wide and Ultra Wide cameras now have Night mode and it’s better than ever at capturing incredible low-light shots. The new Wide camera brings in 27 percent more light. So whether you take photos by day or by moonlight, you’ll get a level of detail and color that wasn’t possible before.

Deep Fusion, in mid to low light, analyzes multiple exposures to maximize detail. Check out the texture in the wood, fabric, and crystal. And the Ultra Wide gets you a heroic perspective.

Smart HDR 3 balances the elements in a shot, bringing out detail in the subject and trees while retaining the rich color of the sky even at high noon.

And boom. You own a film studio.

Now you can record 4K HDR video with Dolby Vision. Edit in Photos or iMovie. Then zap it to your TV using AirPlay7 to see all that color and detail. It’s a start-to-finish cinematic experience found only on iPhone. Which comes in handy when your dog does something adorable.

Night mode selfies you look amazing in the dark.

Nighttime is the right time for a selfie. Because Night mode and a slew of other great features are now on the front camera. Like Deep Fusion, Smart HDR 3, Dolby Vision recording, and more. You lucky duck face.

Magsafe accessories everything just clicks.

Snap on a new MagSafe case, wallet, or both. (Fear not, the wallet is shielded so it’s safe for credit cards.)

Turbo chargeable.

Magnets align themselves perfectly every time for faster wireless charging.

Privacy is built in.

iPhone is designed to protect your information. Face ID data doesn’t leave your iPhone and is never backed up to iCloud or anywhere else. iOS shows you an app’s privacy practices before you download it. When you use Apple Pay, your card number isn’t shared with merchants. And the list goes on.
