Introduction
The explosion passed quickly. Apple's relevant tag line skips the S models and goes straight to the iPhone 12 from the iPhone 11 which is already faster.
But it is not just the improved speed you will get. The iPhone 12 also comes with many other enhancements, including a new design with improved durability, an OLED screen, and 5G support. The new OLED screen has smaller bezels than ever before, and there are new MagSafe powerful new charging support. And it's one of the easiest iPhones to buy. What do you dislike?
All iPhone 12s use the new design language, and that’s why Apple skipped the moniker, which was supposed to happen this year. Honestly, make-up is nothing new. It’s like Apple is getting back to its roots by restoring the iconic design of the iPhone Series 4 and 5. And boy, would we have missed that.
The best part about the new iPhone 12 is that you can get it for a small price at a very low price without losing a single item.
Apple just can’t do without controversy, and 2020 is no different. This year the iPhones lost the included box accessories - no more chargers, no more EarPods. What you find in a new unbelievable little box is just a USB cable. And we're afraid it's only a matter of time until this move, too.
The new special software features only available on the iPhone 12 include Night Mode on all cameras and Dolby Vision video Capture.
As was the case with Series 11 and the hardest glass on Earth, Series 12 now has solid glass panels called Ceramic Shield, made by Corning. The iPhone 12 duo also gets aluminum frames to replace them with stainless steel in the iPhone 12 Pro pair.

Unfortunately, there are no pre-released features on the new iPhones - the 3.5mm jack and 3D Touch are gone. There are no changes to the way iOS handles files, too.
We’re glad Apple was really excited to keep up with 2019 prices, but it’s not that easy, is it? Now, if you want to buy a charger and wireless earphones, you'll have to pay extra € 25 for a 20W Apple adapter (or the same USB-PD charger) and € 20 for Apple EarPods. And I'm talking about the sales box ...
