Currently, the 5G infrastructure is not yet developed but in the future, it will grow, and Apple built these iPhones keeping the future in mind. It will offer great download and upload speeds.

The new iPhone 12

The new iPhone 12 is aesthetically impressive. Its design is inspired by the classic iPhone 5, It has a flat back, and the front is made up of "Ceramic Shield" instead of glass (we will discuss it later in the article). The camera console is just like the iPhone 11 with a square camera console.

Antennas are placed on the sides keeping better coverage as a priority. The frame of the phone is built from aluminum and available in 6 colors;

Display

The screen is now finally upgraded to the OLED from the ultra-high-definition LCD panels. The screen has thinner bezels, but the notch is there, unfortunately. Apple announced that the screen resolution is 2583x1170, with 2.8 million pixels and an excellent pixel density of 460ppi. iPhone 12 boosts 6.1 inches, 1080P OLED display, whereas iPhone 11 had 720P LCD. The screen is a significant improvement from the last year's iPhones with excellent contrast, better brightness, and vivid colors. The Screen is HDR 10 certified as well.

Apple’s new 5nm, A14 Bionic Chip

Shocking news for non-enthusiasts is that the new iPhone 12 will ship without a charger in the box. You will need to buy that separately. It might indicate Apple's ambition to make port fewer devices in the future. However, the chargers will be available individually for purchase online as well as physical outlets.

Cameras

The camera setup is the same dual 12-megapixel camera setup with a 12 MP primary camera. It seems like the same module as the last years iPhone. Still, it is a significant improvement in terms of software optimizations. The new night mode feature enables users to take high-quality night/lowlight shots with every camera.

The ultra-wide camera is also 12 MP. Apple claims that cameras will perform great in low light conditions due to a 5-element lens setup for an ultra-wide and 7-element lens for a wide-angle camera with f1.6 aperture. The new camera module will have Smart HDR3 and improved night mode.

The front-facing camera is also great. The front TrueDepth 8MP shooter is equipped with the latest software upgrades. Night mode is also available in a selfie shooter. There is a new night mode time-lapse videography feature that seems pretty exciting.
