Blast past fast.
5G speed. A14 Bionic, the fastest chip in a smartphone.?
?An edge-to-edge OLED display. Ceramic Shield with four times better drop performance. And Night mode on every camera. iPhone 12 has it all ? in two perfect sizes.
5G speed
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. iPhone makes the most of 5G.
A14 Bionic Chip
11trillion operations per second.
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. Same chip as iPhone 12 Pro.
Display
Super Retina XDR display
Behold OLED.
Vastly more contrast. Incredible colour accuracy. A huge jump in pixel density. Wow. Just wow. OLED delivers brighter brights, darker blacks and higher resolution for everything you look at. This is the best iPhone display we?ve ever made, and it goes all the way to the edge. Our best iPhone display ever!
Camera
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 colour that wasn?t possible before.
Evenings have entered the picture.
Night mode?senses when light is low and kicks in automatically, maintaining clarity while capturing beautiful vibrant colour. All you have to do is start snapping.
Photos that were once hard to capture ? like a dramatic moonlit scene ? now come out sharper than ever.
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.
Automatic magic.
Smart HDR 3?balances the elements in a shot, bringing out detail in the subject and trees while retaining the rich colour of the sky ? even at high noon.
Beyond faces, Smart HDR 3 uses machine learning to recognize scenes, then adjusts sharpness, colour and white balance where needed.
Even in bright light, Smart HDR 3 is amazing at capturing texture, skin tone, colour saturation and individual details that make photos feel true to life.
Face it. Nothing beats Portrait mode.
Portrait mode?is even better at artfully blurring the background to put all the focus on your subject. Lovely, isn?t it?
Take great photos even further by choosing from six creative lighting effects, like High?Key Light Mono, Natural Light and Studio Light.
How do you improve on the highest-quality video in a smartphone? Make it even better in low light ? a full 27 percent better. That means no hour is off limits for more beautifully detailed video. Then there?s Night mode Time-lapse. Just prop up your iPhone and let the light trails begin.
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 AirPlay to see all that colour and detail. It?s a start-to-finish cinematic experience ? found only on iPhone. Which comes in handy when your dog does something adorable.
First camera ever to record in Dolby Vision
TrueDepth Camera 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. Bring on the night.
Privacy
Privacy is built-in.
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.
Environment
We reduced our carbon footprint. By thinking inside the box.
Across the iPhone family, we?re removing the power adapter and EarPods that often go unused but including the fast-charging USB?C to Lightning cable that most people need. That shrinks packaging, and more boxes per shipment means fewer shipments overall. We?re also transitioning our manufacturing partners to renewable energy. Altogether, this eliminates over 2 million metric tons of carbon emissions annually.
Carbon savings equal to 450,000 fewer cars on the road per year
