Apple has just officially launched the iPhone 12. This is the mid-range model of this new generation iPhone, which surpasses the expected iPhone 12 mini, but inferior to the 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max models. The iPhone 11 is one of Apple’s best-selling products, based on top-of-the-line specs without a frame and at a relatively reasonable price.
This strategy is repeated this year, with mid-range models that do not use three cameras. Still, there is a big (and expected) breakthrough for screens. In other words, the iPhone 12 uses OLED technology and Full HD (Super Retina XDR) resolution on a 6.1-inch panel. 5G connectivity is also the protagonist of this iPhone 12, which on paper presents an uphill battle for less than 1,000 euros.
Familiar sound design and redesigned screen
The design of the iPhone 12 is similar to what we saw in previous generations, but Apple would occasionally paint brush strokes with different strokes. The first noticeable change comes from the frame’s hands. The frame hands are much tighter on both sides and at the top and bottom. Now, remember last year that the iPhone 11 had more bezels than the iPhone 12 due to the lack of flexibility in the IPS panel. Thanks to the use of the OLED screen, the iPhone 12 makes better use of the front panel.
Specifically, according to Apple data, the iPhone 12 is 11% thinner, 15% smaller and 16% lighter than the iPhone 11. Meanwhile, the screen diagonal of this model is the same as that of the last year, but there are significant changes. .
Therefore, this year’s iPhone 12 has the same number of frames as the Pro model and has fewer frames than the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max. As for the notch that says a lot, it continues to compensate and occupies a part of the front of the device. By rotating the device, you can trace back to last year’s lineup, with glass as the star.
The iPhone 12 has been slightly redesigned. The side frames are now flatter and more angular, reminiscent of the iPhone and 5.
The aircraft’s aerospace aluminum frame has been redesigned. Now remember the iPhone
flatter and straighter than the curvature seen on iPhone 6 and later Apple devices. For this iPhone 12, there are no jumps. Followed by stainless steel spikes. make a reservation. For professional models.
In terms of panels, this year we have a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR screen with OLED technology. So, ending a huge gulf in front of the Pro model panel, the iPhone 11 has appeared in HD resolution and IPS technology since last year. The refresh rate is 60 Hz, which does not come from uncompetitive promotions on the iPhone 12 or its Pro.
More on-board power and 5G connectivity
The processor that gives life to the iPhone 12 is the Apple A1
Bionic, the same chip that launched the new iPad Air earlier. It is the first mobile processor with 5 nanometer technology. This processor has two high-performance cores and four cores to maintain the balance between power and autonomy, dedicated to low-demand tasks. This processor supports 5GSA and NSA connectivity.
As always, Apple does not provide RAM numbers, but it should be
GB for this iPhone 12 and 6GB for the Pro model. If you do not have an Apple charger, you will need to purchase one separately. at home.
MagSafe is the star of this iPhone 12. Simply hold the magnetic attachment near the back of your iPhone to connect.
Go back to bet on the biometric level of Face ID. Apple will take advantage of a point projector to re-implement 3D facial recognition, where this information is guaranteed to be stored locally. One of the great new features of this iPhone is MagSafe, a magnetic technology that allows you to connect a variety of accessories, such as cases, to chargers. It is also possible to improve wireless charging, a technology that was present in the iPhone 11, but has improved in this new family of iPhone.
Dual camera with better lens and larger aperture
The iPhone 12, like its predecessor, is based on a dual camera setup with the iPhone 11. The main sensor has a 12 megapixel wide angle and stays at 12 megapixels. Like last year, the main sensor is equipped with an optical image stabilization mechanism. In this case, the iPhone 12 has a better lens and sensor with an aperture of f / 1.7, which improves photography in dark places.
As is customary at Apple, the work is largely delegated to software, with notable improvements. The first of these is the next-gen HDR, Smart HDR 3. It promises better dynamic range and is meant to be rich in detail.
In addition to the best lenses, the big step is in the video. IPhone 12 is the first mobile phone to record 10-bit depth with Dolby Vision K.
But the big step is in the video. The iPhone 12 was the first mobile phone to record in the
