Apple's 2020 cheaper model with 5G speed, dual 12MP Ultra Wide and Wide cameras with Night mode, 12MP TrueDepth camera, 6.1" all-screen OLED display with Ceramic Shield and longer battery
iPhone 12 Family Specs
Apple met the pricing and performance challenges posed by other flagship competitors by releasing four models of iPhone 12. Each offers blazing-fast performance more or less features based on the cost.
Features like MagSafe enable more efficient charging, new accessories and may ultimately replace the Lightning port in future models. The glass on the front is gone and replaced with a new material co-developed with Corning that is stronger than any other smartphone glass. That will be a big deal for any iPhone users who have been cradling a cracked screen for months, waiting for their contract to end.
iPhone 12 Mini Specs
The iPhone 12 Mini is designed to fit comfortably in your pocket while being powerful enough to manage anything you throw at it. It features the same A14 Bionic CPU and 5G connectivity as its larger siblings. The display is a relatively modest 5.7" and the base model starts at a meagre 64GB but with a price that undercuts most other flagship smartphones.
iPhone 12 Mini vs. iPhone SE (2020)
Apple also released an update to the budget iPhone SE this year. The $599 device looks and feels like a classic iPhone complete with Home Button, but inside is a powerful A13 Bionic CPU. Most hardware specifications including the display, camera and battery are borrowed from older iPhone generations. Meanwhile, the iPhone 12 Mini specs are almost identical to the new iPhone 12 except for size (and probably battery life), so it's a far more powerful smartphone while maintaining a modest size and price. Despite the larger screen, the iPhone 12 Mini is smaller and lighter than the iPhone SE. It's also about the same thickness even with the new MagSafe feature. The iPhone 12 Mini also includes the fast A14 Bionic CPU with enables 5G connectivity.
iPhone 12 Specs
The new flagship iPhone 12 is the model most fanatics will be looking at. Apple replaced the old LCD technology with a 6.1" OLED display with 2x the resolution. MagSafe enables easy wireless charging and new accessories that snap onto the back of the phone. Two rear 12MP cameras can shoot high quality photos with low distortion, and capture video in 4K in Dolby Vision HDR.
iPhone 12 Mini vs. iPhone 12
Besides price, the only significant difference between the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Mini is its size. The battery life may be shorter on the iPhone 12 Mini, but we'll need to test it out to confirm. What we do know is the display on the iPhone 12 is 6.1" compared to the 5.7" display on the iPhone 12 Mini. The resolution is nearly the same, which means the pixel density is higher on the smaller device. Both phones have incredible hardware so it really comes down to which one fits best in your hand (and does less damage to your wallet).
iPhone 12 vs. iPhone 11
The iPhone 12 makes modest tweaks to the best feature of the iPhone 11, the cameras. New Dolby Vision and 10-bit HDR enable professional-grade video recording. Where this phone really stands out is the beautiful OLED display with 2x the resolution of the iPhone 11. The new iPhone is available in seven colours with a stunning blue replacing the yellow option from last year. And, of course, there's 5G compatibility with over a hundred networks worldwide.
iPhone 12 Pro Specs
There's just no substitute for the best, and that's the iPhone Pro lineup. In addition to an upgraded A14 Bionic CPU and 5G connectivity, the iPhone 12 Pro can shoot video in Dolby Vision HDR at 4K and 60 frames-per-second. Apple added a LiDAR scanner for better depth analysis for photos, videos and Augmented Reality (AR) apps.
iPhone 12 vs. iPhone 12 Pro
The Pro lineup adds stainless steel detailing, a 12MP telephoto lens adding 2x more optical zoom and Apple ProRAW format for professional photo editing. The iPhone 12 Pro also enables 4K recording up to 60 frames-per-second, accurate depth sensing with a dedicated LiDAR sensor, and comes in Pacific Blue, Gold, Graphite and Silver colour options. All this focus on photography and shooting video requires more storage, so the base model starts at 128GB on the Pro models.
iPhone 12 Pro vs iPhone 11 Pro
Even though the screen is a larger 6.1", the height and width of the iPhone 12 Pro is nearly the same as the iPhone 11 Pro with 5.8" display. With the addition of Dolby Vision HDR and Apple RAW photo format, the iPhone 12 Pro offers professionals many of the features they seek in larger, more expensive dedicated camera equipment. The screen is 4x stronger so strapping an iPhone 12 Pro to a drone or car tripod brings little risk. The LiDAR scanner makes quick work of finding the subject and focusing in on it. Battery life takes a small hit, with 17 hours of video playback compared to the 18 hours in the iPhone 11 Pro, but new MagSafe accessories will likely appear that attach extra battery power with a simple snap.
iPhone 12 Pro Max Specs
The new iPhone 12 Pro Max matches all the premium specs of the iPhone 12 Pro, but adds Apple's largest screen ever at 6.7". The resolution gets a small bump in order to match the same pixel density as the iPhone 12 Pro and last year's iPhone 11 Pro Max. There's more battery life and larger image sensors in this premium model too.
iPhone 12 Pro vs. iPhone 12 Pro Max
Both the iPhone Pro models received significant upgrades in 2020. What normally separates the Pro and Pro Max is a larger display and more battery life. What's different this year is the inclusion of larger camera sensors on the iPhone 12 Pro Max bringing more light in for even better detail. Other than that, the only difference between the iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro Max is the price.
iPhone 12 Pro Max vs. iPhone 11 Pro Max
Everything there is to love about the iPhone 11 Pro Max is better on the iPhone 12 Pro Max. The screen is bigger without making the phone itself much larger (and actually a little bit thinner). The cameras capture more light and can save in the new AppleRAW format for professional editing. The video camera shoots in 4K Dolby Vision HDR at 60 frames-per-second. The new LiDAR sensor better detects depth and MagSafe accessories will likely replace spring-loaded claws for mounting iPhones. The only thing Apple didn't change is the price.
