iPhone 12 features

5G connectivity

The biggest new addition to the iPhone is adding 5G connectivity to all iPhone 12 models. Phone network operators across the UK have been rolling out 5G in the country since last year, although the new networks aren’t yet available everywhere.

5G will increase download speeds, meaning iPhone 12 customers in 5G coverage areas will be able to download new apps and stream high definition television shows more quickly than people with 3G or 4G smartphones.

5G also increases the bandwidth of phone signals. You may have noticed that you struggle to get data reception in particularly busy places like train stations. 5G should solve this issue.

Apple said in its keynote that the company has updated its software to take advantage of 5G download speeds and the iPhone 12 will automatically switch down to 4G networks if you don’t need the higher download capacity.

Improved cameras

All of the new iPhones come with improved cameras but Apple has kept the biggest improvements for its most expensive iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max models.

The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Mini both come with dual cameras on the back of the smartphone including an ultrawide camera. Apple says the main camera is the fastest ever released on an iPhone.

The top-of-the-line iPhone 12 Pro Max has a 47pc larger camera sensor, Apple says, which will make it much more effective at nighttime photography.

And both of the iPhone 12 Pro models come with a new telephoto lens that results in a 4x optical zoom range (for the iPhone 12 Pro) and 5x (for the iPhone 12 Pro Max).

MagSafe wireless charging

Another new feature in the new iPhones is magnets on the back of the smartphone so that wireless charging accessories and other items can magnetically "snap" on to your phone. Apple introduced this as a way to make sure that the iPhone 12 lines up perfectly with wireless charging sensors.

New LiDAR sensor

The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max will both come with a LiDAR sensor on the back next to the cameras which will be able to study the world around the smartphone to build up a detailed understanding of the phone’s surroundings.

This will be useful for taking photographs as the iPhone can sense how far away a subject is, even in the dark. And it’s also going to be useful for advanced augmented reality apps, giving the iPhone a much more precise understanding of where nearby objects are.

How much does the iPhone 12 cost?

The cheapest iPhone 12, the iPhone 12 Mini which comes with a 5.4-inch screen, will go on sale for a starting price of £699.

The standard iPhone 12 is priced at £799 but comes with a larger 6.1-inch screen.

The iPhone 12 Pro is now available for £999 and also has a 6.1-inch screen.

The top-of-the-line iPhone 12 Pro Max will sell from £1,099 and has a 6.7-inch screen, Apple’s largest ever smartphone screen.

No headphones or charger?

Apple announced during its reveal of the iPhone 12 that the company will stop including a charging adapter and headphones in the box with purchases of any new iPhone.

Apple claims this is because most people already have charging cables and headphones, so they don’t need to purchase new ones.

The iPhone 12 comes with a Lighting to USB-C charging cable in the box, but it won’t include a wall plug adapter for the cable.

Where can I buy the iPhone 12?

Phone networks in the UK are now offering the iPhone 12 on sale on their websites and in stores. Customers can purchase the phone directly from Apple’s website or in Apple Stores, while buyers can also get the device on networks such as EE, O2 and Vodafone or through third parties such as Carphone Warehouse.

What are the best iPhone 12 deals?

Operators are likely to launch various packages and deals for the iPhone 12 in the coming weeks as the new smartphones so on sale. Verizon has announced a trade-in deal in the US, for example. So far, no deals have been announced for the UK.
