Apple hosted its virtual launch event tonight, from the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park. As was promised, Apple released its 4 new models iPhone 12 mini (, iPhone 12 (6.1 inches), iPhone 12 Pro (6.1 inches) and iPhone 12 Pro Max (6.7 inches). iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini will be available in 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB models in blue, green, black, white, and PRODUCT(RED), starting at Rs 79,900 and Rs 69,900, respectively.

iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 pro will be made available in India 30th October onwards. The other models will follow later. The Pro models come with LiDar scanner that will offer ‘an instant AR experience’. It’s also used to focus on objects for photography in low-light conditions. The iPhone 12 Mini offers everything iPhone 12 promises with just a smaller 5.7inches Super Retina XDR Display. It will be available in five colours and packs the latest Bionic A15, iOS 14 and more. Apple’s new iPhones won’t include earbuds or chargers.
iPhone 12 comes with 12MP ultra-wide camera + 12MP wide-angle lens. The camera of the iPhone 12 will be able to click amazing pictures in low light as well. The company has improved the Night mode too. Night mode now comes in both front and rear cameras across all iPhone 12 models.
The Apple Event also brought to us in the iPhone 12 series, Cupertino’s first 5G phones, coming at least a couple of years after Samsung launched its first device running on the next generation telecom technology. Apple might be a little behind with Motorola, Google, Samsung and others to have already rolled out their models that support 5G. However, considering only about 6% of the consumers would look for 5G as a prime criterion when buying a new phone. But then Apple is going the whole hog with 5G, with all the four phones featuring the new technology that will run on over 100 networks across the world, India not included.
