iPhone 12: Meet the first iPhone with 5G

 

The long-awaited iPhone 12 line up has arrived. Say hello to four radical new phones: iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max. And guess what? They’re all 5G-enabled.

When can I buy the new iPhone 12?

The new iPhone 12 range is available to buy from EE now.

iPhone 12 has gone 5G. Now with the power of our 5G network, you can enjoy superfast browsing and downloads, smooth and reliable streaming, great gaming on the go, and exciting new augmented reality experiences. When connected to our 5G network, you really can experience iPhone like never before.

But 5G is just half the story. iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini both pack the unbelievably powerful A14 Bionic chip – the fastest chip in a smartphone. This power pushes what’s possible on your iPhone, so you can breeze through data intensive tasks or shoot cinematic video in 4K HDR Dolby Vision – something even pro movie cameras can’t do.

And it’s not just from behind the camera that things look epic. iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini feature Super Retina XDR displays, with OLED delivering brighter brights, darker blacks and a higher resolution from edge to edge.

Every pixel packs a punch and looks out of this world. It really is a precious display – which is why an innovative new Ceramic Shield is used to protect iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini. Ceramic Shield is a first for smartphones. It’s tougher than any glass used on a phone before and it offers 4x better drop protection. Great news if you occasionally suffer from butter fingers.

Both the Wide and Ultra Wide cameras work wonders with light too. They both support Night Mode, which captures greater levels of light for more detailed and vibrant photos. And Night Mode works on the front-facing TrueDepth camera too, so now you can look your best in your selfies day and night.

As the names suggest, the main difference between iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini is in the size. iPhone 12 has a 6.1-inch display. iPhone 12 mini has a 5.4-inch display. This makes iPhone 12 mini the smallest and lightest 5G phone you can buy. But when it comes to performance, size doesn’t matter, both the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini are phenomenal.

iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone Pro Max

iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max boast the impressive features found on the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini, including 5G, the A14 Bionic chip and Ceramic Shield, plus enhanced camera capabilities that take your photography to new levels.

The Pro 12-megapixel camera system that features on both iPhones comprises three lenses – Wide, Ultra Wide and Telephoto. These Wide lenses with large apertures let light flood in for beautifully detailed photos. What’s more, Night Mode is specifically tailored to take vivid images in dark settings.

And most impressively, the same LiDAR technology which is used by NASA is also utilised on iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max to measure how long it takes light to reflect back from objects. It can then create a depth map of whatever space you’re in.

LiDAR is ultra-fast and accurate, so you can take beautiful, colour-rich portrait photos in low light conditions and use it with augmented reality (AR) apps to transform a room into a realistic rainforest or see how the latest pair of trainers will fit.

If camera smarts are important to you, iPhone 12 Pro Max is the iPhone to go for. It features a 47% larger sensor, and larger pixels, to dramatically increase the amount of light gathered on the Wide lens. It also features a 5x optical zoom range (4x on the iPhone 12 Pro) and a 12x digital zoom (10x on the iPhone 12 Pro). On the video front, you can record HDR 4K video at up to 60 frames-per-second, or slow things right down for epic results in slow motion.  

It all looks incredible on the 6.7-inch (iPhone 12 Pro Max) and 6.1-inch (iPhone 12 Pro) Super Retina XDR displays, with barely any bezels for an immersive viewing experience. And it’s all topped off with surgical-grade stainless steel finishes in four elegant colours – Pacific Blue, Gold, Silver and Graphite.
