In my previous blog, I had mentioned some of the expected specs of the iPhone 12 lineup. While some leaks were confirmed, few were new ones that no leaks told about. And guess what, the first thing that was announced about the iPhone was that it has 5G. Let\’s find out what all the iPhone 12 lineup is packed with?

Firstly, let\’s know about how many iPhones exist in the iPhone 12 lineup?

iPhone 12
iPhone 12 mini
iPhone 12 Pro
iPhone 12 Pro Max

What\’s the difference? Here it is:

The iPhone 12 and the 12 mini have the exact same specifications except for the display size. It is 6.1 inch on the iPhone 12 and a 5.4 inch one on the mini, both of them being a Super Retina XDR display. That\’s compact! Here are the specs of the iPhone 12 and the 12 mini:

They\’re powered by the A14 Bionic chipset, which is the fastest chipset in the world with a 6 Core CPU and a 4 Core GPU with a massive 50% increase in CPU and GPU performances (Compared to the A13 Bionic). And 5G of course. And also, the A14 is built on a 5nm fabrication process (First in the world)

The Cameras: Both of them have a dual-camera setup (No Macro Cameras xD): A 12 Megapixel Primary and a 12 Megapixel Ultrawide, both of which take amazing shots both during day and night. Speaking of which, all the iPhone 12s come with night mode that lets you capture as much detail as you do in daylight.
Ceramic Shield: This time, according to Apple, the protection is 4 times the previous iPhones.
Charging: There\’s not going to be a charger included in the box. Just the USB-C to Lightning Cable. You will be able to charge your iPhone using any Certified Adapter with a Type-C output. The wireless charging on the new lineup of iPhones has improved: MagSafe is new, improved charging technology that can make wireless charging more convenient than ever.
And as always, beautiful Apple Software, iOS.
Colours: Black, White, (PRODUCT)Red, Green and Blue.

Now, let\’s know more about the \’Pro\’ variants of the iPhone 12 lineup. Again, there are 2 \’Pro\’ variants, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, which have majorly 2 differences: Display size and cameras. The iPhone 12 Pro has a 6.1-inch display while the iPhone 12 Pro Max has a 6.7-inch display, the largest by Apple till date (Super Retina XDR).

Both, the iPhone 12 Pro and the 12 Pro Max have a Triple-camera setup: A 12-Megapixel Primary, a 12-Megapixel Ultrawide and a 12-Megapixel Telephoto lens. The iPhone 12 Pro Max has a higher hand in the telephoto camera, retaining same detail with 2.5x optical zoom, over 2x Optical zoom on the iPhone 12 Pro. Both of them also have a LiDAR sensor, taking the AR experience on the new iPhones to the Next-level. Some other common specs of the iPhone 12 Pro and the 12 Pro Max:

The A14 Bionic processor, which can handle any task thrown at it with ease. And also amazing camera capabilities: 4K 60FPS. 5G too of course.
Apple ProRAW: This is something that makes your images shot not just using the iPhone, but also other cameras as well, totally customizable. All thanks to the software and LiDAR.
They have the same protection tech as on the iPhone 12 and the mini.
The only other difference in the Price, which we\’ll know about in a bit.
