Apple last week announced its new iPhones 12 lineup during a virtual online event. The new iPhones include the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max- all new iPhones feature 5G connectivity, a magnetic ring branded as MagSafe that can attach to a number of accessories, and a new ceramic shield display that promises to be 4 times more durable, all OLED displays and more!
With so many devices, it can get very confusing about what makes these iPhones different from each other. In a nutshell, the new iPhone 12 and 12 Mini are the two most “affordable” phones in the lineup and have dual rear cameras. The two Pro models are the highest-end and priciest iPhones. In addition to a third telephoto camera, they also have a LiDar scanner for modeling and object detection.
