A14 Bionic Chip
11 trillion operations per second.
A14 Bionic is the fastest chip in a smartphone. And it pushes what’s possible. Like crunching trillions of operations on the Neural Engine. Or shooting in Dolby Vision — even pro movie cameras can’t do that. It’s amazingly efficient for great battery life. And it’s ahead of its time, prepared to power pretty much anything that comes next.
Super Retina XDR display
Behold OLED.
Vastly more contrast. Incredible colour accuracy. A huge jump in pixel density. Wow. Just wow. OLED delivers brighter brights, darker blacks and higher resolution for everything you look at. This is the best iPhone display we’ve ever made, and it goes all the way to the edge.
Dual‑camera system
Welcome to the dark side.
Both the Wide and Ultra Wide cameras now have Night mode — and it’s better than ever at capturing incredible low‑light shots. The new Wide camera brings in 27 per cent more light. So whether you take photos by the day or by moonlight, you’ll get a level of detail and colour that wasn’t possible before.
Evenings have entered the picture.
Night mode senses when light is low and kicks in automatically, maintaining clarity while capturing beautiful vibrant colour. All you have to do is start snapping.
Photos that were once hard to capture — as a dramatic moonlit scene — now come out sharper than ever.
Deep Fusion, in mid to low light, analyses multiple exposures to maximise detail. Check out the texture in the wood, fabric and crystal. And the Ultra Wide gets you a heroic perspective.
Automatic magic.
Smart HDR 3 balances the elements in a shot, bringing out detail in the subject and trees while retaining the rich colour of the sky — even at high noon.
Beyond faces, Smart HDR 3 uses machine learning to recognise scenes, then adjusts sharpness, colour and white balance where needed.
Even in bright light, Smart HDR 3 is amazing at capturing texture, skin tone, colour saturation and individual details that make photos feel true to life.
Face it. Nothing beats Portrait mode.
Portrait mode is even better at artfully blurring the background to put all the focus on your subject. Lovely, isn’t it?
Take great photos even further by choosing from six creative lighting effects, like High‑Key Light Mono, Natural Light and Studio Light.
Video
Low lights.
Camera.
Action.
How do you improve on the highest-quality video in a smartphone? Make it even better in low light — a full 27 per cent better. That means no hour is off-limits for more beautifully detailed video. Then there’s Night mode Time‑lapse. Just prop up your iPhone and let the light trails begin.
Ta-da!
Now you own a film studio.
Now you can record 4K HDR video with Dolby Vision. Edit in Photos or iMovie. Then zap it to your TV using AirPlay to see all that colour and detail. It’s a start-to-finish cinematic experience — found only on iPhone. Which comes in handy when your kid does something adorable.
First camera ever to record in Dolby Vision
TrueDepth Camera
Night mode selfies
You look amazing in the dark.
Night-time is the right time for a selfie. Because Night mode and a slew of other great features are now on the front camera. Like Deep Fusion, Smart HDR 3, Dolby Vision recording and more. You lucky duck face.
MagSafe accessories
Everything just clicks.
Beautifully
stackable.
Snap-on a new MagSafe case, wallet or both. (Fear not, the wallet is shielded so it’s safe for credit cards.)
Turbo chargeable.
Magnets align themselves perfectly every time for faster wireless charging.
Wireless
Let’s speed things up.
iPhone 12 delivers LTE at up to 2 Gbps. So you can download programmes, upload photos and stream high-quality video even faster. And you can do it in more places because iPhone 12 has up to 32 LTE bands — more than any other smartphone.
iOS 14
Get straight to
the good stuff.
iOS 14 is packed with shortcuts that get you exactly what you want when you want it.
Privacy is built-in.
Privacy is built in.iPhone is designed to protect your information. Face ID data doesn’t leave your iPhone and is never backed up to iCloud or anywhere else. All the iMessages you send are encrypted. iOS shows you an app’s privacy practices before you download it. And the list goes on.
Environment
We reduced our carbon footprint. By thinking inside the box.
Across the iPhone family, we’re removing the power adapter and EarPods that often go unused, but including the fast-charging USB‑C to Lightning cable that most people need. That shrinks packaging, and more boxes per shipment mean fewer shipments overall. We’re also transitioning our manufacturing partners to renewable energy. Altogether, this eliminates over 2 million metric tons of carbon emissions annually.
Carbon savings equal to 450,000 fewer cars on the road per year.
Even the little things are a big deal.
Augmented reality
The power of A14 Bionic brings the latest AR experiences to life. Explore ancient relics, dissect a frog — even try out a new couch with AR Quick Look.
More shots, less lag
Snapping shots quickly? iPhone intelligently adapts, speeding up processing so you can capture all the action.
Have two numbers
Dual SIM with eSIM lets you have both a personal number and a business number on the same iPhone.
Spatial audio with Dolby Atmos
Sound moves around you in 3D space, so you feel like you’re inside the action.
Recycled rare earth in magnets
iPhone 12 uses 100 per cent recycled rare earth elements in all magnets, including those in our MagSafe accessories.
