Apple iPhone 12 lineup comparison By Engadget

This week apple announced four new iPhones more than the companies ever released, all in one shot. Naturally, there's the iPhone 12, a big upgrade over last year's iPhone 11 with an all new body, design, OLED, screen, upgraded camera and support for apple's new MagSafe charging and accessories like last year. There's also an iPhone 12 Pro and pro max phones with more cameras, LIDAR sensor, stainless steel, construction and not a lot else. To be honest, the screens are bigger than last year's models, though 6.1 and 6.7 inches, respectively and finally, a fourth iPhone. The 12 mini, takes everything in the standard 12 and puts it into a relatively tiny body, with a 5.4-inch screen. If all this gives you a little anxiety over which model to buy we're here to break it down for you, the good news is that all the new iPhones come with the same processor, apple's, new a14, bionic and all have 5g connectivity in high resolution OLED screens.

They also have similar wide and ultra-wide cameras in a lot of ways. Your decision mostly comes down to screen size and how much you're willing to spend if you're a fan of small phones, or you want the least expensive new iPhone. The iPhone 12 mini is the clear choice. It's 5.4-inch screen isn't exactly small, but it's becoming increasingly rare to find phones with displays under 6 inches. What's most intriguing here is that the phone is significantly smaller than the iPhone SE, which has a 4.7-inch screen, but large top and bottom bezels. The most crucial thing about the iPhone 12 mini is that you're not giving up any features or performance for its smaller size? The only caveat is that its battery life won't be as good as its larger siblings.

The iPhone 12 mini starts at 699 from 18t and Verizon or 729 unlocked in on other carriers. For most people, the standard iPhone 12 will provide the best bang for the buck. It has a large 6.1-inch screen, but Apple has reduced the overall size of the device compared to last year's iPhone 11. So you get that big screen in a smaller package. The iPhone 12 is more expensive than the iPhone 11, starting at 7.99 on Verizon and 18t or 829 elsewhere, but it's a pretty big upgrade over the iPhone 11. Between 5g, the OLED screen, a faster processor, a better camera and a redesigned smaller body you're.

Getting a lot of upgrades for your money this year. All of those improvements to the iPhone 12 means the gap between the 12 and the 12. Pro is relatively small. As far as we can tell so far. The most meaningful difference is the 12 pro has three back cameras instead of two.

If you want a telephoto lens, you'll have to get the pro and the more expensive phone also includes the new pro HDR photo shooting mode as well. The 12 pro also adds a LIDAR scanner which lets you take portraits with the phone's night mode. Enabled the screen on the 12 pro is almost identical to the one of the 12, except it's slightly brighter. The 12 pro also uses a stainless steel enclosure instead of the aluminum found on the regular 12 and comes with double the internal storage. It's not a bad set of upgrades.

Considering iPhone 12 with gigabytes of storage costs, 8.79 and the 12 pro cost 9.99, but most people will likely be just as happy saving a little cash with the 12. Finally, there's the iPhone 12 Pro max. This awkwardly named phone is large with a 6.7-inch screen. It's also quite expensive, starting at 1099, but if you want the best battery life and camera in an iPhone, this is the phone for you. The 12 pro max has a telephoto camera like the 12 pro, but it features a longer 65 millimeter focal length, rather than the 52 millimeter one found on the smaller phone that works at the 2.5 x, zoom on the 12 pro max compared to the standard lens, while the 12 pro only gets 2x zoom the standard wide camera on the 12 pro max also has a larger sensor with larger pixels and improved optical image. Stabilization apple says this will lead to an 87 improvement in low light performance.

The bottom line is, if you want the best camera on an iPhone spending, an extra hundred dollars for the 12 pro max might be worth it. Of course, we need to put all four of these phones through full reviews before we can say for sure, if Apple is delivering on its promises this year.
