During Apple’s virtual “Hi, Speed” keynote on Tuesday, the company officially announced its long-awaited next-gen iPhones in the form of the iPhone 12 mini, the iPhone 12, the iPhone 12 Pro, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Each model will feature an OLED Super Retina XDR display as well as a “Ceramic Shield” screen, which uses ceramic particles to resist cracks and drapes. The units will support 5G with a Smart Data mode to switch between 4G and 5G as a means of preserving battery life, and Apple stated it has the most 5G bands of any smartphone.
