In recent years, we have seen how Apple is trying to lbequeath to a greater number of users, launching economic models, such as the iPhone SE, a terminal that for less than 500 euros offers us the same power that we could find in the iPhone 11, an iPhone 11 that has just been replaced by the iPhone 12.
But it is not only trying to reach a greater number of users by launching cheaper models, but also, is expanding the range of models of each new generation. Traditionally, Apple only released the normal version and the Plus version. With the launch of the iPhone XR, it expanded the range to three models. With the iPhone 12, there are now 4 models.
That if, even if you want to expand the range of models that it launches on the market, the basic model for this year, the iPhone 12 mini starts from 809 euros, the same price as the iPhone 11 (without the Pro). Of course, the differences with respect to the previous generation are notable, especially on the screen, a screen that happens to be OLED instead of LCD.
New iPhone 12 range
The new iPhone 12 range, as I mentioned above, consists of four models:
- 12-inch iPhone 6,7 Pro
- 12-inch iPhone 6,1 Pro
- 12 inch iPhone 6,1
- 12-inch iPhone 5,4 mini
All the new models that are part of the iPhone 12 range offer 5G connection, being one of the last manufacturers to offer it, but they are the first to not include charger, although if lightning charging cable. A few months ago, it was rumored that both Samsung and Apple were considering not including the charger in order to reduce the cost of the device, especially with the arrival of the 5G models. Headphones are also not included.
Not including the charger, not only allows them to reduce the cost of the set, but also allows them reduce the cost of shipping terminals from china, since in the same container you can send twice as many devices. Everyone has mobile chargers at home, so it really is not a problem that it is not included and Samsung will probably follow the same path as the rest of the manufacturers.
iPhone 12 Pro
The iPhone 12 Pro range is intended for most demanding usersThose who have always opted for the most expensive model that offers the best performance. The iPhone Pro range consists of the 12-inch iPhone 6,1 Pro and the 12-inch iPhone 6,7 Pro Max (2 inches more than the previous generation).
The camera module is made up of three lenses: ultra wide angle, wide angle and telephoto all with 12 MP resolution. In addition, it incorporates a LIDAR scanner for portraits in night mode, faster autofocus in low light and augmented reality experiences. The optical zoom offered by the telephoto lens is 4x. The front camera is 12 MP.
The iPhone 12 range as a whole is managed by the A14 Bionic processor. Security is the responsibility of Face ID (despite the fact that the use with the mask is a real torment). The front part has a ceramic protection that offers 4 times more resistance to falls and the stainless steel used is of surgical quality.
One of the novelties, in terms of functionality, that comes from the iPhone 12 range are the MagSafe accessories. These types of connections had traditionally been used in chargers for Mac computers, but disappeared with the launch of models with USB-C charging. MagSafe accessories allow us to use wireless chargers, covers ... that are attached to the device through the use of magnets.
IPhone 12 Pro storage from 128 GB to 512 GB, with an intermediate version of 256 GB. When it comes to recording video, where the iPhone range has always stood out, with the iPhone 12 we can make 4K quality recordings at 60 fps, in addition to HDR recordings with Dolby Vision up to 60 fps.
The iPhone 12 Pro is available in colors graphite, silver, gold and pacific blue.

iPhone 12
Both the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 mini are intended for less affluent pockets and / or for those users who do not need all the benefits that the Pro range can offer you. If we stop to see the differences, the main and practically only one is that the Pro range has one more camera, specifically the telephoto lens in addition to the LIDAR sensor.
The iPhone 12 has a 6,1 inch (the same that we can find in the iPhone 12 Pro) while the iPhone 12 mini has a 5,4-inch screen. Both are OLED type, and not LCD as in the entry models that Apple had launched in the previous two years.
The rear camera module is composed of two lenses on both models: ultra-wide and wide-angle with a resolution of 12 MP. These models do not incorporate the LIDAR sensor to improve the quality of the photographs and focus in the night mode. The front camera is 12 MP.
The iPhone 12 range as a whole is managed by the processor A14 Bionic. Security is the responsibility of Face ID. The front part has a ceramic protection that offers 4 times more resistance to falls and the stainless steel used is of surgical quality. Of course, if it falls to a hard surface, it will continue to break like any other terminal if we do not use a cover.
The MagSafe accessories that I have discussed in the previous section, they are also compatible with the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini. The storage of the iPhone 12 Pro starts from 64 GB to 128 GB, with an intermediate version of 256 GB.
