This year’s iPhone sees a number of upgrades over previous iPhones. The iPhone 12 lineup is Apple’s first iPhone to support 5G, as well as the first to be powered by the A14 Bionic System-on-Chip — said to be twice as fast as the one that powers the iPhone 11. This generation is also the first to be compatible with Apple’s newly launched MagSafe line of accessories for the iPhone.
The iPhone 12 is available in five colors — white, black, blue, green, and (PRODUCT)RED. It can be configured with three different storage sizes — 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB, at $749, $799, and $899 respectively.
iPhone 12 Pro comes in graphite, silver, gold, and pacific blue. Storage capacities are 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB, for $999, $1,099, and $1,299, respectively.
