After a month-long delay due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Apple announced its latest family of iPhones during a virtual online event earlier this month. The new lineup includes the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, and all feature 5G connectivity, a magnetic backing branded as MagSafe that can attach to a number of accessories and a new ceramic display that promises to be more durable. You can read CNET’s iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro review here.
With so many devices, it can get a little confusing about what makes these handsets different from each other. In general, the iPhone 12 and 12 Mini are the two most affordable phones in the lineup and have dual rear cameras. The two Pro models are the highest-end and priciest iPhones. In addition to a third telephoto camera, they also have a LiDar scanner for modeling and object detection. (Here’s how and when to preorder all four iPhone 12 models at different prices.)
