Talk about shooting in Dolby vision or performing trillion tasks in the neural engine, you are assured that the chipset got you!

The MagSafe magnet has interestingly included a number of third party accessories such as wall mounts and car dash mounts to work with it

CAMERA

Some memories are unplanned for and that’s exactly how we would like to capture them, just on the instant. Why would you need to go to the photo studio to remake memories when your iPhone 12 will just do that for you. The device has a camera set up that matches that of the iPhone 12 mini while both come with dual cameras with the single main camera having been changed from that of the iPhone 11. Despite still offering 12MP like its predecessor, the lens features 7 new elements and comes with an f/1.6 aperture that allows more light to hit the sensor. Generally, this means that you get to enjoy less noisy, less blurry, and more brighter images.

We are not yet halfway done as you also get to enjoy a second 12MP ultrawide camera that comes with a 120-degree field of view, 13 mm focal length, and 5 element lens which are familiar to the ultrawide camera of iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro. You further enjoy the Deep fusion Computational Photography system that is able to be used on both cameras.

Taking photos at night will not be a strain as the night mode feature which is missing on iPhone SE can be found on this device and further used on both the front TrueDepth and ultrawide camera. There is also a new night mode time-lapse feature while the Smart HDR 3 system automatically adjusts settings like white balance and contrast in photos so as to make them appear more natural. In daylight, wide camera photos have rich details, impressively low noise, and excellent dynamic range. The colors are accurate and vibrant. The contrast is great and the images are sharp.

The ultra-wide camera delivers photos with decent colors, contrast, and dynamic range matching the main camera. You can capture more details in a single frame. Portrait mode uses the main camera. Subject separation is great and background separation is excellent. There is an additional feature called capture outside the frame. The camera App shows the area captured outside the frame as slightly faded detail. These additional details are acquired from the next wider camera on the phone and then scaled down to match therefore no detail is lost. Video recording using Dolby Digital is at 4K@30fps, HDR, with stereo sound recording.

Watch out for the attention you will garner with the mind-blowing selfies that will be enabled with the 12MP single selfie camera that is f 23mm (wide), 1/3.6″ with SL 3D, (depth/biometrics sensor). It uses smart HDR and the quality produced is top-notch. The colors are great with a decent dynamic range. You can also take slowfies (slow-mo selfie videos) at 1080 pixels.

5G CONNECTIVITY

The 5G frenzy is quickly kicking it and we have seen it on phones such as  Galaxy S20 Plus. Apple has not been left out as it goes all-in on 5G for the iPhone 12 series not leaving out the iPhone 12. The device prepares you for the future as 5G transforms the device and gives it accelerated speeds and better performance. With it, you will be able to download huge files on the go or stream high-quality HDR movies with sufficient clarity.

MEMOJI

There is a type of way that emojis just express how we feel. Like they are really a lifesaver when it comes to adding that just to a chat. Apple brings about emojis featured on the iPhone 12 and which are the real deal! Messaging will be fun as the updated emojis come to play look so real and can be further customized as per your personality. They just take the whole game to a brand new level.
