<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[File:Rear_3_lenses_of_an_iPhone_12.jpg|Rear 3 lenses of an iPhone 12|thumb]] '''iPhone 12''' is a smartphone designed, developed, and marketed by [[Apple Inc.]] It is the fourteenth generation of the [[iPhone]], succeeding the [[iPhone 11]] and preceding the [[iPhone 13]]. The iPhone 12 was officially announced on October 13, 2020, alongside the [[iPhone 12 Mini]], [[iPhone 12 Pro]], and [[iPhone 12 Pro Max]], making it part of a lineup of four models, a first in Apple's history. The iPhone 12 series marked a significant design change, reintroducing a flat-edged frame reminiscent of the [[iPhone 4]] and [[iPhone 5]], which had been replaced by rounded edges in previous models since the [[iPhone 6]].<br />
<br />
==Design and Specifications==<br />
The iPhone 12 features a 6.1-inch [[Super Retina XDR display]], an OLED panel with a resolution of 2532 x 1170 pixels, supporting HDR10 and Dolby Vision. The device is powered by the A14 Bionic chip, the first in the smartphone industry to use a 5-nanometer process technology, enhancing both speed and efficiency. It introduces 5G connectivity, offering significantly faster download and upload speeds compared to 4G LTE models. The iPhone 12's design is characterized by its aerospace-grade aluminum edges and a Ceramic Shield front cover, which Apple claims provides four times better drop performance.<br />
<br />
===Camera===<br />
The device features a dual 12MP camera system on the back, consisting of a wide and ultra-wide lens, both capable of recording HDR video with Dolby Vision. Night mode and Deep Fusion are available on all cameras, including the 12MP front camera, improving low-light performance and detail in medium to low light.<br />
<br />
===Software===<br />
The iPhone 12 ships with [[iOS 14]], introducing new features such as widgets on the Home screen, the App Library, and enhanced privacy features. Subsequent iOS updates have continued to enhance the iPhone 12's capabilities.<br />
<br />
==Models==<br />
The iPhone 12 series includes:<br />
* [[iPhone 12 Mini]] - A smaller version featuring a 5.4-inch display.<br />
* [[iPhone 12 Pro]] - Offers a triple 12MP camera system with LiDAR Scanner for improved augmented reality (AR) experiences.<br />
* [[iPhone 12 Pro Max]] - The largest and most feature-rich model, with a 6.7-inch display and enhanced camera capabilities.<br />
<br />
==Reception==<br />
The iPhone 12 received positive reviews for its robust performance, improved camera systems, and 5G connectivity. However, it also faced criticism for the removal of the power adapter and EarPods from the box, a decision Apple stated was made for environmental reasons. The reintroduction of the flat-edged design was generally well-received, with many praising its aesthetic and ergonomic benefits.<br />
<br />
==Environmental Impact==<br />
Apple emphasized the environmental benefits of the iPhone 12, noting the use of recycled materials in its construction and the decision to remove the power adapter and EarPods from the box to reduce carbon emissions and waste. The company aims to become carbon neutral across its entire business, manufacturing supply chain, and product life cycle by 2030.<br />
