iPhone 12

Apple surprisingly announced a new iPhone model today — which is not exactly new. The iPhone 12 mini and regular iPhone 12 will now be available in a new purple color, and they come with a new wallpaper that matches the color.

Following today’s Apple event, all-new MagSafe iPhone cases have been made available to order on the Apple Store. This new Spring collection includes a wide variety of tones for Apple’s silicone and leather case. The company also debuted new colors for the iPhone 12 leather wallet and leather sleeves.

A few days ago, a Twitter user who goes by the name of “Tommy Boi” shared images of four new iPhone 12 MagSafe case colors. This morning, Twitter user Majin Bu has shared new images that depict even more colors for the spring collection of MagSafe cases and Apple accessories.

iPhone models made up 6 of the 10 best-selling smartphones globally in January, according to a new market intelligence report today.

The iPhone 12 mini does, however, find itself farther down the rankings than the iPhone 11 …

This year I’ve had the opportunity to handle all four models in the flagship iPhone lineup: 12 mini, 12, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max. Each iPhone is best at something that makes the variety in the lineup logical, but four phones also makes the buying decision trickier than ever.

I usually favor the most iPhone that Apple has to offer, so I really appreciate the iPhone 12 Pro Max. This is the first year Apple has brought the iPhone X design to a smaller screen, however, and how cool I find the iPhone 12 mini has been a huge surprise for me.

Belkin has added a variety of new MagSafe compatible accessories to its website today. The new offerings, which are all listed as “coming soon,” include a magnetic fitness phone mount, a pair of magnetic wireless chargers, a face tracking magnetic mount, and more.

Foxconn earnings and expectations for the rest of the year suggest that iPhone 12 demand is set to remain high through the first half of the year.

Chairman Young Liu said that sales of “all product lines” likely grew in the first quarter of the year, and that Foxconn is “cautiously optimistic” on the outlook for the rest of the year …

The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max are similar phones, but with several key differences other than screen size. Read on as we walk through all the differences between iPhone 12 Pro vs. iPhone 12 Pro Max and which you should buy right now.

Consumer Reports has published its breakdown of what it calls the “best smartphones of 2021.” This list breaks down the best smartphones of the year, and somewhat surprisingly, the publication ranks the iPhone 12 Pro Max as the “best iPhone” to buy.

Last week, Apple shared an ad promoting the durability of the iPhone 12 showing someone cooking at home while filling the smartphone with flour and dropping it several times. Today the company posted a new ad on its YouTube channel reinforcing the benefits of the Ceramic Shield glass used in the iPhone 12.

It’s likely that Apple will compensate Samsung for lower-than-contracted orders for iPhone 12 mini screens, say supply-chain sources, after demand for the smallest model in the lineup was significantly lower than estimated.

That wouldn’t be an unprecedented step: It has happened twice before …

Procon-SP, the Brazilian consumer protection regulator based in São Paulo state, fined Apple on Friday for not including a charger in the iPhone 12 box.

The fine is around $2 million (R$ 10,5 million) “for misleading advertising, selling a device without the charger and unfair terms.” This is not the first time Procon-SP questioned Apple about its new policy.

While the iPhone 12 is the latest and greatest, Apple is still selling the iPhone 11 as part of its lineup of new iPhones. Furthermore, many existing iPhone 11 users are likely wondering whether the iPhone 12 justifies an upgrade. Read on as we round up all of the details on the iPhone 11 vs. iPhone 12, and which you should buy in 2021.

It was reported yesterday that the global chip shortage was “affecting everyone except Apple,” with two factors insulating the iPhone maker. That isn’t quite accurate, as iPhone 12 production has been constrained by shortages of both power management chips and LiDAR components, but it’s certainly true that the Cupertino company is in a much better position than most.

However, it seems Apple may have another worry, as a Samsung plant responsible for 5% of global chip supply has been out of action for over a month …

Apple brand loyalty among smartphone owners has hit an all-time high, according to a survey by SellCell. It shows that 91.9% of iPhone owners plan to buy another iPhone when they next upgrade, up 1.4% from 2019.

Samsung, in contrast, has seen its own brand loyalty plunge …

A new report from Opensignal paints a rough picture for how 5G performance on the iPhone 12 lineup stacks up against Android smartphones in the US. The majority of the top 25 fastest 5G smartphones ended up being made by Samsung and while iPhone 12 saw a 2.3x jump in 5G speeds compared to its 4G iPhone speeds, Apple’s first 5G iPhones placed at the bottom of the pack and behind at least 25 Android smartphones for overall download speed.

The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini feature a new design with aluminum edges, as opposed to the stainless steel edges found on the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max. A new report today suggests that some iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini devices are suffering from discoloration on the aluminum chassis…

Apple has launched a new ad promoting the iPhone 12 durability. It’s not the first time the company has emphasized this, as in its iPhone keynote last year, it said that this model has four times better drop performance.
