early this morning, four new models of iPhone and HomePod mini were released.
headphones, put the pigeons.
Not much to say, let's look at the phone first.
iPhone 12 series
four new machines, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max. I have sorted out the core upgrade points of
this time:
- appearance
The entire iPhone 12 series have used the vertical frame design similar to the iPhone 4.
iPhone 12 Pro Max
iPhone and iPad have returned to the same design language, and they look really comfortable. Although
is a vertical middle frame, the materials of the four phones are different.
The middle frame of iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini is made of aviation aluminum metal, which is low in hardness and easy to wear and paint, but it is lighter.
iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max use surgical grade stainless steel middle frame, which is high in strength and heavier.
iPhone 12
screen, all iPhone 12 series have been upgraded to OLED screen. The resolution of
has been further improved with the use of OLED screens.
- iPhone 12 mini: 2340×1080 resolution, 476ppi
- iPhone 12: 2532×1170 resolution, 460ppi
- iPhone 12 Pro: 2532×1170 resolution, 460ppi
- camera
- A14 processor
458 x 1ppizz4 A new set of protective covers has been customized for the entire iPhone 12 series.
This is a gadget called "Super Porcelain Panel" made by Apple and Corning.
Because nano-level ceramic crystals are added to the glass, the super-ceramic panel keeps the ultra-high hardness of the ceramic crystal as much as possible while still maintaining the high light transmission of the glass.
In addition, there are some complicated processes we won't talk about.
This set of "super-ceramic panels" is the hardest panel currently used on mobile phones, which brings 4 times the drop resistance to iPhone.
Of course, I still don’t recommend everyone to try a throw. People have only two kidneys, and one falls one less.
Back to the mobile phone, the screen sizes of the four iPhone 12 products are as follows:
iPhone 12 mini: 5.4 inches
iPhone 12: 6.1 inches
iPhone 12 Pro: 6.1 inches
zz iPhone 12 Pro Max: 6.7 inches z1 don’t be busy 610zzzzz iPhone 12 Pro8.
Because the entire series has replaced the OLED screen, narrowed the black border, plus some internal changes, iPhone 12 PThe ro series has not become much larger. Since
changed from LCD to OLED for the first time, the volume of iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini was controlled to be very small.
is really very small.
iPhone 12 is 11% thinner, 15% smaller and 16% lighter.
iPhone 12 mini is even tougher, it has become Apple's smallest, lightest and thinnest 5G mobile phone.
The 5.4-inch iPhone 12 mini is a full circle smaller than the old iPhone with a 16:9 4.7-inch screen.
Recall how the iPhone 8 feels, and then think about it a bit smaller than it. Is
moving?
turn it over. On the back of
, this year’s iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro series are different.
iPhone 12, rear dual camera, the back is shiny glass, easy to scratch.
five colors, black, white, red, green and blue.
iPhone 12 Pro Max, rear three cameras + LiDAR, the same frosted glass as last year.
has four colors, silver, graphite, gold and sea blue.
This new blue is really nice.
Now that we looked at the back, let’s talk about the camera. The
front camera has no changes, the full range of 12 million pixel original deep-sensing camera, the only upgrade is that the front camera uses night scene mode. The
rear camera is something. The camera of
iPhone 12 is mainly a lens upgrade. The 12-megapixel wide-angle lens becomes F/1.6 aperture and 7P lens.
The 12-megapixel ultra-wide angle is F/2.4 aperture and 5P lens.
is an appetizer, just get a rough idea.
Here, we mainly talk about the iPhone 12 Pro series.
The 12-megapixel triple camera used in both iPhone 12 Pro series phones has no difference in ultra-wide angle. The main difference between
is the main camera and the telephoto lens, which will be discussed later.
Everyone first feel the style of night scene photos:
this color, this detail, something.
From the hardware point of view, there are several upgrades related to night scenes. The LiDAR scanner that
previously unveiled on the iPad is equipped with both iPhone 12 Pro products.
In addition to the AR functions previously brought to the iPad, LiDAR also provides a powerful focus assist for night photography.
In low-light scenes, the focus speed of the new iPhone can be increased up to 6 times. Since
has joined LiDAR, the portrait photography of iPhone 12 Pro series products now also supports night mode.
The main camera of the iPhone 12 Pro Max uses a new outsole component, the area is increased by 47%, and the single pixel area is increased to 1.7μm (iPhone 12 Pro is 1.4μm) . Compared with the previous generation, this camera can receive more light when shooting
.
Apple also specially designed a set of sensor displacement for this enlarged main camera.Anti-shake program. The
sensor displacement stabilization is a solution that only moves the photosensitive element without moving the lens when shooting, and compensates for the shake through the movement of the sensor.
But, I said but. In theory, none of the above three schemes will have an immediate effect.
has similar solutions for Android phones, whether it is an outsole camera or a LiDAR sensor, but there is no such change;
and the sensor displacement anti-shake solution is not much different from OIS in the core function. Why did
have such a big change as mentioned in the press conference? All the upgrades of
are hidden by Apple in A14.
Before the iPad conference, Apple A14 was unveiled.
However, at that time only the performance improvement of CPU and GPU was mentioned.
also talked about it today, saying that it is 50% higher than A13.
At the same time, Apple also added the other two pieces. The first is a large-area 16-core neural network engine. You should be familiar with the
Neural Engine, but this stuff used to be a dual-core quad-core...
Apple has set up a 16-core neural network engine this time, which directly increases the processing speed of by 80%. A large part of the improvement in photography of
comes from this group of neural network engines.
This is the computational photography that Apple mentioned many times tonight.
Take the iPhone 12 Pro Max as an example. Both the front camera and the rear three cameras support Apple's deep fusion technology.
In a low-light scene, the mobile phone will expose the surrounding environment multiple times at different levels to obtain different photos for the ISP to perform preliminary fusion processing.
Subsequently, the neural network engine intervened, and analyzed and processed each pixel with different exposure values. selected suitable pixels for synthesis.
just said the amount of calculations and I feel that the phone is hot... The super computing power brought by
A14 also brings more new functions to the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
iPhone 12 Pro Max has become the first mobile phone product that can shoot 10bit Dolby Vision HDR 4K 60fps video.
At the same time, it can also edit Dolby Vision video, and then regenerate a Dolby Vision HDR video.
All in all, the improvement brought by the graphics processor and neural network engine of A14 is not less than the improvement of camera hardware.
After talking about taking pictures, come to the second new feature brought by A14: 5G.
Now, all Apple A12 products support 5G networks.
iPhone 12 In an ideal environment, it can run a download speed of more than 4Gbps, which is 500MB/s.
is followed by the classic operations of optimizing software, optimizing hardware antenna, optimizing power saving, and so on.
These, domestic manufacturers say every time a new machine press conference, I am tired of watching them.
After all the highlights are finished, let's take a look at the price.

iPhone conference Feedback
read the entire release Yes, there is only one sentence in my heart-
Apple, it really pinches Chinese consumers to death.
From configuration to appearance to price, everything reveals Apple's insight into user needs.
First of all, the iPhone’s new color scheme is equivalent to the replacement of the mobile phone, and a new color scheme is required if nothing is changed.
So, the sea blue of the iPhone is here. As soon as
was released, one of my fruit fans said:
was green last year.
Next, 5G.
There are several pain points of 5G at present, one is heavy and the other is battery life.
Is the biggest problem with Android 5G phones?
iPhone 12 mini: 131.5×64.2×7.4mm, 133g
iPhone 12: 146.7×71.5×7.4mm, 162g
Look at this thickness and this weight.
In terms of battery life and signal, Apple has made a series of contents for 5G, including network support, software support, new antenna design and so on.
In terms of battery life, the battery life performance of the full range of iPhone 12 products is not very different from that of iPhone 11.
may have a short video playback time of one or two hours on some models.
5G, the battery becomes smaller, and it does not affect the battery life, can you buy it?
Next is the camera.
iPhone Was the night scene hit before?
Computational photography + outsole crazy pile photography this year.
Moreover, the strongest point in photography is still the most powerful video recording function of the iPhone. Just take pictures and have fun.
Everyone says that 5G is the era of video, and of course Apple has seen this.
As for taking pictures, just scan the code.
In addition to these three points, the following is some routine operations. On the A14 chip tube, the screen is still OLED. After
5G, the appearance upgrade, and the camera are all set up for you, many people estimate that they already have an idea about the iPhone.
At this time, Apple began to make small moves in price.
iPhone 12 mini, the price is very reasonable, starting at 5499 yuan, A14 processor, 5G, thin and compact.
, right?
A friend reminds you at this time-
iPhone 12 mini is a single card.
In 2020, how can you buy a single-card mobile phone, do you have to return to the era of a main machine and a backup machine?
But buying a spare machine for 5499 is too expensive, right?
You decide to add money and look at the iPhone 12. After all, this is a mobile phone recommended by Cook.
But with the price comparison, you find something is wrong. Although
is good everywhere, it is really much more expensive than the previous generation. Since
is expensive...
you can't help but compare iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Your budget has been unknowingly increased from 5499 to 8000 yuan.
After some comparison, you have discovered a secret.
rose from the budget of 5499 to 9299 yuan, and I felt that I made 700.
Faced with this 700 yuan, you think the aforementioned thinness, computing photography, night scene, Dolby Vision HDR, etc. are not important.
Compared to the iPhone 12 Pro Max, the camera of the 12 Pro is even different... but this time you don't pay attention to this.
does not even matter if the iPhone has a high refresh rate screen.
You just want to buy.
That's it, you bought an iPhone 12 Pro step by step.
So, the core upgrade points of the new iPhone don’t need much.
changing colors and adding 5G has already given many people the idea of changing phones. The price of
will not increase, and if there is a lower-priced version, it is not a problem not to send the charging head or earphones.
Apple, it still pinches Chinese consumers.
