Pro to the extreme! The iPhone 12 after the facelift is really tough

After

sold for a month, Apple finally squeezed out the iPhone 12 series. Although

has been exposed and there are no bottom pants left, the four models, appearance, color, and configuration can basically match.

But let's keep our minds at ease. After all, it is the new year for the iPhone to change its appearance. Let's see what Apple can do this time.

does not sell off, and directly enters today's four new iPhones. The first one-

iPhone12

As the news broke, Apple cut off the previous rounded bezels and adopted right-angled bezels , dreaming of returning to the iPhone 4 era.

But at this size, whether this right-angled frame will cut hands remains to be further tested.

iPhone 12 has five colors: black, white, red, green and blue, which are young and lively.

may be the sweetness of the iPhone XR and iPhone 11, and Apple has made the iPhone 12 very conscientious this time. You can see

from the screen. The

screen

has a narrow black border with four equal widths, which looks narrower to the naked eye than last year's flagship 11 Pro. The resulting

is a smaller and thinner body. Compared with iPhone 11,

is 11% thinner, 15% smaller and 16% lighter.

Also, it is no longer an LCD, and finally replaced with a better display OLED- super retina XDR display .

is 6.1 inches, with a resolution of 2532x1170 and 460ppi.

And this time, the screen uses the super-ceramic panel , which integrates nano-scale ceramic crystals and glass. Compared with the previous glass panel,

has 4 times the resistance to drop.

As for the front bangs, I have compared it pixel by pixel. It is indeed slightly narrower than the iPhone 11, but there is no difference to the naked eye.

I stacked the isometric renderings of 12 and 11 together,

12 is slightly narrower than 11, and the


bangs are still there, which means that the unlocking method is still Face ID, and it will still be awkward to unlock with a mask. The second important selling point of

iPhone 12 is that-

5G

announced at the press conference that it can use 5G in more places than any smart phone on the market. Let’s listen to self-selling boasting such as

, but I think the bigger highlight of iPhone’s 5G lies in the “intelligent data mode”.

can freely switch between 4G and 5G according to the actual situation, which helps the mobile phone to save power.

camera

Although Apple's hype, but the iPhone 12 camera upgrade, I think it is lackluster.

is still the dual-camera system similar to the iPhone 11: one wide-angle and one ultra-wide-angle. The difference between

is that the main camera has a larger aperture of f/1.6, and the 7P lens (iPhone 11 is f/1.8 and 6P lens) .

brings a 27% increase in light input.

Now, iPhone 12 can use night mode both in wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle.

In addition, the iPhone 12 camera also supports smart HDR 3 photos and Dolby Vision HDR video shooting.

processor For the

processor, the iPhone 12 uses the A14 bionic that was unveiled last month.

has been introduced before, so I won’t expand it here. In short, it is the fastest chip (nonsense) of the iPhone so far. Even if

is put into all mobile phone chips, the probability is the strongest. What's interesting about

is that when showing the performance of the A14, Apple invited the mobile version of "League of Legends" to play LOL with iPhone 12, and there will be special optimizations.

There is another highlight of

I have to mention, that is MagSafe, dreaming back to the MacBook Pro that year. . You can guess

by listening to the name. This is a technology that uses magnetic adsorption to fix wireless charging.

solves the problem that wireless charging may not align the coil and cause charging failure.

In fact, we have seen this technology on the magnetic charging base of Apple Watch.

But even so, Apple still played a trick, these various official accessories are compatible with MagSafe. The

card case can be attached to the back of the iPhone with MagSafe. The charging base

can charge iPhone 12 and Apple Watch at the same time. When

is not in use, it can be folded up and taken away.

... Is this the real reincarnation of AirPower?

If someday, Apple can open this magnetic attraction to third-party accessories... that's promising.

, such as the Osmo Mobile 4 previously released by DJI, uses magnetic attraction to fix the phone, maybe. .

The rest is nothing, the battery life is basically the same as the previous generation, and the water resistance is slightly improved.

and, this time the positioning system finally supports Beidou .

After talking about the iPhone 12, Apple took it out in the same way as a doll-

iPhone12 mini

The machine brother compared the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 mini in detail.

found almost exactly the same, the only difference is:

is smaller in size and lighter, and the mini weighs only 133 grams.

is 12 on the left and 12 on the right. The mini

screen is naturally smaller, 5.4 inches, and the resolution is 2340x1080

. Because the body is small, it cannot hold a large battery, and the battery life is worse.

and only supports single SIM card. If you remember correctly,

should be the smallest and lightest 5G mobile phone so far. I have a hunch that it will become the heart of some small-screen enthusiasts. Not much to say about

. Next, I will invite the heavyweight players tonight-

iPhone 12 Pro Max

Although the iPhone 12 is good enough, the 12 Pro Max still has some upgrade points on this basis. The features of

mentioned above, I won’t repeat them here, but mainly talk about its unique Pro. Although the appearance of

Pro

is also a right-angled frame, it has the blessing of surgical grade stainless steel, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max is more than one level higher.

And based on past experience, this kind of stainless steel frame has a better hand feel than 12 aluminum alloy, and it is more durable and durable.

has four colors: graphite, silver, gold and sea blue.

z0There is nothing to say about black and white basic models like graphite and silver. The newly deployed golden color of

, some people in Brother Ji's office think it is high-end, and some people think that it is a turtle, and different people have different opinions.

But for this year's new main color- sea blue , everyone is unanimous in their appreciation.

can see the machine drooling. The screen of

Pro

The screen of iPhone 12 Pro Max is bigger than 11 Pro Max, reaching 6.7 inches. The

parameter is also the top-level presence in the current mobile phone screen.

Of course, except for resolution. .

But to be honest, since the 12 has already used OLED, the advantages of the 12 Pro Max screen are not so obvious.

Pro's camera

Yuba is still the familiar Yuba, but the inside is quite different. The

wide-angle main camera has a larger sensor area, a larger single pixel size, and a larger aperture, as well as a 7P lens. The

sensor size is 47% larger. The focal length of the telephoto lens

has also been upgraded from 52mm to 65mm, achieving a total of 5x optical zoom (ultra-wide-angle to telephoto) . The core parameters of the

camera module are as follows:

Among them, the most eye-catching is actually the wide-angle main camera "sensor displacement OIS" .

is the Sensor-Shift technology introduced by the machine brother before, which allows the displacement of the sensor to offset the shaking and achieve anti-shake. The

machine brother does not know the final effect, and what is the difference between traditional optical image stabilization, anyway, it sounds very advanced, after all, it comes from the technology of professional SLR cameras. After

, Apple will also launch Apple ProRaw, which will take photos containing standard RAW information and provide more post-production space for professional photographers. With video shooting of

, iPhone 12 Pro Max has taken a step further.

officially claims that this is the iPhone's first camera system that can shoot Dolby Vision video. It has been upgraded from 8-bit to 10-bit HDR video shooting and can capture up to 700 million colors. We don’t have to go into the professional vocabulary of

. The press conference showed some real shots. I just want to say, is it a mobile phone that I’m missing. .

Finally, you must have noticed that there is a strange and familiar thing in the lower right corner of Yuba.

is the same LiDAR (lidar) as on the iPad Pro this year.

LiDAR brings us not to mention those AR applications, mainly this time, it can increase the autofocus speed in low light by up to 6 times. With the help of a neural network engine,

can also help the subject to focus more clearly in portrait shooting, creating a softer blur background. The last new machine of

is-

iPhone 12 Pro


Seeing the machine brother put it at the end, I know how disappointed I am.

Last year, 11 Pro and Pro Max were only different in size, and other parameters were basically the same, but this year's 12 Pro is shrinking compared to 12 Pro Max. . The

camera shrinks. The

main camera has no sensor displacement OIS, and the bottom is smaller.

and even the telephoto lens failed to upgrade to 65m like the big brother.m, still the 52mm lens.

battery life has also shrunk.

You can't compare to 12 Pro Max, we still understand, but you can't even compare to 11 Pro. The only good thing about

is that the 12 Pro screen has been upgraded from 5.8 inches to 6.1 inches in the 11 Pro. The remaining parameters of

, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max are basically the same.

Finally, I finally want to talk about the price of and . Brother

made a table summary.


as a reference, Brother Ji also listed the initial price of the iPhone 11 series that year.

iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro will be pre-ordered on October 16th;

iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 12 mini will be available on November 6th.

It is worth mentioning that this time Apple has indeed cancelled the full range of chargers, which is also called environmental protection.

Apple, you deserve it. . The

machine brother knows that you may be entangled in how to choose among the four models. I will talk about my feelings for your reference:

iPhone 12, undoubtedly the most fragrant choice. It has reached an excellent balance between configuration and price. If you don’t know which one to buy, choose iPhone 12 without thinking.

iPhone 12 mini, it's really too light and compact, it's most suitable for small screen lovers.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, for ordinary users, it is slightly unnecessary. Brother Ji only recommends three types of candidates: photo enthusiasts, party with extreme looks, and local tyrants who don't need money.

As for the iPhone 12 Pro, at present, the high is not the low, it does not dominate, probably only the small group of people who think that the Pro Max is too big and dislike the 12 aluminum alloy frame will buy it.

All in all, because of the new appearance, this year is the new year of iPhone iteration.

plus the blessing of 5G, I think the 12 series is a generation worth starting with.

Of course, you can wait to see Huawei Mate 40 next week, or you can wait for Double 11 next month to see how to play on those e-commerce platforms.
