Apple has introduced its iPhone 12 smartphone range this week, offering 5G connectivity, IP68 protection, tougher 'Ceramic Shield' displays and the company's A14 Bionic processor on all the new devices.

There are four models available in a variety of colours: the iPhone 12, the iPhone 12 Mini, the iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro Max. All will be supplied with a 'USB C to Lightning' cable and will support wireless charging but will not be supplied with a separate charger. The phones feature Apple's 'MagSafe' magnetic back, which is designed to provide optimum positioning for wireless charging and to hold other accessories in place.

The standard Apple iPhone 12 moves away from standard LED display technology with a 6.1-inch OLED screen encased in an aluminium body with glass back. It's equipped with a 12-megapixel dual camera and is expected to cost from £799 SIM-free in the UK for the 64GB model, going on sale on 23rd October. The iPhone 12 Mini has a similar camera but a 5.4-inch screen and a UK pricetag from £699 when it launches next month. The 'Pro' phones have a stainless steel body and a triple camera system, plus a LiDAR distance sensor; the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max has a 6.7in OLED screen and the iPhone 12 Pro has a 6.1-inch screen. Pricing for the iPhone 12 Pro is from £999 for the 128GB phone, with the iPhone 12 Pro Max costing from £1,099 SIM-free when it hits the shops on 13th November.

ExclusiveYou can’t stop the news when it goes mobile

Mark Bridge writes:

A couple of weeks ago I was wandering through London, wondering whether mobile streaming could erode personal privacy… and whether anyone cared.

But there’s a positive site to the immediacy of streaming, as Bambuser reminded me today.

ExclusiveMobile phones give you wings

Mark Bridge writes:

James's recent trip down memory lane reminded me of a moment in 1998 when a major mobile phone manufacturer promised phones that 'gave you wings'. No, not Red Bull. No, not Red Bull Racing partner LG. It was Motorola.

ExclusiveA time before Android

James Rosewell writes:

Whilst flicking through my drawer full of old handsets I thought back to a time when Apple produced a new MP3 player, newspaper editors didn't know what a smart phone was, and Android was only a press release. A quick flick through YouTube threw up the following interview with Microsoft's Steve Balmer offering his thoughts.

ExclusiveWhy I don't care about the Google Nexus S

Mark Bridge writes:

The Google Nexus S. Search for it online and you’ll find over a million web pages talking about it.

But I don’t care about the Google Nexus S. Or the Nexus Two or the Samsung i9020 or whatever else you call it. Quite frankly, it’s not any use to me. My current rapidly-aging HTC TyTn II has more features than the Nexus S.
