Everything you need to know about iPhone 12 and where to buy one

The wait is finally over as Apple has unveiled its all-new iPhone 12 range that includes the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max with 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch displays respectively. The range also welcomes the new super-fast A14 Bionic chipset and support for 5G mobile downloads.

When will the iPhone 12 be released?

The first question on everyone’s lips is ‘when can I get my iPhone 12?’. Being Apple, you have two different release dates to pay attention to. The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro will be available to pre-order from October 16 and will be released on October 23.

The iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max will be available to pre-order from November 6 and will be released on November 13.

How much does the iPhone 12 cost?

Now you know when you can get your iPhone 12, it only makes sense to ask ‘how much will my iPhone 12 cost?’ The cheapest iPhone 12, the iPhone 12 Mini which comes with a 5.4-inch screen has a starting price of £699. This will be for the most basic model.

The standard iPhone 12 will sell for £799 but comes with a larger 6.1-inch screen. The more powerful iPhone 12 Pro will sell for £999 and comes with a larger 6.1-inch screen. If you really want to go all-out, you can get your hands on Apple’s largest-ever smartphone screen, the top-of-the-line iPhone 12 Pro Max from £1,099.

The top-of-the-line iPhone 12 Pro Max will sell from £1,099 and has a 6.7-inch screen, Apple’s largest-ever smartphone screen.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

The Good: Pricing

Apple understands the world is facing a challenging time. They have clearly priced the iPhone 12 to reflect this and the introduction of the iPhone 12 Mini will be welcomed by those on tight budgets but want a new iPhone. What they have also done is lower the price of the iPhone 11. The iPhone 11 is now available from £599 brand new from Apple and other retailers such as Carphone Warehouse.

The not so bad: No headphones or charger?

Apple announced during its reveal of the iPhone 12 that the charging adapter and headphones will be removed from the box of all new iPhones. Because the saving has been passed on to the consumer, this is a win-win for Apple, the consumer, and the environment. The iPhone 12 will still come with a Lighting to USB-C charging cable in the box.

The ugly: Top Notch

Apple has done nothing to get rid of or reduce the size of the top notch. As beautiful as the new iPhone 12 range is, the top notch is ugly and users would prefer to have lost the notch instead of the charger and headphones.
