This time Apple has launched four iPhones. These are the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, the iPhone 12 Pro, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Which is the best iPhone 12 for you? We explain in this buying guide.
Long ago choosing which iPhone to buy used to be easier. There was only one iPhone in the year. Then, the two iPhones became the norm as Apple launched an iPhone with a regular screen and one with a bigger screen. Then more iPhones were added in the mix. This time, and for the first time, Apple has launched four iPhones that are part of the same series. These are the iPhone 12, the iPhone 12 mini, the iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro Max. So, in case you are a little confused about which iPhone to buy this year, here is your handy iPhone 12 series buying guide. All right, before we move to the iPhones and highlight each one, with its strong points and weaknesses, a quick summary of the prices of the iPhone 12. And the dates when they are going on sale. — iPhone 12 mini is the most affordable of the lot. The price of the iPhone 12 mini in India starts from Rs 69,900. — The iPhone 12 price in India starts from Rs 79,900. — The iPhone 12 Pro price in India starts from Rs 1,19,900. Yes, it is expensive. — The iPhone 12 Pro Max price in India starts from Rs 1,29,900. — The iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Pro go on pre-order in India from October 23. They will be on sale from October 30. — The iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 12 Pro Max go on pre-order in India from November 6, and they will be on sale from November 13. One more point here. From pricing, it seems that Apple expects most people to choose either the iPhone 12 or the iPhone 12 Pro Max. The iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 12 Pro are there to meet some very specific needs of consumers. Let’s keep it breezy and start with what is common to all phones. All 12 series phones come with the same A14 Bionic processor, although it is entirely possible that the iPhone 12 Pro Max may end up being fastest in benchmarks because its bigger size gives it more thermal headroom to run the chip at full throttle. And for the same reasons, which are thermal constraints due to smaller body, the iPhone 12 mini may score a few points lower in benchmarks.
