The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Mini (stylized as iPhone 12 mini) are smartphones designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. They are the fourteenth-generation, lower-priced iPhones, succeeding the iPhone 11. They were unveiled at an Apple Special Event on October 13, 2020 alongside the higher-end iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max flagships at Apple Park in Cupertino, California. Pre-orders for the iPhone 12 started on October 16, 2020, and the phone began shipping on October 23, 2020. Preorders for the iPhone 12 Mini will begin on November 6, 2020, and the phone will start shipping on Friday, November 13, 2020.
The iPhone 12 Mini starts at US$699 and the iPhone 12 starts at US$799. These prices only apply to phones sold for use on AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile (including legacy Sprint) networks; prices for SIM-free models are $30 higher.

The iPhone 12 and 12 Mini feature a flat chassis, a design seen with the iPhone 4 through the iPhone 5S and the 1st generation iPhone SE. It is the first major redesign since the iPhone X, similar to that of iPad Pros since 2018 and the 4th-generation iPad Air. The notch size is similar to previous iPhone models, despite speculation about a reduction in width. The new design also comes with a ceramic-hardened front glass, marketed as Ceramic Shield, while the back retains the previous generation Dual-Ion Exchange strengthened glass.
The iPhone 12 and 12 Mini are available in 5 colors: Black, White, Product Red, Green, and Blue.

Specifications
Hardware
The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Mini use Apple's six-core A14 Bionic processor, which contains a next-generation neural engine. They both have three internal storage options: 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB. Both also contain an IP68 water and dust-resistant rating along with dirt and grime, and is water-resistant up to six meters for 30 minutes. However, the manufacturer warranty does not cover liquid damage to the phone.
The iPhone 12 series are the first iPhone models to ship without EarPods or a wall adapter, which Apple claims was done to reduce carbon emissions since most users already own them. A USB-C to Lightning cord will still be included. This change also applies retroactively to all other iPhone models still in production. To comply with French law regarding wireless device radiation and health which requires phones to be bundled with and promote use of hands-free accessories by children under 14, iPhone models will still include EarPods in this market.
A magnetic connector known as MagSafe is introduced on the iPhone 12 models, allowing accessories such as cases and charging cords to be attached to the rear of the device. Accessories can also be stacked together.
The devices support 5G cellular communications. This allows upload speeds of up to 200 Mbps and download speeds of up to 4 Gbps. However, only models sold in the U.S. support the fastest mmWave technology; those sold elsewhere in the world, including Canada, support only sub-6GHz frequency bands. A new feature called Smart Data Mode enables 5G only when necessary to preserve battery life.
Displays
Tent to the iPhone 12 Pro. Both phones also use an improved glass covering called Ceramic Shield which is co-developed with Corning Inc. Apple describes it as having "4 times better drop performance" and being "tougher than any smartphone glass".
The iPhone 12 and 12 Mini include mostly the same sensors found on prior iPhone models going back to the iPhone X. These include an accelerometer, gyroscope, barometer, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, and a digital compass. The devices also include the Face ID facial recognition system, which is made up of several sensors: mainly a dot projector, flood illuminator, and an infrared camera, allowing a user's face to be scanned and stored by the Secure Enclave.
Reception
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Apple was criticized for the continued reliance on Face ID as the sole biometric option to unlock the device, which is incompatible with face masks and it led to people using earlier models, such as the iPhone SE (2nd) which supported Touch ID.
