 5G on iPhone is superfast. So you can download movies on the fly. Stream higher-quality video. Or FaceTime in HD over cellular. With lots less lag. And you can do it in more places, because iPhone 12 has the broadest 5G coverage worldwide.

iPhone makes the most of 5G

A14 Bionic is the fastest chip in a smartphone.

And it pushes what’s possible. Like crunching trillions of operations on the Neural Engine. Or shooting in Dolby Vision — even pro movie cameras can’t do that. It’s superefficient for great battery life. And it’s ahead of its time, prepared to power pretty much anything that comes next.

Super Retina XDR display

Behold OLED.

Vastly more contrast. Incredible color accuracy. A huge jump in pixel density.⁵
Wow. Just wow. OLED delivers brighter brights, darker blacks, and higher resolution for everything you look at. This is the best iPhone display we’ve ever made, and it goes all the way to the edge.

Dual‑camera system

Welcome to the dark side.

Both the Wide and Ultra Wide cameras now have Night mode — and it’s better than ever at capturing incredible low-light shots. The new Wide camera brings in 27 percent more light. So whether you take photos by day or by moonlight, you’ll get a level of detail and color that wasn’t possible before.

Evenings have entered the picture.

Night mode

senses when light is low and kicks in automatically, maintaining clarity while capturing beautiful vibrant color. All you have to do is start snapping.

 Photos that were once hard to capture — like a dramatic moonlit scene — now come out sharper than ever.

Deep Fusion,

in mid to low light, analyzes multiple exposures to maximize detail. Check out the texture in the wood, fabric, and crystal. And the Ultra Wide gets you a heroic perspective.

Automatic magic.

Smart HDR 3

balances the elements in a shot, bringing out detail in the subject and trees while retaining the rich color of the sky — even at high noon.

Face it. Nothing beats Portrait mode.

Take great photos even further by choosing from six creative lighting effects, like High‑Key Light Mono, Natural Light, and Studio Light.

Portrait mode 

is even better at artfully blurring the background to put all the focus on your subject. Lovely, isn’t it?

Video

Low lights.

Camera.

Action.

How do you improve on the highest-quality video in a smartphone? Make it even better in low light — a full 27 percent better. That means no hour is off limits for more beautifully detailed video. Then there’s Night mode Time-lapse. Just prop up your iPhone and let the light trails begin.

And boom.
You own a film studio.

Now you can record 4K HDR video with Dolby Vision. Edit in Photos or iMovie. Then zap it to your TV using AirPlay to see all that color and detail. It’s a start-to-finish cinematic experience — found only on iPhone. Which comes in handy when your dog does something adorable.
