Apple iPhone 12 event: What was launched?
Apple announced four new iPhones and a HomePod mini smart speaker during its “Hi, Speed” October event, which you can catch up with below.
As expected, the star of the show was the iPhone 12, with four new models: an iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max.
The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 will be available to pre-order from Friday 16 October and on sale from 23 October. the iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 12 mini will start pre-orders on Friday 6 November and ship from 13 November.
All four models will come with 5G.
The new iPhones range in sizes between 5.4 inches to 6.7 inches. The company also confirmed that it will be keeping the iPhone 11 in the line-up but removing the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max.
The new models will not come with a pair of headphones in the box, nor will they come with a charger. But they will come with an Apple Lightning to USB-C cable.
In a separate announcement, Apple’s Beats brand also confirmed the launch of the Beats Flex, an affordable follow up to the Beats X headphones.
The company also unveiled a cheaper HomePod, but didn’t launch the much-rumoured over-ear AirPods, or AirTags.
