What the iPhone 12 adds to its already heavy-duty lineup is the 'Smart HDR 3′ technology that uses machine learning to intelligently adjust the white balance, contrast, texture and saturation of a photo for natural-looking images.
The last time Apple culled the list of supported devices was with its iOS 13 update, which nixed support for the iPhone 6, iPhone 5s, six-generation iPod touch, the first-generation iPad Air, and third-generation iPad mini. But the new timeline did not seem to have an adverse effect on the new smartphones' sales. "For the same period, 27% of the iPhones sold were the 6.1" iPhone 12 model, followed by the two Pro models that each accounted for around 20% of the sales.
Looking at the 3D render, this iPad mini 6 has a higher screen-to-body ratio.
And, to highlight this image capture power, Gigante de Cupertino released some images, obtained through the lenses of the four cell phone models, for the Shot on iPhone program.
In other words, Apple wants to make more Pros and fewer minis, all in an attempt to align the production with the demand. Apple is reported to be testing out in-display fingerprint readers on the iPhone 13. "Lead times decreased from 22 days ~2 weeks ago as Apple ramps iPhone 12 production signaled by our iPhone supply chain team, led by Sharon Shih, recently raising March quarter iPhone 12 Pro builds by 2M units (which offset a 2M build reduction for the iPhone 12 mini)", the analyst said as per a note published by Philip Elmer-DeWitt. "Both devices have 6.1" screens with starting prices of $599 and $499, respectively, while the iPhone 12 mini costs at least $699. He also seconded Kohl about the name iPhone 12S.
