An earlier line of iPhones introduced in 2020. All models have 5G support and feature an OLED display. Using Apple's latest A14 chip, the iPhone 12 uses a new metal frame that makes models thinner and lighter than the iPhone 11 without a change in screen size. In conjunction with Corning and branded as "Ceramic Shield," ceramic crystals embedded in the glass make the screens more durable.
For the first time, earbuds and charger are no longer included and must be purchased separately. The reasoning is that most people already have these accessories from previous phones. All models support Apple's MagSafe wireless charging system as well as Qi. See
