Last month, Apple had a mega launch of one of the most anticipated phones of the year, evidently the iPhone 13. Just before its release, the predecessor iPhone 12 received a major price drop in the Chinese market. Now, the Indian market has received a limited time sale discount on the iPhone 12 that will make you go bonkers.

The Flipkart Big Billion Days sale is live and in the sale, the iPhone 12 Mini is available for ₹38,999(~$526). This is a massive discount considering that the phone was launched for a starting price of ₹69,990(~$944). On the other hand, the iPhone 12 is on sale for an attractive price of ₹49,999(~$675). Again, it is worth noting that the launch price of the phone was ₹79,990(~$1,079).

Additionally, the phones have a 10% discount(up to ₹1500) on ICICI and Axis Bank credit cards. Effectively, the phones can be purchased for a starting pricing of₹37,499(~$505) and ₹48,499(~$655).

The iPhone 12 and 12 Mini are currently the most powerful iPhones for the aforementioned price. The iPhone 12 Mini has a 5.4-inch Super Retina XDR panel, whereas, the iPhone 12 features a 6.1-inch Retina XDR screen. The duo equips great cameras with 12MP + 12MP rear camera system.

We already got a sneak peek of the iPhone 12 Pro Max and we now introduce the smaller iPhone 12 mini, as both phones make inroads into the market for a share of consumers’ demand. A Chinese blogger who managed to get his hands on a unit of the iPhone 12 Mini, dismantled the device and shared his experience of what he found inside the mini on his blog.

The teardown exercise began with the removal of the screws holding the device at the bottom. Thereafter, the screen was carefully extracted from the panel. Deploying finesse in his tool handling skills and concentration, the blogger navigated the maze of glue and elements to provide a bird’s eye view of the internal components of the device. The 12 mini is fitted with a 2,227mAh battery, which could be a potential drawback of the model, as the battery may be far behind the other models in the 12-series, as reflected by reviews so far.

Other important components of the iPhone 12 mini were also shown from the teardown exercise. It has an L-shaped motherboard with the SIM slot attached. The dual camera modules reveal the main 12MP camera comes with OIS, which is absent in the 12MP ultrawide camera.

The smartphone, as its name implies, is a pocket-sized device that would serve the needs of a segment of the market. Even with its size, the screen is a 5.4-inch Super XDR OLED display with a resolution of 2340x1080pixel. It has display characteristics of 476 ppi and up to 1200 nits of brightness, at par with the other models in the 12-series.

The teardown also revealed that the iPhone 12 mini comes with the same chipset as the iPhone 12. Similarly, there are no differences in the camera system, wireless charging capability, IP68 rating and colour options between the mini and its bigger counterpart.

The iPhone 12 mini is available in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB storage options. Check out the teardown video from below (source).

Apple has finally taken the wraps off its 2020 iPhone models. The iPhone 12 series is made up of four different models – iPhone 12, 12 Mini, as well as the more premium iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Apple iPhone 12

The iPhone 12 sees a huge change from the iPhone 11 in that it features a Super XDR OLED as against the IPS LCD display on its predecessor.

The iPhone 12 sports a 6.1-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2532×1170 pixel, 460 ppi and 1200 nits of peak brightness. The display supports on 60Hz refresh rate and in terms of the design, it retains the wide notch iPhones have been known for since the iPhone 12. Apple says the display is covered by what it calls Ceramic Shield, co-developed with Corning. The Ceramic Shield glass is touted as having “4 times better drop performance” and is “tougher than any smartphone glass”.

In terms of the design, the iPhone 12 presents with a thinner and more refined design. It is said to be 11% thinner, 16% lighter and 15% smaller in volume when compared to the iPhone 11.

In this era of 5G, Apple is making a shift to 5G smartphones with the iPhone 12 series. The iPhone 12 arrives with support for mmWave in the US as well as sub-6GHz 5G.

The phone is powered by Apple’s A14 Bionic chipset which has a six-core CPU made up of two powerful and four power-efficient cores. The processor comes with a total of 11.8 billion transistors which is about 40% more than the A13 Bionic from last year. It teams up with a quad-core GPU.

The photography aspect is one area where Apple iPhones have been renowned to perform well. The iPhone 12 features a new wide camera having a brighter aperture of f/1.6. The wide camera promises up to 27% better light capture. There is also an ultrawide shooter onboard. The sensors come with Apple’s new Smart HDR 3 with improved white balance, texture and saturation. In addition, the dual rear cameras and the selfie shooter are capable of shooting Night Mode images.

The iPhone 12 is also equipped with MagSafe which allows the company’s special new wireless charger to connect seamlessly onto the rear of the iPhone 12 and deliver up to 15W wireless charging.

Just as was revealed recently, the iPhone 12 will ship without the Earpods and charger. The retail box is also quite tiny as it uses fewer materials and holds just the iPhone and a USB-C to Lightning cable. The retail box is made entirely from biodegradable materials.

The iPhone 12 comes in an array of colours namely Blue, Green, Product Red, White and Black. The device starts at $799 and will be up for pre-orders from October 16 while it will start shipping on October 23.

The iPhone 12 mini also joined the fray and it is fingered as having the potential to end up as the star product among the lot. The iPhone 12 mini moniker paints the picture of a diminutive model but it presents with a 5.4-inch Super XDR OLED screen with a resolution of 2340x1080pixel. The display also comes with 476 ppi and up to 1200 nits of brightness just like the other models in the lineup.

In addition to the display configuration which is similar to the iPhone 12, the iPhone 12 mini also features the same chipset, camera system, wireless charging, IP68 rating and color options as the bigger iPhone 12.

The iPhone 12 and 12 mini will be available in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB storage options. Sales of the iPhone 12 mini will commence on November 6 while it will start shipping on November 13.
