Apple unveils 4 new 5G iPhones including Mini, Pro
Oct. 13 (UPI) — Apple on Tuesday unveiled its first 5G-comptable iPhones, including a new Mini smartphone and an update of its Pro device.
The new smartphones will be available as a standard iPhone 12, the iPhone 12 Mini, the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max — all with 5G capability.
“Every decade there’s a new generation of technology that provides a step change in what we can do with our iPhones,” CEO Tim Cook said in the virtual announcement. “This is a huge moment for all of us.”
Though 5G capability promises a faster experience for iPhone 12 users, not all cities and carriers offer the technology. The iPhone 12 lineup of phones is the first by Apple to offer 5G.
