All the new generation models were more expensive than the 2019 vintage. The most basic iPhone 11, for example, had a launch price of R $ 4,999 – R $ 2,000 less than now. At that time, the company lowered the values ​​to boost sales. It has seen a rise recently, as has the iPhone XR.

What’s unusual here is for Apple to officially comment on the values. Usually the company does not address the problem, but this time it opened the game for the TechTudo. The villain? The dollar, as has been the claim of all other companies in the electronics sector.

The note reads: “Apple sets prices in US dollars and then adjusts them internationally, taking into account exchange rates, VAT (value added tax), taxes, and other distribution costs that may vary by product and product. country”. A study of the 31 most traded currencies in the world confirmed that the Brazilian real was the one that lost the most value during 2020.

Both the most sophisticated Pro Max of 2020 and the Galaxy Z Fold 2, Samsung’s folding model that until now was considered the most expensive smartphone in the country. Now, the two tech giants share the thankless achievement.

The iPhone 12 line is made up of redesigned smartphones. The structure resembles the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5, phones from almost a decade ago. She draws attention to the straight sides, unlike the more rounded corners that we get used to seeing in recent years.

There are a number of interesting news, starting with 5G internet compatibility on all models. Mobile phones can connect to the current 5G DSS format, the thinnest version of the future fast and mobile connection. He nicknamed him “5 Gêzinho” on the CBN radio column. They can also use 5G at full capacity when it is available: the “5 Gêzão”.

The forecast is that it will be available during the next year, as soon as the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) carries out the auction of the radio frequencies used in this technology.

A smart feature keeps track of user tasks and automatically switches from 4G to 5G when there is a need for a faster internet. Apple explains that technology helps save energy. It makes sense, since the iPhone 12 lagged behind Android phones in the battery test when it connected to the fifth-generation network.

Another novelty concerns the screen. Now all iPhones have an OLED panel, synonymous with better contrast and vivid color display. Remember that the traditional iPhone 11 used an LCD panel. Despite the high-quality material, it still lost to competitors with OLED, Super AMOLED, or something similar.

The screen has Ceramic Shield to protect it from impacts. It is a mixture of materials that make up the front glass. THE durability is up to four times greater to smartphones of past generations. It is not clear what criteria the company used when releasing this information to the press, but at least we know that one American insurer praised the new protection for the iPhone 12. The glass on the back is also twice as resistant.

Protection against liquids and dust follows IP68 certification, now promising to withstand submersion of up to twenty feet.

Understand the similarities and differences.

iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12 have a screen 5.7 inch and 6.1 inch, respectively. The models repeat the same 12 MP dual camera on the rear: a normal lens and an ultra-wide lens. They are sold in black, white, red, blue and green.

The body of both is made of aluminum. The manufacturer notes that, with the retreaded design, it was possible to reduce edges and weight. The impression, says Apple, is to be using a slimmer and more modern equipment.

The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max have a triple camera (with telephoto lens, something that is not seen in the simpler models). Depending on the brand, the photographic sensor is larger, which translates into better-defined images. They also have a LiDAR sensor, the same one seen on the iPad Pro. It improves depth perception.

Also, the screens are 6.1 inch and 6.7 inch, respectively. There are four colors: silver, graphite, gold and blue. The type of construction changes here: it changes to stainless steel, considered a more noble metal alloy.

They all have the same Bionic A14 processor. The promise is 50% faster than other high-end Android smartphones. The manufacturer does not explain how it comes to this account, but has in its favor the manufacture in 5 nanometers. In other words, it means that they have reached such a point of miniaturization that they can more processing power using less power and taking up less space with transistors.

The iPhone 12 line also features a feature called MagSafe. Older fans will remember when the MacBook charger had a reinforced magnetic outlet, which prevented accidents. Now MagSafe enables wireless charging and also opens up the possibility of a bunch of accessories that are connected by magnets placed on the back of the phone.

No charger or headphones

On the other hand, it is the first generation of Apple phones with no charger and no headphones in the box. Customers who need these parts will need to purchase them separately. The box only includes a cable with USB Type-C and Lightning tips.

The pattern has been used in the past, but only on the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. That is, many old traditional iPhone 11 owners or earlier models will have to pay more to get the full experience or you will need to use the existing Lightning charger and cable kit, but at the risk of slower recharging.

The decision caused a stir among consumers. For its part, Apple says that the changes made to the iPhone 12 and Apple Watch “reduced carbon emissions by more than 2 million tons.” In the tech giant’s accounts, this is equivalent to taking 500,000 cars off the road a year. “We hope that others will follow our example,” he added in a note to TechTudo.

The company announced yesterday (05) the reduction in the price of the official charger: it went from R $ 219 to R $ 199. Some enthusiasts of the technological universe made fun of the novelty. They also cited Xiaomi, which recently began selling a fast charger compatible with iPhone 12 at a price of around R $ 34. It should be remembered, however, that the figure is valid abroad and that there is no forecast for the launch of the accessory. in Brazil.
