iPhone 12 series with 5G support launched
Apple iPhone 12 series is finally out. This year the firm has introduced as many as four iPhones in its portfolio, all powered by the new A14 Bionic chipset.

Usually the firm introduces its flagship iPhones in September every year.
However, this time the firm is expecting to revive its low iPhone sales projections with multiple models priced at different segments and audience.
The new iPhones try to bring a mix of new tech and nostalgia as it carries a similar design as the iPhone 5 and 5S. it has flat side bezels with a more boxy design but has the latest tech inside that makes it snappier and efficient. It comes in different colours as well.

Apple's A14 Bionic is made using 5nm process. It is said to be 70% faster than last year's A13 Bionic. Apple also says that this chipset can deliver ‘console’ level games as well.
The charging tech is also improving this time. Apple has introduced MagSafe wireless charging system for iPhones. You can use the accessories that attach to the new iPhones using magnets for eacy charging.
