Apple has released new support information around MagSafe following the iPhone 12’s release, instructing users to take care when handling cards with RFID chips and magnetic strips near the device, and to certainly not leave them placed between the back of the phone and the MagSafe wireless charger. The iPhone 11s LCD display has unquestionably been the Achilles’ heel of Apples entry-level premium iPhones in recent years, but the iPhone 12 alleviates that. By ensuring that the charger clicks precisely into place (and boy, it clips firmly), with confirmation through the chip that the charger is safe, Apple has upped the power when wirelessly charging older iPhones we’ve sometimes woken in the morning to find that our wireless charger had slipped a little when we placed our phone on it, and the phone is nearly out of battery, and that’ll be a thing of the past with the iPhone 12 and MagSafe.
Jim Wilson/The New York TimesI started this iPhone review in the most peculiar way: by opening a map to find out where I could test it.Thats because Apples newest iPhones, for the first time, work with 5G, the ultrafast fifth-generation wireless networks that will theoretically let people download a movie to their devices in seconds. The problem? The superspeedy 5G networks have not been rolled…

The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro are here and mark the beginning of a new generation of iPhone. Support for 5G, a new hardware design and camera improvements are a significant step away from the iPhone X generation of devices. This is nothing new. Apple did something similar in 2010 with the iPhone 4 and in 2014 when it released the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.There is one big difference with the iPhone 12…

A gentleman once told me that sometimes a new perspective becomes way more important than having a new idea. While reviewing the iPhone 12, I revisited the thought and realised how Apples new flagship iPhone becomes a talking point without being radically different. More than the allure of Apple, I would say it is the sheer simplicity and clever implementation that makes the iPhone 12 a desirable…

Of the four members of the new iPhone 12 family, the base iPhone 12 might be easy to overlook. It isn’t a radically different size, it doesn’t have the highest-end camera system, and it is perhaps the most iterative in terms of updates in the new portfolio. This isn’t a simple upgrade to the iPhone 11 though; launching at a much higher starting price, it creates a new tier in Apple’s lineup.…
