New phones run on Apple custom chip that company calls the fastest yet for a smartphone
Apple Inc. is bringing 5G capabilities to its entire lineup of new smartphones, and keeping the starting prices the same as last year’s iPhones.
The company rolled out four new iPhone 12 devices during a virtual event Tuesday, focusing on camera improvements as well as applications that could be enhanced by 5G. All four of Apple’s AAPL, -2.65% new phones will work with sub-6G 5G, while U.S. phones will be compatible with millimeter-wave 5G.
While sub-6 5G is more widely available, it offers a less dramatic step up in speed and lag times relative to the 4G networks that consumers have become accustomed to in recent years. Millimeter-wave 5G delivers a bigger speed boost but its use cases are more limited to dense urban areas. The phones will have “smart data” modes that determine when to use 5G based on various factors like data usage and battery life.

Apple’s new iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max feature three cameras meant to deliver better photography capabilities. These phones will have an ultrawide camera, a telephoto camera, and a new wide camera that the company said will improve pictures taken in lowlight and bright environments. The telephoto camera on the iPhone 12 Pro Max has a longer focal length. Both of these models come with a LIDAR sensor, which Apple said will enhance lowlight photos as well as create better opportunities in augmented reality due to its depth-sensing capabilities.

Thanks, Swordmaker!
I’ll be upgrading my 6S+ with a 12 Pro Max.
If you want on or off the Apple/Mac/iOS Ping List, Freepmail me.
Which networks are currently 5G?
The Androids. LG Velvet has 5G now.
AND they’re donating a fortune to blm/antifa and something called the “Equal Justice Initiative”!!
I’m betting some her that will get orgasmic over this news will bitch and moan on an NFL thread or have already.
Or bash Amazon or Twitter...which deserve to be bashed.
Ah, it is what it is. Almost every corporation is donating and making big speeches on their websites and getting involved in “community” initiatives.
Just try not to be hypocrites when a group you don’t like or a sport you don’t care about does the same thing.
Networks...
Wow! $1100 for a phone? What a deal?
Sounds real stupid to me.
“I’ll be upgrading my 6S+ with a 12 Pro Max.”
Don’t make any hasty decisions!
AAPL (-2.65%)
BBRY (+8.21%)
None. 5g requires a fiber network and more towers.
Wife has 7+, I have Xr
Decisions, decisions
AT&T, T-Mobile/Sprint....pushing out beaucoup ads on the web.
Good strategy?
... 5g requires a fiber network and more towers.
Or fiber to 5g femptocells
My WOW internet service got out of sync with all my Apple Products last night. Took until this afternoon for WOW to stabilize the service.

People are so clueless. 5G is based on 4G. The radio and baseband IC designers have known about 5G protocols for years. It doesn’t cost any more for 5G.
