"It’s a leap year.
A14 Bionic rockets past every other smartphone chip. The Pro camera system takes low-light photography to the next level — with an even bigger jump on iPhone 12 Pro Max. And Ceramic Shield delivers four times better drop performance. Let’s see what this thing can do.

A14 Bionic
The only thing even close was our last chip.
A14 Bionic is the first 5-nanometre chip in the industry, with advanced components literally atoms wide. Forty per cent more transistors rev up speeds while increasing efficiency for great battery life. And a new ISP powers Dolby Vision recording — something no pro movie camera, let alone any other phone, can do.

LiDAR technology
Scans the surface of Mars. And now your living room.NASA is using LiDAR technology for its next Mars landing. iPhone 12 Pro Max uses a LiDAR Scanner to measure how long it takes light to reflect back from objects. So it can create a depth map of whatever space you’re in. Because it’s ultra-fast and accurate, AR apps can now transform a room into a realistic rainforest or show you how a new sneaker will fit.

Pro camera system
A new day for Night mode.
Night mode comes to both the Wide and Ultra Wide cameras and is better than ever at capturing incredible low-light shots. LiDAR makes Night mode portraits possible. And the Wide camera lets in 27 per cent more light for greater detail and sharper focus day or night.

iPhone 12 Pro Max. Camerus maximus
The bigger iPhone maxes out the Pro camera system. A 47 per cent larger sensor and larger pixels dramatically increase the amount of light gathered on the Wide camera. A new OIS stabilizes the sensor instead of the lens so your shots are steady — even when you’re not. And the new 65 mm Telephoto camera lets you zoom in tighter on portraits.

Portraits that come out at night.
Night mode portraits on the Wide camera give you vivid colour as well as beautiful bokeh that accentuates lit buildings and street lights — any background lights.
Even with a single small light source, LiDAR and our A14 Bionic can render every pattern and texture in the foreground along with realistic colour throughout the room.
Deep Fusionkicks in for low- to mid‑light scenes. The Neural Engine analyses multiple exposures pixels by pixel to bring out unprecedented detail in the magnifying glass, the woman and the wall.
Portrait mode, fine-tuned.
Even better at separating the subject from the background. And creative controls let you adjust the background blur and light on faces.
More detail. In the blink of AI.
Smart HDR 3 automatically refines highlights, shadows and contours. Even at midday, you can see detail in her face and shadows that graduate all the way to true black.
Smart HDR 3 captures every bit of golden hour magic, pulling out all the texture in the rock while staying true to the subtle blues of the sky.
Smart HDR 3 dials in the white balance and the seafoam holds its shape and definition despite all the motion.
Beyond faces, Smart HDR 3 uses machine learning to recognise scenes so it can bring out the cracks in the ground and the roughness of the hill without increasing noise in the sky.
Shot on iPhone 12 Pro Max.
2.5x optical zoom on the 65 mm Telephoto camera lets you see all that close-up detail without being right next to your subject.
Bigger pixels on the Wide camera help reveal intricate patterns, subtle textures, and incredible detail throughout the shot — even when you’re shooting in available light.
Colors are remarkably true to life in almost any light, like all the translucent reds in her outfit, and the saturated neon hues of the diner behind.

Apple ProRAW gives you all the standard RAW information, along with the Apple image pipeline data. So you can get a head start on editing — with noise reduction and multi-frame exposure adjustments already in place — and have more time to tweak colour and white balance.

Now every night is movie night.
The Wide camera’s larger sensor brings way more detail out of the shadows. And for the first time, you can take Night mode Time‑lapse videos with a tripod to capture scenes with dramatic motion. Now even your movies can pull an all-nighter.

It’s never too late to take another Night mode selfie.
Night mode comes to the front camera, bringing all that low‑light detail and natural colour to your favourite subject. Deep Fusion, Smart HDR 3 and Dolby Vision recording are now on the TrueDepth camera too. So you’ll look your best in any light.
Super Retina XDR display

We reduced our carbon footprint. By thinking inside the box.
Carbon savings equal to 450,000 fewer cars on the road per year.
Across the iPhone family, we’re removing the power adapter and EarPods that often go unused, but including the fast‑charging USB‑C to Lightning cable that most people need. That shrinks packaging, and more boxes per shipment mean fewer shipments overall. We’re also transitioning our manufacturing partners to renewable energy. Altogether, this eliminates over 2 million metric tons of carbon emissions annually.
Even the little things are a big deal.
