iPhone 12 Models and HomePod Mini Revealed at Apple Event

Today, Apple revealed their new iPhone Models and HomePod mini and their new A14 processor in their live event. The event hosted by Tim Cook. As expected, Apple announced HomePod Mini and four versions of the iPhone 12. Normally, Apple announces its new iPhones in September. But because of the pandemic, the announcement made in October.

HomePod Mini

The event started with the reveal of the HomePod Mini. HomePod mini is a smart speaker including Siri. The device has a spherical design and illuminating different colours at the top when Siri is active. In the event, Apple said that HomePod Mini has an improved sound quality and it has the Apple S5 chip inside. If you have more than one HomePod Minis in your house, we have good news for you. Because all the devices work synchronized with each other. For example, you can say anything on the device inside the living room and all the other devices in the house can hear what you say. And the people near the other devices can reply back. So no more shouts to the kids to come to dinner.

And if you have two devices in the same room, they can pair “intelligently” and become a “stereo pair”. HomePod Mini will be in white and space grey colours. The devices will cost 99$ and will be available for ordering on November 6 and will start shipping on November 16.

New iPhone Versions

iPhone 12

The iPhone 12 will come with two cameras at the backside. The company said iPhone 12 is %11 thinner, %15 smaller and %16 lighter than the iPhone 11. The phone will feature an upgraded XDR display and a tougher screen material called “Ceramic Shield”. It is said that with that screen, the iPhone 12 will be 4x more save chance drop performance. Of course, the new iPhone will have 5G support. This means users will have faster download/upload speeds, better live streaming performance and lower latency while gaming. The iPhone 12 will use seven-element lenses on their cameras so, with those lenses, users will have much better performance on low-light environments.

Apple will also add LiDAR Scanner to their new phones. LiDAR enables the iPhone to precisely place augmented reality objects and map spaces around you, according to Apple.
