The iPhone 12 is here. Apple just wrapped up its big iPhone event where it announced four new iPhone 12 models, all of which support new faster 5G networks.
As of Tuesday, Apple’s iPhone lineup will be very broad, with several models spanning a wide range of price points.

iPhone 12 Mini starts at $699
iPhone 12 Pro starts at $999
iPhone 12 Pro Max starts at $1,099
The company also announced a new smart home speaker, called the HomePod Mini, and some fun accessories for the new iPhones that use magnets to attach to them. The iPhone 12 Mini with a 5.4-inch screen will cost $699, and the main size model with a 6.1-inch screen will cost $799. The main size goes on sale Oct. 23 with preorders starting this week.
The Mini goes on preorder Nov. 6 and ships Nov. 13. Apple is also releasing new high-end iPhone models under the Pro moniker. The iPhone 12 Pro with a 6.1-inch screen starts at $999 and goes on sale on October 23. Pre-orders start on Friday.
The iPhone 12 Pro Max starts at $1099 and goes on pre-order on Friday, November 6th, and will ship on November 13th. The iPhone 12 Pro Max, will have a bigger 6.7-inch display that Apple says is the largest iPhone screen it has released so far.
