Apple has a habit of acting like it invented things other phones have been able to do for ages. Video calls had been around long before FaceTime was a thing and fingerprints had been unlocking phones for ages when the iPhone 5S appeared. Annoying, isn’t it? But when a new tech is embraced by Apple, that’s usually a sign that it’s about to go mainstream… and the iPhone 12 Pro finally has 5G.
For some that would be enough, but there’s also a new 6.1in Ceramic Shield display, which Apple reckons is four times more robust than before, and a speedy A14 Bionic chip that’s claimed to make the 12 Pro up to 50% faster than any other phone.
