The “pro” model phones also introduce for the first time ever Dolby Vision video capability, providing the ability for users to create videos on a cinematic level. 

“This is a huge leap for iPhone, bringing the best 5G experience in the market and delivering our most advanced technologies to users who want the absolute most from their iPhone,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing.

The new smartphones also have built-in magnets on the back, allowing for a MagSafe wireless charger. 

As expected, Apple's new iPhone lineup will be missing EarPods and a power adaptor. Apple said their new products would ship lighter for environmental reasons. 

The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro will be available for purchase on Oct. 23 while the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max will be available Nov. 13.
