Enter Ceramic Shield. It’s made by introducing nano‑ceramic crystals — which are actually harder than most metals — into glass. Sounds simple, but it’s incredibly difficult because most ceramics aren’t transparent. By controlling the type of crystals and degree of crystallinity, we developed an exclusive formula that maximizes the toughness of the ceramic while remaining optically clear. This was the breakthrough that made Ceramic Shield ideally suited for the display. It’s a first in any smartphone, and it’s tougher than any smartphone glass.
Tough is great, but we also wanted to make it scratch-resistant. So, using our dual ion-exchange process we use on the back glass, we protect against nicks, scratches, and everyday wear and tear.
Beyond Ceramic Shield, there’s one more thing that contributes to the durability of the front cover. It sits flush to the edge of the phone, which helps protect it even more. Altogether, we’ve quadrupled the drop performance — the largest year-over-year improvement ever for iPhone.
Superfast wireless
Hello 5G.
5G transforms iPhone with accelerated wireless speeds and better performance on congested networks.5 Now you can download huge files on the go or stream high-quality HDR movies. Without. All. The. Lag. iPhone also has the most 5G bands of any smartphone so you get 5G in more places. And all that speed opens up amazing possibilities for the future of apps.
We engineered custom antennas and radio components for high sensitivity and incredible efficiency. Then we gave iPhone 12 Pro the most 5G bands of any smartphone, so you’ll get 5G in more places.
We looked at our entire software stack — from applications to system level frameworks — and optimized it to take advantage of 5G. For example, many apps will benefit from 5G without using additional power.
5G on iPhone isn’t just faster, it’s smarter, too. When your iPhone doesn’t need 5G speeds, like when it’s making updates in the background, it automatically uses LTE to save battery life. But as soon as speed does matter — if you’re downloading a season of your favorite show — iPhone 12 Pro jumps to 5G. Of course, you can also choose to use 5G whenever it’s available.
We also teamed up with carriers and performed extensive engineering and testing to optimize 5G networks. So far, we’ve seen amazing real-world speeds, along with improved call quality, battery life, and coverage around the world. This is 5G, iPhone style.
A14 Bionic
The only thing even close was our last chip.
A14 Bionic is the first 5-nanometer chip in the industry, with advanced components literally atoms wide. Forty percent 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.
The fastest chip ever in a smartphone. Again.
The new capabilities of iPhone 12 Pro require speed. Lots of it. And one way to make a chip faster is to add more transistors, meaning you have to make the chip bigger or the transistors smaller.
We went for smaller. iPhone 12 Pro has the first 5‑nanometer chip in the industry. The components are measured in mere atoms, which means the transistors can be packed incredibly close together. So energy flows between them faster — and less of it gets lost along the way. That’s how A14 Bionic boosts performance while saving energy.
We dramatically increased the performance of our Neural Engine by doubling the cores from 8 to 16. That makes intensive machine learning tasks — like applying Deep Fusion to improve detail in your photos — up to 80% faster. We also made the dedicated machine learning accelerators on our CPU 70% faster, so any app can tap into that improved performance across our entire chip.
What does all this mean for you? A ton. Big performance gains across the board. Smart HDR 3 for more true-to-life photos. Improved detail in high-quality video, thanks to advanced temporal noise reduction on the new Image Signal Processor. And Dolby Vision that’s actually encoded while you shoot — instead of by pro computers in an editing studio. There’s never been anything like A14 Bionic, and we can’t wait to see all the incredible things you’ll do with it.
iPhone 12 Pro jumps from 8- to 10‑bit HDR recording, capturing 700 million colors for much more lifelike video. Then it goes one better, recording in Dolby Vision — the format used by film studios. You can even edit Dolby Vision video and use AirPlay to see every last bit of the difference on the big screen.
A new pro video experience. Only on iPhone.
The jump from 8- to 10 bit HDR recording is tremendous, capturing tons more color. And adding end-to-end Dolby Vision — from capture to edit to playback — allows iPhone 12 Pro to do even more than movie industry cameras.
Today, Dolby Vision grading is applied across an entire movie in post-production. It’s a time-consuming process that happens on pro computers in editing studios. Now this huge workflow is in your pocket. To do it, we had to create a whole new way to dynamically provide Dolby Vision tuning to each frame, as you go.
How does it work? iPhone 12 Pro takes two exposures and runs them through our custom image signal processor to create a histogram, which is a graph of the tonal values in each frame. The Dolby Vision metadata is then generated based on that histogram. It takes the sheer speed of A14 Bionic to do it in real time.
Before 12 Pro, you couldn’t shoot Dolby Vision — let alone edit it — on a smartphone. Now you can edit all your Dolby Vision videos right from your iPhone in the Photos app, iMovie, or Clips. Or from your Mac with Final Cut Pro (coming later this year).
iPhone 12 Pro, with its insanely fast chip, lets you shoot 4K Dolby Vision video up to 60 fps. Edit easily in all the ways you’re used to. And blast it to your TV with a tap using AirPlay.6 It’s an amazing experience that can’t be found on any other phone.
