In the morning of this morning, Apple held the second press conference of this fall at its headquarters. The iPhone 12 series, including the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, were finally officially released because of the epidemic that delayed the launch of the iPhone 12 series in September.
Although it has been reported in the past year that the products to be launched in the press conference have almost no suspense, this is the official release after all, and many things still need to be understood later.
Some points you may pay attention to:
This year's iPhone is still not equipped with a high refresh rate screen, none of them
This generation is OLED screen, comfortable!
5G is a major upgrade focus, and all four iPhones support 5G (the Bank of China does not have millimeter wave band)
The new iPhone no longer comes with a quick charging head or 5V/1A head, and the EarPods headset will be canceled together (for environmental reasons). There will only be a phone and a USB-C to Lighting line in the package
Look at them one by one.
HomePod mini
The first product to be released is the smart speaker HomePod mini, which is completely different from the previous HomePod in appearance. It adopts a more rounded spherical appearance design (to the extent that some people think it is very similar to a Go can). The top is a touch panel that can emit light, and two colors are available: deep space gray and white.
HomePod mini is equipped with a full frequency speaker unit and two low-frequency units, 360 ° omnidirectional sound generation, S5 processing chip, and multiple devices can form stereo; The built-in Siri voice assistant can act as the smart home hub and remotely control HomeKit accessories. In addition, if you have multiple HomePod devices at home, you can also use its broadcast function to communicate with family members in different rooms.
HomePod mini is sold for 749 yuan by BOC, and the time of sale is not determined yet.

Next came Apple's main model, the iPhone 12.
The new generation iPhone has returned to the classic design of flat metal frame+double-sided glass in the iPhone 4 era, and has brought a new 5.4 inch iPhone 12 mini, which is smaller than the iPhone 8 body. The whole machine is as light as 133g, which is a small screen blessing. At the same time, the 6.1 inch iPhone 12 is also thinner (162g, 7.4mm). Both of them support IP68 dustproof and waterproof (can stay for 30 minutes in 6 meters of water depth, with stronger waterproof performance than the previous generation).
