THE IPHONE 12 AND THE NEW 5G TECHNOLOGY

On November sixth, the new iphone 12 was out in stores. As many people have been waiting for this for a year, people are still wondering if the new iphone 12 is worth it. Let’s take a look at what it has to offer. Unlike all the other launches, the new iphone comes in 4 different options. The iphone 12 is about 799 dollars, with two cameras at the back, and a 6.1-inch screen. The iphone 12 mini, which is very similar to the iphone 12, is starting at 699 dollars, with again two cameras at the back, but a 5.4-inch screen. They both come in the color black, white, green, blue and red. The iphone 12 pro, starts at 999 dollars, with three cameras at the back, a 6.1-inch screen, and a 4x zoom in. The iPhone 12 pro max stands at a whopping 1099 dollars, with three cameras at the back and a 6.7-inch screen. The colors are graphite, silver, gold, and a new pacific blue.

But what’s really special about the new phones is the new 5G technology. 5G is next generation wireless network technology that is supposedly expected to change the way people live and work. With 5G technology there will be many improvements made that will introduce all sorts of new tech products. A big improvement from the 4G network to 5G is the speed. So when you’re in a crowded area, there will be a much faster service with the 5G network. 5G also has greater bandwidth, meaning it can handle many more connected devices than the previous networks. With 5G, it can connect to even more devices like self-driving cars, or smart toothbrushes. In 5G, the latency will also be reduced. This is the time it takes for the iPhone to transfer data. An example would be someone downloading a movie on a 4G network, then it would take them around 7 to 10 minutes, but if it was on 5G, the fastest it could take them would be 30 seconds!

Now that you’ve become an expert on what 5G technology is, would you buy the latest Apple product for it’s new 5G technology?
