With the launch of the iPhone 12 series, Apple is going all-in with 5G. The new iPhones not only bring the latest generation network but a host of other improvements, especially under the hood. They are powered by the Apple A14 Bionic chipset, which is built on the 5nm process. It features 11.8 billion transistors that offer an increase of over 40% vs A13 processor. 

The chipset comes with a 16-core NPU that is 80% faster and a 6-core GPU that is 50% faster than the competition. Plus, there are major camera improvements with Night Mode coming to all lenses including the ultra-wide and selfie shooter. The primary camera comes equipped with a 7-element lens that brings a 27% improvement in low light performance. The iPhone 12 series sports a Ceramic Shield that makes 4X better drop performance.
