The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro are major redesigns of the iPhone, after recent iPhones generally followed the model set by the iPhone X in 2017. This year’s phones have flat edges like the iPhone 4 and 5 of yesteryear, as well as support for 5G wireless networks. They also have improved camera features and faster internals (especially where machine learning is concerned).
For the first time since Apple split its lineup between high-end and less-high-end phones, the lower-end option features an OLED screen with only subtly poorer specs than those found in the most expensive phones. The 12 Pro is instead differentiated with an extra camera lens (telephoto), a lidar sensor, additional photography features, and more expensive materials.

The new iPad Air features a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, a new Touch ID sensor in the top button, camera and audio upgrades, and the new A14 Bionic CPU, Apple’s most powerful CPU ever.

The new iPad Air starts at $599, available beginning in October 2020.

The iPad Air comes in five colors: silver, space gray, rose gold, green, and sky blue.
The iPad Air is also a big redesign, though it adheres fairly closely to the edge-to-edge screen look introduced with recent iPad Pro models. It’s a major step up over the previous iPad Air, such that many reviewers have questioned the value of the iPad Pro pending a major update to that product (which will likely come next spring).
iPhone 12 prices range from $799 to $979, depending on specification (mainly storage). The 12 Pro goes for between $999 and $1,299. The iPad Air starts at $599 and goes up to $849. We have all three devices on hand and expect to publish our reviews next week.
