The iPhone 12 + 12 Pro and iPad Air 4 are now available worldwide. Those who pre-ordered in time can look forward to receiving the new devices today.
This year, Apple held the iPhone keynote a little later than usual. The reason for this is the global COVID-19 pandemic. Due to delays in development and manufacturing, the company has to release the four new iPhone 12 models in two phases. While the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro are available today, the mini and Max models can be pre-ordered on November 6th. The launch will take place on November 13th. The devices have several things in common - one of them is the brand new design. Apple's new smartphone range now has an iPad Pro-like look. While the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 appear with aluminum frames, the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max devices have a stainless steel component.
iPhone 12: All the details at a glance
According to Apple, all four devices have a new, more robust display with OLED technology - it goes by the name "Super Retina XDR". The company has not only improved the display but also strengthened the glass from which it is made. In addition, all models support the new 5G standard. The heart of the new smartphone generation from Cupertino is the brand new A14 Bionic processor. The most important details can be found below.

iPad Air 4 – A worthwhile update
The iPad Air 4, introduced in September, is also available today. The device has a completely new design - modeled on the iPad Pro - and offers a high-resolution 10.9-inch display. As has often been speculated, the Touch ID sensor has been housed in the standby button. The new iPad Air has a "huge leap in performance" thanks to the latest A14 Bionic processor. The CPU is 40% faster, GPU performance has been improved by 30%, and machine learning performance has also increased thanks to a new neural engine. It also has True Tone and an anti-reflective coating as well as USB-C. The speaker system has also been revised as part of the update.
iPhone 12 & iPad Air 4: Waiting times of several weeks
The device supports the second generation Apple Pencil and the brand new Magic Keyboard. It is available in 64 GB and 256 GB storage versions as a WiFi or WiFi-Cellular model. The colors available are space gray, silver, rose gold, green and sky blue. The device starts at 632.60 euros and can be purchased immediately. If you want to order one of the devices online, you have to expect a waiting time of a few weeks. Alternatively, you can also check the store stock via the Apple Store app. queried If devices are in stock, they can be paid for using the app and picked up at the store. Anyone interested in this option should visit regularly in the early morning hours. (Image: Apple)
