You can get iPhone 12 in white, black, blue, green, and a beautiful PRODUCT RED version. iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max both come in gold, silver, graphite, and a great-looking Pacific Blue.
Other differences between iPhone models come primarily from the current operating system, iOS 14.
Not sure whether to get an iPhone 12 model? Here are a few more key differences:
The battery life of the iPhone 12 Pro Max is longer than the other models. For example, audio playback time on the 12 Pro Max is rated at 80 hours versus 65 hours on the 12 and 12 Pro, with the 12 mini maxing out at 50 hours.
iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max have triple rear-facing cameras, providing amazing optical zoom, Portrait mode, and other features. The 12 and 12 mini has dual rear-facing cameras.
Screen resolution: The higher the resolution, the crisper the phone display. The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro provide 2532 x 1170 resolution; 12 mini boasts 2340 x 1080; and 12 Pro Max provides a stunning 2778 x 1284.
