The iPhone 12 also has a new flat-edge design with an aerospace-grade aluminum enclosure, which harks back to the success of the iPhone 4 design.

Apple also introduced systemwide color management to the device for industry-leading color accuracy, with a 2 million-to-1 contrast ratio for true blacks, and immersive HDR viewing experience for high-definition video, photos with more detail, and nearly twice the peak brightness of iPhone 11.
