Stunning photos. The fastest chips. Incredible battery life. And iPhone is designed to last, so it holds its value longer. A simple app can transfer your photos, contacts, messages, and more — many of your favorite Android apps will even download automatically. It’s all easier than you think.

Camera

Portrait mode lets you take beautiful shots with dramatic depth of field, then get creative by blurring the background as much as you like. iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro also have Night mode on the Wide, Ultra Wide, and TrueDepth cameras, and they’re better than ever at capturing incredible low‑light shots. They both record 4K HDR video with Dolby Vision, too.

Apple-designed chips

The fastest, most advanced smartphone chips ever.

Apple-designed chips

Apple-designed chips are years ahead of the competition and deliver performance you can’t get with any other smartphone. We also design the operating system. So everything works together beautifully — not just now, but for years to come, with new features and security updates that help keep your iPhone in top form.

Connect

FaceTime and Messages give you new ways to
stay in touch.

Connect

Messages lets you give a thumbs‑up with a quick Tapback, create Memoji, pay a friend for cab fare, and more. And every iMessage is encrypted end‑to‑end to protect your privacy. FaceTime lets you video chat 31 friends at once — you can even use your Memoji and capture Live Photos. You can keep using apps like WeChat and Facebook Messenger, too.

App Store

Our editors curate millions of free and paid apps to help you find your next favorite. When you download an app, it should work as promised. We carefully review each app and require developers to follow strict guidelines on privacy, design, and business models. We also bring you stories about developers and their apps, with tips to get the most out of them.

Privacy

Privacy is built in.

Privacy

iPhone is designed to protect your privacy. Every iPhone comes with secure facial or fingerprint authentication. With Apple Pay, your card number is never stored on your device or on Apple servers — and when you pay it’s never shared by Apple with merchants. And you decide whether apps can access your photos, contacts, and location. The list goes on.

Seamless

If you have a friend with an iPhone, you’ve probably noticed how much easier everything feels. Want to pair new AirPods with your iPhone? It’s a simple one‑tap setup. Want to share photos, videos, or contacts with friends nearby? AirDrop lists their names onscreen, so you can easily choose with a tap.

Environment

More recovered and renewable materials.

Environment

We are always looking for new ways to conserve materials. Whether it’s responsibly sourcing wood fiber for our packaging, using 100% recycled tin in the solder of the main logic board, or inventing a robot to recover materials traditional recyclers can’t. And since reuse is the best form of recycling, most of the devices returned through Apple Trade In are passed on to new owners.

Longevity

Water resistance2, aluminum or stainless steel, and superstrong glass make iPhone incredibly durable. And with automatic iOS updates, you get new features and security enhancements that help your iPhone run beautifully and hold its value longer than other smartphones.

Your photos. Your contacts. You’re good.
