Apple releases iPhone 12 lighter, thinner, built-in A14 Bionic chip, fully supports 5G

-
Apple announced the iPhone 12 family that fully supports 5G communications at the second fall conference held today. First, introduce a smaller iPhone 12 5G model, which is thinner (11%), smaller (15%), lighter (16%), and narrower than the iPhone 11. Equipped with the previous iPhone 11 and iPhone XR The same 6.1-inch display.


This "main" iPhone is transitioning from an LCD screen to a Super Retina XDR OLED screen, with a pixel density of 460 PPI (twice the iPhone 11). Support 1200 nits brightness, Dolby visual effects, HLG, HDR10 and other display features.




As rumored, the side bezel of this phone is flat, and the overall appearance is closer to the iPad Pro and iPad Air (plus the iPhone 4 years ago). The new material Ceramic shield from Corning will make the new iPhone have harder front and back glass than any smartphone. The fuselage glass is also stronger and tougher than before, and its anti-fall performance is four times that of the past.



iPhone 12 will have four colors: black, white, blue, red and green. Except for the flat sides, it is generally similar to the iPhone 11. There is still a bang on the top to accommodate Apple 's Face ID technology, but the border around the screen has been reduced-this is another benefit of OLED. The iPhone 12 is equipped with two cameras on the back, placed in a matt glass block.

The iPhone 12 also represents Apple’s first major foray into 5G cellular technology. The iPhone 12 supports the most 5G frequency bands in the industry, with a peak download speed of up to 4Gbps, and the iOS system software also provides special optimizations for 5G applications. In the smart data mode, You can switch to the 4G LTE network if not necessary to extend the battery life of the device.


Before the official release, Apple has conducted 5G tests with more than 100 operators in 30 market regions. iPhone 12 is equipped with A14 Bionic chip, using 5nm production process, with 1.18 billion transistors, performance is 40% higher than A13, the internal design is 6-core CPU + 4-core GPU, the neural engine has also doubled to 16 cores, which can perform 11 Trillion operations.



The A14 Bionic chip built into the iPhone 12 is exactly the same as the one on the iPad Air 4 released last month. Apple claims that the powerful A14 Bionic can bring a console-like experience, and later this year, the "League of Legends" mobile game will land on the iPhone.




In terms of cameras, the new iPhone 12 5G is equipped with a rear dual camera, which provides an ultra-wide viewing angle of 120°, supplemented by an aperture of f/1.6. The wide-angle end also uses a 7P lens, with a 27% improvement in low-light performance. With the new function Smart HDR 3, the camera can use machine learning to recognize scenes and more elements, such as rocks and sky, and the night scene mode of the front camera has also been greatly enhanced. A larger aperture will also help improve the quality of video shooting, and the night time-lapse shooting function is coming soon.




Interestingly, the new iPhone 12 5G also embraces MagSafe magnetic charging technology again. In terms of wireless charging technology, magnetic suction can better align the position of the charging pad.




For MacBook users, this feature cut off by the new Apple notebook is really regrettable. Fortunately, we saw its return on the iPhone 12. It uses magnets to automatically calibrate the charger to achieve the best charging effect, and can support up to 15W. Use a magnetometer to identify accessories . Now also provides a new housing for magnet adsorption. And Apple specially designed a foldable charging pad accessory for iPhone and Apple Watch.

  Beijing time October 10 news, according to foreign media reports, the latest research shows that scientists should be able to create a "super magnetic field" on the earth, equivalent to the magnetic field strength of black holes and neutron stars. According to the latest research report by Masakatsu Murakami, an engineer at Osaka University in Japan, and his colleagues, bombarding microtubes with lasers can generate very strong magnetic fields, which will be of great significance for the development of basic physics, materials science and astronomy research. On October 6, this research paper was published in the open access journal "Scientific Reports". Most of the magnetic fields on the earth, even artificial ones, are not particularly strong. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) used in hospitals usually produces 1 Tesla (equivalent to 10,000 Gauss). In comparison, the magnetic field generated by the compass needle swinging northward is 0.3-0.5 Gauss, which is the m...

  As for the Linux 5.4 LTS long-term support kernel, it has introduced many new features and improvements to provide first-class hardware support. For example, use zero-copy network to improve network performance, support Btrfs / OCFS2 file system and DTrace, as well as security enhancement and virtualization support for AArch64 (ARM64) platform. UEK Release 6 includes all Cgroup v2 features of Linux 5.4 LTS, a new parallel optimization framework for CPU-intensive work, and kswapd and kexec for verifying the signature of kernel images. In addition, it supports NFS network file transfer, and can treat persistent memory as traditional RAM NVDIMM, NVMe structure/multipath support, pass-through commands, namespace write protection, and asynchronous namespace access improvements. Users who are currently using Oracle 7 major versions can obtain the Update 9 update through the official resource repository, or visit the official website to download the complete ISO installation image of Or...
