Apple has announced its first smartphones built to work with 5G. While the new phones may have been long awaited by Apple fans, many users will not experience the reality of 5G anytime soon. This is because 5G networks are still being built in many parts of the world, including wide areas of the United States.

On Tuesday, the company announced four types of its latest smartphone, the iPhone 12. The main model has the same display size as the iPhone 11—15.5 cm, but the new iPhone 12 is lighter and thinner. It sells for $800. A much smaller type, called iPhone 12 Mini, has a 13.7 cm display. It is priced at $700. The company describes the Mini as "the world's smallest, thinnest, lightest 5G phone". The other two devices—the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max—are aimed at users asking for Apple's highest end smartphones. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is the largest of the new phones, with a 17 cm display. The Pro comes with a 15.5 cm display. The iPhone 12 Pro sells for $1,000, while the Pro Max costs an additional $100. Apple says the Pro and Pro Max offer a more powerful three-camera instrument and improved photo taking tools to produce better pictures and videos.

Pre-orders began on October 16 for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro in the United States, Britain, China and some other countries. The iPhone Mini and Pro Max will be available for pre-order on November 6 and will arrive in stores on November 13.
