The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini come in five fresh finishes - black, white, red, green and blue. Apple fans would be familiar with the black, white and red versions but the pastel green one was a new addition to the iPhone 11 and the navy blue version is the latest addition for this year's release.

The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini are also the world's smallest, thinnest and lightest 5G phone!

Like the iPhone 11, both the iPhone 12 and mini versions come with dual cameras.

The Ceramic Shield front cover is the biggest leap in durability in iPhone history! It's made by introducing nano-ceramic crystals which are actually harder than most metals - into glass. This is a first in any smartphone, making the phones tougher than any smartphone glass.

The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini also have an industry-leading IP68 rating for water resistance up to 6 meters for up to 30 minutes, and are protected against everyday spills, including coffee and soda. No need to cry over spilled milk anymore, literally.

One of the most exciting parts about the new phones is probably the 5G speed! It's apparently super fast so you can download movies on the fly, stream higher-quality videos or FaceTime in HD over a mobile network, all that with less lag.

Check out the five colours below:

Designed with premium materials, the iPhone 12 Pro models boast a new, sophisticated flat-edge design featuring a stainless steel band paired with a matte glass back, as well as the incredibly durable Ceramic Shield.
