In addition to 5G connectivity, Apple has also introduced wireless charging capabilities to its iPhone 12 series smartphones. The iPhone 12 series smartphones come with MagSafe technology which enables users to charge them wirelessly using MagSafe's wireless charger. Users can also charge the Apple Watch Series 6 and the iPhone 12 using the same MagSafe wireless charger.

In terms of the camera capabilities, the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Mini come with a dual rear camera setup, while the iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro Max come with a triple-rear camera setup with LiDAR sensors. Apple says that it has not only improved the cameras but also the computational algorithm backing its cameras in the iPhone 12 series. The company says that the iPhone 12 series not only has the company's night mode at the back but also in the front. This means that users can click images using the night using both the phones' front and rear cameras.

Apart from launching the iPhone 12 series smartphones, Apple also launched the HomePod Mini, which is the company's second generation smart speaker. It comes with an intercom feature that enables users to connect two HomePod Mini smart speakers.
