Apple recently unveiled the new 5G enabled iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini, complete with a fast new processing chip, upgraded display (think even clearer selfies) and the most shatter resistant front screen of any iPhone to date.
How do you open engineering mode on iPhone 12? ›Accessing Field Test Mode on an iPhone can be quite straightforward: simply go to your phone's dialer, type in *3001#12345#* and hit the dial button.
What is the specification of iPhone? ›| Display | Type | TFT |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 3.5 inches, 36.5 cm2 (~52.0% screen-to-body ratio) | |
| Resolution | 320 x 480 pixels, 3:2 ratio (~165 ppi density) | |

Beyond adding 5G, Apple has equipped the iPhone 12 family with its powerful new A14 Bionic processor, a Super Retina XDR display, a more durable Ceramic Shield front cover, and a MagSafe feature for more reliable wireless charging, and support for attachable accessories.
What is the secret button on the iPhone 12? ›The feature that turns the Apple logo on the back of your iPhone into a secret button is called Back Tap. It is hidden within the Accessibility settings of your iPhone and it is switched off by default.
What does iPhone 12 have that others dont? ›The iPhone 12 has Apple's new A14 Bionic processor, which is the first 5nm chip in a smartphone, and it feels lightning-fast. I write that every year, of course: I wrote it last year about the A13 Bionic, and the year before that about the A12 Bionic. And those phones don't necessarily feel slow.
Do I need a protector for iPhone 12? ›The short answer is yes. Apple announced its new iPhone 12 models have Ceramic Shield for their screens—offering four times better protection than previous phones if they get dropped. The good news is the new phone screens are stronger. The bad news is they are not indestructible.
Does iPhone 12 need a case? ›We would recommend that you invest in a case or cover for your iPhone 12 Pro. A good cover can protect your phone from cracked screens, from drops, dents, dirt, scratches and help keep it looking like new for when you'd like to sell it.
How much force does it take to break an iPhone 12? ›
The iPhone 12, however, can withstand 443 Newtons of pressure before breaking.
What does dialing * 3001 12345 #* do? ›Dial *3001#12345#* and press the Call button. This will launch the Field Test Mode app and where the bars/dots were in the top left corner of the screen, you'll now see a negative number. The negative number is the decibel signal strength reading and should be followed by the carrier name and then the network type.
What is *# 33 iPhone code? ›Dial *#33# and tap Call checks for call control bars by checking all the usual suspects (voice, data, fax, sms, etc) to see whether barring is enabled or disabled for outgoing.
How long does iPhone 12 battery last? ›The iPhone 12 has a battery of 2,815 mAh. Video playback up to 16 hours, video playback (streamed) up to 11 hours, and audio playback up to 65 hours. If you are looking for extra battery hours we recommend the following for the iPhone 12 power banks based on reliability, durability and look and feel. Deal!
What are iPhone best features? ›- iPhone reveals the data collection. ...
- iPhone restricts online activities storage. ...
- Apple App Store offers secure apps. ...
- Malware activities. ...
- iPhone shows if the mic or camera is open by any app.
No, the iPhone 12 does not have a Touch ID because it does not have a Home button. iPhones have always used Touch ID sensors embedded in their home button to recognize and use fingerprints. Modern iPhones had to get rid of the home button in favor of the bezel-less look and thus have replaced Touch ID with Face ID.
How do I check my RAM on my iPhone 12? ›There's really no way. Each iPhone model has a set amount of RAM that's the same regardless of the storage capacity. Apple doesn't publish the amount of RAM in their technical specifications, but many sites have that information available.

What is the blue dot at the top of my iPhone 12? ›This icon means that some app or feature is requesting the microphone to be active. It's likely to be something in Accessibility, such as Voice Control.

Do I need Gorilla Glass with iPhone 12? ›Ceramic Shield vs Gorilla Glass Victus: Scratch Resistance
The iPhone 12 also starts scratching at the exact same level as the Gorilla Glass Victus, so, don't expect a notable improvement in terms of scratch resistance.
It should survive most everyday impacts, but it will still break if you drop it from a reasonable height onto a hard surface. If you rarely dropped your previous phones, and they never get a lot of scratches, you might be better off enjoying your iPhone without a case or screen protector.
Should I put tempered glass on my iPhone camera? ›The camera is a powerful feature, but it's vulnerable to damage if it is not properly protected. By using an iPhone case, a screen protector, or a lens cap, you can help to keep your camera safe from scratches, bumps, and other damage.
How do I protect my iPhone 12 camera? ›Among the easiest methods to protect your iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max's camera lens is using a protective case. This will not only keep the camera lens module safe but also the phone. For ease of use, you can use lightweight and thin cases that have a raised notch near the opening for the camera lens.
What drains iPhone 12 battery? ›Head to Settings, go to Battery, and tap on the 'Last 10 Days' option. It will display your battery usage by different apps. Close such apps and run in the background. You can also delete some of the apps that are not useful for you and stop iPhone battery draining fast.
How many drops can iPhone 12 survive? ›
A side drop sees the camera stop working on the iPhone 12, and a drop on the back breaks the glass of both with some bending of the overall shape. Amazingly though, the screen remains in one piece during both these tests, and it's only a ten-foot display-down drop that finally cracks the screen on the iPhone 12 Pro.
Do magnets break iPhone 12? ›No, a magnet will not damage your smartphone's…
And the reason why not is simple – your phone's components are not magnetic. If they aren't magnetic, they cannot be disturbed by magnets in your phone's case. Apple iPhone and Android devices use NAND flash memory, which are not affected by magnets.
