Apple on Tuesday presented a new range of iPhones, the first with 5G, the iPhone 12, which will be marketed in the coming weeks at base prices ranging from $ 699 to $ 1,099.

The Californian giant has launched four new models capable of using the ultra-fast waves of 5G: the iPhone 12, 12 mini, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max.

"Today is the start of a new era," said Tim Cook, the CEO of the US electronics and tech giant, during a presentation of its new products online.

"Impressive speeds"

"We have carried out 5G tests with more than 100 operators in 30 regions and the speeds observed are impressive," said Arun Mathias, a vice president of the Californian group.

"Under ideal conditions, we measured speeds of over 4 gigabits per second (Gb / s), and up to 1 Gb / s under typical conditions."

He also claimed that the iPhone 12 integrated "more 5G bandwidth than any other smartphone."
