Okay, so that's that for tonight. New iPhone prices are here. Credit where it's due – kudos to Apple for keeping the iPhone 12 Mini within acceptable pricing range. The iPhone 11 will csrtainly get an official price cut in India now.

iPhone 12 Pro to cost onward of Rs 1,19,900 in India, iPhone 12 Pro Max from Rs 1,29,900. They, too, will be available from October 30.

INDIA PRICES IN: iPhone 12 Mini to cost onward of Rs 69,900 in India, iPhone 12 will cost Rs 79,900. Both of them will be available from October 30.

So, that's that. The new iPhones are yet again those smartphones that you will really, really want, even if you won't need them. The iPhone 12 Pro camera is excellent for mobile videographers and photographers, which has been the case with the iPhones since forever.

And here's a shot of all of Apple's present generation iPhones, including their USA prices. India prices coming up soon, people.

Should you buy the iPhone 12, 12 Mini or 12 Pro? Certainly. But, it'll cost you $999 for the 12 Pro, and $1,099 for the 12 Pro Max, which means that it's time AGAIN for the kidney jokes. Maybe we need new jokes about iPhones being expensive now.

Here you go, people. Here's every single thing about the all new iPhone 12 Pro. It has a super premium stainless steel finish, gets 5G, new computational photography sorcery along with 10-bit HDR video and RAW stills, and of course, the A14 Bionic.

So, long story short – the iPhone 12 is far more powerful than what you'd realistically need. Unless, of course, you're Emmanuel Lubezski.

Apple finally confirms us that the tiny black speck on the new camera module of the iPhone 12 Pro is indeed a LiDAR scanner. It's all about better depth gauging, which you'd expect from a LiDAR module.

The iPhone 12 Pro video demo is made by none other than Emmanuel Lubezski. Just for reference, he's my all-time favourite cinematographer (and possibly the greatest of all time, ever).

Now, to pro videos – 10-bit HDR video recording and Dolby Vision HDR support comes to iPhone 12 Pro. 4K60p live colour grading while recording via Dolby Vision HDR comes to the new iPhones. On paper, this can be immense for videographers.

Apple ProRAW can edit RAW files in Photos app, and Apple's making an API for third party editors as well.

Introducing, Apple ProRAW on the iPhone 12 Pro, to shoot in full RAW (with log data too, it seems). Okay, this just opened up a new avenue for pro filmmakers using mobiles for shooting.

The iPhone 12 Pro camera gets sensor shift for optical and mechanical stabilisation. Handheld stabilised shots of up to 2s, which any time lapse photographer will tell you is super helpful.

Apple rolls out Deep Fusion technology that is now on all of the iPhone 12 Pro's cameras. The new iPhone 12 Pro camera gets a 52mm telephoto camera with 4x optical zoom, the main camera gets an f/1.6 aperture 7-piece lens, and of course, an extra sensor module that they're gonna talk about now.

The iPhone 12 Pro confirms 6.1-inch OLED Super Retina XDR display, iPhone 12 Pro Max with 6.7-inch display size. All display specs remain constant across all iPhone models.

It's a luscious stainless steel finish on the iPhone 12 Pro, with Ceramic Shield, IP68 rating, and four new colours. Here they are.

And here, walking in like a Daft Punk concert cameo, is the iPhone 12 Pro. 

The iPhone 12 and 12 Mini are priced at $799 and $699. India prices in shortly.

The iPhone 12 Mini will have everything that the iPhone 12 has. It is also super compact. YES, finally a new compact phone! It's much smaller than the iPhone 7/8/SE 2020.

Meanwhile, the iPhone 12 Mini is unveiled... to James Bond's theme. For a while, I was half-rooting for Daniel Craig to walk out on stage.

Aaaand here's the confirmation – no chargers and earphones in the iPhone 12 box. This means a slimmer box, which looks good... but what about my broken iPhone cable?

Now, committing a bit to the environment, which is very important. Apple is using 100% recycled rare earth elements in manufacturing, and also vows to be 100% carbon neutral.

Apple also unveils MagSafe. Re-unveils, rather. It is now a magnetic accessory ecosystem. You get wallets, chargers and a host of other accessories. Apple is also talking about third party accessories with MagSafe. It'll be interesting to see if this becomes a success, eventually.

Meanwhile, an update from India: The HomePod Mini will cost Rs 9,900 in India. Preorders begin November 6, sale from November 16. This is pretty good pricing for all that the HomePod Mini can do.

Apple is also adding Night Mode time lapse on the iPhone 12. It will be brilliant, as long as you have a tripod with you.

And now, about the camera. The iPhone 12 gets 12MP primary and 12MP wide units, along with computational photography that enables Smart HDR 3, Night Mode with faster aperture (and even on the ultra-wide unit and the front camera).

In case you are already fantasising about gaming on the iPhone 12, here's how that would look like in your hands.

Now, we're seeing a demo of League of Legends: Wild Rift, to see proof of just how powerful Apple's graphics chips are on the iPhone 12.
