The iPhone 12 lineup is out. It was launched at Apple's virtual event on Tuesday along with the HomePod mini. Apple has also reintroduced MagSafe, its sub-brand of chargers and accessories, along with a declaration that it will no longer ship the humble 5W charger and EarPods bundled with its products. The four new models of the iPhone 12 are the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 Mini, the more versatile 6.1-inch iPhone 12, and the top-end 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro and the 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max. All of the new iPhones include Apple's latest A14 Bionic chipset, the new Super Retina XDR OLED display, and 5G connectivity. Their availability and pricing around the world, however, vary quite a bit. Here's how much the iPhone 12 models cost in different countries vis-à-vis their prices in India.
