Apple launches a surprise new iphone 12 colour

Purple is the new hotness. Michael Simon reports

We weren’t expecting any iphone news at the Spring Loaded event, but Apple threw us a bit of a curveball. Instead of a new model, we got a new colour: purple. Apple previously introduced a purple colour with the iphone 11 and now it’s bringing a similar shade to the iphone 12 and 12 mini (sorry Pro fans). Like the other iphone 12 colours, the aluminium sides match the back of the device. The rest of the iphone is the same as the current model.
