Apple didn’t invent sapphire glass, it’s an actual thing. And the new ceramic glass was a collaboration between Apple and Corning. These are real products they are not fake or made up. They may not be what they are hyped up to be but they are not regular glass with a different name.

No. They only have phones with high end chipsets, of course they are overall way faster. High end Android devices are as fast as iPhones.

                                      If iPhone 12 remains to receive a score of 6/10 in iFixIt (highest for current flagship) then it's well compensated.
