“The iPhone 12 now comes in purple. Tim Cook made the announcement himself at Tuesday’s Apple’s spring event.

“Until now, the iPhone 12 and 12 Mini were available in black, white, blue, green and red (part of Product Red). The iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max come in graphite, gold, silver and blue finishes.

“A video showing off the purple iPhone included The Candy Man, the song from the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Cook said the new purple color is meant to evoke spring. The announcement came along with new iMacs, an updated Apple TV, AirTags and an iPad Pro.

“The purple iPhone 12 goes on presale April 23 and will be available on April 30. Prices start at $829 (£799, AU$1,350) for the iPhone 12 or $799 if you activate it on a carrier when you buy it.
