Apple sells a new protective shell for the new generation of iPhone 12 which has a particularity: it indicates the time. However, you will only see the time in a certain situation, so the case does not offer any additional benefits.
The case reveals an area of the screen where you can see the time on the lock screen, meaning the time can be read anytime, even with a cover on the device screen.

The answer is that it’s for iPhone 12 owners who don’t have an Apple Watch on their wrist and want to see the time (and don’t worry about needing to lift the device to do so. ) in addition to protecting their screen.
If you have an Apple Watch and therefore you can check the time on your wrist at any time, you won’t need a case like this, or at least it wouldn’t have the most. meaningless.
