Every year, the much-anticipated next-generation iPhone sparks a lot of rumors and speculation, with many tipsters and analysts claiming they know what's in store for this year's iPhone launch. Apple has made a summary of the rumors, which may have information about how the iPhone 12 will look like as well as some other details.
When exactly will the iphone 12 be available?
Around September 10th, Apple usually holds its fall event to announce its most important products of the year. This tradition has been going on for eight years, and while other events are sometimes held within the 10-month period, this time is usually used to announce products such as computers.
This year, however, the outbreak of new coronary artery disease has made everything uncertain. On August 12, tipster Jon Prosser posted a message saying that Apple would break with tradition by announcing a refresh of the iPad product and unveiling the "Apple Watch Series 6" on September 7, the annual launch of the iPhone in ten months.
Another Twitter tipster, dubbed ihacktu, insists that the new iPhone will be launched on September 8, while the iPad Pro and Apple Silicon Macs (computers with Apple's own chips) will be launched on October 27, in a similar timeframe to previous years. It's also thought that Apple itself leaked the release dates. Prior to that, a video scheduled to begin at 1:15 p.m. ET on Sept. 10 did appear on Apple's YouTube channel before it was removed.
But Sina Digital doesn't think there will be any launch around September 10th. It's now the end of August, and Apple hasn't announced a time yet, which means there's a real chance it could be delayed by a few weeks, as it itself revealed at its earnings meeting.
When will the iPhone 12 be available?
The outbreak led to problems in Apple's supply chain, which many believe impacted the launch schedule for the new iPhone. Indeed, Apple leadership also mentioned a delay of several weeks during its earnings meeting, but there was no clear time frame.
As for when the new iPhones will go on sale, Prosser believes that, depending on the timing of the launch, Apple may release the new products in two phases, with the intermediate version of the iPhone 12 available for pre-order on October 19th, followed by the "Pro" version in November. -That's later than originally expected.
DigiTimes also released a two-phase report on August 3, but they believe that the two 6.1-inch models should be released first, followed by the 5.4-inch and 6.7-inch flagship versions. The report also says that shipments of all new products will be delayed by two to four weeks from previous times.
What are the iPhone 12 models and screen sizes?
Many news outlets have confirmed that the iPhone comes in four models, Pro and non-Pro versions. The "non-Pro" lineup will include the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Max, which come with 5.4-inch and 6.1-inch screens, respectively, while the "non-Pro" lineup will come with two models, the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, with 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screens.
One each for Pro and Non-Pro?
As with the current iPhone 11, it's clear that the two series will differ in several ways, the screen being one of them. While it's expected that the entire lineup will feature OLED displays, rumors are swirling that the Pro's screen will be a bit better, with "Super Retina XDR," 120 Hz dynamic refresh, and 10-bit color depth. In theory, this means that the Pro models will be able to display a larger range of colors than the non-Pro versions and have better HDR video results.
At the end of August, Jon Prosser's screenshots and videos showed that the ProMotion feature was included in the iPhone 12 Pro Max, which allows users to manually enable or disable the "High Refresh Rate" and "Adaptive Refresh Rate ".
A14 Chip Improvement
The release of new iPhone models usually includes the latest chips designed by Apple, and the iPhone 12 will follow in its footsteps. After the Bionic A13, Apple is likely to go with the "A14" name.
Earlier rumors suggested that Apple would use its chip partner TSMC's 5-nanometer process, while producing chips with a 6-nanometer process, with the former being more likely. In the second quarter of 2020, TSMC began mass production using the 5-nanometer process.
A14 chip memory parts
In July, a series of images posted on Twitter revealed traces of Apple's A14 chip (which is, in reality, just the RAM portion of the chip), providing no real details about the chip's performance other than showing the name at the top of the chip. The chip is dated '2016', referring to the 16th week of 2020, indicating that the chip went into production in April.
In August of this year, TSMC detailed the performance and power improvements of its 5nm manufacturing technology at its launch event. Relative to A13's N7 process, N5 claims to deliver 151 TP3T of performance improvement at the same energy consumption while maintaining the same level of performance, or 301 TP3T in increased power efficiency.
Foreign media EverythingApplePro and MaxWeinbach said in a video posted six months ago that the A14 will be three times larger than the A13's 850 billion transistor volume, at 15 billion.
Cameras and LIDAR systems
It's generally accepted that the camera system on the iPhone 12 is more similar to that offered on the iPhone 11, where the non-Pro lineup had two cameras and the Pro lineup had three.
For the iPhone 12, it will include a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and it will have more telephoto lenses compared to the iPhone 12 Pro series. This will all be made possible by the higher performance of the A14 software, as well as advances in photography.
In June, oil pipeline bloggers EverythingApplePro and Max Weinbach claimed that the rear camera could record 4 K footage at 120 fps and 240 fps frame rates, effectively increasing the resolution of slow-mo.
Japan 3D Printing Mold Website
Eight months ago, Jon Prosser posted a screenshot to support this feature, with settings text indicating that 4 K video can be recorded at 120 or 240 fps. It also mentions the "Enhanced Night Mode," "Ratio Function," "Deep Video," and "Advanced Noise Reduction The "Advanced Noise Reduction" toggle is also mentioned.
In March, renowned analyst Ming-Da Kuo said that the iPhone 12's set of cameras feature 7 P lenses instead of 6 P lenses. It is used to improve the optics of photos and videos.
Apple will reportedly take a cue from the iPad Pro concept and add a LiDAR LiDAR system to the iPhone Pro model. This LiDAR scanner is capable of generating depth maps that help the iPad generate more detailed images than the iPad.
In all likelihood, Apple plans to add some LiDAR additions to the iPhone with the potential to improve photo quality.The TrueDepth camera front array uses depth mapping as part of its portrait mode, while depth mapping can be used as an aid on the back.
The bangs are smaller
An early image released by bomber Ben Geskin in September 2019 shows an iPhone prototype with a row of TrueDepth deep-sensing lenses inside the top frame so that it wouldn't need to be re-slotted on the screen.Geskin's photo echoes a letter he wrote to Mig Chi Kuo in July, in which he said that the bangs would be reduced in size or disappear completely disappear.
Are the bangs smaller?
For four months, leaked "choco_bit" images on Twitter have shown that the vulnerability may be small, but it hasn't disappeared completely, and Jon Prosser's other photos from this month include a CAD drawing that also shows some small gaps in the CAD drawing.
But we're more than acknowledging that the gap in the bangs section is largely unchanged from the current version.
Does the iphone 12 have 5G connectivity?
Among the major changes to the iPhone 12 series set to be released this year, 5 G mobile networks are widely considered to be one of them.Apple has already signed a deal with Qualcomm to address its lack of 5 G chip capability, but the big question is how to implement 5 G on the new models.
Because there are currently two main technology standards for 5 G, sub-6Ghz and mmWave millimeter wave technology, the former has a large coverage area and strong coverage capability, with the latter's high-speed connectivity may be weak.
Qualcomm 5 G chip related
A year on. Analysts at JPMorgan say all models of 5 G systems support up to 6 GHz, but only the top version supports mmWave.
TrendForce believes that in order to offset the cost of the 5 G components, Apple may offer new models with fewer accessories to reduce costs. That's also the controversial news that Apple will do away with charging heads and headphones.
How does the iphone 12 look?
Most rumors say that Apple borrowed the design language of the iPad Pro for the iPhone 12 series.
For four months, Bloomberg sources have said a stiffer side instead of the current stainless steel side. It would echo the design of the iPhone 4 or 5.
It's probably the most talked about and the most visible change to the iPhone in recent years, and it's led outlets like Mac Otakara to create new models. Many third-party vendors have also shown off iPhone 12 cases ahead of time.
Other iPhone 12 Changes
The iphone 12 Pro series has a higher memory that can go up to 6 GB. the storage space for the non-professional version will also be increased by adding the 512 GB option on top of the 128 GB and 256 GB capacities.
It's been reported that Apple could ditch the Lightning port in favor of USB-C this year, though there's also talk that this could happen in 2021 instead of 2020, which is also the year we think USB-C will not be used.
Eventually, to help people use wireless charging properly, Apple may include magnets on the back of the body to help the iPhone attach to the charging position more easily, just like the Apple Watch does now.
How much is the iphone 12?
For the pricing of the new iPhones, the iPhone 12 is priced at $649 and $749 for the 128 GB and 256 GB variants, respectively, while the iPhone 12 Max is priced at $749 and $849, respectively.
For the Pro model, the iPhone 12 Pro is priced at $999 for 128 GB, $1,099 for 256 GB and $1,299 for 512 GB. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is said to be more expensive at $1099, $1199 and $1399, depending on capacity.
