The network has a description of four possible models of iPhone 12. There is even information about the release date of the new smartphone from Apple – though very approximate. We figure out what the new iPhone will be and what rumors about it can be believed.
It is not yet clear when the iPhone 12 will be unveiled and when Apple will launch a new smartphone of the popular series. However, when it comes to numerous leaks of information about the new Apple device, which continue to circulate on the Internet for several weeks, it becomes clear that users still know more than the company would like.
Among the new leaks is information from the Display Supply Chain website, whose creators, according to their own statement, were able to verify some rumors or correct them using their own sources. From this body of information, we have compiled an overview of the technical specifications of all four planned iPhone 12 models, which we will discuss below.
Features of the new iPhone 12 line
| Model | iPhone 12 | iPhone 12 Max | iPhone 12 Pro | iPhone 12 Pro Max |
| Display diagonal | 5.42 “ | 6.06 “ | 6.06 ” | 6.67 ” |
| Resolution | 2348×1084 | 2540×1174 | 2540×1174 | 2785×1293 |
| Aspect ratio | 19.5: 9 | 19.5: 9 | 19.5: 9 | 19.4: 9 |
| PPI | 476 | 460 | 460 | 459 |
| Display manufacturer | Samsung | BOE / LG | Samsung | Samsung |
| Color depth | 8 bit | 8 bit | 10 bit | 10 bit |
| Main camera | Dual (up to 64 MP) | Dual (up to 64 MP) | Dual (up to 64 MP) + Lidar sensor | Dual (up to 64 MP) + Lidar sensor |
| Front-camera | 12 megapixels | 12 megapixels | 12 megapixels | 12 megapixels |
| 5G technology | Sub 6 GHz | Sub 6 GHz | Sub 6 GHz, mmWave | Sub 6 GHz, mmWave |
| CPU | A14 Bionic | A14 Bionic | A14 Bionic | A14 Bionic |
| Working memory | 4 GB | 4 GB | 6 GB | 6 GB |
| Memory size | 128/256 GB | 128/256 GB | 128/256/512 GB | 128/256/512 GB |
| Price | 649 $ / 749 $ | $ 749 / $ 849 | from $ 999 to $ 1299 | from $ 1099 to $ 1399 |
Overall, the specs look believable. The presence of the new A14 Bionic processor is a logical pattern rather than super-secret information. Last year, and before that, Apple also released smartphones on updated platforms. Increasing RAM is also an obvious solution, since new hardware and programs are blowing more RAM. The same can be said about 5G: Samsung and Chinese flagships already have support for the new standard, so it’s time for Apple to catch up.
Another thing is that little is known about the characteristics of the cameras – and the possible equipping of new iPhones with sensors with a resolution of 64 megapixels looks promising. Unlike competitors, Apple has never chased at megapixels and equipped its devices with 12 megapixel cameras. Well, let’s see how everything will actually be.
But about prices, we do not advise “flattering”. Even if the insider information is correct, and the base iPhone 12 with 128 GB of memory will cost $ 649 – these numbers will only be seen by residents of the United States and other foreign countries. In Russia and the CIS, prices for iPhones are always slightly higher. But today for $ 649 (about 45,000 rubles) you can buy an iPhone Xr with 64 GB of storage.
iPhone 12 may come out in October 2020
In addition to the iPhone 12 specs described above, DisplaySupplyChain also reports that Apple’s new smartphone is about six weeks behind its estimated production schedule. It is claimed that the iPhone 12 was supposed to be launched on the conveyor in early June 2020, but in fact it will only happen somewhere in the middle or even at the end of July. If this is true, then the release of the iPhone 12 may also be shifted to a later date. Perhaps the release will take place in October this year. It is difficult to say how correct this information is, but all the authors of the “information leaks” report similar information about the new models of the iPhone 12. Either they “write off” each other, or really know something. The most important thing that can be assumed from their materials is that all models will differ from each other, primarily in size, camera equipment and display quality. However – like the devices of the previous line of iPhone 11 .
