Apple iPhone 12 series price and specs released

 

Apple iPhone 12 series will launch on Oct 13: LEAKED EVERYTHING**

Apple has released the press invites for its big iPhone event titled, ‘Hi, Speed’. It will be an online event broadcasted through apple.com and the company’s Youtube channel on October 13 at 10.30 pm IST. In this, you can expect the announcement of multiple iPhone models and some accessories.

LEAKS

This time around, the rumors suggest four models:
• A new 5.4-inch model, that could be called iPhone 12 Mini
• A low-end 6.1-inch sequel to the iPhone 11 with low-end specs as the 5.4-inch variant. This will likely be the standard iPhone 12.
• Another 6.1-inch iPhone with high-end specs, and could be called iPhone 12 Pro.
• A bigger 6.7-inch edition which would be the top-end iPhone 12 Pro Max.

The new iPhones are said to sport squared-off edges and flat screens, like the recent iPads or iPhone 4 from back in the day. There’ll be no 120Hz display though, claims lead Apple analyst Mr. Ming Chi Kuo.

He also said earlier this year, that the upcoming iPhones will finally support mmWave 5G. However, some other reports portend only the top-level model will get the faster mmWave while the rest of the iPhones will stick to sub-6 GHz.

Among other things, you could also look out for A14 Bionic and OLED panel throughout the lineup, as well as LIDAR sensor (for advanced AR applications) on the two higher-end variants.

Also, the new iPhone boxes will probably be smaller since there will be no earphones and charger inside. The justification would be to ‘reduce e-waste’. This is going to annoy several buyers, especially those who are first-timers and don’t have an iPhone adapter lying around in their home. For what its worth, there’s a chance that a Lightning to USB-C converter will be supplied in the box. Meanwhile, there have been leaks of the 20W charger that would be sold separately.

iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Max

Starting with the 5.4-inch iPhone 12, Komiya says it features a Samsung OLED display, an A14 processor, 4GB of RAM and 12MP wide and ultra-wide cameras. The iPhone 12’s price is said to be $699 for the 128GB model and 256GB for the $799 model. 

The leaker doesn’t say why the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 has a smaller notch and the other models don’t, so we're a bit skeptical of this leak. Regardless, expect an aluminum body.

Moving up to the iPhone 12 Max, it sports a 6.1-inch OLED display (made by LG or Samsung) and all the same specs as the 5.4-inch model. But Komiya says the larger screen will carry a $100 premium, so you would be looking at $799 for the 128GB version and $899 for 256GB.

iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max

The 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro should have several upgrades over the iPhone 12 Max, including a Super Retina XDR display with 10-bit color depth, 6GB of ram and a telephoto camera paired with a LiDAR scanner. Based on previous leaks, the LiDAR scanner should help improve camera performance as well as augmented reality experiences.

Similar to previous Pro models, the iPhone 12 Pro should have a stainless steel body but alas the same size notch as before if this leak proves true. 

Prices for the iPhone 12 would start at $999 for 128GB and go all the way up to $1,299 for 512GB.

Last but not least, the iPhone 12 Pro Max would share all the same specs as the iPhone 12 Pro but boast a larger 6.7-inch display. The leaked prices range from $1,099 for 128GB and $1,199 for 256GB to $1,399 for 512GB.
