Apple’s iPhone 12 Pro is its best design in years: renderings generated by multiple leaks
In an exclusive developer, Apple Insider iHacktu has revealed that the iPhone 12 lineup will not only launch on time, but will be the first iPhone flagship event in years. Additionally, Apple will use it as the first of a couple of launch events this year that will see new iPhones, iPads, early Apple Silicon Macs, AirPower, and the next generation of Apple Watch.
07/27 Update: following Apple itself accidental leak of iPhone 12Now we have the first parts leak showing the most exciting model in the new range. Collected by AppleInsider, the display module for the new entry-level 5.4-inch iPhone 12 has been released at Weibo. The images show the display connector and, more disappointingly, the same large notch seen in the iPhone X, XS, and 11 ranges. Apple was widely expected to reduce the size of the notch across the entire iPhone 12 line. Early leaks from the iPhone 12 to case makers have also shown the same large notch, but both the notch design and the camera design tend not to be shared with case makers because they do not affect its ability to present their cases. Evidence is mounting that the iPhone 12 line has a increasing number of defectsBut nothing is final until Tim Cook reveals them on stage.
07/28 Update: popular Japanese tech site Digitimes it has now confirmed the iHacktu leak, saying Apple will unveil the new iPhone 12 lineup in September. Interestingly, the Digitimes source also reveals that “pricing for Apple’s iPhone 5G phones … will play a key role in increasing buying momentum for iPhone and non-iPhone models in the end market in the second half. 2020 “. Price has already been a hot topic for the iPhone 12 range, with multiple reports saying that Apple will undermine its rivalsalthough maybe for less than expected previously. That said, price has never been the primary driver of iPhone (or any Apple device) sales, so seeing the company compete aggressively here could change the rules of the game. Especially in the much smaller one, new entry level iPhone 12.
Breaking this down, iHacktu reveals that Apple will celebrate the launch of iPhone 12 on September 8, only iPhone 7 (September 7) was released earlier since iPhone moved to a Q3 window almost a decade ago. Along with the new iPhones, insider information says Apple will announce the sixth-generation Apple Watch, a new entry-level iPad, and its long-awaited AirPower wireless charging platform.
Following this, iHacktu claims that Apple will hold a second hardware event on October 27, where it will launch new iPad Pros, Apple’s first silicon-based Macs (MacBook and MacBook Pro), and possibly even Apple Glass. The last of these sounds sounds over the top, but the fourth quarter of 2020 was a date previously revealed by Jon Prosser, arguably the most accurate Apple leak of the year.
Apple’s new iPhone 12 range will have the first release in years
However, back at iPhone Land, the real surprise is how Apple has managed to avoid not only a delay, but also accelerate the launch, considering the global manufacturing impact caused by the Coronavirus pandemic. However, what remains to be seen is how limited supply is in the weeks immediately following launch (a date yet to be confirmed) with earlier reports saying the units may be in short supply through November.
Either way, expect the iPhone 12 line to sell like hot cakes. Despite recent concerns about its display limitations and reduced battery capacity, the lineup will be Apple’s first iPhone 5G (in two variants), offering the biggest design change in three generations, offering four models with two new ones. all-new display sizes, camera Technology and prices lower than rival prices for the first time in iPhone history.
So now you can circle your calendar, it’s time to get really excited.
