According to Apple’s official news, Apple will hold its second fall special event at 1:00 am Beijing time on October 14 with the theme “Hello, speed.” It is expected to launch the iPhone 12 series mobile phones and others. products at that time.
In fact, before the official launch, the configuration and other information of the iPhone 12 series has been almost exposed, including the actual hands-on video of the iPhone 12.
The real iPhone 12 is exposed, returning to the classic design of the iPhone 4
On August 25, Jon Prosser said on Twitter that he had a video about the iPhone 12 Pro Max (6.7 inches), but this phone was a PVT version.
PVT, the full name of the Pilot Execution Verification Test, is also a small batch process verification test, mainly verifying the performance of the functions of the new model and conducting stability and reliability tests. Leifeng.com learned that After the test ends and passes, the models will be sold directly to consumers.
So this is probably the product form that users can get.
In the video exposed by Jon Prosser, two screenshots of system settings are involved, one of which is about “camera”, showing the option “Enable LiDAR AC”, which means that the iPhone 12 Pro Max will be equipped with LiDAR lidar.
Based on this figure, the LIDAR will help the camera to focus automatically and will also be useful for object recognition in night scene and video modes.
At the same time, the figure also shows other iPhone 12 Pro Max camera features such as Advanced Noise Reduction, Enhanced Night Mode, Bit Depth Video, etc.
Another screenshot is about the display settings. It has the option “Enable High Refresh Rate”, which means it has a high refresh rate of 120Hz, and the refresh rate can be dynamically changed between 120Hz and 60Hz.
In short, these two images confirm the previous news about the iPhone 12 Pro series: it has a high refresh rate and is equipped with a LiDAR radar sensor.
In subsequent reveals, Jon Prosser also announced more information about the iPhone 12 Pro, including the “fringe” size, narrower bezels, larger screens, and more powerful Face ID (which can be unlocked from more angles, even if laid flat. on the table), right-angle design frame; A small tribute to the iPhone 4, but the edge of the display glass is still curved.
And these once again confirmed the previous exposure information.
In the known revelations, the iPhone 12 series will include 3 sizes and 4 models in total, which are divided into two categories, namely the Standard series and the Pro series. Among them:
In appearance, the front of the iPhone 12 series will adopt the notch design, and the frame design will return to the sturdy right-angle style similar to that of the iPhone 4, but the glass edges still have a curvature; the back is still a Yuba-style camera bump and centered Apple logo.
Furthermore, iHacktu Pro broke the news that the body materials of the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max will use brushed metal and aerospace aluminum, which are expected to be of better quality than last year’s iPhone 11 Pro.
5G is coming, but the battery is getting low
In addition to the appearance information being exhausted, there are also a lot of performance spoilers.
In terms of function, the iPhone 12 series will be equipped with the latest A14 series chips, and Face ID will also be updated to use an OLED screen … Among them, the Pro version has a LiDAR radar sensor and a LCD screen. high refresh rate.
At the first fall conference, the A14 series chips were on display first and mounted on the iPad Pro.
According to the press conference, A14 is the world’s first chip designed based on 5nm process technology. The number of transistors has increased from 8.5 billion A13s to 11.8 billion. The new 16-core architecture can provide up to 11 caps of computing power.
It is worth mentioning that according to AnandTech speculation, A14 is only 16% and 8% higher than A13 on the CPU / GPU part, while A13 is about 20% higher than A12; it can be seen that the improvement of A14 is slightly conservative.
It is reported that Apple’s measure may be to take into account the battery life of the iPhone 5G, but this claim will not be confirmed until the iPhone 12 is released.
In terms of communications, although different sources and analysts have different opinions, in the opinion of Leifeng.com, it is relatively reliable: the iPhone 12 series that will be launched this year will have all 5G functions, and Apple may also A 4G version of the iPhone 12 will be will launch in 2021.
It’s worth mentioning that these 5G-capable iPhone 12s are equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 baseband.
However, with the advent of 5G, the battery of the iPhone 12 series has been seriously reduced.
According to information leaked by SafetyKorea, the South Korean certification body, the battery capacities of the four new Apple iPhone 12s are: the iPhone 12 has 2227 mAh (almost 30% less than the iPhone 11), the iPhone 12 Max is 2775 mAh and iPhone 12 Pro is 2815 mAh. , The iPhone 12 Pro Max is 3687mAh.
At the same time, according to Guo Mingchi, a well-known analyst who has been following Apple for a long time, the average unit price of iPhone 12 series battery panels is 40-50% lower than that of iPhone 11 series. .
According to Guo Mingchi, reducing the battery specifications is to offset the increased cost of 5G components. The two 5G components used in the iPhone 12 series, Sub-6 and mmWave, are reported to cost $ 75 to $ 85 and $ 125 to $ 135, respectively.
Plus, there’s also news that Apple’s other method of cutting costs is to stop including a random charger and EarPods for wired headphones.

According to the iPhone 12 packaging box exposed by whistleblower Ran Avni, there is almost no room for other accessories besides the location of the mobile phone and data cable.
This claim is also confirmed in the predictions of Guo Mingchi, who also said that Android makers could mimic Apple’s cancellation of the included charger.
As for the price, according to the information exposed by @Komika on Twitter, the default storage space of the iPhone 12 series starts at 128GB, with a maximum of 512GB, a starting price of US $ 699 and a maximum price of US $ 1,399 .
Converted to RMB, the price range is approximately 4,820 yuan to 9,648 yuan.
Of course, after the iPhone 12 series is listed on the Chinese market, if taxes are included, the iPhone 11 series’ pricing strategy may continue, and the starting price is likely to remain at 5499 yuan.
