We already know a lot about the iPhone 12 range, including his reworked design. But now, new information has revealed that everyone was wrong about Apple’s most exciting iPhone 12 model.
In a great exclusive and very popular YouTuber, Filip Koroy (aka EverythingApplePro) has revealed that Apple is brand new (and surprisingly affordable) The 5.4-inch iPhone 12 will be much smaller than expected. And the result is a completely new, compact, and cutting-edge device that could well become the most popular smartphone this year.
“I mean we were completely wrong about the 5.4-inch size,” Koroy explains, referring to the renders he had built from previous leaks. “Ours was too big. Actually, looking at the size in reference to the other iPhone sizes, this is little. Imagine that design [above], fullscreen. This will be a ridiculously popular device. “
5/10 update: More details on the iPhone 12 design have been leaked thanks to another exclusive exclusive by Filip Koroy. In its new videoKoroy explains that Apple will limit the 120Hz ProMotion display to just the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max, which will be a bitter pill for some. That said, it has also confirmed that Apple will reduce the size of the notch this year, widen the Face ID angle to more easily unlock at angles, and increase battery capacity, with the iPhone 12 Pro Max jumping to “over 4,400 mAh. “(iPhone 11 Pro Max had a 3,969 mAh battery). Lastly, Koroy claims that the iPhone 12 lineup will get much better cameras thanks to larger sensors, a 3x optical zoom, and improved low-light performance (full camera details here) Given Apple’s plan to present aggressive new pricing2020 seems like a great year for the company to distance itself more from the competition.
09/05 Update: We now have a great additional piece of the puzzle for Apple’s iPhone 2020 plans after the Car Connectivity Consortium published its 2.0 specification for digital car keys. This is central to Apple’s leaked plans to launch CarKey on iOS 14, which will allow iPhone owners to open their cars with their phones. Additionally, the 3.0 specification will add Ultra Wideband support that Apple is incorporating into its flagship iPhones. Expect Apple to go big with the launch of the iPhone 12 line in September.
And how small is this? Koroy’s dimensions come from a Macotakara leak that was initially ruled out but has now been found to be credible and reveals that the 5.4-inch iPhone won’t be much bigger than the original 2016 (2016) iPhone SE and smaller than the new 4.7-inch 2020 Model:
- 5.4-inch iPhone 12: 131 x 64 mm (5.15 x 2.51 inches)
- 4-inch iPhone SE: 123 x 58 mm (4.84 x 2.28 inches)
- 4.7-inch iPhone SE: 138 x 67 mm (5.43 x 2.65 inches)
Yes, Apple is finally making a truly compact, bezel-less iPhone. Additionally, the bezel-less design incorporates a 19.5: 9 aspect ratio that is longer and slimmer than the 16: 9 ratio on iPhone SE models. This means that the 5.4-inch screen can still result in a narrower smartphone than the 4.7-inch iPhone SE.
Disadvantages? Like the entry-level iPhone 12, we know that the 5.4-inher will lose several features compared to the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, but they are unlikely to be a deciding factor for many. The biggest omissions are a 2x optical zoom (there will only be standard and ultra wide-angle cameras) and without LiDAR sensor – used for 3D mapping environments for AR applications.
On the other hand, the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 will have an OLED screen, a smaller notch, that of Apple. new ballistic chipset A14, 5G (not mmWave, but That is good) and have Apple lowest price in years. With rivals too forced to make big 5G giants, there will be nothing like this iPhone on the market.
For me, it is now the most exciting smartphone of 2020.
