This story is part of Apple event, our full coverage of the latest news from Apple headquarters.
Apple will broadcast a virtual event live on October 13 starting at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. BST), and all eyes are on the possibility of a new list of iPhones, rumored to be called iPhone 12, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max and 12 Mini. The company has historically launched new phones in September, but amidst the Covid-19 outbreak, suppliers in China were forced to turn off or mark operations. The tech giant confirmed there would be a delay on their flagship phones during the summer.
What do we know about the new phones? Will there be enough new features to justify the upgrade from iPhone 11? (Read how the iPhone 11 could compare to the iPhone 12 here.)

Camera
Apple usually comes out swinging every year with the cameras on its device. These new phones should be no different. For starters, Kang said there could be improvements to Deep Fusion and night mode photography.
Both the iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12 have dual rear cameras. Both phones potentially have wide and ultra-wide angles.
The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max get a bit better. These two phones are rumored to include triple rear cameras, telephoto lenses, lidar sensors for depth tracking, and 4x and 5x optical zoom, respectively.
