It’s official! Apple will hold its next event on October 13. Here’s how watch Tuesday’s virtual event live. This event should be all about the new iPhone, which Rumors say it will be called the iPhone 12.. With the event only a day away, we are firmly in the “don’t buy a new iPhone unless absolutely necessary” zone. A massive new leak At the end of last week, he only hinted at possible prices for the iPhone 12 lineup, which could sway his opinion as well.
Apple usually announces new iPhones in early September. And while the company definitely held an event last month, it was to announce the Apple watch 6 Y I KNOW as well as the new iPad and iPad Air. The October event will likely launch the iPhone 12 and its siblings, including a iPhone 12 Mini.

Even if you don’t intend to buy an iPhone 12, it is a good idea to delay buying a new iPhone. The new iPhones mean there will be discounts and clearance prices on older models, and if you sync it right, you could get a good deal.
IPhone 12 prices will be cheaper, more expensive, exactly the same
Four new iPhone models are expected. Like the iPhone 11 generation, there will likely be an iPhone 12, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max alongside a smaller phone called the iPhone 12 Mini. The prices of the new iPhones are expected to stay the same, be more expensive and cheaper. It sounds confusing, but let me explain.
Currently the base iPhone 11 costs $ 699, base 11 Pro costs $ 999 and the base 11 Pro Max it costs $ 1,099. The new iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max are likely to stay exactly the same price as their previous iPhone 11 counterparts. Which means if you were intending to buy an 11 Pro or 11 Pro Max, in about a week, you should to be able to buy an iPhone 12 Pro or 12 Pro Max for exactly the same price.

The iPhone 12 Mini is expected to cost $ 649 (that’s $ 50 cheaper than the iPhone 11) and the iPhone 12 is likely to be priced at $ 749 (that’s $ 50 more than the 11). These prices, however, are not entirely backed up by the latest leak.

iPhone 11 should drop in price
For years, Apple has kept the previous year’s models and sold them at a discount. You can currently get the 2018 iPhone XR for $ 599. After the iPhone 12 event, there is a good chance that Apple will keep the iPhone 11 and lower its price to $ 599.
As for the iPhone 11 Pro, it is more difficult to know whether Apple will continue to sell it or the iPhone 11 Pro Max after the new iPhones are announced. When the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro were announced last year, the company stopped selling the iPhone XS. ($ 385 at Back Market) or XS Max ($ 624 at Back Market).
‘But I just bought a new iPhone’ or ‘I need to buy a new iPhone now’
There is absolutely nothing wrong with buying a new iPhone right now. If you have a broken phone and need a new one, don’t wait for Apple to announce new iPhones. Said that Apple’s typical return window is 14 days. Typically (this is not always the case) Apple extends that return period to 30 days when a new product / updated product is announced. That is, if you just bought an iPhone 11 for $ 699 and Apple starts selling them for $ 599, you can either get that $ 100 back or return the phone outright. Please note that if you have opened a new line with a provider and are returning a phone, you will need to consult with them about canceling the new line.
Also, if you purchased your iPhone through a non-Apple carrier or retail store, find out what their return policies are.
The iPhone SE is the exception
Earlier this year, Apple announced the $ 399 iPhone SE. And it’s highly unlikely that Apple will announce a new iPhone SE next week. That said, if you buy an iPhone SE directly from Apple and a new version is announced, you’re still in that 14-day return window and you should be fine.
