According to a Twitter informant, Apple will present 5G iPhone 12 series in September after all. Not only that, the informant expects Apple to hold a second event on October 27. If you’re able to physically organize the event (rather than virtually organize it), we might see the long-awaited first Apple Glass mixed reality headset. The informant has a Twitter identifier for iHacktu Pro (@ihacktu).
According to the latest rumors, Apple holds two events in the third quarter
On September 8, according to the tipster’s tweet, Apple will present the new iPhone models. While the tweet didn’t go into detail, we expect to see four models, including the 5.4-inch iPhone 12, 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Max, 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro, and 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max. The latest rumors say that all four models will support sub-6GHz and mmWave 5G signals, and “Pro” units may or may not have a 120Hz refresh rate depending on who you’re asking. All four will be powered by the 5nm Aion Bionic chipset that contains a whopping 15 billion transistors (compared to 8.5 billion on the A13 Bionic currently used). Standard iPhone models will contain 4 GB of memory, while “Pro” models have 6 GB of RAM. Storage will start at 128GB instead of 64GB.
Tipster reveals what might be Apple’s plan to hold two events during the third quarter
The camera module on iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Max must include wide and ultra wide cameras and a LiDAR depth sensor. IPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max will add a telephoto camera with a 3x optical zoom. The LiDAR depth sensor was first seen on iPad Pro 2020 models. It uses a time of flight system to calculate more accurate depth readings used for AR, portraits, and more. We could see Apple lose the battery capacity in the new models; instead, the company may be relying on the more energy-efficient 5nm process used to manufacture the A14 Bionic chipset to produce an improvement in battery life.
The informant says that also on September 8 we should see Apple introduces the Apple Watch Series 6. The major new addition to the watch could be the native sleep tracking app that many have been wanting. And on September 8, we could see AirPower finally being announced. The wireless charging pad was designed to charge an iPhone, Apple Watch, and the AirPods wireless charging case, all at the same time. Introduced on September 12, 2007, the project was canceled after 562 days, as Apple was reportedly having trouble getting the device to work as promised. Earlier this year, tipster Jon Prosser said that work on the accessory was restarted after other companies were able to produce what Apple couldn’t.
Also supposedly on board for the September 8 event is a new iPad Air. This slate is rumored to be equipped with a 10.8-inch screen and has been speculated about the model with either a Face ID version or an on-screen version of Touch ID. It will also be compatible with Apple’s Magic Keyboard that includes a trackpad.
The Sept. 8 event will be hosted online by Apple similar to this year’s WWDC Developer Conference. On the other hand, what we can see or not in the event of October 27 will determine if it is carried out online or in front of people who breathe live. Either way, a new iPad Pro is on the menu, according to the tweet. TF International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who already knows what the cafeteria in Cupertino will serve on August 14, 2025, has called for the presentation in the third quarter of a new 12.9-inch iPad Pro that will carry a mini-LED. 12.9-inch screen. This screen has a smaller LED backlight and offers many of the same advantages as OLED but without the possibility of burning the screen.
If the event is held with live people in the seats, Apple is supposed to present its first version of Apple Glass. This is said to be a mixed reality (AR / VR) headset that will be followed for years to come by an AR model similar to Google Glasses. If the event only airs online, the Apple Glass presentation will have to stay for another day.
