Apple fans are waiting for the iPhone 12. But of all things, your favorite device could be delayed twice. The latest generation of Apple’s phone has been presented in September for years, but this year everything could be different thanks to Corona.
The fact is that the boss of Apple, Tim Cook (59), has invited to the big conference today; VIEW will, of course, report live starting at 7pm Swiss time. But what the Apple boss will actually present at the virtual event is still not entirely clear. Experts are confident that the Apple Watch and iPads will receive a significant update.
But what about the iPhone 12? Opinions differ a lot here.
The date speaks for a presentation tonight. Traditionally, new iPhones are announced in September. And Apple generally has long-term plans for such product announcements and rarely deviates from them. Another argument in favor of a presentation tonight is that Apple definitely has to do a product presentation this year. Because the first Mac with its own processors will also be presented in 2020, and that is also very important for the American manufacturer. So if iPhones don’t arrive today, there will probably be two more keynotes by the end of the year. And that’s a lot.
It’s also unclear how severe the iPhone production delays are due to the corona virus. Clear and also tinged by Apple – iPhones aren’t all available in October, there will definitely be delivery delays. Experts hope that the 5G versions, for example, won’t appear until around Christmas. That already existed in Apple’s history: the iPhone X, for example, was announced in September 2017, but it didn’t hit stores until November.
The iPhone 12 is available in four versions and with 5G
Not only the obvious influences of the Corona year speak against tonight’s performance, but also the invitation. The slogan for the keynote is “Time Flies,” which is more suited to the Apple Watch than the iPhone. Also, experts with good connections with Apple like Mark Gurman of Bloomberg say very clearly: today there is no iPhone.
Apple fans can definitely look forward to this, because there will be four different iPhone models. They all have a new design that is angular and flat and reminiscent of older models like the iPhone 4 but also the new iPad Pro. The Pro models also get 5G and a lidar sensor. It helps with depth measurement, which improves photos, but also augmented reality applications.
While the Pro versions tend to be larger at 6.1 and 6.7 inches, the regular iPhone 12 is now available in two sizes as well. In addition to the already known 6.1 inches, there is also a smaller version with 5.4 inches. That should please all those looking for a cheap and not too big smartphone that still has the best technology installed. By the way, the regular iPhone 12 should receive a surprising quality upgrade, especially in terms of display.
This is expected with Apple Watch and iPads.
It’s been a long time since there was so much open and so little known in an Apple speech, which is what makes it all exciting. It is clear that Tim Cook will introduce a new watch and a new iPad. The Apple Watch Series 6 can now determine the oxygen content in the blood. Additionally, the manufacturer will announce an entry-level budget version to the world of the Apple Watch.
The iPad Air 4 is new to the iPad Pro design, also more angular and with significantly thinner edges around the screen. The Air retains the fingerprint scanner, but for reasons of space it is moved to the side. The power button also serves as a Touch ID surface. Also, the Air has the latest processor and perhaps it can even be connected to the accessories of the Pro, such as the magic keyboard.
