And it’s not the iPhone 12 mini, contrary to what you expect

Apple is projected to take the wraps off the new-generation iPhone in just a few hours, with this year’s lineup to include four different models, as it follows:

  • 5.4-inch all-new iPhone 12 mini
  • 6.1-inch iPhone 12 (iPhone 11 successor)
  • 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro (iPhone 11 Pro Max successor)
  • 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max (iPhone 11 Pro Max successor)

Needless to say, many expect the iPhone 12 mini to be the best-selling model in the entire lineup, not only because it’s a new device that would appeal to those who want a standard-sized iPhone but also because of the price, as this is likely to be the most affordable model in the entire lineup.

According to people familiar with the matter, the iPhone 12 mini will be available from $699, while the iPhone 12 will start at $799. So theoretically, there’s a good chance there’ll be a $100 difference between the two, and yet, the 6.1-inch device is still likely to be the best-selling model anyway.

iPhone 12, the star of the show

That’s according to Apple, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says, as the Cupertino tech giant believes that the iPhone 12 will attract the most buyers thanks to its mix of features and affordable price.

On the other hand, there’s obviously a good chance that the iPhone 12 Pro Max won’t sell in high numbers, simply because it’ll be the most expensive version in the entire lineup. Rumor has it that the device will hit the shelves starting at $1,099, and despite coming with upgraded specs, it would be specifically aimed at those who want nothing more than the best of the best that Apple has to offer today.

Full information will be provided by Apple in just a few hours at the official iPhone 12 launch event.
