14 DAY TRIAL // Apple has finally confirmed that the new iPhone 12 generation would be announced this month, just as speculated earlier this year.
The event will take place on October 13, Apple revealed today, and will kick off at 10 a.m. PDT. Needless to say, it’ll happen exclusively online due to obvious reasons, and everybody out there will be able to watch it online on the official Apple website.
With a “Hi, Speed” tagline, the event is likely to be focused on the performance improvements that the iPhone 12 is going to bring. Needless to say, the devices will be powered by a new Apple Bionic chip, but the speed reference could also be related to the addition of 5G support on the entire iPhone 12 lineup.
Apple is expected to bring 5G to all iPhone models launching this year, though people familiar with the matter said the smallest model could only land with 4G speeds.
Four iPhones coming this year
Apple will unveil a lineup of four different iPhone models this year, and the smallest will be a 5.4-inch version that could be called iPhone 12 mini. This device will be entirely new in the iPhone lineup and is specifically supposed to appeal to those who previously owned an iPhone SE or an iPhone 8.
Then, the iPhone 11 successor will be called iPhone 12 and will come with a 6.1-inch OLED screen, while the upgraded iPhone 11 Pro will obviously land as iPhone 12 Pro. This time, however, the device will come with a larger screen, as Apple replaces the 5.8-inch display with a 6.1-inch OLED sibling.
The top-of-the-range will be the iPhone 12 Pro Max which will feature a 6.7-inch OLED panel and will obviously be the most expensive configuration launching this year.
