14 DAY TRIAL // Apple is projected to take the wraps off the iPhone 12 in just a few days, and just as expected, more information on the new models leaked through unofficial channels.
A post on Weibo provides us with a closer look at the new iPhone lineup, and as rumored before, there are four different devices that will go live this year.
First and foremost, it’s the iPhone 12 mini with a 5.4-inch display.
This will be the smallest iPhone in the 2020 lineup, and the device will be specifically aimed at those who aren’t necessarily big fans of large screens but still want a new-generation model.
This iPhone 12 mini will come with a dual-camera configuration, which consists of a standard lens and an ultra-wide option. The color options on these small models will include white, black, red, blue, and green, while in terms of storage, users will be allowed to choose between 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB.
Pricing for the iPhone 12 mini will start at $699, and the pre-order program will kick off on November 6, while the first units will start shipping on November 13.
Next in line is the iPhone 12 with a 6.1-inch display.
A successor to the iPhone 11, this device will be available in the same color and storage versions as the iPhone 12 mini. It will also feature a similar camera setup.
Pricing this time will begin at $799, and Apple will start taking pre-orders on October 16, the same week when the company will officially announce the device. The shipping will kick off a week later, as usual.
The iPhone 12 Pro with a 6.1-inch display is getting several upgrades over the previous models.
A replacement for the iPhone 11 Pro, the iPhone 12 Pro will feature a triple-camera configuration with standard, ultra-wide, and telephoto lenses with LiDAR. The device will sport 4x optical zoom and 52mm focal length, according to the leak.
In terms of storage, customers will be allowed to choose between 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB, while for colors, Apple will offer four different options, namely gold, silver, graphite, and blue. Pricing for this model will start at $999.
Pre-orders will go live on October 16, with shipping to kick off a week later.
And finally, it’s the iPhone 12 Pro Max with a 6.7-inch display.
Available in the same colors and with the same storage options as the iPhone 12 Pro, the Max version will actually feature a better camera, as it’ll boast a 65mm focal length and 5x optical zoom.
Needless to say, this device will be the best of the best in the Apple lineup, so it’ll also be the most expensive. Pricing for the iPhone 12 Pro Max will start at $1,099 and will increase as you add more storage.
This time, the iPhone 12 Pro Max will go on sale at a later time, with the pre-order program to launch on November 13, while shipping will start on November 20.
All iPhone 12 models will feature 5G support, but it looks like Apple has developed a special system that makes it possible to use such capabilities only when they are required, as otherwise, the iPhones will stick with 4G for improved battery life.
Dolby Vision video recording will also be available on all iPhones, so will be Super Retina XDR displays with Ceramic Shield front covers for extra durability.
Apple is projected to take the wraps off the new iPhones at a digital event next week, so it won’t be long until we figure out if this new leak was accurate or not.
