14 DAY TRIAL // Apple will hold its typical September event in just a few hours, but the iPhone 12 isn’t ready for launch just yet, so the Apple Watch Series 6 will be the big star of the show.
Those who hoped to see the iPhone 12 on September 15 will have to wait a little bit more until October, albeit there’s a chance that the actual sales would start even later.
Apple will launch a lineup of four different iPhone models this year, and according to Ming-Chi Kuo of TF Securities, one of them will come with a smaller notch.
It’s the 5.4-inch iPhone 12, which is now the smallest device in the entire series. Oddly enough, Apple isn’t making the notch smaller on the rest of the iPhones launching this year, and this makes some wonder how come only the 5.4-inch version is getting this highly-anticipated change.
The iPhone 12 lineup
On the other hand, all iPhones launching this year will come with 5G support.
Apple’s new lineup will include the said 5.4-inch iPhone, two different 6.1-inch versions (a successor to the iPhone 11 and an upgraded iPhone 11 Pro model), and a 6.7-inch iPhone that will replace the Pro Max.
Rumor has it that Apple is also preparing a 4G iPhone that will launch in the spring of 2021, obviously at a lower price. This model would be specifically aimed at markets where 5G support isn’t available.
Full details about the new iPhone lineup will be shared during the upcoming October event, albeit there’s a chance the Cupertino-based tech giant would remain silent on the non-5G model until it’s ready for launch. In the meantime, you should take everything with a healthy pinch of salt, especially because the info comes through unofficial channels.
