Apple is about to launch the new iPhone 12, and that's why we've gathered all the information available to present to you today. This is the iPhone 12 for 2020.
Although Apple hasn't sent out invitations to the official launch yet - the new iPhone 12 - it's very likely that we're only a few weeks away from it. This year is very special for the new year iPhone 12 means the internet is abuzz with rumors surrounding one of the most highly regarded and highly anticipated tech premieres of the year. Although Apple has been very good at hiding details in the past, it appears that it has in 2020 everything is different.
The main innovation will be a significantly modified design 12th generation, which returns to the past. If you were in love with iPhone 4, you will especially like this year's phone, as it somehow returns to the "robot" design. It is also quite clear that it will be new iPhone supported high-speed data transfer technology 5G.
On the other hand, there are still many unknowns associated with the new iPhone 12. And although we haven't had the same amount of information leaked to us as we had before the release Samsung Galaxy or Google Pixel, we still have enough details to put together a pretty good picture of exactly what Apple is planning this year. Above all, it is clear to us that the number of new smartphones is a record, as this year Apple is expected to present as many as four new models.
Four iPhones and three screen sizes

Almost all reliable sources agree on the size of the new generation iPhone 12 phones. In all combinations, we get as many as 4 different smartphones. Namely:
- the smallest 5.4-inch model, smaller than this year's iPhone 11 Pro, which has a diagonal of 5.8 inches,
- A 6.1-inch model that's the same size as the iPhone 11 and iPhone XR, but with similar specs to the 5.4-inch iPhone 12,
- A 6.1-inch device with better hardware features,
- the largest 6.7-inch Pro Max model (larger than last year's 6.5-inch model).
Information about the new sizes came from analyst Ming-Chi Ku, who has been successfully predicting sizes for several years new iPhones. According to Ku, the Wall Street Journal joined this claim, and soon after, another one joined them Bloomberg. So it is a relatively confirmed story from several sources, but it may still contain what a surprise.
New industrial design - iPhone 12
Apple has always been known for making small, sometimes almost microscopic, movements in the design of his devices. For the last 6 years, the school of rounded rectangles has been at the fore, and that's all since the smartphone iPhone 6, which was released six years ago. In the year 2020 however, the iPhone is going back to the old design school following the guidelines of the iPhone 4, iPhone 5 and the good old iPhone SE.
This summer, a number of "insiders" reported that they had obtained so-called "mock-ups" of the devices, which should give a very good insight into what Apple is preparing for this year's 12th generation, the iPhone 12.
Online media Bloomberg also claims that they will have new ones iPhones stainless steel rectangular edges, and in cheaper ones this material will be replaced by aluminum.
The most compelling is the most popular tech vlogger MKBHD, which in its role shows a very, very convincing version of the iPhone 12 model. One that all fans of this brand would sign up for
OLED for iPhone 12
If rumors are to be believed, all this year's models are equipped with a screen OLED. Remember, last year's offer included one device with an LCD screen and two with OLED, while this year, according to Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal all models iPhone 12 had OLED-screen.
The question that remains is, if this prediction comes true, what kind of screen will it be? For 60 Hz or 120 Hz? If Apple will release a new iPhone with a display 120 Hz, don't be surprised if they call it 'ProMotion'. Namely, this is the display brand that Apple uses for iPad Pro, which has had this faster screen refresh since "way back" in 2017.
There will be no fourth camera! LIDAR is coming instead
This year's iPhone 12 has a dual-camera module, while the more expensive Pro models will have a triple lens. If Bloomberg is to be believed, as well as a LIDAR sensor that can detect objects with a laser. This technology could theoretically improve the experience of augmented reality, as the phone will be able to better perceive the three-dimensional environment with its help.
Nothing from chargers or headphones
Apple could deliver its smartphones to customers this year without chargers and headphones, if experts are to be believed. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that Apple should with the new iPhone tried to reduce the amount of electronic waste, since the company is said to believe that everyone who buys an iPhone already has an old charger, which means that the new one is usually put in the drawer. The downside of the story may be reflected in the sales of older models. If you already have an iPhone and you buy a new one, but you want to sell the old one, you will also have to sell the charger that you would in principle use for the new one, which means that you can be left without a charger.
Instead of a charger, the company is said to offer a new plug that will allow the smartphone to charge smoothly from various sources, such as a computer or an adapter that uses USB-C. Thus, Apple should finally conquer the standard that all Android phones have been conquering in recent years.
Apple should also start selling new ones 20-watt fast charger, which will charge phones faster than the 18-watt charger that came with it to the iPhone 11 Pro, and much faster than a power charger 5 W, which came in a box with weaker models.
Hardware upgrades
This year's the new iPhone 12 will have a new processor, which according to Bloomberg “a major upgrade and specifically tailored for AI and augmented reality tasks”. It will most likely have the new A14 processor.
Smartphones will be available later than expected!
Apple has already pointed out that the new iPhone will be delayed by several weeks, and Bloomberg claims that the cheaper models will be released first, followed by the more expensive models. At the same time, the long-awaited will be released iOS 14.
And the price?
Apple still maintains version s 64 GB for the cheaper models, while the more expensive ones will start at 128 GB. Cheaper new ones iPhone 12 should have 4 GB of RAM, more expensive models 6 GB. Despite the fact that Apple will save with cheaper packaging and that there may not be chargers in the "package", we doubt that the price of the iPhone 12 will be lower than last year's. So we expect a very comparable situation to the one we have this year.
