In a few hours the new Apple event will begin and again online. We are getting used to them being in this format, and I have to say one thing, they come out better than live. On this occasion the event is aimed at the presentation of what will be the new star of the company: The iPhone 12. But it also seems that we will have some more surprises.
iPhone 12 at today's event. Various sizes and it won't come just according to rumors
For much of the year it has been rumored that Apple will delay the presentation of the company's flagship. So it has been and the iPhone, this year it will be presented if all goes well with delay due to the global pandemic. In previous events, various software innovations have been announced, some devices or other but the expectation is always maximum when it comes to the iPhone.
We are already on version XII. A model that a priori should not be too surprising because the rumors that have been launched during the past months, leave almost nothing to the imagination. Let's review what we can see in this event with almost total security:
How many iPhone 12 models will there be at today's event?
According to rumors, we will almost certainly see the presentation of a total of four models. We will have the two Pro (as before) and a Max model is added to the base model. The main difference between them would be the screen size and the terminal size in general. We would have a range from 5,4 inches to 6,7 inches. In this way, the range of new Apple phones would look like this:
- iPhone 12mini: 5,4-inch Super Retina XDR display (aluminum).
- iPhone 12: 6,1-inch Super Retina XDR display (aluminum).
- Pro iPhone 12: 6,1-inch Super Retina XDR display (steel).
- iPhone 12 Pro Max: 6,7-inch Super Retina XDR display (steel).
The big news from this afternoon's event: iPhone 12 mini and 5G
The big news will be the presentation of the iPhone 12 "mini" It is speculated that it will be more compact than the iPhone SE 2020 already presented but that it will have more screen than this one. The screen will be 5,4 inches and we can have it in black, white, red, blue and green. Same colors as iPhone 12. Pro models will come in gold, silver, graphite, and blue. Goodbye to the green introduced by the 11 Pro. Now we have blue as a novelty.
The other big news and probably the reason why this afternoon's event is called “Hi Speed” is by the 5G network that will include these new models. It is rumored that it will have it from the mini model to the Pro Max. A new network that will make connections and downloads over the telephone network outrageously fast. What happens is that in order to enjoy them we will have to wait for the state infrastructures to be ready.
Do we know the price of the new iPhone?
It is not officially known what the price of the new models will be. But as rumors have even come to solve this dilemma, we have some adventurers claim that the price range will go from 699 euros, up to 1.179 through 800 euros and 1.069 euros. Yes, you are reading well. It seems that Apple has decided to keep prices in relation to last year, has even lowered them a bit.
In fact, there are rumors that the starting price will be 849 euros. A price more in line with last year's and considering that they come with 5G. So it is more than likely that we will move at this starting price and increase to approximately 1.399.
New design for a new iPhone?
You are right. It seems that we will have a new design for this new Apple terminal. A design that reminds us of an Apple past that many think should return. We will have a more square phone. We return to the angles of the iPhone 5s.
The front is the one that could receive a long-awaited change: the reduction of the notch. Less thick and shorter. This new notch, or rather its recognition system, would be able to recognize faces at greater angles.
What about the cameras?
For now there is not much (supposed) information about sensors or lenses, although rumors point to the double and triple rear cameras as in the previous ones according to the level of the model. Improvements are said to focus on photography in low light conditions with noise reduction, better image stabilization and faster autofocus.
There is even talk that the new iPhone will incorporate LiDAR. Optical zoom increases, speaking of which the optical zoom will change to 3x and, there will be an improved hybrid zoom in terms of quality and detail. Something less commented but that could come is the optical stabilization at wide angle.
