updates till now.
iPhone 12 release date:
The iPhone 11 series made a debut at an Apple press event in September and was released on 20th
September 2019. So, it is more than likely that the new iPhone 12 will follow the same regimen and the
launch shall be scheduled in September 2020.
It is also possible that Apple could opt for an earlier launch this year if it does not wish to lose too
much ground to its rivals. Besides, the rival phone makers have already come out with 5G models.
However, that would be very unusual for Apple to do because it has a tendency of releasing its phone
every year around September.
Features and differences between iPhone 12 and iPhone 11:
It seems to be a premium mobile, judging by the iPhone 12 features list. While there remain subtle
differences between the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 11, there are plenty of similarities as well. It will
encompass a decent power backup. The camera is going to be amazing, the display is standard and there
have to be the premium iPhone features like waterproof and dustproof body and also wireless charging
system. However, limited storage might be an issue for some. Here is the iPhone 12 features’ list, so
you can check it out yourself.
Camera:
News is that iPhone 12 shall include a long-range 3D camera. Lead and confirmed by
various sources, it is to help iPhone 12 to actively map its surroundings, it to 15 ft. This is going
to be laser-based, very unlike the 25-50 cm range of the dot projector-based 3D mapping used in
Face ID on the front camera of current iPhones. A 3 D camera is expected to help with Portrait
mode besides helping with augmented reality (AR). Other than that, there shall a 12MP +
12MP+ 12MP rear lenses with Quad-LED True Tone Flash and also an image resolution of 4000 x
3000 pixels. The front camera would have a 12 MP lens with Retina Flash with the capability of
capturing bright and detailed pictures.
Design:
The design could be a very basic one, almost the same as that of the iPhone X/ XS or iPhone
11 Pro. There remains time to change, still it Apple is focused on making more of internal
advances in 2020.
Display:
More or less, the design would stay the same, but the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and the
12 Pro Max could have screen sizes with both bigger as well as smaller panels. The iPhone 12 is
expected to have a screen size of 6.1 inches, just like the iPhone 11. On the other hand, the iPhone 12
Pro could have a 5.4 inch, smaller than the 5.8 inches of iPhone 11 Pro and lastly, iPhone 12 Pro
Max shall have 6.7 inches, bigger than the 6.5 inches of iPhone 11 Max.
Additionally, it is expected from Apple to introduce new 120Hz ProMotion displays this year,
which is necessary to stay neck to neck with the rivals. Apple would also adopt the Y-OCTA
display technology for slimmer panels, of Samsung.
Biometrics: Face ID would not change as much except certain performance upgrades. Touch ID
shall make a return into the display as suggested by the leaks. When this is used in combination
with Face ID, the user receives a high level of security.
Performance:
This is to be the very first Apple series chip (A14) to be manufactured with a 5nm
a processor that would not only boost performance but also increase efficiency. The previous ones
(A12/ A13) were 7nm. The current move would increase Apple’s advantage over rivals.
Connectivity/ Network: A lot of discussions are there over the Lightning port being replaced by
USB-C. Apple is expected to shift the iPhone to a port less, wireless charging the only model in a few years. So, introducing USB-C for such a short time makes no sense.
Storage:
Apple’s iPhone 12 will arrive with a non-expandable storage capacity of 64 GB. This is
a limitation because the storage cannot be expanded any further.
Battery:
The Apple iPhone 12 shall have a Li-ion battery with a capacity of 3210mAh which will
provide plenty of usage time. It also features Fast Charging and Wireless Charging support for
faster refilling.
Besides, Apple shall introduce 5G across the entire iPhone 12 range. This will support both
mmWave and sub-6GHz bands.

primary camera of the iPhone 11. This might just be an affordable alternative many can look forward to.

up the game and taking the iPhone a notch higher with the launch of the iPhone 12. DigiTimes had reported

the next-generation A14 iPhone chipsets. These are to be the first chipsets to be manufactured with a
5nm processor, unlike A12 and A13 which were 7nm. This technical upgrade shall boost up
performance and be very efficient. Besides, this would be a plus point for Apple over its rivals who have
Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 865 flagship chipset for the Android mobiles which still use 7nm.
