News & Reviews:   iPhone 12

Apple has just announced the new iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro along with the new iOS 14 last week. Today, a well-known analyst Guo MingHao suggests that Apple will cancel the charger to reduce the costs for the new iPhone 12 and also iPhone SE.

2021 is still a long way to go but it seems that Mac Otakara, an Apple news website from Japan has done a new mock-up product of the 2021 iPhone already. While information is scarce, we just learn that the 2021 iPhone could possibly be notchless with an in-display front camera and features a USB-C port for the first time as well.

Based on a video by EverythingApplePro, there is a possibility that the upcoming iPhone 12 series could come equipped with a 120Hz refresh rate display. While not much is known in regards to the aforementioned smartphone, we do know that the 120Hz display feature will most likely be available only on the Pro, as well as the Pro Max variant.

Back in March, sources claimed that the Apple iPhone 12 series this year will have two variants with LIDAR scanner. From that, it can be assumed that Apple's next flagship smartphone series could come with at least three variants this year. But it looks like there's going to be a total of four variants if a new leak is to be believed.

The disruption to events and product launches has been rampant during this COVID-19 pandemic. But Apple's upcoming 5G iPhones might not be delayed after all with Foxconn reassuring investors that things should be on schedule. From the hints, it's believed that the iPhone 12 series can still make it for the usual September launch.

Although many companies are said to be facing production issues due to coronavirus, it seems that at least Apple has one thing going right for it. Reports say that TSMC is set to begin mass production of the Apple A14 chipset in April 2020. This means that the chipsets are on schedule and would make it for the launch of the iPhone 12 series later this year.

The iPhone 12 is still a ways to go but it seems Apple may have plans to experiment using some new tech. Sources claim that the iPhone 12 may come with support for the new wireless-AY (802.11ay) standard, despite the fact that it wouldn't be ready till the end of 2020.

An Apple iPhone without any ports? How does that work? While this is not official, but having to read this from reputable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo does intrigue us. According to this new research notes for the 2021 iPhone lineup, Apple could potentially not install any ports at all and will rely on a wireless experience.

Since last year, the previous iPhones models were rumored to be using the OLED Display from Samsung but it didn't happen. Today, it was reported that Samsung has finally succeeded in becoming the exclusive OLED supplier for the company!

Based on a statement by Barclays analyst Blayne Curtis, next year’s iPhone 12 Pro as well as the Pro Max variant will most likely come with 6GB of RAM. This is quite an increase, compared to the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max which only comes with 4GB of RAM. Not only that, but it the iPhone 12 Pro variants might have a rear-facing 3D sensor, 5G connectivity with support for mmWave and more. On a side note, it seems that the iPhone SE 2 might start production on February 2020 as well.
