iPhone 12
You might have seen a lot of rumors and leaks of the brand new iPhone 12. As such, this article will roundup everything we know so far. The new iPhone is expected to feature a 6.1-inch screen LCD display. It may come equipped with Apple A13 Bionic chipset and may run on iOS 14 out-of-the-box. Apple iPhone 12 is rumored to come with a notch on the top of the display. It may also come with TouchID to unlock the device. As far as the camera is concerned, the new iPhone may offer a dual rear camera setup. The camera sensors may include a 12MP main camera and a 12MP telephoto lens. For selfies, the handset is likely to offer a 12MP camera at the front. Although, the battery capacity is yet not known about the upcoming device. But it is expected that Apple may bring an upgraded battery having longer battery life as compared to the existing Apple iPhone 11 lineup. The device may come in two different non-expandable storage variants - 64GB and 128GB.See also: iPHONE 11
Camera
The headline news for the iPhone 12 is Apple’s move to integrate a long-range 3D camera. This has now been leaked by multiple sources and it will enable the iPhone 12 to actively map its environment up to about 15 feet. It will be laser-based unlike the 25-50 centimeter range of the dot projector-based 3D mapping system used in Face ID on the front of current iPhones. While a 3D camera may help photographs with things like Portrait mode (where depth measurement is a major factor), the big win is augmented reality (AR). Expect Apple to make a big deal of this come launch time.
Display
While it may look the same, the new iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max family is understood to be tweaking its screen sizes with both bigger and smaller panels:iPhone 12: 6.1-inch (same as iPhone 11)
iPhone 12 Pro: 5.4-inch (Vs 5.8-inch iPhone 11 Pro)
iPhone 12 Pro Max 5G: 6.7-inch (Vs 6.5-inch iPhone 11 Pro Max)
In addition to this, Apple is expected to introduce new 120Hz ProMotion displays. Jumping to a 90/120Hz panel is essential to keep up with rivals, many of which made the move in 2019 and Samsung will fit the Galaxy S11 with a 120Hz panel in 2020. Coincidentally, Apple will also adopt Samsung’s Y-OCTA display technology for slimmer panels and OLED may come to the entry-level iPhone 12.
Biometrics
Face ID is not expected to change much in the iPhone 12 other than slight performance tweaks and, perhaps, a fractionally smaller notch. But the return of Touch ID integrated into the display is a major event that has been leaked time after time. While facial recognition and fingerprint sensors have their own pros and cons, the real value of its return is when used in conjunction with Face ID for extremely high-level security. Hopefully, where and when will be user selectable.Performance
Apple has renewed its exclusive manufacturing deal with TSMC to be the sole supplier of its next-gen A14 iPhone chipset with production beginning as soon as Q2. DigiTimes says it will be the first A-Series chip to be manufactured with a 5nm process (A12 / A13 were 7nm) which should both boost performance and increase efficiency. It could also increase Apple's (already large) advantage over rivals with Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 865 flagship chipset for Android phones still using 7nm.
Connectivity / Networking
there is a lot of speculation that the Lightning port will be replaced by USB-C. This remains to be seen as talking is also building that Apple will move the iPhone to a port-less, wireless charging-only model in the next few years. As such, introducing USB-C for a short time would seem pointless.More certain, is the arrival of 5G. Apple will introduce 5G across the entire iPhone 12 range. It will deliver support for both mmWave and sub-6GHz bands.
