For the iPhone 12, Apple plans to go big, including one-of-a-kind hardware components. Here’s what the smartphone will look like
Design, size, power and 5G. On these four features Apple is carrying on the work for the iPhone 12, despite the many difficulties of recent weeks caused by the Coronavirus outbreak, which is putting the entire mobile phone industry in great difficulty. The release of the iPhone 12, however, is expected in mid-September and then there is still time for the situation to normalize.
The Cupertino company is betting heavily on the new line of iPhone 12, the first to be composed of four devices. Apple, in fact, wants to expand its market share as much as possible and intends to occupy market segments unexplored until now. It is no coincidence that for the end of March is expected the release of the iPhone 9. But even in this case, the doubts are many and so far Apple has not sent any official invitation for the presentation. Returning on the iPhone 12, the smartphone should be the first Apple device with support for the 5G network. Many analysts are certain of the presence of the 5G modem on upcoming iPhones: by now all competitors have launched smartphones with support for the super-fast network and Apple can’t lag behind.
How will the iPhone 12
Unicity. This is the watchword that is guiding Apple for the development of the next iPhone 12. Indeed, it would be more correct to speak of “next iPhone 12”. The Cupertino company, in fact, is ready to launch as many as four models of its top-of-the-line smartphone. Two should represent the low-cost line, top of the range devices with a launch price between 700 and 800 euros. The other two models, however, will represent the premium line and will most likely be called iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max.
These two last models will be characterized by very generous dimensions (for the Max version there is even talk of a 6.7-inch screen) and top-level hardware components, starting with the latest version of the A14 chipset. News also with regard to the design: Apple is considering the adoption of an all-metal frame, very similar to the iPhone 4. Possibility that disappear the notch and leave the field to a version without bezels.
Of 5G we have already mentioned. For the moment it is the only feature on which we can be sure: the superfast modem will be part of the next iPhone 12.
iPhone 12, boom of purchases
According to some analysts, the iPhone 12 could make a real boom on the market. And the credit, unfortunately, should be precisely the Coronavirus. The virus that has infected more than ninety countries around the world and especially China and (ouch us) Italy, putting in serious crisis the smartphone industry, with sales of the devices in sharp decline. With the mandatory quarantine for millions of people, it is normal that purchases of smartphones are declining.
For this reason, analysts expect a surge in the market between late 2020 and early 2021, the period in which should make its debut on the market just the iPhone 12. That could take advantage of this favorable conjuncture to become soon the best-selling smartphone. For the moment, these are only hypotheses, in the hope that the emergency for the Coronavirus will end soon.
