- Tomorrow Apple is holding,,
what is typically it's annual iPhone event.
Normally this event is held in September,
but due to the global everything that's been happening
here in 2020,
the launch got pushed back by about a month,
that said here on the eve of the event,
I'm gonna break down all of the biggest rumors,
from the most trusted sources,
to give you the details of what will be revealed,
at the Hi Speed iPhone 12 event.
Now, jumping off of that Hi Speed event name,
one of the major features of the iPhone 12,
will be the addition of 5G connectivity.
These would be the first Apple devices of any kind
to support 5G,
and they'll support both the Sub-6 Gigahertz,
and millimeter wave versions.
Now, Sub-6 isn't as fast as millimeter wave,
but it is far more widespread,
and can penetrate through walls,
like we're used to with cellular.
Millimeter wave is incredibly fast,
but basically it requires direct line of sight
to the antenna,
so, it's great if you're in a stadium,
or some other fixed position.
Expect Apple to spend some time demoing the speed benefits
of 5G at the event.
Staying on the Hi Speed event named,
there's also the new A14 chip.
This is the main processor that powers the iPhone.
And this is going to be the first five nanometer chip,
put into any smartphone,
which is a big leap forward,
expect major gains above power and efficiency,
and for Apple to spend some time showing
that not only how much faster this chip is,
than the ones found in the last couple of iPhones,
but also the battery life improvements,
that five nanometers will allow for.
All right, next up,
let's talk about these new sizes.
This year,
Apple will be releasing four new models of iPhones,
across three different sizes.
So, let's go from smallest to largest.
The new iPhone 12 mini, will be 5.4 inches,
and will be the smallest iPhone that Apple sales.
And yes, it will be even smaller than the iPhone SE,
the Apple released earlier this year,
and actually it will be just a little bit bigger,
than the original iPhone 5 and iPhone SE.
Then there's the standard iPhone 12,
which will be 6.1 inches,
the same size as last year's iPhone 11.
Then there's the iPhone 12 Pro,
which will also be 6.1 inches,
which is up from the 5.8 inches of the iPhone 11 Pro,
and lastly, there is the big guy,
the iPhone 12 Pro Max will be 6.7 inches,
which is up from the 6.5 inches of last year's model,
and the largest iPhone display that Apple has ever released.
Now, one other note on the displays of these phones,
the entire lineup will shape with OLED displays,
for the first time,
in previous years, Apple split the line between,
OLED at the high end and LCD at the entry level.
Now, all the design of these phones,
as you can kind of see here with these dummy models,
you're getting a slight redesign, gone are the curved edges,
and in is a new squared-off design,
similar to what you see on the iPad Pro and iPad Air.
People have been asking for this for a while,
but I personally think that this shape will mean
that the phones will be less comfortable in the hand,
but I digress.
Next, let's talk about cameras.
This is always one of the major areas that Apple focuses on.
No pun intended during iPhone keynotes.
First, the camera hardware themselves will be improved,
with an f/1.6 aperture taking in even more light,
and the Pro models will get an even wider ultra-wide camera,
and that third Telephoto lens that is found on the Pro model
will provide an optical zoom up to four times,
which is way up from the two times,
found on the current 11 Pro Max.
The 12 Pro Max in particular,
will also have a couple of exclusive features,
namely five times optical zoom,
and 47% larger camera sensors.
So, if photography is your thing,
then the Pro Max is gonna be the one to get.
We'll also see the next generation of Apple's HDR algorithm
called Smart HDR 3,
and the second generation of both Deep Fusion,
which is meant to make,
photos taken in more medium light scenarios look good,
and Night mode, which has meant for dim to dark scenes.
The new Pro models will also pick up the LiDAR scanner,
that we saw ship on the iPad Pro earlier this year,
which should be great,
not only for augmented reality applications,
but also in helping gather depth information,
when taking photos as well.
For video, the big rumor is that you'll be able to record,
a native Dolby Vision HDR,
which if true is absolutely insane.
Now on top of that, we're also expecting 4K,
both 120 and 240 frames per second.
So, that's 4K super slow-mo.
Okay, now let's quickly talk about battery life.
Many people have been concerned about the smaller batteries
that we'll be shipping in the next iPhones.
However, battery size doesn't matter at all,
what matters is battery life.
And the good news is that the new iPhone 12,
12 Pro and 12 Pro Max should all have at least one hour,
of additional battery life when compared
to the iPhone 11 counterparts.
Now, the iPhone 12 mini though, just do it's smaller size
I imagine just won't be able to match the others.
Wireless charging is gonna see a big improvement,
going from 7.5 watts up to 15 watts.
So, double the wireless charging speeds,
along with a new technology,
that Apple will be calling MagSafe.
There will be a magnetic ring in the back of the iPhone,
that will make it line up perfectly,
with supported wireless chargers,
which in turn will make wireless charging,
way more efficient.
Expect Apple to also release
a couple of MagSafe wireless chargers,
for the new iPhones as well.
Finally, let's get to pricing.
The iPhone 12 mini is rumor to start,
at either 649 or 699,
and it will be available in black, white, red, blue,
and green, I don't know where the orange color went,
but okay.
The iPhone 12 will start at either 749 or 799,
and will be available in those same colors.
Definitely 12 Pro we'll start at 999,
it will be available in gold, silver, black, and dark blue,
and finally, the iPhone Pro Max we'll start at 1099,
in those same colors.
We now wanna hear from you.
