Hints iPhone 12 event invite: these clues are inside
On October 13, Apple will hold its iPhone 12 event, the company announced. As always, this includes a nice invitation. In recent years we have repeatedly turned the invitation inside out at iCulture to see if anything can be deduced from it. From the most bizarre hints to credible clues, everything passed. Over the past year, Apple seemed to be doing less, but the invitation of it september 2020-event did prove that Apple is lifting a corner of the veil. Reason enough to get our magnifying glass back and the invitation of the iPhone 12event under the microscope.
# 1 Colors: Blue, Orange and more
The most striking (and also the most revealing) are the colors of the invitation. At the September event, this proved to be a reliable indicator, as the colors in the Apple logo matched those of the new iPad Air 2020 in Apple Watch Series 6. So it could just be that that is also the case this time. The dark color blue is of course very striking. It is not without reason that rumors have been going on about a dark blue one for months iPhone 12 Pro.
We find the orange color striking. There have been no rumors of an orange colored iPhone recently. Maybe it is one of the new colors of the iPhone 12, the successor to the colorful iPhone 11? We still do not know which (new) colors Apple has in store for this.
In addition, Apple has made another variation of the invitation, where the colors are different. Instead of dark blue and orange, it has more green and a different shade of blue. This green color resembles the green of the current one iPhone 11, so perhaps this color will return again.
# 2 Circles refer to camera
Another striking aspect are the circles of the invitation. If you look at the large version, you will see four circles (from large to small). Not entirely coincidentally, the iPhone 12 Pro again three camera lenses and a LiDAR scanner. That makes a total of four larger circles on the back of the iPhone. That does not mean that it is actually four lenses, because the LiDAR scanner is only a sensor that emits invisible light rays to measure distance to objects. On the iPad Pro 2020 the LiDAR scanner is the same size as the camera lenses, but the fact that the circles in the invitation are smaller may reveal that the LiDAR scanner on the iPhone 12 Pro is smaller.
Incidentally, the colors also seem to resemble a sunset and sunrise. Apple may have further improved the camera’s night mode.
# 3 Reference to 5G
The invitation also includes a slogan. This time that’s “Hi, Speed”, a play on words for “high speed”. It takes little creativity to realize that Apple is referring here with a wink to the arrival of 5G. The iPhone 12 series is the first series of iPhones to include 5G, the faster version of the mobile internet. We still do not know exactly which technology Apple will use and how much faster it actually is. That also depends on the network. During the presentation, Apple will undoubtedly also make a comparison with the current 4G speeds, but whether that comparison also applies in the Netherlands is still the question.
# 4 Fast A14 chip
In addition to 5G, the slogan may also refer to the speed of the iPhones. from benchmarks of the A14 chip already turns out to be a real speed monster. Apple will undoubtedly say that it is the fastest iPhone ever (because they say that every year), but may want to emphasize that even more during the event. Maybe more will come iOSfeatures on the latest devices taking full advantage of the speed enhancement of the iPhone 12.
