iPhone 12: You can expect this tonight

Three cameras again

In terms of cameras, not much would change: Apple would again use three lenses on the back of the device. An improved sensor ensures that photos with a resolution of 64 megapixels are taken.

There is, however, a LIDAR sensor next to the cameras that helps estimate depth for augmented reality, for example. We saw this with the latest earlier this year iPad Pro.

The iPhone 12 Pro models would start at 128GB of storage space, where that was 64GB in recent years. The regular iPhones 12 stay with that 64 GB storage.

Support for 5G, also in the Netherlands?

The iPhone 12 must be Apple’s first device to support it 5G turn into. This faster network technology will be used by many more providers from this year.

Recently, Dutch companies bought the required 5G frequenciesso that the faster connection can be rolled out nationwide. Vodafone already offers 5G.

The question is whether the iPhone 12 will immediately work with 5G in the Netherlands. According to rumors, the keys will not work with the 700 MHz frequency of 5G currently used in the Netherlands. The higher frequencies required for higher speeds will not be auctioned in the Netherlands for a few years.

A14 chip

Traditionally, the iPhone 12 also gets a new chip: the A14. The chip is expected to be faster, offer nicer graphics and possibly more efficient use of power.

The production of the A14 is interesting. Apple has committed to Macs with their own chips meaning the A14 may also become the MacBook Pro’s new chip. This makes it powerful enough to run a regular computer, which the iPhone in turn can benefit from.

The new iPhone 12 Pro models would get an hour longer battery life. Due to its smaller size, the iPhone 12 Mini would last less than the iPhone 11.

About the same price

This year, the price of the iPhone 12 would not be very different from usual. Analysts think Apple wants to keep the same suggested retail price as the iPhone 11, with a new price point for the iPhone 12 Mini. This may be slightly cheaper than normal.

No earphones and adapter in the box

Apple would make one sacrifice to keep the price low: the earplugs and power adapter would not included. That way production would become slightly cheaper, while parts for Apple have increased in price.

The iPhone 12 does come with a power cable, which this time is braided. This makes it sturdier and more flexible than conventional cables.

According to a rumor, Apple would also come with a case with a magnetic connection and magnetic chargers, which would be given the old name MagSafe. One of the chargers could charge two Apple devices at the same time.

Other new Apple products

In addition to the new iPhones, there have also been rumors about other new Apple products for months, including the AirPods Studioheadphones, a smaller HomePodspeaker and the AirTags-trackers to find lost items. Apple may keep these products for a later date.
