Apple’s new Watches and iPads just had their turn in the spotlight now it’s time for the iPhone 12 to take the stage. The company has just sent out invites to an event on October 13th at 10AM Pacific/1PM Eastern with the tagline “Hi, Speed.”
Apple was expected to unveil its new iPhone 12 line at its mid-September event, just as it has done for the past several years. Ultimately, the company decided to hold off. Instead, the Time Flies event focused on new Apple Watch models and refreshed iPads with upgraded internals.
Analysts expect Apple to unveil as many as four new iPhones next week, including a 5.4-inch iPhone “mini,” two models with screens measuring 6.1 inches and a flagship device called the iPhone 12 Pro Max with a 6.7-inch display. The latter, should it materialize, would be the biggest phone in terms of screen size that Apple has ever introduced.
It is a common belief that all of the new iPhones will feature 5G connectivity and utilize OLED displays that support Face ID authentication.
Apple’s iPhones tend to be the star of whatever show they appear in, the company’s reference to speed in its invitations could manifest in one more interesting way. Apple announced its plans to ditch Intel’s processors and chart a new path for its desktops and laptops with in-house chipsets earlier this year, and execs time noted that the company would launch its first ARM-based Mac in 2020. With only a few months left on the 2020 clock, we may get our first glimpse of the future of the Mac in a few short days.
We’ll be covering the event live next week, so stay tuned for all the news as it happens.
