Apple’s iPhone 12 event is Oct. 13, and here’s everything we think we know.
Here we go again: Apple’s last event was just a month ago, but on Tuesday, the company will take the wraps off even more new devices. This time, it looks like we’ll get what everyone has been waiting for: new iPhones. We knew the iPhone(s) 12 would arrive later in the year than usual—Apple confirmed as much in its July quarterly earnings call to set expectations—and after September’s event highlighted the Apple Watch and iPad, it looks like the iPhone is finally on deck. It is entirely possible that Apple will save the iPhone for yet another rumored launch event next month, but that may well be when we’ll see the first Mac with Apple Silicon (we’re betting on it). But we’re not expecting just iPhones to appear on Tuesday. Here’s everything Apple is expected to announce. Apple’s cheeky “Hi, Speed” tagline on its event invites is a clear reference to 5G and the faster speeds that the next-gen networks promise. (Whether they deliver or not is a bigger question.) It’s also a reference to the A14 Bionic processor that will almost definitely be included in this year’s iPhones. The iPhone 12 lineup is rumored to include not two, not three, but four new phones, which is a big deal, because one of those phones is expected to be pint-sized. No, not like this year’s iPhone SE, which sounded like it would be a small phone but was actually the size of an iPhone 8—a regular-sized phone with a tiny screen.
