With Apple products, it’s always the same – as soon as the brand releases an updated version of the smartphone, fans are eager to learn detailed information about the next generation of phones. As a result, around the 2020 novelty – Apple iPhone 12 – hundreds of rumors emerge. But there is also truthful information. Let’s try to gather everything together and see the overall picture. And at the same time, get acquainted with the video presented by the ConceptsiPhone channel.
Apple iPhone 12: facts and rumors
One can confidently consider the official statement of former Apple employees, who gave interviews to Reuters, as truth. It concerns the possibility of delaying the release of the iPhone 12. The problem is related to the coronavirus in China. It turns out that most of the components for the smartphone are manufactured by Foxconn Corporation. Due to the ongoing epidemic, the factory has been idle for the second month. Moving all production to the USA is not feasible for Apple. Firstly, there are no technical specialists of the appropriate level. Secondly, resources (rare earth metals) for manufacturing circuit boards are lacking.
Apple announced the development of 5G modules for smartphones, abandoning the Qualcomm QTM525 mmWave chip. Officially, the company stated that the antennas do not match the design of the new iPhone 12. Only their own 5G module has not yet been developed by Apple. More likely, Apple will find a compromise with Qualcomm.
Bloomberg reports that the new models will feature an improved 3D camera for augmented reality. The manufacturer decided to completely abandon point projection in favor of a laser scanner. Certainly, such a solution will be positively appreciated by buyers – so far, such technologies could only be seen in science fiction movies and series.
The Japanese have long been working on improving Wi-Fi standards. There is already networking equipment operating in the 60 GHz range. It is expected that the new Apple iPhone 12 will support Wi-Fi 802.11ay fully. For those unfamiliar, this technology will allow the smartphone to “communicate” within sight with any objects equipped with a similar chip. Convenient for finding keys, gadgets, or working with multimedia devices.
The Chinese are confident that, like recent models, the new device will have an OLED display. Only the display manufacturer has not yet been determined. After issues with Retina products related to delamination of anti-reflective coatings, Apple executives are pondering whom to assign the order to. Possibly LG and Samsung, which have already thoroughly studied the technology and will be able to produce an impeccable quality screen for the Apple iPhone 12.
