Apple iPhone 12

A few days ago Apple confirmed the date of its upcoming virtual event where it is expected to announce the iPhone 12, the next-generation iPhone at this event.

Today Chinese leaker Kang, endorsed by Ice Universe, appears to have leaked the whole lineup for the event.

Translated the text reads:

The main points of Apple’s 14th conference are summarized in the popular version:
[The following dates are free to write due to time difference]

[1] Speaker
HomePod Mini, priced at $99, 3.3 inches high, S5 processor.
Most places are scheduled for November 6/7, and will be released on 16/17. Please wait for the domestic release.

[2] iPhone
iPhone released four models,

iPhone 12 Mini (5.4 inches), starting at US$699. The colors are black, white, red, blue, and green.

iPhone 12 (6.1 inches) starting at US$799 , The colors are black, white, red, blue, green

iPhone 12 Pro (6.1 inches), the starting price is 999 US dollars, the colors are gold, silver, graphite, blue

iPhone 12 Pro Max (6.7 inches), starting sale The price is $1,099. The colors are gold, silver, graphite, and blue,

all of which are 5G models. At present, only the US model has the millimeter wave standard. The key point: no earphones and chargers are provided.

12 Mini and 12 memory capacity to choose from: 64G/128G/256G
12 Pro and 12 Pro Max memory capacity to choose from: 128G/256G/512G The

four screens are: Super Retina XDR Display, and there is a new screen Glass technology, Ceramic Shield Front Cover, is simply a ceramic substrate glass, which increases hardness and resistance to drop.

The name of wireless charging returns to Magsafe, with a power of 15W.

All four mobile phones can directly shoot Dolby Vision (Dolby Vision)

There is a bright spot in the use function: Smart Data Mode. My understanding is that 4G/5G is allocated according to the application bandwidth. Specific big data throughput applications use 5G, which is estimated to save power.

Camera photography is the key point. I’m afraid it’s not accurate enough here. Some parts are described in English:

iPhone 12 Mini (5.4 inches): dual camera, or wide angle + ultra wide angle, ƒ/1.6
iPhone 12 (6.1 inches): dual camera, or wide angle + ultra Wide-angle, ƒ/1.6

Deep Fusion and night scene mode have become better, Smart HDR also has a new upgrade, that is, Smart HDR 3

iPhone 12 Pro (6.1 inches): three cameras (wide-angle, ultra-wide-angle, telephoto) + LiDAR, The new wide-angle 7P lens, ƒ/1.6, 52mm focal length telephoto, the whole system can provide four times optical zoom.

iPhone 12 Pro Max (6.7 inches): Three shots (wide-angle, ultra-wide-angle, telephoto) + LiDAR, wide-angle with the new 7P lens, ƒ/1.6, 65mm focal length telephoto, the entire system can provide five times optical zoom.

Key point: The biggest difference between 12 Pro Max and 12 Pro is that 12 Pro Max also has a larger sensor (47% larger sensor with 1.7?m pixels). Expansive is added before the description of the 12 Pro Max ultra-wide angle.

[Key points]
The pre-sale date of the iPhone 12 Mini (5.4 inches) is scheduled for November 6/7, and it will be released on November 13/14.

The pre-sale date of the iPhone 12 (6.1 inches) is scheduled for October 16/17 and will be released on October 23/24.

The pre-sale date of the iPhone 12 Pro (6.1 inches) is scheduled for October 16/17 and will be released on October 23/24.

The pre-sale date of the iPhone 12 Pro Max (6.7 inches) is scheduled for November 13/14 and will be released on November 20/21.

The official key accessories are:
Magsafe, the official magnetic casing belt, two Magsafe Chargers for wireless chargers, and Magsafe Duo Charger. You can understand the literal meaning.

The main new points is confirmation that Apple is adding magnets to their Qi chargers, and presumably calling them Magsafe chargers, and will be releasing a MagSafe Duo charger for their new iPhones.

Also that the iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max will only hit the market in November.
