So, the iPhone 12 exist, Tim and the rest of the executive team likely have been using their iPhone 12 for the past month, Phil Schiller likely since May (in extremely prototype form). Dieter, Marques, Jonathan and iJustine are being briefed with units on their way.

What do you do when the AirPower design you shared with the public causes overheating and won’t allow for the phone to be placed on any part of the mat, and you’re embarrassed because the product you publicly announced never launched? You leverage a magnet-based design to drive the iPhone toward a single position on the mat, and you rebrand AirPower as MagSafe, a beloved prior product design. Really, really smart, Apple.

Airpower is rebranded as magsafe because they have improved many things in it like placing magnets into it for better grip of iphones on wireless charger, i dont find anything wrong in it, atleast we are getting improved and refined product from apple after 3 years instead of faulty airpower, apple thinks best for their customers by giving them perfect product, not like other chinese brands who just give you latest innovation in your hands without any proper testings and later on customer loose their hard earned money and suffer a lot.

Cant wait for the iphone 12 mini. Hope the battery is not as weak as the leaks have been suggesting.

I don’t find anything wrong with it either. I think it’s a smart pivot.

Last Minute Apple Event Rumors

This past week has solidified our expectations for Apple's October Event with these final rumors:

Earliest iPhone 12 Rumors - A Look Back

It's easy to forget, but iPhone 12 rumors have been circulating for almost two years now. The earliest buzz came in late 2018, while concrete details of the specific form factors first came out as early as 16 months ago.
Many of the early rumors have actually held up and matches up with what is still expected on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, rumors for the 2021 iPhones have already been circulating. Here are some early rumors but we're sure to hear more as Apple starts ramping up suppliers for the next iPhone:

First iPhone for me since the 7 plus... I'm ready to come back baby! iPhone has always been about optimization and "experience" over hardware for me. I went to Android years ago because of "hardware" and I swear I really miss all the little things that Apple just does. T-Minus 13 hours!

No ARM Macs? No AirPods Studio? No AirTags?

I think I’ll be sitting this one out and will just skim the video later.

Any chance for a ‘one more thing’ surprise?

Good question. I think Apple has been getting away from that for years now. But if there was ‘one more thing‘, maybe the studio headphones or Airtags, It’ll probably be an accessory that they may announce, but it’s hard to say how they handle this, given it is entirely digital.

Pre-orders this Friday/launch the 23rd. I just hope for those of us getting a 12 pro max that might be delayed until November, that we can still place our orders on the 16th!

I would love to preorder the 12 Pro Max this Friday, even if it don’t launch a month out.

This thread from April 2nd 2019 regarding a 5.42" full screen iPhone was I think the moment I finally engaged again in iPhone rumours, previously consigning myself to the thought that I would have to use an iPhone SE for the rest of my life ?

Maybe people ignored it because well ... DigiTimes

Image at head is wrong - the tag line had been updated to Fast approaching before this item was posted.

Read the two together:

Hi speed fast approaching.


This could be pointing at one or more of:

Faster processor - A14
Faster memory - LPDDR5
Faster storage
Faster charging - especially wireless
Faster wifi
Faster cellular transmissions - 5G but possibly also improvements to 4G
Faster facial recognition
Faster camera lenses - lower f all round?
Faster focussing
Faster video frame rates
Faster delivery - from Apple stores?
