Apple May Launch This Year's 'iPhone 12' Lineup in Two Stages, With 6.1-inch Models Debuting First

I’m assuming that with the Pro at least, the bezel is going to be narrower such that the device size is basically the same as the X, XS and 11 Pro.
It might be a neat way of separating the different models. If the two 6.1” iPhones have different overall dimensions, the Pro could be the svelte one which feels better in your hand and looks way better.
Wow. They gave you a loaner? They barely did anything for me a few months ago when my battery swelled. They made me come to the store or have no phone for days, while I shipped it in for repair.
I agree though. The iPhone X has been a good phone. I would like the battery improvements of the newer phones. Camera improvements are cool, but I don’t really take tons of pictures.
As someone who is used to handling huge Android phones, a 6.1 inch iPhone 12 seems like the the perfect size.
Will be interesting to find out how much the 5nm A14 chip improves battery life over last year's iPhones, and if there's a significant difference in battery life between iPhones of the same generation but different sizes.

You get that extra camera and a slightly higher resolution screen lol. But I agree. Not sure why there needs to be 2 6.1" versions. It made a little sense when rumor of the lidar camera and high refresh rate screen, but now seems both of those are a no go.still do not get the point of a 6.1 Pro and none Pro version if they all feature 5G but okaymaybe "an excuse" to make the 6.7 even more expensive?

Id say battery will be worse with the addition of 5G. It's a shame they regressed on battery from the 11 series.
Why not just get the battery replaced? At least that way you have a device that someone else might want to buy / give to someone else. The cost of a battery replacement isn't that significant, not compared to a new phone anyway.Doing my best to make it to October.
Your phone with a battery at 30% capacity is basically broken and worthless. Your phone with a new battery is probably worth several times the cost of the battery replacement.
Considering the almost four years of wear and tear on the device I can't imagine it being worth much more than $50 to be honest. Maybe $75 with packaging and cables.
Regardless, with my local Apple Store closed anyway I have nowhere to bring it in to service. I don't trust anyone working at Best Buy to not FUBAR the thing.
Or if anything else it will be $1149 but start with 128GB, so will technically be the same price for what you get.
Yes and if they start at 128GB, you are really only paying $50 more
If I do upgrade I will most likely go 6.1 Pro. The 11PM is already getting a bit large for me. Maybe if they can condense the bezels and notch enough on the 6.7 for the body to not be much larger than the 11PM, I might go for it.
I'm intrigued about what anyone would need 1TB on a phone. I previously had a 128GB 6s which was more than enough and then had to get the 256gb X when I upgraded. I use a bit over 70GB so the 64gb models really aren't big enough. But 1TB? Most laptops don't have SSDs of that size.
Nah the 512GB—>1TB would only add $200, that’s the price of the bump on iPads and Macs anyway. So the low, low price of $1,749 🙂
(Personally, as someone who buys down near the entry level part of the lineup, I’m ok with the upgrade prices subsidizing the base price.)
