Apple's iPhone 12 Event Could Happen on October 13 Based on Rumors From Mobile Operators

[farewelwilliams]

could happen as soon as prosser gives us the wrong date.

and before you start typing: yes i understand prosser is usually right with timing. it's a joke. calm down.

I was at the parking lot at McDonalds in Cupertino. I saw Phil in his SUV while he was speaking into his iPhone, he actually was yelling "we just have 12 days" and "we need space fuc..... grey" ... I'm not sure but I guess release will be on October 4th...

I'm sorry but that's very unlikely.

But wasn't it "days away" from being released? Now it's weeks away? Can't they (the leakers) agree on a date? Ridiculous!

I am curious to see what things Apple includes with the new iPhones that hasn’t been discussed in rumors. I’ll likely upgrade, mainly because my wife needs a new phone and she will be happy with my 11 Pro Max. But I’m more excited for the future iPad Pro update and Apple Silicon Macs that will hit early next year.

33 for me.

That wallpaper is great - does anyone here have a link to a high-res version?

Thanks!

I predict it will happen ... in the future

 

[bobtem]

"could perhaps"...

So it "might maybe"?

My wallet is ready.

I too love all the "rumors suggest that new products could potentially be announced at some point in the future..." kind of reporting we get on this site. It's like watching Ancient Aliens – "Could this mean that extra terrestrials may have visited us in the past?"

Too many key words being misused in this article.

Announcement
Launch
Availability

I wish MR would provide a "smart version" of their articles – one that isn't loaded up with redundant terms and key words. Couldn't they do it that way? The main article is the one written for SEO, and then have a click for the "smart article" that is written for normal reading.

I would like it before the end of October so I get set up my digital key with my car that supposed to be coming in at the end of the month!!

 

[smulji]

I’ve been saying this.
iPad Air: orders on October 6.
iPhone event: October 13
Pre-orders for iPhone 12 mini and 12: October 16
Release: October 23
Quarterly earnings call: October 27
ARM Mac Event: November 10
iPhone 12 pro and 12 pro max pre-orders: November 13
Release: November 20

I'd be surprised if there's a separate November event for the Apple Silicon Macs

I guess BT's "days away" might mean about 3 weeks. He was not wrong I suppose.

Anyhow, I was rooting for Sept. 30, even though that seemed overly optimistic, but that supposed Easter egg turned out to be false.

Happy Hallowe'en!

I suspect MacRumors editors simply don't know the difference between launch and availability. Those are two distinct activities. The SEO stuff can be at the end of the article.

My wallet, and body, are ready!

Now to decide which size. I always go with the Max/Plus. But how much larger the 12 Max will be compared to my XSMax (entire body size, not screen) will have me either going up or down, but definitely the Pros.

Apple will have a printable sheet you can download and print to help you determine the correct size...

Some kind of announcements in Oct, and they are about new phones, got it. I think we already knew this.

"Our newest iPhone is a MacBook Air!"

This is what Jon Prosser says also (at least the bolded part). Sounds right. So a month to go until we can actually have them.

Pro models can't be a month away from original iPhone.

 

[Ukiyo Evenings]

Whatever the date, we'll still get the numerous "I'm so excited to be here/to tell you about" cringeworthy presenter excitement. Although, as someone looking to get their first iPhone, I am excited! 😂

 

[mariusfanu]

Oh god, I hope that the 12 mini name doesn't stick... 😅

 

[Vanilla35]

I'm sorry but that's very unlikely.

Which part? The McDonald's, or Phil shouting into his phone?

This is the most credible report I've heard so far!

The bigger question that I have is, will Apple release a COVID-friendly iPhone with TouchID somewhere on the phone?
I've already decided that I'm not buying another iPhone until Touch ID makes a comeback as there's no telling how long we're going to be wearing masks.
