Full Details of iPhone 12 Lineup Allegedly Leaked Ahead of Next Week's Apple Event

[MacRumors]

A Chinese Weibo account going by the name "Kang" this morning posted allegedly accurate information for every product set to be announced at the upcoming Apple event on October 13, including details on the full iPhone 12 lineup.

An image of the original post in Chinese has been tweeted by leaker Ice Universe, who has provided accurate information on unreleased Apple products in the past. The following details in English rely on a machine translation of the original post:

• iPhone 12 Mini (5.4-inches)
• Price: from $699

• Storage: 64GB/128GB/256GB

According to the leak, all four iPhone 12 models will have OLED Super Retina XDR displays and a new hardened "Ceramic Shield" glass screen, and all are capable of shooting Dolby Vision video, offering higher dynamic range.

In addition, all phones will support 5G, but only the U.S. models of the iPhone 12 lineup will reportedly support the faster mmWave 5G band.

Other notable details in the leak include a "Smart Data Mode" for iPhone 12 models that switches between 4G and 5G depending on bandwidth needs to save power; iPhone 12 photography improvements for Deep Fusion and Night Mode; a "47 percent larger sensor" on the iPhone 12 Pro Max compared to the iPhone 12 Pro; and a special "Expansive" super wide angle capability for the Max model.

The leak also includes pricing and launch date details on the rumored HomePod Mini as well as an alleged "MagSafe" iPhone 12 case and two wireless chargers. Curiously, the leak doesn't mention Apple's rumored Tile-like "AirTags" accessories or "AirPods Studio" headphones, however.

According to AppleTrack, the leak source "Kang" has a reliable track record, and has accurately predicted several of Apple's WWDC and September event announcements this year, including the iPhone SE price, the hand-washing feature for Apple Watch, and the price and features of the new iPad Air.

I really looked forward to 12 for its iPad Pro-like design. However, lack of 120Hz is disappointing. I may skip it after all.

120Hz is an absolute must for OSD (obsessive scrolling disorder). Your eyes will thank you.

 

[fokmik]

I dont think Apple will have 3 different release dates
1 for the mini , 1 for the 6.1" models and 1 for the max

 

[HeavenDynamic]

This guy is 97.8% accurate according to AppleTrack. So, I guess that's the real thing.

 

[farewelwilliams]

for those wondering: 7P = 7 element lens which allows more light in to the sensor.

 

[entropys]

Not that I really care, but why do US models only get mmwave?
do aussies get better battery life instead?

 

[allenvanhellen]

If I can’t get a nice telephoto lens on the mini, I’d rather just get a bumpless wide angle than some big protruding square with two wide angle lenses.

 

[wiseman999]

Likelihood of any of current models continuing at lower price?

 

[ApplelD]

I think it may be that carriers in other countries have no plans to support mmWave...

 

[Kylo83]

So the uk will have bad 5g great

 

[Unggoy Murderer]

Likelihood of any of current models continuing at lower price?

Pretty likely, they've done this almost every year in some shape or form.

 

[Seanm87]

Not really anything we didnt already know then

 

[ApplelD]

When they say only US Models of the iPhone 12 lineup will support mmWave, I hope it means they all support both Sub-6 and mmWave 5G whether you buy the iPhone 12 Mini or the iPhone 12 Pro Max

 

[glitch44]

I'm curious if any have TouchID in the power button like the new iPad Air.

 

[hunapu]

Why are someone's guesses interesting so close to the launche date?

 

[ApplelD]

I hope that 128GB starting storage for the Pro models is correct when they do the event...

 

[Marzel]

Does no mmWave 5G support outside the US imply a hardware variation or is it just disabled through software? It would be extremely annoying for such expensive devices that some keep for years to not be able to support it everywhere.

The overall lineup is extremely underwhelming compared to last year's models although the increased storage capacities on the base models are very welcome. We're basically having the same (overall) form factor and huge notch for 3 years now...

 

[ApplelD]

That would really such if it does turn out to be true tho

 

[wozwebs]

12 Pro Max for me. Still using the XS Max and my 64GB keeps filling up. 128GB should be fine for me and 5x optical zoom will come in handy.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

November 20????? Ewwwww what!!!!

 

[Kylo83]

Very disappointed with the specs for the pro max, I guess never year is the one

 

[JPack]

You know the info is real because this leaker Kang is so humble.

He has an extremely good track record, but says at the end of his post, these are just rumors. Compare that to some leakers on Twitter who would die on a hill even after being proven wrong.

 

[PaulKemp]

need a new phone to replace my X, and go for the Mini - but then I have to wait longer. Or, go for the more expensive bigger size. ?

Does anyone know if the Apple store allows for returns of iphones? If I buy 1 small and 1 big? Can I return a used iPhone when bought from the Apple Store?

Yeah I am hoping for mmwave support a Telstra does support it.

Leak while incomplete seems a bit boring and given many exciting things are already supposedly coming next year.. I say this is true
