Which in turn might make the phone lighter, which is a good thing to many, for various reasons. (As long as the runtime of the phone, for various scenarios remains consistent with prior years.)
Apple needs to be careful not to tarnish the "Pro" moniker with this release. I'm in the camp with some others that the use of "Pro" for iPhone 11 Pro was a bit of a stretch and it's looking like there will be even less this time to differentiate the 12 from the 12 Pro.
The pro model is going to have worse camera than pro max.. Just makes normal pro seem pointless
120 Hz + smaller notch should have happened this year.
Apple weaseled their way out of a true upgrade with the squared off body. They've gone the Apple Watch route, with the biggest update being an aesthetic one. Except the iPhone isn't even feature-saturated like the watch yet and desperately needs upgrades. The Pros are missing some of the most basic "pro" features expected in 2020-2021.

Has Samsung developed its own LTPO OLED technology? | OLED-Info
Apple developed its LTPO backplane technology for OLED displays to enable power saving of around 5-15% compared to LTPS AMOLEDs. LTPO was adopted in Apple's Watch Series 4 and Watch Series 5 smart watches - with the panels produced by LG Display using Apple's technology and IP.According to a new...
So what? Mi 10 Ultra is a China only phone in case you missed it, so it's not supposed to support T-mobile bands BUT from a technological stand point it really is a beast that show's what's possible today by pushing the envelope.This phone is garbage. Runs Android 10 and it's missing T-mobile bands 66, 71

Big deal. If it were easy, every vendor in the world would have 120 mhz+. But there are significant trade offs in size and weight and battery life. To slap a 120 mhz panel on a phone is not innovation.big deal
120hz on smartphones is viable even without LTPO technology which doesn't really make a huge difference in battery savings anyway. With clever software optimization Apple would be able to use a regular 120hz panel no problem. Just look at the OnePlus 8 Pro.Has Samsung developed its own LTPO OLED technology? | OLED-Info

So what? The specs of this phone are similar to many other android phones. Apple is not about specs, it's about the experience. The companies valuation, revenue and profit, shows they may be on to something with that line of thinking and specs are not the be-all and end-all.
Yeah right.
Most smartphone manufactures other than Apple do use 120hz on at least one phone model. In most cases according to actual consumers the benefits of having 120hz outweigh the cons. I mean most phone manufacturers tried to increase the size of the battery in their 2020 phones unlike Apple which will have smaller batteries in their upcoming iphones.
Specs? I was talking about pushing the envelope, I'm taking from the consumer perspective so I DON'T CARE about things like companies valuation, revenue and profit bla bla. Mentioning these things only shows how weak your excuse is.
Any company can stay and wait, that's not something impressive. Xiaomi is just 10 years old as a smartphone manufacturer and it's already doing impressive things in the industry, that for me as a consumer and somebody that just likes technology in general is way more interesting.

I'm disappointed that the rumored 2021 iPhone SE 3 or SE 2 Plus is being pushed back to 2022. I was thinking of holding off until spring 2021 to upgrade my original iPhone SE but I don't want to wait until 2022 to upgrade. I guess I'll have to look more seriously at the iPhone 12 Mini or iPhone 11 once its price drops after the iPhone 12 introduction.
