Eh the LTPO panels are supposed to use a lot less battery (and if they put a decent sized battery in this time) no reason the battery shouldn't be close to the 11 line (the 12 battery is weak since they shrunk the battery) even with the 120hz and always on display.
Got a tip for us?

My dream phone would be the mini with the big camera sensor from the Max. Sucks that I have to buy a gigantic phone to get the best sensor.
You mean your first born?
Yeah my money Is ready IF for the mini we too get matte black!
I think only the iPhone 3G/3GS, 5, and 7 had either a deep Black or Matte Black.
I have the Pacific Blue and Graphite iPhone 12 Pro. The blue is nice, but the graphite looks so good - it almost seems like a different device as it looks so much more premium and classier.
Is it? It's just a name. Does it matter?
There's already a Galaxy S21. Is iPhone 16, 23 or 28 any different?
I'd personally just call them iPhone and iPhone Pro and drop the numbers completely. They will be differentiated by their model number, year and design. But this will never happen. Because marketing.
1. Definitely loving the sound of bringing back touch id as an option with face recognition. Touch ID will be very useful in these times of mask wearing which might be a norm for sometime.
2. Love the Matte Black colour. looks great.
3. I bet that orange colour they are talking about is more of a "copper" coated plating considering they have gold and rose gold. I said it first... LOL
This could be very legit, I can see apple doing something like that. And here's why I suspect Apple is looking at possible COPPER plated phones.. It has VIRUS killing properties. now that is a good feature in selling phones in these hand santiizing times. There's many studies on Phones and other touch devices that have been proven to be harbouring more dangerous microbes than a toilet seat...go figure... check this article on copper properties fight against viruses and I think more devices will implement it as an option. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-copper-antimicrobi-idUSKBN22K0RX

Had nearly every iteration of iPhone since the ‘07 model that started it all. Always went with black (or space grey). My pacific blue 12 Pro was the first time I strayed from space grey. While a really nice finish, hue, I’ll be returning to the dark side on my next upgrade. Especially if we get matte black. Oh my...
It does seem Apple has an opportunity to move/evolve from the silver aluminum computers. Now that everyone else has followed that trend, it’s time to switch it up. Matte black MBP please. Thanks.
Totally agree. Just like they do with their other products; MacBook Pro (year), iMac (year), etc. Especially since they refresh iPhone yearly, just go year + name: the 2021 iPhone - not unlike cars. The 2021 4Runner. Not the 4Runner 12s plus.
iPhone XS carries little in the way of relatable significance. It’s just ambiguous marketing naming that offers zero connectivity. Whereas the 2019 iPhone is at least grounded in a parameter, time, to which all users can relate.
At the end of the day, they could call them whatever they wanted and they’d still fly off the shelves.
Wouldn’t the new form of LiDAR-reliant Portrait mode be heavily software-based and thusly incredibly easy to bring to the same models in the 12 series?
…Maybe I know nothing. But this is sketching me out as a 12 Pro Max owner who feels like that feature could easily be added to his phone, while also knowing Apple LOVES to keep software-reliant features locked onto their latest gen to incentivize purchase.
Oh well. These features look great; excited for anyone who can get their hands on a phone as beautifully designed as this one.

Ma’an if there is such a colour late 2021 for iPhone I swear you’ll have so many ppl angry at you!
Exactly! It’s time lol. It’s funny because I love the color gray / space gray whatever, but matte black anything looks sooo much better especially Apple products.
This has to be the year.
Nope, it was, I saw my details on the shop’s waiting list. Didn’t have to pay for it before it was delivered either. Problem was that the 12 Pro was almost completely out of stock worldwide, I couldn’t find any neither on Amazon or at the local shops where I live.
True - but not all. I haven't used a case or screen protector on my iPhones since the iPhone 6. Plus, Apple needs to have attractive promotional materials.
Apple has been wildly inconsistent with their black/space grey/graphite options. Now, this is likely due to my colorblindness, but beginning with the iPhone 8/X series, the "Space Grey" actually looks like a dark brown in most lighting conditions. I welcome a truly black phone like the iPhone 12 (non Pro).
Oooooo, BLACK! I do like that.
(Side note, I've seen rumors as of last night, so called 'leaks' that Orange will be the new um, Pacific Blue this year??)
Err..if true, well...yes, BLACK please!!
We'll see.
