In recent years, Apple has become more and more slack in the confidentiality work of the new iPhone, which has caused everyone to guess some of the new features of the new product very early. Of course, this is also closely related to the high integration of the smart phone supply chain and the gradual unification of technology development. That’s right, today’s Apple has strong enough technical support and capital reserves to deal with all challenges from the outside world. Every move is also attracting attention. At present, the next flagship is emerging. For example, this time foreign media 9to5mac broke the news. , IPhone12Pro will be officially released in September, dual speakers + frosted glass, the camera has achieved new breakthroughs, the price is also moving!
Although the iPhone 12 Pro series may not have a 120Hz refresh rate or the legendary Qualcomm X60 baseband chip, the whole series still come standard with LiDAR lidar scanners. According to the layout of the rear camera module of the iPhone 12 Pro series released by overseas blogger @Komiya_kj on Twitter, the two new machines both continue the triangular camera arrangement, and are equipped with LiDAR lasers under the super wide lens on the right. The radar scanner, while the microphone and flash are located above the lens, has not changed much from the past. As for the launch time, it may appear later than the basic model, and it is expected to meet with us around the end of October.
Standard LiDAR lidar scanner
Although there is no suspense that the new iPhone will be equipped with a LiDAR lidar scanner, it was previously reported that only the 6.7-inch version will be loaded. However, it now seems that this may not be the case. According to the layout of the rear camera module of the iPhone 12 Pro series released on Twitter by the overseas blogger @Komiya_kj, the two new phones continue the triangular camera arrangement of the iPhone11 Pro series, and the size is also slightly increased. Large, but they are all equipped with LiDAR lidar scanners under the super wide lens on the right. As for the microphone and flash, they have been moved above the lens. The overall change is not much compared to the past.
Those who know the Huawei Mate series should know that it is the main opponent of the new iPhone, so the overall quality will definitely be polished in place. According to the recent continuous disclosures of various media, there is also a lot of new news about Huawei’s high-end flagship Mate40 Pro in the second half of the year. At present, many of its main parameters can be basically confirmed. This mysterious flagship is emerging step by step. I should meet with us formally soon.
In other words, both iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max will be a combination of rear three cameras + LiDAR scanner. Among them, the upper and lower lenses on the left are wide-angle and telephoto lenses. It is rumored that the sensor size of the wide-angle main camera will be increased to 1/1.9 inches, and the telephoto part will be upgraded to 3x optical zoom. As for the new LiDAR lidar The scanner can make autofocus faster, improve the accuracy of portrait mode photos, and bring AR augmented reality experience.
Basically consistent with the previously exposed news, the new iPhone 12Pro model will support two new 4K slow motion camera modes, adding support for 120fps and 240fps shooting 4K video. In addition, the iPhone 12 Pro adds a new laser focus lens on the premise of continuing the previous generation of 12 million triple shots. They can achieve faster filming speed under the drive of a strong core. The overall look and feel of the photos under the excellent algorithm adjustment It will be even more remarkable, adding night shooting mode, supporting custom background blur adjustment and other elements, these are all new breakthroughs for Apple.
In terms of appearance, from the perspective of the rendering, the iPhone 12 Pro still uses the camera arrangement in the upper left corner of the "Yuba" form, and there is still a certain sense of fragmentation in the vision. The AG process frosted shell greatly reduces the contamination of finger prints, with gold, There are five colors of black, white, blue and orange that can be selected and should also meet the needs of different aesthetic people. The dual speakers are also highlights that we should not ignore. As for the front, Liu Hai has been with Apple for 3 years. Although there was a wave of imitation, it was finally eliminated. Only Huawei and Apple still insist on using Liu Haiping. In fact, such a design is purely helpless. The 3D face recognition component occupies too much area, which leads to the appearance of bangs. Previous rumors say that Apple has implemented an under-screen camera and created a true full screen, but from the current point of view, it seems Not too possible.
In terms of performance, the iPhone 12 Pro is quite powerful. It is equipped with an Apple A14 processor built with a 5nm process and has a main frequency of 3.1Ghz. The Geekbench single-core running score is about 1650 points, and the multi-core running score is about 4600 points. The previous generation's improvement rate reached 33%, coupled with the closed IOS14 system to form synergy, the fluency is also very good, and the performance is the existence of the industry leader. In addition, the iPhone12Pro supports the full Netcom 5G network with the external Snapdragon X55 baseband. In this way, it can ensure that users will not be easily eliminated from using it as the main machine in the next two to three years. Well-known analyst Guo Mingqi also said that iPhone12Pro It will use a large battery and support 20W fast charging, but it is really uncomfortable if it is not equipped with a charging head.
It is worth noting that although Apple has officially announced that the iPhone 12 series will be delayed for several weeks, this may only be a marketing strategy. According to the analysis on Weibo by the netizen @Kang who is familiar with the situation, the feed plan of the new iPhone was indeed delayed by four to six weeks due to the epidemic, but in fact it has little impact on Apple. The most important thing is that Apple hopes to be on the machine. How can we deliver the goods when we stock up, and how can we achieve better results so as to achieve a continuous positive growth in sales without out-of-stock.
The regular models of the iPhone 12 series will go on sale at the end of September after stocking is complete, while the best time for the high-end iPhone 12 Pro series will be the end of October. Although this is only a personal prediction of netizens, it is more consistent with the news previously disclosed by @Komiya_kj. This is that iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Max will accept orders on October 2 and start shipping on October 9. The two high-end versions of the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max will be pre-ordered on October 16, and then sold on October 23.
Not only that, the netizen @Kang also believes that the press conference should be held as scheduled. The delay is only the release time, and also said that the iPhone has always covered the price range of 6K to 10K, but the official forecast that the shipment volume will increase than in the past. 15% to 20%, it shows that Apple will cover more price grades in the new iPhone, which can meet the needs of more levels of consumers.
In summary, this year’s iPhone 12 series of basic models may have surprises in the price. Although the starting price may be the same as last year’s iPhone 11 at $699, the 4G version of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12Max are rumored to be more expensive than 5G. The version will be 50-100 US dollars cheaper, which means that the future 4G version of iPhone 12 may be sold as low as US$599, which is about 4000 yuan converted into RMB, which indeed covers more price levels than last year.
