About the iPhone 12 Rumours
So I'm examining this iPhone 12. It is a dummy model and one thing I'm kind of curious about this? You got the side button here, the volume buttons here, the SIM card tray here, but there's this extra little thing on here and also the port on the bottom is bigger than a lightning connector so, USB-C. Well, that's kind of interesting. Let's dive in. Hey guys, how are you all doing, really? That's just great. You know, I'm doing pretty great today too,
Because the iPhone 12 is coming soon. iPhone cases are a insanely popular accessory. So if you're a company that makes them. You're going to want to release them as soon as possible. Right after the new phone gets released. So you can have that advantage and that's one big reason. Why these dummy models are made, just so companies can try to make. Their products and get them ready to go as quick as possible.
We will see an official iPhone 12. Announcement in September with the release dates lated sometime in October. It is a little bit later this year. Probably due to COVID 19. But it's still coming soon. And it will be a lot of fun. So we're looking at three screen sizes for the iPhone 12. We're looking at a 5.4, a 6.1 and a 6.7,
Which would actually be the largest screen size ever on an iPhone. And overall, just across everything you see. The design language is borrowed from the iPad pro. With the rounded corners and the square edges. Which I think looks really nice. We but more importantly. It just feels really nice. To me, the square edges just feel more secure in your hand. When you're holding the phone.
I was never a huge fan of the rounded edges. Which Apple iPhone started doing with the whole iPhone six release and. They've been doing that ever since. I just, it never felt as secure, especially with that slippery aluminum. It just never felt super secure in my hand. But I still bought an iPhone six plus, whatever. I got over it, I put case on it and. It was nice but this feels good without a case. It feels nice and secure. So I'm excited to see that design language come back. Another cool thing is the screens will all be OLED this year.

That's the speculation. So no more liquid retina display stuff in iPhones OLED across the board. I did notice though that this particular dummy. All three of these, do not show chamfered edges. The kind of like what we had on the iPhone five. So I don't know. If the chamfered edges are going to be in the iPhone 12 or not. I don't know if they just skip that for the dummy designed to save costs. I'm not really sure but we'll see. I'm sure it'll look just fine. It also looks like there's some different materials here.
So there's going to be one 6.7inch iPhone, two 6.1 inches. One's going to be a pro and one's not going to be a pro and then the one 15.4. The non-pro iPhone look like they're going to have this sort of aluminium finish. Whereas the pro models and the pro max are going to have the stainless steel kind of finish. Which would make sense because.
That's what Apple is doing with the iPhone 11 and personally. I would go for the stainless steel cause. I think that just grips better and it just. It looks shiny but you know, aluminium is good too. Another small change not super crazy important is the. SIM tray is located on the volume rocker side and. That's not earth shattering, but normally. It's on the side with the side button. But now it's on this side so, that's a little something that's interesting.
But iPhone something that's a little more intriguing is on. These dummy models the port on the bottom is bigger than a Lightning plug. In fact. It fits USB C. There is talk that Apple will ditch Lightning in favor of USB C. Kind of like what they do on their MacBook pros and on their iPad pros. But there's also rumours that in a future iPhone they're going to go port lets. There's not going to be any ports at all. So would it really make sense for Apple to switch from lightning to USB C. And then just kill off the ports a year later? To me that doesn't really sound right. I think these dummies were just manufactured with USB C based on incorrect rumors. Or maybe it was just manufacturing defect.
But I think we're going to se elightning on the iPhone 12. Okay so that brings us back to the thing. I was talking about at the beginning. What's this? The SIM card is on this side. The SIM card tray, and then there's this bigger thing on this side. Underneath the side button. So I did a little digging into this. And I believe it's the AIPfor a millimeter wave 5G and will talk more about 5G later. But I'm pretty sure that's what this is for. If anyone has any other theories. Okay,

So, let's talk about the display of iPhone. Again, there's going to be three screen size options across four different models and Rumors has. IT that at least one of the models will have Pro Motion. This is a feature that's in the iPad pro right now. And Pro Motion is essentially an adaptive refresh rate feature. That can go up to 120 Hertz. And it will adjust up to 120 Hertz or lower depending on what content is displayed on the screen and 120 Hertz would make everything look. A lot smoother on the screen compared to the regular 60Hertz.
We see on today's iPhone. Now we might not see Pro Motion in all of the models. We'll only probably only see it in the pro models. Which makes sense. It has the word pro in the name. But there's also some talk that we may not see. Pro Motion at all because there could be some R&D issues with it.
Apple iPhone has some higher standards. When it comes to power management and battery life and doing 120 Hertz. Double the refresh rate on your screen. Will suck up battery life way quicker. About two thirds of the responses said no. So, that's something to think about and. If there is an issue with making. This feature work and also maintaining the battery life.
Apple iPhone is not going to do it. Think about when they did the multitasking. It took them a while to get multitasking in iOS. But a big reason they waited and worked on it more was to save battery life so. They're not going to release this feature until. It is good and ready. If it does come out in the iPhone 12. My bet is it's only going tobe on the higher end models and. If we don't see it this year. We'll see it in 2021.
It looks like Apple iPhone is testing out Pro Motion on iPhone. But he also reported the switch has since disappeared. So maybe that was a bug and it wasn't supposed to be. Seen in the first place. Pretty interesting. What about Touch ID? There was rumor about the Touch ID feature coming into the display. Instead of it being on a separate button. We're probably not gonna see that on the iPhone 12 though.

We could see that in the future. But I doubt we'll see that on the iPhone 12. It'll just be Face ID for now. I'm just going to flip these guys over now because. I just like looking at the backs. They're kind of shiny. Anyway, the next things. Want to talk about is kind of a weird topic because. I don't think I've seen any other smartphone do this.
Apple is rumored to not ship the charger with the iPhone 12. We're not going to see headphones in the box either. But there's also talk that there's not going tobe the USB power brick. There's also talk, we may not even see theLightning cable. Period, but there's also a rumor saying that. We may see the lightning cable. But it will be designed with a new braided look.
So there's some mixed rumors of iPhone here about. Whether or not we're going to see the cable or the brick. Personally, I still think we're gonna get a Lightning cable cause could you imagine. Being a first time. iPhone user and you come home and you use it and then. It's dead and you have no way to charge it. That would just be stupid. But on the flip side forus existing iPhone users. We probably have a ton ofthese laying around the house. So it doesn't matter.
So why would Apple iPhone do this? Well, for starters, not including that stuff in the box. Will keep production costs down a little bit. But also it'll help keep the box smaller. Which means you can fitmore boxes in shipments. Which is good for the environment and another thing too. Is it will reduce E-waste so. A bunch of these don't end up in properly just being thrown out or whatever so. That will cut back on E-waste. Which could be good for the environment. But here's another reason. WhyI think they're doing this.
If they're truly going to go portless which, it's Apple iPhone. I bet they are. That means everything's going to be charged wirelessly. You won't need a physical plug anymore. So I think keeping the charger, the physical plugin charger out of the box is kind of like a transition strategy. To get people ready for a fully wireless phone. They kind of started pushing that when they removed the headphone Jack and. Then they started selling air pods and all that good stuff.
See this Apple Airpods pro
So, this actually opens up the possibility for Apple iPhone to ship a new charging accessory. Maybe we'll see air power, come back. It also opens up the possibility for other companies to start manufacturing. Their own wireless chargers for the iPhone. More than what we have right now and you know.
It may sound silly that Apple iPhone is killing off a certain feature. And they're now going tosell you the fix to it. But that's kind of what they did with the whole AirPods thing. You know, they killed off the headphone Jack and. Now they're selling wireless headphones. And they're making billions doing that and other companies are selling. Their own wireless headphones as well.
I bet you, within two years of Apple iPhone killing off all ports on their phone. You're going to see most. If not all comparable smartphones portlets as well. All right, let's about 5G. The iPhone 12 will have 5G. The antenna bands are actually bigger than on the iPhone 11 making way for the 5G connectivity. Now again, we have thisAIP on the pro max here. I don't see it on these models. And that enables millimeter-wave 5G. Which has faster than sub-six 5G. We're not a hundred percent clear about that yet. We'll find out more in September, but bottoms line between subsix and millimeter-wave. You're going to get 5G on the iPhone 12 and with a Qualcommmodem, not an Intel modem. Apple did switch toIntel a little while ago for their LTE connectivity,
But it looks like Apple iPhone is going to be switching back to Qualcomm now. And there is actually this crazy legal story as to. Why they did the switch in the first place. But that's a whole different rabbit hole of a conversation, but you're in luck. Renee Ritchie did a good video about this. So go check that out after this one. Okay, time to talk about the camera system. In fact, these really aren't iphones with cameras anymore. They're cameras with phone. I don't even make phone calls on my phone anymore. Anyway, not a lot of biggest changes this year, hate to burst your bubble butt here's still a few things. The optical zoom is going to go from two X to three X. Which will help you zoom in a little bit better without digital arti fact's or anything like that. So that's nice.
In iPhone. There was also some code in iOS 14. That suggests 4K video at 120 frames per second. And 240 frames per second. Which means you can get really slow motion with those new camera updates. So those are some small things. But the bigger thing is LIDAR. LIDAR is a feature that's on the iPad Pro right now. Which enables you. Depending on what software you're using to create these really fast, seamless, real time, augmented reality experiences. Which is pretty sweet that.
See this Apple macbook Air 2020
That could be coming to the iPhone now. But these dummy models don't show any LIDAR sensors. But I'm willing to bet. We will see LIDAR in the Apple iPhone 12. When it's officially announced. Probably just on the pro or even just the pro max. So let's keep our eyes peeled for that but with time after the 12 release. We will see LIDAR get rolled out to the other devices.
