As for brand spanking new Apple Watch and iPad, Prosser said that Apple may announce them via press releases within the week ranging from September 7th. The tipster added, “with the staggered release of iPhone 12 and uncertainty of ultimate dates for professional models, there’s an opportunity that the dates could slip/change.” So take the news with a grain of salt.

In related news, it’s being speculated that Apple may launch only 5G models of iPhone 12 series this year. the marginally affordable 4G iPhone 12 lineup will reportedly launch early next year. The handsets are tipped to be priced at around $800 (approx Rs 60,000), while their 5G versions will accompany a sub-$1,000 (~Rs 75,000) tag for the bottom variant.

Coming to the specifications, this year’s iPhone 12 series is claimed to incorporate four models. All of them will reportedly sport OLED displays and A14 Bionic chipset at their core. a number of the models may even get 120Hz refresh rates. The handsets will presumably run iOS 14 out of the box and are available with upgrades within the camera department, battery, and fast charging support. The face ID sensor is additionally expected to urge a wider field of view and therefore the handsets should support a minimum of 18W fast-charging.
