The iPhone 12 release date was officially postponed by a few weeks, with a recent leak saying that the non-Pro models could launch in the third week of October while the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max get pushed back even further.
A different leaker now says Apple has started recording its virtual iPhone launch event, a keynote the leaker supposedly attended.
In a series of tweets, the leaker revealed the keynote event date, details about the iPhone 12 specs and design, the camera setup for the iPhone 12 Pro models, as well as a pricing estimate.
Apple is expected to unveil two Mac models powered by Apple’s own ARM-based processors at the event, new iPads, and an unimpressive Apple Watch Series 6. The leaker also indicated that the Apple Card will soon expand to several markets.
The four iPhone 12 models that Apple has crafted for this year’s iPhone launch have been officially delayed. Apple confirmed a few weeks ago that its new iPhones will not make it to stores in late September as planned. Instead, they’ll be delayed by “several weeks.” A leaker who proved time and time again that he has access to Apple sources revealed a few days ago that the cheapest iPhone 12 models may be released in the third week of October, one week after a mid-October launch event. The Pros will supposedly arrive a few weeks after that, in November.
Since then, a different source took to Twitter to spill a bunch of new details about Apple’s upcoming iPhone 12 launch. This person claims Apple has started recording the iPhone event, hinting that the iPhone keynote will be streamed online like the WWDC 2020 keynote, without an audience. That’s understandable, considering that the COVID-19 pandemic is far from being contained and there’s no telling when it’ll be under control. The leaker also revealed a bunch of new details about the iPhone 12 handsets, some of which match previous leaks.

The handsets will not feature 120Hz or 90Hz screens, and they won’t have reverse wireless charging, the leaker said. They’re expected to feature the new A14 chip, more RAM and a better camera system, which matches previous reports. We don’t need any rumors to predict that a new generation of iPhone will have better cameras. As for the memory, some Android devices have already moved to RAM that’s even faster, and that type of memory only comes in 6GB modules or higher. Apple probably wants the faster RAM, and that means an upgrade to 6GB.
