Apple is expected to make the switch from LCD panels in the base iPhone 12 model(s), using OLED panels across the entire line this year. The OLED displays are brighter, have better color contrast and deeper blacks, and all things considered, are a big upgrade.
Apple announced its A14 Bionic processor will power the latest iPad Air, and we have to assume that Apple will also use that same processor in the iPhone 12 lineup.
There’s been speculation off and on that the iPhone 12 Pro line could feature 120Hz ProMotion display technology, but it’s starting to look like Apple isn’t going to include it in any models this year. The most recent report from Prosser claims the faster refresh rate didn’t make the cut. That’s backed up by a recent note from reputable Apple analyst Ming Chi-Kuo that claims the feature was left out due to concerns about battery life.
Finally, the new LIDAR sensor that Apple uses in the current iPad Pro lineup is said to make its way to the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max. Using the camera, Apple and developers will be able to create better augmented reality applications, thanks to the 3D scanning technology the camera brings to the line.
