Foreign media Phonearena interviewed a number of Wall Street analysts today. Among them, DA Davidson analyst Tom Forte said: The iPhone 12 mini recently revealed may be the model that only supports 4G networks in the previous rumors.
In addition, Bank of America analyst Wamsi Mohan believes that the price of the highest-end iPhone model (which may be named iPhone 12 Pro Max) may rise by nearly $100, which will reflect the cost of the iPhone’s millimeter wave 5G components, and said that “pricing is always Apple’s largest The unknown”.
The report pointed out that most analysts believe that Apple will make the iPhone 12 series prices consistent with last year’s models. But Forte does not think it is necessary, because Apple already has a cheap iPhone SE, so he is more optimistic about the iPhone 12 price increase.
In addition, the well-known whistleblower @MauriQHD also expressed support for the price increase theory, saying that the iPhone 12 will be priced at around US$999 (the iPhone 12 mini will still remain at around US$699).
Analyst Rosenblatt predicted last year that Apple will launch six models this year, including two phones that only support 4G (or iPhone SE+iPhone 12 mini).
Regarding configuration, the batteries used in the four iPhone models have not changed much from last year, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max may become Apple’s largest mobile phone so far. The two Pro models may be equipped with LiDar sensors to enhance the AR experience. In addition, Forte said that upcoming models may have “new video capabilities” based on 5G.
In terms of the market, Apple expects that its product lineup in 2020 will usher in strong demand. Many analysts are optimistic about this, including Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, who expects 350 million users worldwide to upgrade in the next 18 months To the new iPhone.
According to previous reports, the new generation of iPhone models may provide stronger camera/video specifications. Apple is expected to release the new iPhone 12 in mid-October, but the Pro series models may be delayed until November.
Therefore, Phonearena speculates that iPhone 12 may usher in fierce competition with Google Pixel 5, OnePlus 8T and Samsung Galaxy S20 FE.
