The iPhone 12 is expected to appear in 2020, but the US securities company Rosenblatt Securities predicts that up to six models have been developed.
Possibility of 4G compatible iPhone 12
All models of iPhone 12 will be compatible with the next generation communication standard 5G, and it was just reported that 4 models will be sold the other day, but according to Rosenblatt analyst Jun Chan, it is the transition period to 5G next year Considering this, the possibility of up to six models is considered.
Mr. Chang pointed out the possibility of the next 6 models of iPhone12 being sold.
- iPhone12 4G-6.1 inch LCD and dual camera
- iPhone12 Pro 4G – 5.4 inch OLED display and dual camera
- iPhone12 Pro 5G – 5.4 inch OLED display and dual camera
- iPhone12 Pro Plus 4G – 6.1-inch OLED display, trip camera and ToF (Time of Flight) sensor
- iPhone12 Pro Plus 5G – 6.1-inch OLED display with trip camera and ToF sensor
- iPhone12 Pro Max 5G – 6.1-inch OLED display with trip camera and ToF sensor
Chang predicts that the iPhone12 Pro Max 5G will have a 6.1-inch display, which is in conflict with prominent analyst Minchi Kuo.
Mr. Kuo predicts that the iPhone12 will be 5.4 inches, 6.1 inches (2 models), and 6.7 inches, and that the model with the largest display (Pro Max) will be 6.7 inches.
Apple is said to be working on multiple projects for the launch of the iPhone next year, and Mr. Zhang commented, “Which model is actually sold is currently unknown.”
Does the 4G and sub-6GHz models adopt a different housing from the millimeter wave model?
According to Chang, not all iPhone 12 5G compatible models support both “sub 6 GHz” and “millimeter wave”.
In this regard, Mr. Chang's view is consistent with Mr. Kuo's. Kuo said that iPhones that support both sub-6GHz and millimeter waves will be released only in the five countries of the United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the UK, and the same frequency in countries and regions that do not support millimeter waves We expect the band to be disabled.
Mr. Chang also touched on the material of the iPhone12's housing, and said that 4G and sub-6GHz compatible models will use alloy frames.
The 5G millimeter-wave model is expected to adopt a steel frame with holes to improve the passage of radio waves.
The 5G model is expected to require approximately 30% more parts than the 4G model. Broadcom and Murata will be used for the sub-6GHz model, and Qualcomm and Avago parts will be used for the millimeter wave model.
