iPhone 12 Pro details revealed; a massive upgrade over iPhone 11 Pro

We’ve seen several leaks and rumors surrounding the iPhone 12 series before. Now, fresh information about the higher-end model, referred to as the iPhone 12 Pro, has emerged online. If these details turn out to be accurate, this device could become Apple’s most advanced and powerful iPhone to date, second only to the iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Multiple online reports suggest that Apple is likely to hold its annual iPhone launch event in the near future, despite the ongoing pandemic. Earlier this year, during the coronavirus crisis, the company successfully launched the highly anticipated iPhone SE 2020, which indicates that this year’s plans for the iPhone 12 lineup are unlikely to be affected. The Cupertino-based giant is expected to unveil the iPhone 12 series, which will succeed last year’s iPhone 11 lineup.

We’ve come across several iPhone 12 leaks and rumors over time, and with the recent emergence of information about the iPhone 12 Pro, anticipation is high. If the leaked specs are confirmed, this model could easily be Apple’s most impressive iPhone yet, following the iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Display, and more subtleties

Android smartphone makers have been competing heavily in the screen refresh rate race, and now Apple is reportedly preparing to join the contest with the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max. According to a report from EverythingApplePro, the upcoming iPhone 12 Pro is expected to feature a ProMotion display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The report also suggests that Apple will introduce enhancements to Face ID along with upgraded camera systems.

The leaks indicate that the new Face ID technology will support a wider field of view, allowing the device to be unlocked from more angles. This improvement is designed to make it easier for users to access their iPhones even while performing other tasks.

iPhone 12 dispatch could postpone by “months” due to coronavirus pandemic

The iPhone 12 Pro is rumored to feature a 6.1-inch display, while the larger iPhone 12 Pro Max yes, a MAX model is coming is expected to sport a 6.7-inch screen, likely with the same 120Hz refresh rate. The standard iPhone 12, on the other hand, is anticipated to come with a 60Hz display, which aligns with its more affordable pricing, making it the entry-level option among the three.

Smartphones such as the OnePlus 8 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S20 already offer 120Hz refresh rates, providing smoother scrolling, enhanced gaming performance, and better multitasking experiences. Apple entering this space signals a step toward matching these high-performance displays.

While Apple has not officially revealed full details about the upcoming iPhones, reports suggest that this year’s lineup will again consist of three models: the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max. The company has yet to confirm the 2020 launch event, but sources indicate it will take place, potentially with a slight delay due to the ongoing pandemic.
