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.
