The launch of the iPhone 12 could be affected this year 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic that we have been suffering for months, and that we will continue to suffer for much longer than anyone imagined 4 or 5 months ago. According to the Japanese blog MacOtakara, the new iPhone 12 will be announced this year in mid-October instead of September, as has been the case for many years.
They also tell us that among all the models there will be LTE versions and 5G versions. The latter will arrive in November, a few weeks later from the 4G-LTE model that would be launched in mid-October.
Both would have Apple’s A14 chip, a further evolution of Apple’s ARM SoC that would be built with a manufacturing process of just 5nm by TSMC, with LPDDR5 RAM, considerably faster than in previous versions. The A14 marks an important step in the history of processors designed by the company because it will be the first iPhone that coexists with Macs that will probably use the same chip or an even faster version of it.
The truth is that if this is true, a delay of a month or two seemed pretty little if we take into account the nightmare of the year that we are all living with this pandemic.
