The British operator EE has assured in an internal video for its employees that Apple is just a few days away from the next launch of the iPhone 12. And it does so by indicating that it will be a very large one that will include 5G technology. This is a confirmation that we could consider “official” as it is a very important Apple partner in Europe.
An imminent release for the iPhone 5G with Eddy Cue’s cameo included
We are just days away from Apple’s next biggest launch, an iPhone 5G, which will be a huge push for 5G. Teams throughout Consumer have been preparing all year to win this launch and be Apple’s number one partner in Europe.
Marc Allera, CEO of BT Group and owner of EE, thus addressed his employees in an internal video echoed by MacRumors. These words are surprising for being someone so high since he publicly says something related to an iPhone yet to be revealed . This is not an interview with the media, but it was evident that there was a high probability of leakage abroad.
That the iPhone 12 will have 5G connectivity is something that all the rumors already take for granted. And it is also believed to have cost implications, increasing them for each unit of iPhone . Reason for the removal of the wall adapter and headphones included in each box.
In any case, another highlight of this chapter is that Eddy Cue made an appearance in the video to the employees in the US He congratulated the company for being the first telephone operator to include Apple services in its offering. Specifically, it has a plan called “Full Works” that includes subscriptions to Apple Arcade, Apple TV + and Apple Music in their individual versions.
These types of agreements are intended to expand the subscriber base when a service wants to find other avenues of growth. So we will surely see similar agreements in other countries.
Event for October 13, according to a leak to AppleInsider
In addition to this, that Allera indicates that there are just “days” left for its launch is reason for a more detailed inspection. The company sends invitations to virtual events at least one week in advance. And it is very possible that sales will start that same week or the next. With the calendar in hand, we will most likely see an event for the week of October 5 or 12, launching a few days later.
These dates seem to fit with a tip made to the publication AppleInsider. According to a person who claimed to work for an operator in the Netherlands , the company will have its next event on Tuesday, October 13. And the reservations of the iPhone 12 would begin the same Friday, October 16.
The publication has had no way of verifying these claims. Although they have been able to see that the message contained an IP associated with the operator in question. Of course, these are dates that seem to coincide with the mathematics associated with the expected iPhone event this year.
