Di lansir dari chnet.com - Dengan Apple tampaknya membocorkan tanggal acara 10 September di saluran YouTube dan  iOS 14  tersedia untuk  beta publik , minat dan spekulasi tentang iPhone 12, 12 Pro dan 12 Max mencapai gelombang besar. (Apple belum mengonfirmasi nama-nama ponselnya, tetapi kami akan menggunakannya untuk saat ini.) Rumor iPhone sangat intens tahun ini mengingat virus korona dan fakta bahwa  Apple mengonfirmasi akan ada penundaan  pada   sekuel iPhone 11 .

Meskipun tampaknya iPhone baru sesuai jadwal untuk musim gugur, kapan tepatnya mereka akan diluncurkan selama musim masih belum diumumkan. Kami biasanya melihat iPhone andalan baru pada bulan September, tetapi di awal wabah, COVID-19 memaksa pemasok di China untuk menutup atau beroperasi dengan kapasitas terbatas. Ini  tidak hanya memengaruhi inventaris pada bulan September  tetapi juga dapat memengaruhi  penjualan . Apple juga menutup  toko ritel AS , meskipun sekarang beberapa telah  dibuka kembali dengan cara yang terbatas .

Terlepas dari gangguan seperti itu dan selubung kerahasiaan Apple, ada beberapa hal yang kami ketahui tentang iPhone 12. Dari apa yang kami lihat tentang iOS 14 sejauh ini, kami dapat mengharapkan ponsel memiliki fitur perangkat lunak seperti  widget , perpustakaan aplikasi, dan gambar- dalam gambar. Rumor perangkat keras tidak resmi termasuk sensor kedalaman 3D pada kamera belakangnya dan ukuran layar baru. Menambahkan   konektivitas 5G juga masuk akal mengingat lawan utama Apple, Samsung, meluncurkan beberapa ponsel 5G tahun ini, termasuk  Note 20 dan Note 20 Ultra baru-baru ini , serta ponsel unggulan  Galaxy S20 .

Sampai semua itu terjadi, periksa kembali sesering mungkin karena kami akan terus memperbaruinya dengan rumor yang paling mungkin dan meyakinkan  

Rumor iPhone 12 teratas

  • Apple mengatakan iPhone 12 akan tersedia "beberapa minggu kemudian" dari biasanya peluncuran pertengahan September. Tanggal rilis Oktober dimungkinkan. 
  • 10 September adalah tanggal pengumuman yang dicurigai.
  • Mungkin ada empat model iPhone 12 dalam tiga ukuran layar yang berbeda: iPhone 12 (5,4 inci), 12 Max (6,1 inci), 12 Pro (6,1 inci) dan 12 Pro Max (6,7 inci).
  • Model dasar iPhone 12 mungkin lebih murah daripada harga awal iPhone 11 $ 699.
  • iPhone 12 mungkin tidak dilengkapi dengan earbud atau adaptor daya.
  • iPhone 12 mungkin berwarna biru tua.
  • Ponsel iPhone 12 mungkin memiliki 5G.
  • Kamera belakang iPhone 12 mungkin memiliki teknologi sensor kedalaman 3D.

Tanggal pengumuman: Mungkin 10 September

Dalam apa yang tampaknya salah langkah di pihak Apple, seorang pengguna Twitter memposting tangkapan layar dari kemungkinan acara streaming langsung Apple yang dijadwalkan pada 10 September . Tanggal dan waktu acara muncul di halaman YouTube Apple, tetapi salurannya saat ini tidak memiliki acara yang akan datang.

Tanggal 10 September akan konsisten dengan pengumuman iPhone sebelumnya, meskipun Apple dapat menunda tanggal pengiriman hingga nanti karena COVID-19 (lihat rumor di bawah). Namun, tidak ada yang tahu pasti. Pembocor seluler lain dan pembawa acara Front Page Tech  Jon Prosser  melaporkan bahwa  iPhone 12 akan diperkenalkan selama acara 12 Oktober  dan akan dirilis pada 19 Oktober, misalnya. Tetapi mengingat bahwa peristiwa 10 September tampaknya berasal dari halaman YouTube milik Apple sendiri, rumor tersebut dapat dipercaya.

Tanggal rilis: iPhone 12 mungkin tidak akan dikirim hingga Oktober

Meskipun pabrikan terbesar Apple, Foxconn,  meyakinkan investor bahwa mereka masih harus membuat jadwal jatuh , The Wall Street Journal melaporkan  bahwa iPhone 12 dapat menghadapi penundaan . Hal ini disebabkan pandemi virus korona dan efeknya yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya pada manufaktur dan permintaan konsumen. Laporan tersebut memperkirakan bahwa Apple mungkin menunggu hingga Oktober untuk mengumumkan atau meluncurkan ponsel tersebut, yaitu sekitar sebulan setelah peluncuran biasa iPhone. 

CFO Apple Luca Maestri mengkonfirmasi hal ini melalui panggilan pendapatan kuartalan, mengatakan, "Tahun ini, kami memproyeksikan pasokan akan tersedia beberapa minggu kemudian" daripada peluncuran pertengahan September tahun lalu. 

Yang lain menyarankan bukan hanya satu tanggal peluncuran tetapi beberapa. Sebuah rumor yang dilontarkan oleh  DigiTimes dan diambil oleh MacRumors , menunjukkan bahwa Apple dapat meluncurkan iPhone 2020 dalam berbagai tahap. Dua model iPhone 6,1 inci mungkin diluncurkan lebih dulu, dengan varian 6,7 dan 5,4 inci datang kemudian. (Untuk mengetahui lebih lanjut tentang spekulasi ukuran iPhone, baca lebih lanjut di bawah.)

Harga: iPhone 12 mungkin lebih murah daripada iPhone 11

Ketika iPhone 11 memulai debutnya tahun lalu, kami terkejut bahwa model dasarnya berharga $ 699, yang lebih murah $ 50 daripada iPhone XR 2018 Tren ini dapat berlanjut, dengan seorang analis teknologi melaporkan bahwa Apple akan memberi harga iPhone 12 seharga $ 649 , iPhone 12 Pro seharga $ 999 dan iPhone 12 Pro Max seharga $ 1.099.

Desain: iPhone 12 mungkin mirip (atau tidak) dengan iPhone 11

Every other year, Apple usually makes notable cosmetic changes to its iPhone to freshen up its look, much to the delight of anticipating buyers. But a report by Japanese publication Mac Otakara, citing an unnamed Chinese supplier, reported that the iPhone 12 will look similar to the iPhone 11. The only possible difference is that the iPhone 12's edges will be slightly bowed.

On the other hand, Apple is also speculated to completely revamp the iPhone's design with flat edges (similar to the new iPads). This could trigger what Wedbush analyst Dan Ives called "the perfect storm of demand," which would drive up sales and result in a "super cycle" for Apple.

Accessories: iPhone 12 may not come with EarPods or a power adapter

In one of the more unpopular rumors, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported that Apple may not include its wired EarPod headphones in the iPhone 12 box. This would be a move to encourage people to buy the company's wireless AirPods instead. Apple has included EarPod headphones since the iPhone 5 release in 2012, so this would be a notable change. AirPod and AirPod Pro earbuds are currently priced at $159 (£159, AU$249) and $249 (£249, AU$399), respectively.

Ming-Chi Kuo expects that the iPhone 12 will ship without a power adapter as well, according to 9to5Mac. The reason is mainly for costs -- by foregoing it, Apple can keep costs down while loading the phone with 5G components. It would also help lower freight costs as the size of the packaging would shrink.

Apple wouldn't be alone in the change. Samsung's Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra also don't come with headphones -- though if you really need a pair, Samsung will send them for free. But unlike the power adapter rumor, the Note phones still come with a charger in the box.

Processor: iPhone 12 will likely have A14 Bionic

Given that the latest iPhones have the A13 Bionic processor, it is highly probable that the next proprietary chipset will be called the A14 Bionic. And like every year, we expect this one to be faster and more efficient than its predecessor. More specifically however, one Apple leaker on Twitter, Komiya, reported that the A14 will have a CPU gain of 40% and a GPU gain of 50%. 

Colors: iPhone 12 Pro may come in dark blue

Last year Apple introduced a midnight green color on the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max. Whether you like the shade or not, the color variant actually sold well compared to expectations. This year there may be a possibility that Apple will launch another new color, navy blue, on the iPhone 12 Pro according to XDA Developer. This would be on trend since blue is both Pantone's color pick for the new year ("classic blue") and Shutterstock included "phantom blue" in its color forecast for 2020.

Specs and display: Four possible iPhone 12 models

One of the more enduring rumors about the upcoming iPhones is that Apple may introduce new screen sizes. One of the iPhone 12s could have a 5.4-inch screen (of the current iPhones, the new iPhone SE has the smallest display, which measures 4.7 inches). And the iPhone 2020 Pro Max could go as large as 6.7 inches (for reference, the iPhone 11 Pro Max has a 6.5-inch display). 

There's also speculation that the iPhone 12's display will have a 120Hz refresh rate and that perhaps the iPhone 12 Pro may have a ProMotion display, which is currently featured on the iPad Pro. Most phones refresh at 60 frames per second, or 60Hz, but other phones, like the Galaxy S20 and the OnePlus 8 Pro refresh at 120Hz. With a higher refresh rate, a phone feels faster and smoother when scrolling through things like web pages and apps.

With the possibility of new display sizes, rumors that Apple will expand its iPhone line have been swirling around. In December 2019, CNET's Lexy Savvides wrote:

According to JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee, Apple will release four new iPhone 12 models in the fall of 2020: a 5.4-inch model, two 6.1-inch phones and a 6.7-inch phone. All of them will have OLED displays.

These size predictions were also backed this week by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who believes the current 5.8-inch size of the iPhone 11 Pro may be going away. So the 5.4-inch and one of the 6.1-inch models will be the lower-end devices, presumably called the iPhone 12. Then the more expensive phones will be the other 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max, respectively.

5G: iPhone 12 may have next-gen connectivity

Several rumors are predicting that Apple will include 5G connectivity this year. More specifically, Apple analyst Ming-chi Kuo expects the company to unveil three 5G phones and Fast Company reported that Apple may use its own proprietary 5G antennas.

There are a couple of reasons why the company didn't jump on the trend in 2019. First, Apple usually isn't the first in on mobile trends, preferring instead to perfect an emerging technology before committing to it. For example, it was behind its competitors in making phones with 3G and 4G LTE connectivity when those networks just launched.

Second, Apple stopped working with the leading 5G modem provider, Qualcommbecause of a dispute over Qualcomm's licensing fees. The two companies settled their litigation in April 2019, and then agreed to a multiyear 5G chip deal. This led to Apple's previous partner of 5G modems, Intel, to ultimately exit the 5G phone modem business altogether and Apple later acquired Intel's smartphone modem business for $1 billion. Apple is still working with Qualcomm, but it got started too late to launch a 5G phone last year when a few of its rivals released their 5G models, like the Galaxy S10 5GLG V50 5G and OnePlus 7 Pro 5G.

Camera: iPhone 12 may have 3D depth sensing

Since the iPhone X, newer iPhones have front-facing cameras that have 3D depth sensing. Known as Face ID, this feature scans your face for unlocking your phone and authorizing digital payments. It's been rumored that Apple may take it up a notch and introduce that same system to the rear cameras. In August 2019, CNET's Vanessa Orellana wrote:

Longtime Apple analyst Ming Chi Kuo (via MacRumors and 9to5Mac) said he expects two of the 2020 iPhones models to have a new time-of-flight camera lens on the back of the phone. The setup would be similar to that of the current True Depth camera system used for Face ID on the front of the phone, except it would use a slightly different type of technology that could allow it to 3D map objects from farther away. This would significantly improve its augmented reality applications and take certain camera features like Portrait Mode to the next level.

Tidak jelas berapa banyak iPhone baru yang akan dilengkapi dengan fitur ini, jika ada.
