be able to unpack
the
iPhone 12
at the event in mid-September.
But now a
concrete start date is emerging
.
Apple
* presented new
iPads
and two new versions of the
Apple Watch
*
at its latest event
.
But
Apple
CEO
Tim Cook
* did not have the
product most eagerly awaited by many
: the
iPhone 12.
But in October the time of suffering for
Apple
fans should come to an end.
On October 13, the group will present the latest generation of its globally popular smartphone, reports the US news portal AppleInsider, citing a whistleblower.
After that,
Apple
board member
Eddy Cue
is said to have made a
flying
visit to the British mobile communications provider
EE

The US blogger Jon Prosser also expects another Apple event on
October 13th

Advance sales for the devices should begin on October 16, the iPhone 12 Mini and the iPhone 12 Max will be on sale from October 23.
According to Prosser, they will be delivered as early as October 23rd.

iPhone 12 Pro Max

The prices for the different versions could be between 649 and 1399 dollars, depending on the equipment.
Apple: The Pro versions of the iPhone 12 will probably come later
Different start dates for different product variants are
not unusual
at
Apple
.
In the case of the just introduced iPads, the Californians decided to bring the iPad Air 4 to the stores later than the iPad 8, which was introduced at the same time. The iPhone also had different launch dates in the past.
Observers expect
Apple
to plan a third event in the fall after the event for the iPhone 12.
Then the group could unveil the first Mac computers with its own chip architecture.
Among the Californians, displeasure with
Intel had
recently grown.
The chip manufacturer repeatedly had difficulties meeting the announced delivery dates for new chip generations.
In addition, the Intel chips are considered to be relatively energy hungry.
The company hopes that the change to the ARM architecture will provide more performance and significantly better battery runtimes as well as advantages in terms of development.
For
iPhone
* and
iPad
, Apple has been successfully using ARM for a long time.
