October 13, 2020 – Apple has pinned the date to announce iPhone 12 through a virtual live stream event at 10:30 PM IST (10:00 AM EST). As soon as, I received the invitation couple of days back, what brought my attention was “Hi, Speed”. It clearly indicates a launch of 5G enabled iPhones for sure. The hint could also be related to data transfer or communication among apple devices to improve Apple Eco System.

Apple releases iPhones line up always in September, but due to pandemic, the production chain was badly damaged as China had to shut down factories including Foxconn. However, The company managed to host WWDC 2020 event in September, despite the chaos going around. The event was limited to iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple One subscription service – no iPhone talk.

As I mentioned earlier, Foxconn is running 24 hours operation model to meet the iPhone 12 production tight deadlines. COVID 19 pandemic has caused a major delay in the production and supply chain.

Now what to expect in terms of iPhone 2020 event? – I would say 4 models as mentioned below are likely to launch in the upcoming event. The prices are expected to be in the same range as last year.

In India, iPhone 12 pro and 12 Pro Max base model will cost around Rs 100,000 & Rs 110,000 respectively. Except for iPhone 12 and Pro which have preorders date in the same week of launch, Apple fans would need to wait for rest of the lineup. The iPhone Mini and 12 Pro Max are likely to start preorders in the coming month of November – most probably in the first week or mid of the month. And Yes! I am also hopeful for 120Hz display in the Pro Max model as one of the exclusive features for ultimate users.
