Shulou(Shulou.com)05/31 Report--

As long as we keep in mind that these phones will not be released for the next 10 months, in the case of Apple iPhone 12, things are already starting to happen. In other words, any rumors we hear now may not be consistent with the specifications we found in the final version of the phone. At the end of last month, when the sun was still fine, we sent the latest rumors about the iPhone 12 series in the Nikkei Asia Review.

Perhaps the most important change in iPhone next year is support for 5G. The next-generation wireless connection is currently being tested in every state, but it will change on December 6th, when T-Mobile and its outgoing CEO John Legere will switch to 5G coverage for 200m people. To ensure that 5G iPhone models are compatible with mmWave and 6GHz bands, the 5G iPhone is expected to carry Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 5G modem chips. They will also be powered by the A14 bionic system chip, which will be designed by Apple and manufactured by TSMC using a 5-nanometer process. The reduction in the number of processes means that more transistors can be installed in integrated circuits, making them more powerful and energy efficient. Therefore, compared with the 7nm A13 Bionic, the 5nm A14 Bionic will be more powerful and consume less battery life.

Barclays also expects next year's "Pro" model to support time-of-flight sensors.

Barclays analyst Brian Curtis (Blayne Curtis) and members of his research team traveled to Asia to meet with companies in Apple's supply chain and released research reports to clients that were reviewed by MacRumors. Curtis and others were able to find content that matched the early leaks, which usually showed that they had some truth. According to the Barclays report, both iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max will have 6GB memory, 50 per cent higher than 4GB on iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Barclays also said that all iPhone 12 Pro models have 3D maps on the back, which means both models use ToF sensors. Guo Mingji, a reliable Apple analyst at TF International, said the same thing last summer.

Using ToF technology, you can send infrared signals to objects and calculate the time it takes for them to bounce back and return to the phone. Based on these data, 3D maps and more reliable depth information can be generated. This can enhance the blur effect on the portrait, enhance the AR effect and the backward version of Face ID. According to reports, the original depth camera system currently used by Apple is different from the Face ID, and it is reported that the ToF sensor will use VCSEL (Vertical cavity Surface emitting Laser). This allows Apple to provide a secure face recognition system that can scan faces 15 feet away, while the Face ID can scan faces within a range of 25 to 50 centimeters.

Small gaps and four camera settings for iPhone 12.

The Barclays report also mentioned that production of the iPhone SE2 will begin in February. The "budget" iPhone is based on iPhone 8, with a 4.7-inch LCD display and a resolution of 750inch, 1334 (high definition). Of course, there will be no Face ID, but the touch ID fingerprint scanner will follow. This is not to say that the device will not be upgraded at all; it will be powered by the same A13 Bionic chip as the 2019 iPhone, with 3GB memory, while iPhone 8 will have only 2GB memory. TF Kuo expects Apple to provide gray, silver and red storage capacity for the 64GB and 128GB models. He said the price of the equipment should start at $399.
