RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – Apple is expected to introduce a new lineup of iPhones at a virtual media event on Oct. 13, according to a variety of media reports. Watch out for 5G.
“The press invite says ‘Hi, Speed,’ suggesting the rumors of 5G iPhones are true, since 5G is a next-generation cellular network that promises faster data speeds for things such as downloading and streaming games and movies,” reports CNBC.
The new phones will include 5G – next-generation broadband wireless – with two different varieties, Juli Clover of MacRumors adds.
“The iPhone 12, which will be the more affordable iPhone model available, will come in 5.4 and 6.1-inch size options. The 5.4-inch iPhone will be the smallest iPhone that Apple has released in years, and rumors suggest it could even be called the ‘iPhone 12 mini,'” MacRumors says.
Four versions of the iPhone 12 in three different sizes, according to MacRumors.
“Since the new iPad Air, eighth-generation iPad, and Apple Watch Series 6 have already been announced, the October event is expected to be Apple’s iPhone-centric event with Apple introducing the new iPhone 12 lineup,” reports MacRumors, the largest website focusing on news about Apple.
The event is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. EST.
