After months of anticipation, Apple is set to unveil its latest iPhone — number 12 to be exact — which will be capable of connecting to a much faster 5G cellular network.

Investors, in turn, are hoping this new capability — and range of options — will peak demand.

CNET is predicting the following from the iPhone 12:

  • Four iPhone 12 models: It’s possible that four iPhone 12s will be launched on Tuesday: the iPhone 12 Mini (5.4-inch) the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro (6.1-inch), and the iPhone 12 Pro Max (6.7-inch). For comparison, there are only three iPhone 11s: the iPhone 11 (6.1-inch), the iPhone 11 Pro (5.8-inch) and the iPhone 11 Pro Max (6.5-inch).
  • Increased refresh rates: There is speculation that the iPhone 12’s display will have a 120Hz refresh rate and a ProMotion display, which is currently on the iPad Pro. Most phones (including the iPhone 11) refresh at 60 frames per second, or 60Hz, but some, like the Galaxy S20 and the OnePlus 8 Pro, refresh at 120Hz. The higher the refresh rate, the faster and smoother a phone feels when scrolling through apps and websites.
  • Better cameras: As is typically the case with new iPhones, you can expect the iPhone 12’s cameras to be upgraded over the iPhone 11. The iPhone 11 has a photo Night Mode and an ultrawide-angle camera that can add extra detail in photos, along with a great video camera. There have been rumors that the iPhone 12 may add a time-of-flight camera, like the Galaxy Note 10 Plus has, to help capture depth information. This could do a number of things like help with AR mapping, but could also mean you finally get the ability to have portrait mode in video.
  • The addition of 5G: One of the iPhone 12’s expected biggest new features is next-generation 5G cellular connectivity. Apple’s event invitation starts with “Hi, Speed,” leading many to believe that the new phones will finally get 5G connectivity, as virtually all new Android phones arriving in the US already have. This means the phones could tap into the high-speed wireless network on the go.

The 2019 iPhone 11’s base model cost $699, which was $50 less than the 2018 iPhone XR. It’s possible that this trend of lowering prices will continue: One tech analyst reports that the iPhone 12 base model (the Mini) will cost $649, the iPhone 12 Pro will cost $999 and the iPhone 12 Pro Max will cost $1,099. Here’s everything we know about iPhone 12’s price so far.

Analysts surveyed by FactSet, on average, predict iPhone revenue will rise 15% to $160 billion in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1, reported the Wall Street Journal. That is about $6 billion shy of the record set in fiscal 2018, when the $1,000 iPhone X helped bolster sales even as shipments failed to reach a new high.

Some analysts, however, aren’t so sure. They express doubt that customers will run to 5G without a “must-have” application or service. It’s also still to be determined how the pandemic could affect sales. It delayed production of the flagship phone earlier this year, which led to Tuesday’s unveiling being delayed to October from its traditional September date.
