One of the most interesting last-minute iPhone 12 leaks could be a big one for one-time-schoolhouse Apple fans. The upcoming flagship will reportedly bring back Apple'due south MagSafe technology, which was that handy, trip-prophylactic magnetic charging port from your erstwhile MacBooks. The tech will allegedly be revived to deliver a new kind of wireless charging for the iPhone 12 — nosotros're eager to encounter how that shakes out in real world use.
The iPhone 12 could be getting a huge photographic camera upgrade, if recent leaks are to exist believed. Leaker @PineLeaks claims that digital and optical zoom will be getting a "massive boost" this year, and that nighttime mode will exist extended to the iPhone 12's telephoto camera. With the Google Pixel 5 about to release, we're not surprised to see Apple stride up its photo game, particularly in the software department.

According to regular leaker Jon Prosser, Apple may release the iPhone 12 and iPad Air four at the aforementioned time. His theory? Apple doesn't want people to try out the new A14 processor before the new iPhone is out.
It seems like Apple tree doesn't want the A14 in iPad Air to make it into people'due south hands earlier iPhone 12 🧐 Looks similar they're going to be doing pre-orders and shipping iPad Air at the same time as iPhone 12...October 12, 2020
Prosser also suggests that the HomePod mini and the next Apple TV could use Ultra Wideband engineering to track you as you lot move around your dwelling house. Why would y'all want information technology to do this? Well, with UWB built in, the HomePod mini can sync up with other U1-powered Apple devices to assist you find your lost gadgets, apply AR applications, and effectively turn your one-time hardware into smart HomeKit-enabled tech.

Speaking of the Apple TV, 9to5Mac institute reference to what appears to exist a new Apple TV in a leaked build of iOS xiv. If a new Apple tree Goggle box is on its mode, so it's likely to expect the aforementioned every bit the current 1, as an icon added to the Apple tree server is too the same 1 every bit the current Apple TV 4K. Yet, we're non expecting Apple to reveal a new streaming box at today's event, but we're happy to be pleasantly surprised.
Information technology looks like rumors of magnetic wireless charging for the iPhone 12 might very well exist true, as Macotakara has establish images of a wireless charger for the iPhone 12 from Japanese accompaniment manufacturer MPOW. The circular pad seems to sit down in the spot where other leaks and rumors take claimed the iPhone 12 will have a ring of magnets beneath its chassis. It looks like this wireless charger, if the image is legit, will snap-on to the back of the iPhone 12 and thus avoid problems of the phone not charging if it'south not placed correctly on a wireless charging pad.
Apple oracle and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has forecasted that the vi.1-inch iPhone 12 volition exist the most popular of the upcoming quartet of Apple phones. According to MacRumors, Kuo reckons that the 'standard' iPhone 12 volition outsell the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 mini, which we're forecasting will be rather pop, specially for people with smaller easily. Overall, Kuo expects the iPhone 12 range to sell 80 to 85 million units birthday, and thus show Apple'south smartphones are as popular as ever.
While the iPhone 12 might steal the headlines later on on, it's Amazon Prime Solar day, which means y'all can get some rather nice discounts on the iPhone SE — great if you need a backup Apple phone — and the iPad Air also has some money off it. It'southward rare that Apple produces get discounted, so nosotros suggest y'all check these deals out.
As per usual on Apple Result days, the Apple Store is officially down to make way for the new products we'll run into today.
We've got 5 hours to go until the big testify, and in that location are already more than 10,000 eager fans waiting on Apple's YouTube page. Meanwhile, Amazon Prime number Day is in full swing. It'due south a expert day to take multiple monitors!
Ready for another massive last-infinitesimal leak? Evan Blass merely revealed the full iPhone 12 color lineup, confirming many of the rumors we've heard previously.
The iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 will come in black, bluish, green, ruby-red and white, while the Pro and Pro Max will be available in blueish, golden, graphite and silver. I've got my eyes on that blue iPhone 12, merely the iPad Air-esque light greenish is also a standout.
New iPhone 12 colors aren't the merely thing leaking left and correct. Blass also merely gave the states our offset look at the HomePod mini, which sports a slick spherical pattern and comes in both white and grey options. It also looks suspiciously like the new Amazon Echo. I approximate smart sphere speakers are the future?
We've got less than 3 hours to get until showtime, and Tim Cook only shared his event day playlist. Sure sounds like Apple is ready to talk nearly sound products!
Hey Siri, play my event day playlist! Come across you all soon! #AppleEvent https://t.co/CDTYPczjCzOctober 13, 2020
Jon Prosser is at it again, claiming he'll shave his eyebrows off if the AirTags or AirPods Studio get announced today. He was able to avoid this fate during last month'due south testify, but will skilful luck strike twice?
If AirTags or AirPods Studio are announced today, I'll shave off my eyebrows. #AppleEventOctober 13, 2020

The iPhone 12 won't exist the only Apple gadget to drop the charger in the box. According to Bloomberg'due south Mark Gurman, Apple will remove EarPods and charging adapters from the iPhone SE too equally other recent iPhones.
In add-on to removing the charging adapter from the newest iPhones today, look for Apple to exercise the same for the SE and other iPhones it'll go along selling.October 13, 2020
Less than 30 minutes to become until showtime! Here are some last minute hopes and predictions from around the Tom's Guide office.
Henry T. Casey, editor: "[I hope] today's leaks didn't evidence u.s. all the colorways."
Mike Prospero, managing editor: "I hope that Siri can set more than than one timer."
Kate Kozuch, staff writer: "I promise Jon Prosser has to shave his eyebrows."
Personally, I'm also hoping for a few boosted iPhone colors. I'd also love to see a meaning update on Apple tree Arcade in terms of big new games coming to the service. There have been murmurs about an "Apple Arcade Plus" in the past, and I'd be curious to come across what that looks like.
Apple tree's usual serene guild music has started playing, accompanied by a color changing version of the event invite logo we saw terminal calendar week. I think nosotros're going to encounter several circular objects at this show!
This is now our tertiary digital Apple effect that starts with a series of dramatic pans around Apple Park, and honestly, I'chiliad still hither for it. We're seeing the dominicus ascent on the Steve Jobs theater, and triumphant music is playing in the background. New iPhones are upon u.s.!
Looks like we're starting with HomePod mini! Just like the leaks suggested, Apple'southward new smart speaker is a miniature sphere that comes in gray and white with a large indicator upwardly superlative for Siri.
Apple is promising "amazing sound," robust Siri support and strong security. Nosotros're getting a look at the speaker's internals, which include a custom driver as well as an Apple tree S5 chip built to deliver rich sound with minimal distortion. The HomePod mini uses software to control things such equally dynamic range, giving you lot the all-time audio output possible from this tiny lilliputian brawl.
Multiple HomePod mini devices can be paired together, assuasive you to bask audio from throughout the home. And you can use two of them in stereo mode, making it easy to get a more immersive left-right feel when jamming out.
HomePod mini will back up Apple Music and Podcasts, as well every bit third party services such equally Pandora and Amazon (where's Spotify though?). Apple's also discussing how much smarter Siri has gotten, with improve accuracy and speech recognition. You'll be able to inquire Siri "what's my update?" which will prompt the assistant to become over your major calendar appointments, messages and more than.
The HomePod mini is as well built to be a smart home device, assuasive you lot to command your HomeKit devices (such as lights and thermometers) with your voice alone. Now this is cool: at that place's besides an Intercom feature that will let you lot use HomePod to ship vocalisation messages to family members. There'southward no more alibi for junior missing your text about taking the chicken out of the freezer.
HomePod mini comes in white and space greyness, and will sell for just $99 when it releases November 16. That's a pretty sweet deal, though we're eager to see how information technology stacks up to the excellent Nest Audio speaker and the upcoming new Amazon Echo, both of which are the same price.
iPhone time! Cook is going over the usual talking points about how amazing Apple's phones are before finally taking the wraps off of what's next.
"Today is the beginning of a new era for iPhone," said Melt, revealing what nosotros've known for months: the iPhone is finally getting 5G connectivity.
Cook promises that 5G will allow iPhones to be even faster and more secure, and calls information technology the "nigh heady footstep however" for the company's phones. Hans Vestberg from Verizon has taken the stage, and is discussing the "look and run across" approach many accept taken regarding 5G. Vestberg says that "5G just got real," suggesting that iPhone'due south adaptation of the new connection standard volition bring it to the masses.
Nosotros're getting some talking points almost the benefits of 5G, which include upload speeds of up to 200 Mbps under ideal weather and less bottlenecks when getting service in busy areas. Nosotros're seeing the Verizon 5G SuperStadium app, which volition allow for multiple views of an NFL game at one time. And of course it'due south showing a Jets game. Did you actually have to rub common salt in my wounds like that, Vestberg?
Vestberg also merely revealed that Verizon is officially turning on its 5G Nationwide Network, promising fast ultra-wideband speeds no matter where you are in the land.
Now that we've heard how absurd 5G is, it'southward fourth dimension to cheque out the iPhone 12. But like the leaks suggested, nosotros're seeing a ton of dissimilar colors, including blue, green and light red.
Apple's new phone has flat edges a la the iPhone v, but with the thin bezels and notch of newer models. The standard iPhone 12 is 11% thinner and 15% smaller than the iPhone 11, while maintaining the aforementioned 6.1-inch display size. You lot're also getting a Super Retina XDR screen, which is Apple's signature OLED that promises rich dissimilarity and deep blacks. The iPhone 12 promises twice the pixels and much amend brightness than the iPhone xi as well. More importantly, it looks really peachy in blue and carmine.
Other cardinal features include a Ceramic Shield display for better durability, which uses... crystals? to make the iPhone 12'south screen as fissure-proof as possible. Apple says the new phone has 4 times the chance of surviving a drib every bit last year's model. Nosotros can't look to test that 😈
Nosotros're also getting a look at the telephone's 5G-optimized pattern, which includes a Smart Information Manner that tin seamlessly switch between 4G and 5G depending on your location. Based on Apple's testing, the iPhone 12 is already achieving up to 4Gbps download speeds in ideal atmospheric condition.
Fourth dimension to talk about the A14 Bionic fleck. Apple says it's the starting time smartphone bit built on the latest 5nm process technology, which promises better performance and efficiency. It packs in eleven.8 billion transistors, if those are your kind of matter.
Apple calls the A14 the fastest fleck in any smartphone, which, based on our annual tests, is piece of cake to believe. And you're getting twice the graphics power. Nosotros're going through a lot of nitty-gritty tech jargon right now, but just know that the iPhone 12 is going to exist really, really fast.
That also translates to amend gaming functioning for height iOS titles, including a big new 1: League of Legends Wild Rift! That's right, the insanely popular competitive PC game is finally coming to iPhones with a special mobile version. Programmer Riot Games seems actually jazzed virtually the power of A14, which allows them to render iconic characters such equally Ashe at high allegiance. I'k very curious to see how the hardcore League community reacts to this mobile port, and if there will be any interactivity between the ii versions.
Here comes the new camera. The iPhone 12 has a new dual-lens 12MP organisation, with wide and ultra-wide sensor that piece of work together with advanced software for the all-time iPhone photos nevertheless.
The iPhone 12 has even smarter computational photography, including Smart HDR 3 for enhancing shots with more colour and item. Every version of the iPhone 12 will now have Night Mode on both the front and rear cameras, which is a huge upgrade.
Nosotros're now watching a video shot entirely on iPhone 12, which includes all kinds of neat tricks like time lapse, slo-mo and some really shine framerates and sharp colors.
The rumors were true: MagSafe is back! This new wireless charging system works with existing wireless charging mats while allowing you to magnetically attach a variety of bang-up add together-ons.
These include new magnetic cases, too every bit a MagSafe wallet that yous can snap correct to the back of your handset. The new MagSafe Dual Charger is essentially the AirPower that never was, allowing y'all to wirelessly charge two Apple devices at once.
Nosotros're hearing a bit about Apple'southward sustainability plans, which include plans to reach net zero climate affect by 2030. All Apple devices sold will be completely carbon neutral, and the company has been using 100% recycled rare globe materials for select products.
And now it's official: EarPods and ability adapters will no longer come in the box for new iPhones, as Apple tree claims that millions of people already ain these gadgets. That also means a much slimmer iPhone box that allow more units to be shipped at once. iPhones will now include a new Lightning to USB-C cable.
And hither comes iPhone 12 mini, which Apple tree humorously unboxed in a serial of increasingly small briefcases. The mini has the same features every bit the iPhone 12, but within a meaty 5.4-inch pattern that delivers more than screen in a body that's smaller than even the iPhone SE. It's as well the smallest 5G phone e'er. Given the amount of people still clinging to small phones, I take a feeling this one will fly off shelves.
The iPhone 12 will start at $799, while the iPhone 12 mini begins at a fairly affordable $699.
We've seen the more affordable iPhones, only what nearly the fancy stuff? That'south where Tim Cook comes in, as he's dorsum to introduce the iPhone 12 Pro series with a really dramatic rendering that sees the phone literally have over Apple Park.
The iPhone 12 Pro packs a stainless steel design with a glass dorsum, and comes in 4 finishes that includes silver, grey, gold and the new pacific blue. These phones are IP68 resistant to withstand dust and h2o, and have jumped in size to 6.5 inches for the Pro and 6.seven inches for the Pro Max.
The Pro sports a special Epitome Signal Processor for avant-garde computational photography, which should allow for some of the most in-depth image processing we've seen on a phone. Apple tree'southward Deep Fusion technology has come to all four camera sensors on the Pro models for better photos from both the front and back.
The new camera array consists of a triple-lens setup in the back, including a 47% larger wide sensor and better optical paradigm stabilization beyond the lath.
One of the big new features on the Pro models is Apple ProRAW, which combines the benefits of professional-form RAW photography with Apple's own computational photography. You'll take full control over things such every bit sharpening, white balance and colour, assuasive you to fine-tune your iPhone photos more than always before. ProRAW will be a part of the Apple Camera app, and will support third-political party applications. The photographic camera samples we're seeing from ProRAW are really impressive, and I'd believe that they came from a professional camera.
Pro video is also getting a big upgrade with support for x-chip HDR video recording. The iPhone 12 Pro is also the kickoff phone camera to shoot in Dolby Vision HDR at 4K and a smooth 60 frames per second. It'll too exist the first device to permit you edit in Dolby Vision right from the camera app.
Fourth dimension to talk well-nigh that fancy LiDAR scanner coming to the iPhone 12 Pro models. First seen on the new iPad Pro models, this advanced piece of tech allows for greater depth sensing and more advanced AR application. And since it can see in the nighttime, you'll become ameliorate autofocus and capture fourth dimension in low calorie-free, every bit well as improved depth for bokeh Nighttime Manner shots.
Apple is also talking up how the LiDAR scanner will let companies to plan out new offices and workspaces more than effectively thanks to the ability of AR.
So there you lot take information technology, the iPhone 12 Pro is the nigh powerful iPhone ever. But it won't get whatsoever more than expensive, as the Pro starts at $999 with the Pro Max starting at $1099. Pre-orders go alive this Fri, October 16, with the phone launching a calendar week after on October 23.
With the iPhone 12 in the wild, the current iPhone lineup now consists of the iPhone SE ($399), iPhone XR ($499), and iPhone xi ($599) in addition to the new models.
And that'due south a wrap! A whole lot of iPhone info in just over an hr. Did I mention I honey digital events?
We still haven't seen AirPods Studio, AirTags or an Apple Silicon MacBooks, but in that location's always November for that. Until side by side time!
