To know if it’s worth waiting for the iPhone 12, you need to know some of its rumored specs. From what we know of the next flagship iPhone, it’s set to be on another level. This can all change, of course, but do bear in mind that the iPhone 12 will likely come with 5G compatibility, at least. A selection of rumored specs for the iPhone 12 is as follows:
- 5.4, 6.1, and 6.7 inch OLED screen(iPhone 12, 12 Max, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max, respectively)
- Smaller notches
- Potentially no notch, with front-facing camera behind the screen on the rumored 12 Pro Max
- 120 Hz refresh rate
- 5G compatible
- Better battery life
- 4 GB or 6 GB RAM (iPhone 12 or Pro/Pro Max)
- A14 CPU
- 128-512 GB storage (512 GB on Pro models only)
- LiDAR scanner camera
- Three lenses, four on Pro models potentially
- Rear-facing 3D camera (potentially Pro models only)
- Potentially 64 MP (over 12 MP of previous iPhones)
- iOS 14
If rumors and leaks are to be believed, the iPhone 12 is set to be a huge step up. It should be released around September 2020 and will cost a lot (we mean a lot, based on the specs above). Compared to currently available iPhones, the iPhone 12 family will be far better.
Should I wait for the iPhone 12, though? It depends on your circumstance. If you can afford to get the new iPhone 12 when it launches and can wait a few months, yes. You should wait for the iPhone 12. If you don’t need the top-of-the-line iPhone, however, you don’t need to wait. It’s definitely worth waiting until it releases to save some money on the iPhone 11. By the end of 2020, the iPhone 11 and other Apple smartphones will all be cheaper.
