Rumors announce an iPhone 12 “mini” for this year

Next September the annual conference should be held in the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park where Tim Cook unveils the newiPhone. It is at this time that a quartet of high-end devices will then be presented to the public, offering the iPhone 12 in more or less affordable versions. The most expensive would be the 12 Pro Max, and the cheapest theminiin question.

In addition to this family, the iPhone 9 and the successor to the SE are also expected, which could bring the number of new products to six if we combine all the rumors that have been published until today.

What technical sheet for the iPhone 12 mini?

Like what is done at theiPad, the concept ofiPhone 12 miniwould thus be to design a device very similar to the original model, in a more compact form factor and close to the SE 2. 5G would also be on the program,even if it is not yet available in France.

As for the components, they would almost all be similar to those of the versions with a larger screen, apart from the photo sensor. This could in fact be less powerful or have areduced number of objectives(only two against three like on the 12 Pro). On the program therefore:OLED panel andA14 processor.

Would you buy this smaller iteration of Apple's next flagship? It could be emulated, given that the small iPhones were still convincing many buyers at a time when their competitors had already moved to 6 inches, which Cupertino will do in 2017.
