How much will the iPhone 12 Mini cost? Here's everything you need to know about the smallest iPhone in the upcoming iPhone 12 series.
Apple’s September event has come and gone, and as many of us expected, the company did not announce new iPhones as it usually does. Nevertheless, it is becoming clear that Apple still has plans to hold another event, probably in October where it will announce the new iPhone 12 lineup.
While we already know that Apple is rumoured to launch four new iPhones this year, and now a new leak reveals the name of the smallest iPhone in the iPhone 12 lineup. Well, the smallest member in the next-generation iPhone will be called iPhone 12 Mini.
Excited about the iPhone 12 Mini? Here’s everything we know so far about the Apple iPhone 12 Mini.
Apple is launching an iPhone 12 Mini
The smallest model of iPhone 12 is going to get the name 'Mini'. Well, the information came from Twitter user Doan Rye, who allegedly published Apple's "silicone case stickers", which included the names of new iPhones and hand-labeled screen sizes. One is for the iPhone 12 mini, while the other two are for the iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 12/12 Pro.
The "money" scheme is not new. Apple has been using it for years for its popular devices such as the iPad mini, iPod mini and Mac mini. We wouldn't be surprised if Apple took the name "mini" for the smallest iPhone in the iPhone 12 lineup. There is a huge collection of users who want a phone with a small screen size. Yes, Apple already sells small iPhone S in the market but its design is already in history. For those users who want a flagship phone the size of a 5.4-inch small screen, the iPhone 12 Mini may be an ideal option.
iPhone 12: What to (and not to) expect from Apple’s flagship series
The iPhone 12 Mini won’t be cheap
For the first time, Apple will launch the 5G iPhone this year. However, many believe that the iPhone 12 Mini will probably be the only 4G model. Although nothing has been confirmed yet, the 4G-single model is much more meaningful. Superfast 5G connectivity can cost آئی 100 more on devices like the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, Apple needs a flagship phone that caters to the mainstream crowd.
Analysts believe that the iPhone 12 Mini could start at 6 699. For reference, the iPhone 11 started at $ 699 when it was released in September 2019. And don't forget that Apple already has a 4G-only iPhone SE on the market, starting at $ 399.
The iPhone 12 Mini will be powered by A14 chipset
The ‘budget’ iPhone 12 Mini will be cased in aluminium and will arrive with the latest Apple silicon- the A14 Bionic chipset. The phone will come with an OLED screen, a dual-camera setup, smaller notch and an iPad Pro-like design with flatter edges. Ming-Chi Kuo claims that none of the models come packaged with a charger. That will be sold separately.
When will be the iPhone 12 Mini launch?
We don’t know the official launch date yet, but in the last few days, multiple reports have claimed that the iPhone 12 event is for October 13. The iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12 will likely go on sale towards the end of October and the Pro models will seemingly go on sale sometime in November.
