The release of the iPhone 12 series will be delayed by at least two months, and this year's iPhone launch will start in November instead of the usual mid-September, according to a new report from investment bank Cowen.
Previous reports have estimated that the launch and mass production of new iPhone projects have been delayed by 1 month due to the ongoing novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic.
The new report also predicts that total production will reach 35 million in the second quarter of 2020, down 13 percent from a year ago.
Regardless of the actual release date of the iPhone 12, we should see four new models, all of which will support 5G connectivity and feature OLED panels with smaller "bangs".
Screen sizes range between 5.4 and 6.7 inches, with two 6.1-inch models in between. In terms of design, it will likely be a square case design similar to the iPad Pro.
On the internal front, Apple is expected to debut the A14 chipset based on the TSMC 5nm process.
The entry-level 5.4-inch and 6.1-inch iPhone will have 4GB of RAM, while the high-end 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch models will get 6GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. There is also talk that the 128GB basic storage option will replace the current 64GB.
