Apple will debut the iPhone 12 series today and part of what we expect to see when the device finally gets released includes the 5G wireless connectivity which will be blazing fast as it’ll support the mmWave technology even though it’s not entirely popular in the US for now.
The virtual event will hold at 10 am PT (1 PM ET or 6PM BST) but there is nothing yet about the pricing of the devices. The main reason for the the virtual event is due to the COVID-19 pandemic which had sent major events online and this won’t be the first that Apple will do this year because the WWDC 2020 was also held online.
The upgrade of the iPhone 12 series includes 5G capability and advanced display specs which is definitely going to be one of the main selling point of the devices. We also learnt that there will be four different models of the iPhone 12 series with different sizes making Apple join up with the Android smartphone makers who releases numerous smartphones every year.
