The anonymous Twitter leaker l0vetodream
<https://twitter.com/L0vetodream/status/1308009156486467584> today tweeted
the names of the upcoming iPhone 12 phones. He says that the new iPhone
lineup will be called iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12
Pro Max. The iPhone 12 is expected to be officially announced by Apple in
October. These brand names have been circling around the rumor mill for a
while, but l0vetodream has built up a good track record of accuracy this
year, making this leak particularly notable.
The four names correspond to the expected lineup of four screen sizes. The
iPhone 12 mini would represent the new smaller 5.4-inch model.

power-button-touch-id-coming-to-more-ipads-in-2021/> Ming-Chi Kuo recently
said that the 5.4-inch screen would also come with a smaller notch. The
current smallest flagship iPhone is the 5.8-inch iPhone 11 Pro, and the
upcoming 5.4-inch model will be significantly smaller than that in the hand.
The middle-of-the-road model will be called iPhone 12 and feature a 6.1-inch
display, just like the iPhone 11. However, this year, all of the iPhone 12
devices are believed to feature OLED displays.
The iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max follow the precedent set by Apple in the
last two generations. The iPhone 12 Pro will feature a 6.1-inch display, and
the Pro Max will feature the largest screen on an iPhone to date, measuring
6.7-inches diagonally. All models are believed to be powered by the Apple
A14 chip and support 5G cellular networking. However, none of the iPhone 12
lineup will

with bundled earbuds or charger for the first time.
Apple <https://9to5mac.com/2020/06/28/iphone-12-no-earbuds-power-adapter/>
foreshadowed this move by announcing that the Apple Watch
Series 6 will no longer come with a power adapter, citing environmental
reasons.
The iPhone 12 lineup would have launched in September as normal, if the
pandemic had not caused supply disruption. Instead,

track to ship at least one model in October. The community is expecting
Apple to hold a second media event in the first or second week of next
month.
