In 2020 Apple will be able to launch 6 different iPhone 12 models
Over the past few days we have been talking about the possible arrival of four iPhone models with OLED display in 2020. Now, in a statement to investors, from Rosenblatt they have included two more models, so let's talk about a total of 6 different models of iPhone 12.
Among them, we will find the successors of the iPhone 11, the iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro Max, along with a cheaper model with LCD screen and a couple of models that will not incorporate the 5G connectivity technology.
In this article we will talk about each of the models that Apple could market during the next year, as well as the nomenclatures that indicate the rumors.

The 6 2020 iPhone models
The rumored iPhone SE 2 sper be one of the first to arrive, its launch is scheduled for March 2020 and consist of a phone with 4G connectivity, a screen LCD 5.1 inches and an individual camera. Be equipped with an A13 processor and is likely to implement a Touch ID fingerprint sensor.
Jun Zhang, an analyst at Rosenblatt Securities, says that despite the great popularity of Apple's cheaper smartphone models (especially the iPhone SE) the second-generation iPhone SE will not be as “attractive as the iPhone 11” for consumers . Mainly because he believes that smartphones with 4G connectivity will see a large each in sales in China during the year 2020.
The analyst also believes that the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro models will be offered in different versions that will include 4G and 5G. But all of them will have a screen OLED and multiple cameras.
Features of the 6 iPhone 12 models
This is the list of Apple's mobile phones of 2020 based on Rosenblatt Securities predictions:
iPhone 12: a cheaper phone with 4G connectivity, 6.1-inch LCD screen and an individual camera.
iPhone 12 Pro: a model with 4G connectivity, 5.4-inch OLED display and a dual camera.
iPhone 12 Pro: Another model with 5G connectivity, 5.4-inch OLED display and dual camera.
iPhone 12 Pro Plus: a smartphone with 4G connectivity, 6.1-inch OLED screen and a triple camera with ToF functions and 3D sensors.
iPhone 12 Pro Plus: a version with 5G connectivity, 6.1-inch OLED display and a triple camera with ToF functions and 3D sensors.
iPhone 12 Pro Max: a latest model with 5G connectivity, a 6.1-inch OLED screen and a camera with three ToF and 3D lenses.
It is difficult to imagine that Apple will use the nomenclatures "Pro", "Plus" and "Max" in the same line of iPhone, however it is simply a way to differentiate some models from others. We recently discovered that Apple could launch a model called iPhone 9 that would replace iPhone 12 on this list, a nomenclature that will have a certain logic considering that it is a natural successor of the iPhone 8. At least in terms of design, since not being as similar to the iPhone SE as we expected.
Leaving the nomenclatures aside, it is also possible that Apple will increase the screen size of the “iPhone 12 Pro Max” model to 6.7 inches. Although in the Rosenblatt Securities list only include 6.1-inch models.
The transition to iPhone with 5G connectivity
Jun Zhang, from Rosenblatt, pointed out that his predictions suggest that Apple is working on multiple projects but "does not have a clear idea" of what model, version and when they will reach the market. Everything indicates that most of them will launch in September, but the iPhone 12 Pro with 5G connectivity could be delayed until spring 2021.
The evolution to 5G connectivity involve some design changes Main of the iPhone, according to Rosenblatt, Apple incorporate different components in these models with respect to the iPhone with 4G. In theory, 4G models will use an aluminum frame, while 5G models will have a stainless steel frame with holes that will help improve mmWave signals.
Finally, we conclude that the 2020 iPhone line incorporates a slightly larger battery thanks to the reduction in the size of the ITM Semiconductor protection circuit.
