Much is already known. The smartphones will receive a complete redesign, another unusual camera, updated displays and many other features. In this article, we have collected all the reliable information about the future iPhone. After reading the material, many of you will definitely want to start saving money by next fall.

How many new iPhones will there be?

In 2020 Apple year will again release three new smartphones. About this reported authoritative analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who is famous for dozens of correct forecasts regarding Apple devices. According to his sources, the following will be released in the fall of 2020:

• 5.4-inch iPhone with OLED screen,
• 6.1-inch iPhone with OLED screen,
• 6.7-inch iPhone with OLED screen.

All new Apple smartphones of 2020 will have OLED display. iPhones with LCD displays will be a thing of the past.

Name

Just a few years ago there was no doubt about what Apple would call its new smartphones. The iPhone 5 was followed by the iPhone 5s, and after that everyone was waiting for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s. No surprises, complete stability.

But everything changed after the release iPhone X. Apple began to practice naming. It got to such a point that the company's latest 6.5-inch smartphone is called iPhone 11 Pro Max! If you told anyone in 2015 that the iPhone would soon have such a name, they definitely wouldn’t believe it.

Apple itself seems to like such names. There are currently no obvious leaks about what the 2020 iPhone will be called. Just a guess based on the names latest models iPhone.

Most likely Apple will call the next smartphones iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, by analogy with previous models. The names are cumbersome, but you won’t get lost in them.

At the same time, “starter” and less expensive iPhone model 12 will have a 6.1-inch display. The iPhone 12 Pro is 5.4-inch, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max is 6.7-inch. This was confirmed by the same expert Ming-Chi Kuo.

Design

The new iPhones will have an updated design. Apple will greatly change the appearance of its smartphones for the first time in three years.

The main innovation will be related to the shape of the body. The connecting frame will no longer be round, its angles will be right. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, This design solution will make the new iPhones similar to the already legendary iPhone 4.

Also, the rectangular side edges of the iPhone 12 will be similar to the edges of tablets. By the way, when Apple first introduced iPad Pro 2018 in a new design, experts immediately assumed the imminent appearance of similar edges in the iPhone. This information was later confirmed by other leaks.

The materials used for the iPhone 12 case will change. First of all, the new iPhones will have a metal frame with a more complex design using new casting technology. The frame will connect solid protected glass, which will cover the front and back surfaces of the case.

As Ming-Chi Kuo reported, due to the use of technologies unique to the iPhone, production costs will increase. According to the analyst, the maximum increase could be 60%. How much will this affect the bottom line? iPhone price 12 unknown.

The specialist also emphasized that rectangular frames in the style of the iPhone 4 and new materials will change the appearance of the new products “significantly.” Note that the analyst usually does not throw around such statements. Most likely, we are indeed in for a powerful redesign of the iPhone.

The design of the iPhone 12 will also be refreshed on the front surface. By data insider Ben Geskin, Apple will be able to get rid of the “unibrow” in the next iPhones.

This means that the frame around the perimeter of the screen in the iPhone 12 will have the same thickness. Geskin presented a visualization of such a design solution. It's important to note that this concept is based on leaks and not a confirmed prototype or CAD drawings.

iPhone 12 without “unibrow”

New iPhones will receive significant changes in appearance throughout the body. Ming-Chi Kuo is confident that the redesign will allow smartphones to become incredibly popular among consumers.

By the way, the expert increased his expectations for iPhone sales after a leak about the redesign appeared. Now the specialist believes that in 2020 Apple will sell 85 million smartphones at once. For comparison, in 2019 this figure will be approximately 75 million.

Display

All new Apple smartphones in 2020 will have OLED screens. Leading analysts stated this, and also indicated potential Apple suppliers.

Battery

Battery capacity in new iPhones not yet disclosed. We should expect another increase, as was the case with the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Apple's 2019 flagships received noticeable increased battery life- for four and five hours, respectively.

However, you shouldn’t expect the same big increase in the iPhone 12. The reason is that the new iPhones will receive support for fifth generation networks. The presence of 5G modems in smartphones will certainly negatively affect the operating time without recharging.

Connection

Yes, there was a spoiler above. The new iPhone 12 will be the first iPhones to support 5G. Especially for this purpose, Apple went to a truce with 5G modem manufacturer Qualcomm. Litigation that had lasted for several years was stopped in order to achieve joint cooperation.

Protection systems

Back in early 2019 on the Internet there were rumors about Apple's intention to equip the iPhone 12 with an in-screen fingerprint scanner. According to leaks, the company plans to thereby complement the Face ID facial scanning function, offering users an alternative.

However, there was not a single confirmation of this information from more or less reliable sources. In this regard, for now information about the return of Touch ID to the iPhone is nothing more than rumors.

As for Face ID, there are no confirmed leaks about improvements to the feature in the iPhone 12.

iPhone 12 price in Russia

The most interesting thing is the price. It is highly likely that the cost of the new iPhone 12 will be higher compared to previous models.

Firstly, iPhone 12 is the first model of a new cycle Apple smartphones. Secondly, the cost of production will increase due to the use of new technologies. And thirdly, Apple did not raise prices for iPhone in 2019, which surprised many experts. Probably, the price increase was postponed until 2020 and the first iPhone from the new cycle.

We expect the price of the new iPhones to increase by at least $50.

iPhone 12 price in Russia:

Note: These are estimated prices based on projections and leaks.

• iPhone 12 - from 63,990 rubles.
• iPhone 12 Pro - from 93,990 rubles.
• iPhone 12 Pro Max - from 103,990 rubles.

More accurate information on likely prices for new iPhones will appear closer to September 2020.

iPhone 12 release date

The presentation and release of the next iPhone models will take place according to Apple's traditional schedule. In 2019, Russia was included in the list of countries in the first wave in which new iPhones became available. We expect a similar move from the American company in a year. Thanks to this, you will be able to purchase heavily updated iPhones in Russia in the second half of September.

The iPhone 12 release date is the second half of September 2020.

It is assumed that all three new iPhones of 2020 will be launched at the same time, as in 2019 with the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max.

The passions over the new iPhone 5S and the “cheap” iPhone 5C have not yet subsided, but many are concerned about the question: when will the next model of Apple smartphone appear, and what will it be? Some people expected this to happen this year, but it did not happen. Therefore, the release date of the iPhone 6 is postponed until 2014, in the same year it will officially appear in Russia.

WITH latest rumors You can get to know about the iPhone 6.

It should be said that Apple's actions have become more predictable. As we expected, two models were announced: the flagship 5S and the budget iPhone 5C (in multi-colored cases); iPhone 5S now has a fingerprint scanner and dual flash.

So, the iPhone 6 release date is 2014

It's hard not to notice that the story with iPhone models is developing in a spiral. It is this fact that allows us to more or less accurately predict when the next iPhone model will appear.

Let's look at the history of Apple's handset lineup:

• First iPhone generation- June 2007
• iPhone 3G - July 2008
• iPhone 3GS - June 2009
• iPhone 4 - June 2010
• iPhone 4S - October 2011
• iPhone 5 - September 2012
• iPhone 5s/5c - September 2013.

While common logic tells us that the next model will be called iPhone 6, historical analysis gives a date of September/October 2014. True, Apple may shake things up a little and show the world the iPhone 6 before this date. This has already happened once, remember the iPad 4, which appeared eight months after the launch of the previous model, instead of the expected period of one year. But still, I think that you should save up money for a brand new iPhone by September 2014.

What's new in iPhone 6

So far, rumors about the characteristics of the iPhone 6 are very vague. But we can name five features that Apple is distancing itself from for now. Surely, she is thinking about building her next marketing steps on them.

NFC. Mobile users have long wanted to see in iPhone NFC support. This technology offers many benefits, including mobile payments.

Enlarged screen. Maybe we will see not an iPhone, but an iPablet? Apple still has growth potential. In the next smartphone model we can see a diagonal of 5-6 inches. Apple has smartphones and tablets with different screens. And at the same time it did not suffer from fragmentation. The i-Phablet will certainly strengthen Apple's position in the world of mobile technology.

Increased memory capacity. On the iPhone 6 release date, we want to hear something about 128GB. Although Apple has a harmonious pricing system based on volume internal memory, you can't keep sending memory-hungry users to iCloud indefinitely. For many manufacturers, expanding the memory capacity is a popular move that customers fall for. Another good solution would be the appearance of a slot for memory cards. This would expand the ranks of fans of Apple handsets. I'm pretty sure this will happen. Although…

Wireless charging. It's very Apple-esque and we're disappointed we haven't seen it yet. Apple's main competitor, Samsung, has already implemented this feature for its smartphones. I don't think Apple can afford to lag behind on this front.

Flexible screen. “This is nonsense!” the reader will say. Not at all. Samsung fans are already making noise about the appearance of handsets with flexible screens next year. If this works, Apple won't have to wait long to show off a similar solution. You know,

Apple will deprive four smartphones and two tablets of the new iOS update. The official release of iOS 13 will appear only in the fall, at the WWDC 2019 developer conference. The system will be presented in June.

Nothing is known for sure yet. However, one of the Apple developers told the French publication iPhoneSoft.fr that new version iPhone 5s, iPhone SE, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6S will not receive operating systems.

The insider said that they will be incompatible with the new operating system also iPad Mini 2 and iPad Air IPod. Production of all these models has already been discontinued; only refurbished iPhone SEs appear at distributors from time to time.

The publication's source also said that the new version of the operating system will increase the speed of gadgets by 40%. The beta version will be shown on June 3, and the final version will be shown in mid-September. The large-scale installation of iOS 13 will likely begin in late September or early October.

If this information is confirmed in June, then listed devices can be officially considered obsolete.

Users were surprised that new support will not receive the iPhone SE, which was released less than four years ago, which is contrary to company policy. At the same time, he will receive iOS update 13 model iPhone 6s, whose characteristics are almost identical to SE. Moreover, the iPhone 6s came out earlier.

The fact that the iPhone 5s was denied an update is not surprising. It went on sale in 2013.

The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus launched in 2014 and were incredibly successful in terms of sales. But there is an opinion that the life cycle of these smartphones is initially a year shorter than that of the iPhone 5s.

Both tablets iPad mini 2 and iPad Air, released in 2013. The decision not to provide them with an update is not really surprising.
The situation with the iPhone SE, which was only three years old, was considered strange by users around the world. They suggested that Apple wants to completely abandon support for smartphones with a 4-inch screen. Therefore, I decided not to update it to iOS 13.
Users were not at all inspired by this news. They didn’t like the fact that one of the most beloved, affordable and convenient smartphones would finally disappear from sales. Perhaps it's not even because it's cheap compared to other Apple models.

“I know at least six different people who use the iPhone SE. When I asked them why they chose it, they all said it was best smartphone, which Apple can offer. And no one said anything about its price,” a subscriber under the nickname EatinApplesauce wrote on Reddit.

They objected to him that the development of technology requires a larger format of gadgets to accommodate a camera, front speaker and FaceID sensor. And yet, most of the discussion participants agreed that even in small device It was possible to fit, albeit not all, new items.

“Users who want a small phone don't mind getting the latest innovations along with it. This means using the latest chips, technology and more. Of course, physical limitations play a role, but no one says that a small smartphone should have all the innovations,” KKM noted.

Many commentators agreed with him, confirming that it was a matter of convenience, and not the joy of owning the latest model.

"I want the latest model, but I require a phone that can fit in my pocket. I bet that many people, especially those who do not carry a wallet, will agree with me,” said user Ibly1.

The editor-in-chief of the BigGeek.Ru portal Nikolai Nikolaev admitted that the iPhone SE was a fairly successful phone and sold well.

“And most importantly, it performed excellent functions and worked great. But since it's out of the new product line, I think it's a logical step to remove a phone with such a small screen and try to focus on larger smartphones. Plus, this phone appeared in right time when there were still people in need apple phone with a small screen. Now everyone is so accustomed, judging by what I know and available analytics, to smartphones with larger screen diagonals. Accordingly, the demand for models with small screens is dwindling,” he said in an interview with 360.

Nikolaev called the iPhone SE hardware “more or less suitable.” According to him, these phones are still available for free from distributors.

“And I think that within six months or a year we will see this phone on the shelves. Considering its cost, 20 thousand rubles or even less, it will still be sold,” Nikolai Nikolaev emphasized.

He suggested that the company is launching the iPhone 7 as an alternative smartphone.

“I think he will fill the vacated niche. It's more powerful than the iPhone SE and still meets the company's power requirements to run the latest operating system. The iPhone SE no longer responds to them, and in September, when the new iOS comes out, it will, of course, slow down,” summed up the editor-in-chief of BigGeek.Ru.

Leading analyst at Mobile Research Group Eldar Murtazin expressed the “360” opinion that the iPhone SE model was super successful due to its compact body.

“They sold a lot of them. Even last year it sold very, very successfully, including in Russia. We can say that refusing to support it is actually an attempt to push users to buy more modern models that the company has. Without offering a model of similar size, because the iPhone SE model was often bought precisely for its compactness, as a “dialer” and, to a lesser extent, as a smartphone,” the analyst said.

The reason for abandoning a completely successful model, in his opinion, is big problems Apple on the Russian market. Over the past year, the company has halved its share.

“Last year it was 16%, this year by the end of the first quarter it was 8%. I don't think they will fall any further, but nevertheless, in fact, we are saying that Apple has no other options. They will have to push their loyal audience to abandon old products and consciously shorten their life cycle. They have already been caught doing this when they slowed down the operation of their phones so that people would abandon them in favor of more productive models,” Murtazov recalled.

He believes that Apple does not have similar products that could compare in convenience to the SE.

"I think that iPhone alternatives There is no SE for one simple reason - this model is compact in design. That's why she is in demand. The iPhone SE was bought not only as a cheap iPhone, it was bought for its compactness. The iPhone SE won in this regard. “Seven” looks like just a relatively inexpensive model from Apple, which is not compact,” concluded Eldar Murtazov.

As we know, Apple releases a new version of iPhone every year and Apple never deviates from this principle. But a phrase like “once a year” is a bit vague, don’t you think? Therefore, now I propose to understand the exact release date of absolutely each and every iPhone from the company. I think that it will be very interesting for all of us to understand what the time interval is between the presentation of the iPhone and its release, so to speak, around the world, and of course it will be interesting to know this in particular about Russia.

To make everything easier for you to understand, this information presented in table form. To make everything clearer and simpler for you, here are some explanations:

1. When we talk about the start of sales in Russia, we mean official sales of certified devices.
2. When it comes to the start of sales in the world, the concept of the world means the so-called “first wave,” that is, the countries in which devices appear first.

Release dates for all iPhone models

Model devices	Date presentations	Start date sales in the world	Start date sales in Russia
iPhone 2G	09.01.2007	29.06.2007	NO
iPhone 3G	10.06.2008	11.07.2008	03.10.2008
iPhone 3GS	08.06.2009	19.06.2009	05.03.2010
iPhone 4	07.06.2010	24.06.2010	22.09.2010
iPhone 4S	04.10.2011	14.10.2011	16.12.2011
iPhone 5	19.09.2012	21.09.2012	14.12.2012
iPhone 5S, 5C	10.09.2013	20.09.2013	25.10.2013
iPhone 6 (Plus)	09.09.2014	19.09.2014	26.09.2014
iPhone 6S (Plus)	09.09.2015	25.09.2015	09.10.2015
iPhone SE	21.03.2016	31.03.2016	05.04.2016
iPhone 7 (Plus)	07.09.2016	16.09.2016	23.09.2016

If you remember, the iPhone began to be sold only with 3G models; 2G models were never sold in Russia. This is discussed in a little more detail here.

We can also see increased loyalty towards our country from Apple. An indicator of this is the reduction in the release time of devices in our country compared to each previous year. And by the time the sixth iPhone was released, they had reached their peak, so to speak. After all, by this moment the difference in the output of devices in the world and in our country was only a week! If this is difficult for you to understand, then think about the fact that the iPhone 3GS was released in our country after a period of approximately nine months! The most interesting thing is that at this moment almost the whole world was waiting for the fourth iPhone.

And judging by all this, one might even think that our country would be among the first three countries to receive the iPhone this year. But due to some criteria, which I think even you can guess, this did not happen. These are the criteria:

1. Quite low buyer activity.
2. Considerable instability of the dollar exchange rate.
3. High prices for this very device.

If we talk about the iPhone seventh model, then our country has entered the second “wave of sales,” so to speak. In Russia, a new device from Apple will appear not much, not much later than in the so-called “first wave” countries, just a week later. And this is good, because, given this pace, next year we can get into the top three.

Many people who have just decided to buy an iPhone and want to get acquainted with the entire line begin to be interested primarily in the year of release of all models.

Before the iPhone, Apple had other products that were worth your attention, but when this little 3.5-inch smartphone came out, everyone went crazy.

Every year everyone waited for its release like a new year. Many Yabloko members have not missed a single presentation and are looking forward to the next one.

iPhone release dates

Before I start, I want to say that I will be looking at smartphones in groups. Every iPhone deserves special attention, so let's get started.

We will never forget this year. Was distant 2007 and when it came January 9 Many still did not understand that the era of something great was beginning.

At a time when the minimum memory size was only 4 GB, when RAM was only 128 MB and the most interesting thing was that the processor was from Samsung, and its frequency was only 620 MHz - everyone was just praying for this phone.

Then we saw only minor changes in design and minor improvements in performance. Back then, not everyone could afford to buy such a luxurious phone.


It doesn’t matter that his camera takes pictures in an unknown way, the main thing is that it’s Apple, and then the time began when actors in every film began to use this phone.

• 3 : June 10, 2008;
• 3GS: June 8, 2009.

It seemed like quite recently. Despite the fact that the phones are really outdated, some still use them to this day.

This era of smartphones really took off in its time, and then the new case with glass elements showed everyone what Apple designers are capable of.


Compact but very powerful smartphone occupied top places among smartphones for a very long time. And despite its release year, these two are also very popular now.

• 4 : June 7, 2010;
• 4S: October 7, 2011.

Unfortunately, many people forget these legends, because big screens are already popular now. The characteristics of the two legends are fading day by day in today's market.

These four have one thing in common - they are all equipped with an excellent, compact and convenient for many 4-inch display.


Many people believe that this is simply the golden mean for a smartphone, when the screen is not too small and it is still very convenient to surf the Internet and use applications.

• 5 : September 12, 2012;
• 5S, 5C: September 10, 2013;
• S.E.: March 21, 2016.

Fans of this compact size were very happy about the release of the SE model. Now all the best in one smartphone - the design of the 5S and the hardware of the 6S.

Many were waiting for the era of shovels to come for the iPhone. The dream of millions of people came true and two large phones were born at once: 4.7 and 5.5 inches.


People started going crazy when these new products came out. I had to alter the pockets in my pants so that this giant smartphone would fit.

• 6, 6 PLUS: September 9, 2014
• 6S, 6S PLUS: September 9, 2015.

The second series with the letter “S” showed greater success, because the cameras became better, the RAM doubled and now it is an incredibly difficult competitor for everyone.

The design is reminiscent of its predecessor in many ways, but thanks to new features like moisture protection and a persistent tilt towards the camera, they made themselves felt.


The power of smartphones in this line knows no limits. All performance ratings show these gadgets at the top.

• 7, 7 PLUS: September 7, 2016.

It's no secret that many people want to buy this smartphone. Once you get such a phone, you immediately get a lot of pleasure and find yourself in a little fairy tale called Apple.

Results

Now you know the release dates of each smartphone. You can calmly navigate and understand that even when you buy an iPhone 6, you are not holding in your hands such an old man.

Now, even if you are asked what year this or that iPhone came out, you have a cheat sheet that will always be available to you.
