Rumors that Apple wants to add a new color option to the iPhone 12 series are nothing new. Now there is new evidence to support the suspicion.
While the iPhone 11 is available in six different colors, the iPhone 11 Pro comes in four color options, including midnight green - a completely new color. But the iPhone 12 series - the Pro models to be precise - could also get a completely new color option, namely navy blue. The rumor was first documented in January this year and has been mentioned again and again. Now the Taiwanese news site DigiTimes has spoken out reportedAccording to this, Navy Blue is to be part of the new iPhone generation. It remains unclear whether Navy Blue will replace the midnight green or complement the range. Earlier reports suggest that Apple wants to replace the popular midnight green with Navy Blue. This was claimed by Max Weinbach, who is already known for his accuracy.
iPhone 12: Up to five million units fewer than last year
According to the report, analysts expect the iPhone 12 series to reach 63 to 68 million units shipped by the end of the year. If this estimate is correct, that would be around five million units less than last year's iPhone 11 series. According to the report, this takes into account the expected delay of four to six weeks. Apple itself has already confirmed that the launch of new iPhone models will take place a few weeks later than usual. In this case, the delay is due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic worldwide. Overall, the two cheaper iPhone 12 models are expected to be launched in October, while the iPhone 12 Pro versions will not make their debut until November. Reports from leakers have already supported analysts' expectations. Whether they will ultimately be right remains to be seen, of course, as always. (Image: svetapple.sk)
