iPhone 12: Will the notch get smaller?
But there are now three independent sources that suggest the same month, with leaker iHacktu going a step further and even giving a date. Whether all devices will launch at the same time remains an open question. A staggered market launch in September and October cannot be ruled out.

iPhone 12: LG wants to weaken Samsung's market power
In addition to the DigiTimes article, a new article from Nikkei Asian Review published, which examines the topic of OLED screens. LG is now also expected to enter the production of OLED panels and help Apple weaken Samsung's market power in this area. The report states:
Apple has decided to equip this year's range of iPhones entirely with OLED panels. LG Display, which has suffered six consecutive quarterly operating losses, is expected to meet much of this additional demand. The company will ship 20 million OLED panels this year, five times the volume of last year - according to a source.
