The rumor mill continues to be dominated by iPhone 12 reports. Now new details about the specifications and release dates have been released.
The Japanese Apple blog Macotakara claims to have received new information regarding the release of the new iPhone generation. According to the report, "several Chinese vendors" are claiming that the iPhone 12 could be announced in the second half of October due to the COVID-19 pandemic—not the usual September. An iPhone 12 with LTE will be available immediately at the launch, while the 5G versions won't hit shelves until November.

The Japanese blog contradicts previous reports that Apple could hold the presentation in September as usual. However, the rumor should be viewed with skepticism for another reason. Macotakara speaks of an LTE iPhone. In addition to the well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, numerous other sources claim that all four devices will have 5G. However, there has been no mention of pure LTE connectivity so far. Although a staggered market launch of the four models is still not ruled out, Kuo himself emphasized that a presentation remains under debate in September.

Meanwhile, a users on Twitter to know the battery capacity of the two 6.1-inch models. According to this, the iPhone 12 Max & iPhone 12 Pro should have a 2,775 mAh battery. However, this value is not new. In mid-July we reported on reported, according to which Apple has registered three new batteries. One of these batteries actually has the same capacity. The discovery caused a lot of discussion, as the new iPhone generation will apparently have smaller batteries overall than previous models.
