However, there's a chance Apple's 5G iPhone could be delayed because of coronavirus-related challenges.
Even before Apple unveiled the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro in September, reports had already started to emerge about what the company could be planning for 2020.
But as the coronavirus pandemic continues to upend business for Apple and many other companies, it's unclear whether Apple will be able to stick to its traditional September launch cycle. Supply-chain issues aside, Nikkei Asian Review reports that Apple is concerned that demand for a new iPhone may be weak amidst layoffs caused by the coronavirus. The report says a fall launch isn't off the table and that Apple will make a final decision around May. In a worst-case scenario, Nikkei Asian Review says a 5G iPhone could be pushed to 2021.
Kuo's estimates also indicate the next iPhone won't come in the 5.8-inch screen size that iPhone X, iPhone XS, and iPhone 11 Pro owners have come to be familiar with.Other than 5G connectivity and new screen sizes, another headlining feature in this year's iPhone is expected to be its camera. Apple is planning to equip its 2020 iPhone with a more powerful, rear-facing, 3D camera to enable better augmented-reality performance, according to Bloomberg.
The iPhone 12 may also support the 802.11ay Wi-Fi standard, which enables fast connections over short distances.Apple's next-generation iPhone may support the 802.11ay Wi-Fi standard, according to a report from Japanese tech blog Macotakara. Such networks run on faster 60GHz millimeter wave bands, unlike most Wi-Fi routers today, which use 2.5GHz and 5GHz bands.
