The iPhone 12 range may soon go into production, but only certain models

Apple may be about to start producing the iPhone 12, but a report suggests that it will initially only produce two of the four rumored models. This is according to DigiTimes, which claims that the standard 12-inch iPhone 6.1 (which would be called the iPhone 12 Max) and the 12-inch iPhone 6.1 Pro will go into mass production in July or August. The report does not say when they will go into production. the other rumored models (the 12-inch iPhone 5.4 and 12-inch iPhone 6.7 Pro Max), but the two 6.1-inch models being built first doesn't necessarily mean they'll be available first. Instead, production of these models may need to start earlier to have them ready at the same time as their siblings, since they apparently require touch modules that are outsourced from different companies to those who do most of the screen construction. While the 5.4-inch and 6.7-inch models would use Samsung screens with the touch sensor placed directly on the OLED panel, rather than requiring an outer, outer shell.

A delay is possible

Of course, we'd take this rumor with a pinch of salt, especially since DigiTimes has a mixed record, but we expect Apple to start mass production of the iPhone 12 lineup soon. And while this report doesn't necessarily indicate a delayed release or a staggered release, with different models entering stores at different times, both were considered as possibilities, the disruption of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic Apple's usual schedule. . Nothing is known on this front though, and for the time being the usual month of September remains our best guess for at least the iPhone 12 announcement, whether or not you'll be able to buy the phones right now. the.
