We previously heard rumors that the iPhone 12 event would take place next Tuesday, the 13th of October. This has now been confirmed by Apple.
Apple has sent out invites to next week’s press event, which will be a digital-only online event. It takes place at 10:00 a.m. PDT next Tuesday.
New iPhone Models
We can expect to see a number of new devices at the event. This will include the four new iPhones: a 5.4-inch and 6.1-inch iPhone 12, a 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro, and a 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max. All four devices will come with the new Apple A14 Bionic processor, which promises significant performance improvements and energy efficiency. The top models are expected to include a LiDAR scanner, enhancing augmented reality (AR) capabilities and improving camera performance, especially in low-light conditions.
The design of the handsets will change slightly. They will feature a squarer, less rounded design, more like the new iPad Pro. This design shift is expected to make the devices more durable and easier to grip. Additionally, rumors suggest that the new iPhones will support 5G connectivity, providing faster internet speeds and improved network reliability.
Other Expected Announcements
We are also expecting to see the new Apple AirTags at the event. AirTags are small tracking devices that can be attached to items like keys, wallets, or bags, allowing users to locate them using the Find My app. This new product is anticipated to integrate seamlessly with Apple’s ecosystem, providing a convenient solution for keeping track of personal belongings.
Additionally, the event is likely to feature the Apple AirPods Studio, Apple’s first over-ear headphones. These headphones are expected to offer high-fidelity audio, active noise cancellation, and customizable sound settings. They may also include sensors to detect when they are being worn, automatically pausing playback when removed.
Another exciting potential announcement is a new Apple TV. The new Apple TV is rumored to come with an upgraded processor, improved gaming capabilities, and enhanced integration with other Apple services like Apple Arcade and Apple Fitness+. This could make it a more versatile entertainment hub for the home.
Lastly, we might see the introduction of a new Apple HomePod Mini. This smaller, more affordable version of the HomePod is expected to offer impressive sound quality and smart home capabilities, making it a strong competitor in the smart speaker market. It will likely support Siri, Apple’s voice assistant, and integrate with other smart home devices.

With the introduction of new iPhones, AirTags, AirPods Studio, Apple TV, and HomePod Mini, Apple continues to expand its ecosystem, offering a wide range of products that cater to various consumer needs.
