2019 is the first year of 5G. The absence of 5G support for the iPhone 11 series makes the outside world look forward to iPhone 12 series. It is widely rumored in the industry that this year is the most powerful year in the history of the iPhone. Not only has the number of models reached a record five, but four of them support 5G.
A few days ago, in the latest report, Guofeng Ming, an analyst at Tianfeng International, once again predicted that Apple will release 5 new iPhones this year. He also says, Mingming Guo said that among Hon Hai Group, Fu Zhi Kang Group is responsible for new product development, Hon Hai is responsible for assembly and shipment, and Fu Zhi Kang Group’s new iPhone NRE is expected to benefit from the increase in new iPhone models and changes in the release cycle.
4.7-inch LCD models (iPhone 9 or iPhone SE 2) in the first half, 5.4-inch and 6.1-inch OLED dual rear camera models (iPhone 12 series), and 6.1-inch And a 6.7-inch OLED rear three-camera model (iPhone 12 Pro series). Except for the 4.7-inch LCD models that do not support 5G, the other 4 models will support 5G.
Guo Mingxuan pointed out in the report that Apple will release new iPhones supporting both mmWave and Sub-6GHz (both equipped with Qualcomm X55 baseband) in the 2nd half of this year. Because the SMT (Ship Technology), housing, and antenna design of these two models are different, the overall new product development is more complicated than in the past.
He predicted that the iPhone 12 series shipments will reach 80-85 million units this year, of which the shipments of models supporting the mmWave version account for 15-20%. As a comparison, the iPhone 11 series shipped 75 million units in 2019.
According to previous foreign media predictions, the 5G iPhone will be divided into the iPhone 12 series ($699- $799) and the iPhone 12 Pro series ($999- $1099), all equipped with A14 chip and released in September 2020.
Among them, the iPhone 12 series includes 5.4-inch OLED iPhone (rear dual camera), 6.1-inch OLED iPhone (rear dual camera). The iPhone 12 Pro series includes a 6.1-inch OLED iPhone (three rear cameras, including ToF) and 6.7-inch OLED iPhone (three rear cameras, including ToF). In terms of appearance, the design of the iPhone 12 Pro series is updated, and the fringe is even smaller.
