In just over 24 hours, Apple will present its new iPhone 12s in a virtual Keynote. A later event than usual, which obviously does not resist leaks before it kicks off.

New technical details emerge
It's (once again) confirmed: All four iPhone 12s will have a Super Retina XDR OLED display - the same as the iPhone 11 Pro. But now he's figuring out that they'll also benefit from a new "Ceramic Shield" glass meant to protect them from scratches.
5G will also be de rigueur in all launch countries. In the United States, however, the iPhone 12s will support millimeter waves. In any case, software optimization will allow these new smartphones to intelligently switch between 4G and 5G networks so as not to drain the battery too quickly.

In terms of battery life, the iPhone 12 Pro is expected with an additional hour of endurance compared to their predecessors. The iPhone 12 Mini, on the other hand, is expected to perform worse than the current iPhone 11.
In the area of photography, Kang reports that the Deep Fusion algorithm as well as the Night Mode have been extensively revised and improved. Also, the iPhone 12 Pro Max could offer much better quality shots than the iPhone 12 Pro thanks to a "47% larger sensor".
In a joint leak, the well-known Max Weinbach also reports that enormous progress has been made in digital zoom, which this time could reach 30x.
All of this will be confirmed tomorrow at 7 p.m. French time.
What do we think of Clubic?
After months of rumors and other rumors, we're not sorry that the deadline has finally arrived for the iPhone 12.
About them, we've heard it all. Smaller notch, 120 Hz screen, disappearance of the Lightning port in favor of USB-C, return of Touch ID ... so many alleged "leaks" which, if all have not yet been denied (the screen on high display frequency in particular), turned out to be a bit too optimistic.
Either way, this new generation of iPhone will mark two important turning points for the Apple brand: finally getting rid of its LCD models, and embracing 5G in order to prepare for the years to come. All this, a priori without modifying its price list.
