Massive iPhone12 leak reveals key specifications for all 4 models

The iPhone 12 is the most anticipated phone of the year, partly because Apple is expected to offer four models in 2020. Now, a major leak has revealed the display resolution and other screen details for each size of the iPhone 12, while also confirming other key features and pricing.

In a post by Ross Young, founder and CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants, the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 will be "Apple's most successful launch in years" due to its 5G connectivity, OLED display, and potentially low price of $649. The post states that the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 will be "Apple's most successful launch in years. Below are details on all four models.

The standard iPhone 12 will reportedly feature a 5.4-inch flexible OLED display made by Samsung Display. Previously leaked as a supplier to BOE, Young says the panel will use Y-OCTA technology and the touch sensors will be built directly into the display; the resolution of the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 screen is rumored to be 2340 x 1080, which would be an upgrade from the iPhone 11's 1792 x 828 pixel panel.

Young reiterates some of the other rumors we have heard about the iPhone 12, including sub-6GHz 5G technology, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB/256GB storage. We can also expect Apple's new A14 Bionic processor and dual rear cameras; the $649 price tag isn't bad, either, as the iPhone 12 is expected to be the first iPhone to feature the new A14 Bionic processor and dual rear cameras.

The iPhone 12 Max would be a direct successor to the iPhone 11, as it would feature the same size 6.1-inch display. However, DSCC reports that Apple will drop the LCD this time around in favor of a flexible 6.1-inch OLED panel sourced from BOE and LG Display. This panel will likely have an additional touch sensor and a resolution of 2532 x 1170 pixels.

The iPhone 12 Max is expected to cost $749, and for that price you will reportedly get an A14 Bionic chip, 4GB of RAM, the same dual rear cameras as the regular iPhone, plus 128GB to 256GB of storage. In other words, the only real upgrade of the iPhone 12 Max over the iPhone 12 is likely to be the size of the display.

Ross Young says the iPhone 12 Pro will ship with a Samsung flexible OLED with both 10-bit color support and Y-OCTA built-in touch. In fact, Young believes this will be the first phone ever to support 10-bit color. As has been rumored for some time, Apple may decide to call this display XDR, meaning Extreme Dynamic Range.

The iPhone 12 Pro will reportedly have the same 2532 x 1170 resolution as the iPhone Pro Max. Unfortunately, while the iPhone 12 Pro may offer a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, Apple may not adopt LTPO technology. Samsung's Galaxy Note 20 is rumored to support LTPO, which would give its flagship an advantage. Previously, Young tweeted that only Samsung's flagship models will feature LTPO in 2020.

Other features of the iPhone 12 Pro include 6GB of RAM 128GB to 512GB of storage, a 64MP main sensor and a quad camera array that includes a LiDAR time-of-flight sensor for enjoying the iPhone AR app. It also supports both sub-6GHz and millimeter wave 5G and is expected to start at $999.

Last but not least, the iPhone 12 Pro Max will feature a huge 6.7-inch flexible OLED display from Samsung with a resolution of 2778 x 1824 pixels. This panel will also support 10-bit color, Y-OCTA, and XDR capabilities. The model also lacks LTPO functionality, which may affect battery life.

The iPhone 12 Pro Max will have the same quad camera array as the regular iPhone 12 and the same dual-flavor 5G connectivity. However, the larger 6.7-inch screen would demand a premium price starting at $1,099.
