Rumors about the new iPhone 12 have been flying for a while now. One recent leak predicted that the next-gen smartphone will feature a dark-blue iteration while other Apple insiders are whispering about the iPhone 12’s high-end model sporting a 6.7-inch screen, offering high refresh rates and supporting 5G connectivity. But there’s only one thing we can do to find out the truth — wait until mid-September. Before you get too excited, the upcoming event is titled “Time Flies,” which suggests we’ll see a new Apple Watch. There is no mention of the iPhone 12, which is rumored to arrive a few weeks later.

When is the Apple event?
The Apple event is scheduled for September 15 at 10am PT/1pm ET. Given the title of the event, the company is expected to unveil the new Apple Watch Series 6. The event will likely be a digital-only event, similar to Apple’s WWDC keynote event. For this mid-September iPhone 12 event, Apple could unleash four iterations of the next-gen iPhone: two lower-end models with 5.4-inch and 6.1-inch screens and two higher-end models with 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch displays. The higher-end models reportedly have the most exciting specs, of course, including a triple-camera array and LiDAR technology. There’s also a chance Apple will host a separate iPhone 12 event later in the month or in early October. We’re crossing our fingers for a new iPad Air 4 refresh and the unveiling of the long-awaited AirTags.
