As we get closer and closer to October 13th, the day on which Apple’s ‘Hi, speed’ event is scheduled to take place, speculations & leaks begin to emerge with greater detail than ever.
Like every year leakers from around the world start to pour in their intelligence and insights to the media in an effort to educate people about upcoming products. This saga started last year when a rumoured “iPad Pro – like” design for the iPhone 12 started making headlines.
Now we are days (not even days, hours now!) from Apple’s suspected iPhone event. Following the trend of the yesteryear leaks have gotten even more refined and accurate at the very end, right before the actual event.
Kang, a profound leaker on Weibo has confirmed quite many things about the upcoming flagship from Apple and consolidated in a very detailed report. The report has been translated to English and brought to the attention of mass media courtesy of Ben Geskin.
Kang has a track record of over 97% with 49 reports, making this leak extremely believable. However, my advice to the viewer is to take this with a grain of salt. There is nothing “confirmed” till the actual event takes place.
The report mentions quite a few points and we here at Appleosophy have organised them for you to read more easily.
