I think this is the first I've heard about separate 4G LTE and 5G variants of the same models. Another whole set of SKUs to worry about.

3-4 colors

3 storage size options each

Are there still different models depending on the carrier???

Different models for different regions worldwide

Now double all that because of 5G/No 5G variants

That's an awful lot of SKUs

Definitely waiting until new models come out...unless my 9.7” Pro keeps having this background refresh / battery overheating problem on 13.5.1

I'm getting tired of the teasing now. Feels more like punishment to continually rumormonger this machine for March to June of 2021. Still so far away.

So true. I want to update my iPP and was looking at this fall. But if the miniLED version gets bumped to Jan-Mar then I’ll wait. Then if it gets bumped to Apr-June, well I’ll have waited that far, might as well hang on. But if it slips longer, well I might wait until the fall when the new ones come out. Oh, but the fall was just a spec bump, the real new ones will be in the winter....

I’m glad my iPP is running so well. It might be a while before I replace it.

Looks like a killer lineup!

Apple has basically everything covered!

From the very affordable iPhone SE to these 4 new iPhone 12 and 12 Pro models coming later this year!

There is something there for every need and every budget!

And if anybody thinks that the lineup is too complicated, then allow me to suggest that their comprehension and understanding is too limited. This lineup is very simple and easy to understand.

They do not have everything covered, if this rumor pans out.  I want a 5.4” pro, which is lacking in this line up.  Could care less about 5G, but want the better cameras in a smaller phone.

I can imagine a simpler line up:
5.4”, 6.1”, 6.7”... all the same hardware wise except for screen size, battery size, color, and price.

Wait, are you trying to tell me that cheaper iPhones may not have the same internals as more expensive iPhones?? I FOR ONE AM SHOCKED.

This lawsuit will go nowhere because harm cannot be proven, because 2x2 is not inferior, and because it’s not defective. Funny how no other phone makers get sued over this sort of stuff, even though 2x2 is obviously more widely used ...

They know it won’t go anywhere. What they’re looking for is the sweet spot where Apple decides its worth paying to make them go away.
