This is just a bunch of BS from Apple.  They are not saving the environment because they just announced a USB-C charger to go with the new phones, for an additional $19, after they increased the price of the most popular model by $130.  The USB-C cable doesn’t work with the older USB-A chargers, that everyone apparently loves to claim that people have hundreds of lying around.  When I sell my old phone, I include the charger, cable, and earphones so the new owner can use them with the phone.  It’s nice to get a new charger, cable, and earphones with a new phone purchase. Now Apple is going to make people buy them as accessories, not really saving the environment at all.  

Many reviews say it rarely activates since it listens for running water and tries to detect hand motion.  But if you need a watch to tell you how to wash your hands, you’ve got bigger problems.  We all learned as children how to wash.  

"However, previous reports have claimed that the two 6.1-inch sized models will be the "iPhone 12 Max," and the "iPhone 12 Pro.""

That would be unlikely.  The iPhone 11 is already 6.1".  So why would they call a new 6.1" phone, 'iPhone 12 Max'?  That would only make sense if the new 5.4" model was called 'iPhone 12' and the 6.1 model 'iPhone 12 Max'.  But again, you would not have one 6.1" phone be called 'Max' and the other 6.1" phone not be called 'Max'.  It would be a marketing nightmare.  Think about it...two side by side 6.1" phones and the person asks, "Why is this one Max and this one not, when they are both the same size"?  Doesn't work.  Too many models to begin with.

Take 2020 iPhone SE and move touch ID to power button like 4th Gen iPad Air which let you increase the screen size and call it Mini Plus but keep the same SE price point $399.. Those on older iPhone and android users will love to buy.

You won't see TouchID in the power button on any iPhone.  The button is too thin.  The only reason they did it with the iPad is because the device is much thicker and can have a wider button.  Not a wise choice for TouchID because once those devices hit the market, I am sure people will say the 'con' is accidentally turning off the iPad trying to authenticate by putting too much pressure on the button.  Even when it was in the Home button, you tell someone to rest your finger on the Home button for TouchID and they would by habit click the button instead.

It is amazing this 'leaker' has been able to predict iPhone launches in the Fall...considering Apple has been releasing iPhones in the Fall since the 4S back in 2011.  I don't think anyone needs a 'leaker' to tell them they are typically released in October.  Even when COVID started, Apple announced that iPhones would be delayed from the normal September release.
