Apple Inc on Tuesday launched its next-generation iPhone 12, with faster 5G connectivity that the California company hopes will spur consumers to trade in their old phones and keep its sales booming through the end of the year.<\/p>\n
The core of the line-up, the iPhone 12 with a 6.1-inch display, will sell for $799, while a \u2018Mini\u2019 version with a 5.4-inch screen will be slightly cheaper at $699. A \u2018Pro\u2019 version with three cameras and a new 3-D \u2018lidar\u2019 sensor starts at $999, with the largest \u2018Pro Max\u2019 starting at $1 099 and going up to $1 399.<\/p>\n
The new products will test whether Apple can ride a wave of consumer excitement around 5G wireless data networks, whose speediest variants outstrip their predecessors\u2019 data rates multiple times over.<\/p>\n
But whether iPhone buyers see a dramatic speed boost will depend heavily on where they are and which carrier they use \u2013 what Bob O\u2019Donnell, head of TECHnalysis Research, called \u201clots of little niggly details that get in the way of delivering on the promise of 5G.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said Apple may be setting some customers up for disappointment when phones ship but offer only modest speed increases until carriers build out networks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
