As the world awaits Apple to announce the launch date for its much-awaited and slightly-delayed iPhone 12, new reports suggest that the first shipment of final units is going out to distributors on 5 October. According to Apple insider and tech analyst Jon Prosser, the shipment includes “iPhone 12 mini 5.4 (definitely the final marketing name) in 64GB/128GB/256GB and iPhone 12 6.1 (64GB/128GB/256GB)”. He claimed that the first iPhones to hit the stores are going to be the iPhone mini, which is the 5.4-inch version and the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Max. Apple is expected to launch its new iPhone 12 series in South Korea earlier than its usual schedule.
