Wedbush at first believed Apple would launch a variety of 4G and 5G ‌iPhone 12‌ models this fall. Following re-examination of Asian supply chains, analysts Daniel Ives, Strecker Backe, and Ahmad Khalil revised the predictions, concluding that they now expect multiple 5G ‌iPhone 12‌ models this fall, and one cheaper 4G-only model in early 2021.

Ives told Business Insider that this 4G-only variant could launch around February, and will be cheaper than 5G ‌iPhone 12‌ models, with a cost around $800. He added that the 5G ‌iPhone 12‌ models are unlikely to be more expensive compared to the current prices of iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, regardless of the additional connectivity features.

"Price points will be aggressive as Apple goes after their broader customer base," Ives commented. "Especially in a recession, in a COVID-19 backdrop, they want to make certain they're hitting all price categories."

A total of four OLED iPhones in 5.4, 6.1, and 6.7-inch sizes are anticipated in fall 2020. Rumors advise the 6.7-inch ‌iPhone‌ and one 6.1-inch model will be higher-end devices with triple-lens cameras, as the 5.4 and 6.1-inch models will be lower-end iPhones with dual-lens cameras and a far more affordable price.

It's been reported that the various sizes could see a staggered launch. During Apple's third fiscal quarter earnings call, Apple CFO Luca Maestri confirmed that Apple is expecting to release this year's iPhones later then usual.
