iPhone 12 to Come in 'Dark Blue' Color Option

Hit-and-miss Taiwanese publication DigiTimes claims a dark blue iPhone color will be available "for the very first time" in addition to many new features and specification upgrades arriving at Apple's smartphone lineup.

Furthermore to adding a dark blue model, for the very first time, into the ‌iPhone‌ family products, Apple also brings a number of specification upgrades to new iPhones, including camera modules, displays and communications modules.

The claim adds another voice to early rumors about the ‌iPhone 12‌ lineup and new colors becoming available.

XDA Developers writer and leaker Max Weinbach claimed in January that at least among the ‌iPhone 12‌ models should come with a new dark blue finish. Weinbach believes that DARK BLUE could replace the Midnight Green finish that Apple debuted for iPhone 11 Pro models last year. Weinbach has accurately revealed a fresh ‌iPhone‌ color previously.

Another rumor suggests the ‌iPhone 12‌ models could come in light blue, violet, and light orange, among other colors.

Today's color tidbit appears in a report regarding the projected global shipments of Apple's upcoming ‌iPhone 12‌ lineup, which are anticipated to attain 63-68 million in the next half of the year, according to DigiTimes Research.

If accurate, the figure would present a reduction of over 5 million units when compared to number of units Apple shipped a year earlier for the iPhone 11 lineup. The projection factors in an expected lag of 4-6 weeks for volume production and a later official launch of new ‌iPhone‌ models in comparison to years past.

Apple last month confirmed that its "‌‌iPhone‌‌ 12" launch will be delayed this season as a result of ongoing global health crisis and restrictions on travel. Apple this past year started selling iPhones in late September, but this year, Apple projects supply will be "available a couple weeks later," suggesting a release sometime in October.

Multiple rumors indicated the brand new ‌‌iPhone‌‌ won't launch on time because of development and production delays, and reports on delays from Apple suppliers like Broadcom and Qualcomm. DigiTimes has previously claimed Apple could target a phased ‌iPhone‌ launch, citing supply chain sources.

Apple is expected to offer four iPhones in three different sizes this season: A 5.4-inch ‌‌iPhone‌‌, a 6.7-inch ‌‌iPhone‌‌, and two 6.1-inch iPhones. One 6.1-inch model and the 6.7-inch model will be higher-end iPhones, while the other 6.1-inch ‌‌iPhone‌‌ and the 5.4-inch ‌‌iPhone‌‌ will be lower-end models and successors to the ‌‌iPhone 11‌‌.

The report otherwise reiterates rumors about Apple's top-end 6.7-inch model, including the addition of a time-of-flight 3D camera similar to the LiDAR scanner observed in the 2020 iPad Pro, and a rear camera featuring sensor-shift optical image stabilization technology in the ultra-wide lens. Sensor-shift technology allows the optical image stabilization to be employed to the camera sensor, rather than the individual lenses.
