We’re expecting Apple to announce four new iPhones later this year. The smallest among the family will be named the iPhone 12 mini.
Leakers believe a smaller screen iPhone dubbed the iPhone 12 mini will be making an appearance on the market at the October event.
Apple has already confirmed that this year’s iPhone release will be delayed.
However, rumors suggest the iPhone 12 launch event will be held on October 13. The more affordable iPhones, with 5.4 and 6.1-inch variants, are set to ship out ahead of the more expensive 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch Pro devices.
But today, a new leak is circling the Internet. Rumors increasingly suggest that the smallest among this year’s Apple mobile devices will be named the iPhone 12 mini.

- Apple iPhone 12 — 6.1-inch screen
- Apple’s iPhone 12 Pro — 6.1-inch screen

The smallest iPhone: What to expect
As reported by Republic World, the iPhone 12 mini is set to have a 5.4-inch display. It will also come with storage options of between 128GB and 256 GB. The “mini” would have a larger display than both SE models but could be smaller than the 2nd gen because of slimmer bezels.
All 2020 new iPhones of 2020 are said to feature an OLED display technology. Also, the higher-end variants could end up with a 120hz promotion refresh rate.
Apple is expected to follow the same pattern for the iPhone 12 prices. It is assumed to start around $699 for the affordable variants and $999 and $1099 for the Pro and Pro Max, respectively.
