Apple's Watch Series 6, SE hints what's not coming in iPhone 12 series

Last Updated 16 September 2020, 14:18 IST

American technology major Apple on Tuesday (September 15) unveiled the new line of Apple Watches and iPad, iPad Air series. As expected, the company did not reveal the iPhone 12 and if rumours are to be believed, the latter is expected to be announced in the mid-October.

However, Apple's September Fall Event did hint what's coming and one critical thing, which will be dropped in the iPhone 12 series packaging.

During the programme, Apple announced that the Watch Series 6 and the Watch SE will not have AC adapter in the packaging, as the latter is known to cause electronic wastes and degrade the environment. Also, the company revealed that both the smart wearables are made of the industry-leading amount of recycled materials.

This apparently means the rumours of Apple iPhone 12 series not coming with a travel adapter is likely to turn true. However, the company will most probably offer Type-C to- Type-C/lightning cable for data transfer or for charging by connecting to a computer.

Apple iPad Air 4 is coming with Type-C port and this apparently has led many to believe Apple may finally ditch the lightning port for the iPhone 12 series.

All the iPhone 12 series models are said to come with OLED-based screens and will be powered by Apple A14 Bionic with iOS 14 out-of-the-box. The iPhone 12 and 12 Max are said to come with improved dual-camera compared to the iPhone 11.

On the other hand, the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max are expected to come with triple 16MP cameras in addition to an extra LiDAR sensor seen in the iPad Pro 2020 series.
