iPhone 12 will be launched next year by the Apple company, and it would have a design very similar to that of the iPhone 4, but unfortunately it seems that it will be more expensive than the iPhone 11, according to some information that appeared today. In the iPhone 12, Apple wants to use the same materials as in the iPhone 11, i.e. all stainless steel, but it would use a different manufacturing process for injecting the liquid metal into the presses to make the final structure.
The iPhone 12 will also have a differently segmented case so that GSM connectivity will no longer be affected, as happened with the iPhone 4 series, so in the end they learned something from that problem. This change for the production process would also bring an increase in the manufacturing costs of the iPhone 12 case, which will be felt in the final price that customers who choose to buy these mobile phones will have to pay.
iPhone 12 with iPhone 4 Design will be more EXPENSIVE than iPhone 11
The iPhone 12 would also come with sapphire instead of glass to protect the case, and as this material is much more expensive, it is understandable why the prices should increase. Apart from these changes, the iPhone 12 is going to come with a new better camera, with a different cut-out, and with new components, plus other internal components, all these changes will ultimately bring an increase in the selling price.
However, Kuo also states that these changes could substantially increase material costs, with the metal frame costing up to 50-60% more and the coating up to 40-50% more. He doesn't say whether this will result in a higher cost at retail, but it seems likely."
iPhone 12 would have a 50% - 60% higher cost for the case, and a 40% - 50% higher cost for the protective glass, which of course Apple will not absorb, but will pass on to customers. This means that the prices for the iPhone 12 will increase by at least 50 euros, adding all the taxes, but we could also talk about an increase of 100 euros, which would bring the phones to a price area that could keep them away from customers.
The iPhone 12 is now being touted as the phone that Apple fans should really be waiting for, but until then, the iPhone 11 series is the only top-of-the-line that Apple currently sells.
