Apple To Sell 4G iPhone 12 For Only $549, Leak Claims

Previous reports indicated that Apple's upcoming iPhone 12 lineup will be composed of four models, coming in three different sizes: an entry-level iPhone 12 that has a 5.4-inch display, a bigger but non-Pro iPhone 12 Max that has a 6.1-inch display, the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro, and the largest among the bunch – the 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max.

All of these devices are believed to offer support for 5G networks so that users can take advantage of the new and faster standard. A tweet from Twitter leaker @omegaleaks (via PhoneArena), however, reveals that Apple is also planning to release 4G variants of the non-Pro iPhone 12 models.

Here's what the leaker claims and what fans should expect if the leak is accurate.

There will be an LTE version of the 5.4-inch iPhone 12

First, the leaker claims that there'll be a 4G version of the entry-level iPhone 12. It's worth noting that last year, Rosenblatt analyst Jun Zhang predicted that Apple will be releasing a 4G version of the 5.4-inch iPhone 12. The analyst, however, said this device will be a “Pro” model – something that has been countered by more recent leaks, including that of Frontpage Tech's Jon Prosser.

The leaker said the 4G version will be sold for $549, which is significantly cheaper than the iPhone 11's price at launch.

Second, the leaker also claimed that the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Max will also have a 4G version that will sell for $649, which is still cheaper than the iPhone 11's $699 launch price. Zhang also predicted that a 4G version of the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 will be released.

As for the 5G versions, the leaker said they will sell for the price that Prosser leaked earlier: $649 for the iPhone 12 and $749 for the iPhone 12 Max.

That said, fans should take all of these leaks with a grain of salt. Apple hasn't announced anything yet, which means all of these is but a rumor at the moment. Stay tuned for more details as they come.
