• The iPhone 12 price could be even lower than what we thought, says a new leak.
• Apple will reportedly launch two 4G iPhone 12 versions alongside the four 5G models that have been featured extensively in rumors so far.
• Pricing for the cheapest 4G iPhone 12 could start at $549, or $100 lower than the cheapest 5G iPhone 12 version.

The new iPhone 12 series is still a few months away and should be unveiled in September, according to regular schedule. The newest reports on the matter say the iPhone supply chain is running at full steam, with analysts expecting Apple to meet its launch targets. Previous estimates said that some of Apple’s iPhone 12 versions might be delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic. The disease is far from being contained, with the US alone accounting for tens of thousands of new cases each day, setting brand new records. Other countries have notable outbreaks of their own, including Brazil, India, and Russia, and COVID-19 could remerge even in regions that have been able to flatten the curve.

Launching the new iPhone on time against this backdrop would be just a partial success. Apple will want to sell large iPhone quantities, as it does every year. But the worldwide economy has taken a serious hit, and expensive iPhones might not be on the menu for millions of potential buyers. Previous reports said the iPhone 12 series will be even more affordable than the iPhone 11 series. And a new rumor says that Apple is willing to price the cheapest iPhone 12 flavor much lower than we thought.
