Apple announces iPhone 12 event happening October 13

One month after Apple's "Time Flies" event, the company will be making some more announcements.

Apple today sent out invitations for an event on Tuesday, October 13 (via Wall Street Journal's Joanna Stern). The show will kick off at 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET and it'll be live streamed on Apple's website. The tagline for the event is "Hi, Speed".

While Apple isn't saying anything about what it'll announce at this event, there are a couple of clues that we notice. With the Apple Watch Series 6 and new iPad Air announced last month, this new event is cleared for new iPhone hardware. And with four models expected — a 5.4-inch "mini", a 6.1-inch, a 6.1-inch Pro, and a 6.7-inch Pro Max — Apple may need a whole event just for new phones.

Additionally, the tagline "Hi, Speed" also works as "high-speed", which is likely a hint at the faster 5G connectivity that the new iPhones are expected to support. That tagline could also hint at new A14 Bionic processors that could be included in the new iPhones.

Rumors have said that the new iPhone 12 models will get a new design with flat sides, similar to the iPad Pro. All four phones are expected to include OLED displays, too, an upgrade from the iPhone 11 and its LCD screen. And it's said that Apple will be swapping the Midnight Green color of the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max for a dark blue paint job on the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max.
