Almost every detail about the iPhone 12 may have just leaked before Apple's big event

• A leaker known as Kang recently posted what they said was a slew of details about the iPhone 12 lineup's price, release date, camera specifications, colors, and other information.
• Kang is said to have a strong track record of accurately reporting on Apple products.
• Apple is holding an event on Tuesday where it's expected to reveal the iPhone 12 lineup and possibly other devices.

Apple's major event on Tuesday is right around the corner, but you might not have to wait until then to find out key details about the iPhone 12 lineup.

A leaker who goes by the name Kang recently posted what they said was a slew of details about Apple's next iPhones, from their pricing to their launch dates, camera specifications, and much more.

Kang is said to have a strong track record when it comes to Apple leaks. AppleTrack, a website that tracks Apple rumors and rates leakers and analysts on their accuracy, issued Kang a 97.8% accuracy rate. The leaker correctly predicted earlier this year that the iPhone SE would launch on April 15 for $399 and accurately leaked the colors of Apple's new iPad Air before the company's event on September 15.

Kang's new posts about the iPhone 12 lineup echoed many of the details we've heard from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, and others. The leak suggests the iPhone 12 will come in four variants — a 5.4-inch model, two 6.1-inch models, and a 6.7-inch version — all of which are said to support 5G connectivity.

Apple did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

Pricing and colors

The 5.4-inch iPhone 12 will start at $699 and be available in black, white, red, blue, and green, Kang said. That would make it the same price as the iPhone 11.

The 6.1-inch iPhone 12 is said to start at $799 and be available in the same colors.

The iPhone 12 Pro could start at $999 and come in gold, silver, graphite, and blue, Kang said, also indicating that Apple would keep the pricing the same as the iPhone 11 Pro.

The 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max could cost $1,099, like the iPhone 11 Pro Max, and come in the same colors as the regular Pro.

Release dates

Kang predicted that the two 6.1-inch phones would be the first to debut, becoming available to preorder on October 16 or 17 and then going on sale on October 23 or 24.

The so-called iPhone 12 mini could be next, with a presale date of November 6 or 7 and a launch date of November 13 or 14.

Last would be the 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max, which could be available to preorder on November 13 or 14 and officially launch on November 20 or 21.

Other details

Kang also reported that the iPhone 12 mini and the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 would come with dual camera setups, while the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max would have triple cameras. Both Pro models are said to come with a lidar sensor for better performance in augmented-reality apps as well.

Apple is also said to be making its iPhone 12 lineup more durable with a ceramic front cover to make the devices more drop-resistant.

Kuo has indicated and Kang has said that the iPhone 12 family won't come with Apple's wired headphones in the box.

Apple might also launch new wireless-charging accessories for the new iPhones under the MagSafe name, the magnetic power adapter it used for Mac computers. Apple previously filed a patent application for a new version of its MagSafe charging system.

In addition to the four new iPhones, Kang predicted that Apple would debut a $99 miniature HomePod speaker at the event and launch it on November 16 or 17.

The iPhone 12 is expected to be a major launch for Apple, representing a redesign of the iPhone and its first smartphones to include 5G support. The Wedbush Securities analyst Daniel Ives has described the launch as a "once in a decade" moment for Apple and estimated that 350 million active iPhones around the world could be due for an upgrade.
