Apple iPhone 12 to lead 5G smartphone market in 2020: Strategy Analytics

“It may seem counterintuitive that Apple, which currently has no 5G phones in its portfolio will be able to pass current 5G market leaders Samsung and Huawei,” Ken Hyers, Director at Strategy Analytics, wrote in a press release.

Well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had earlier predicted that Apple will introduce 5G-enabled iPhones in 2020. Rumours suggest that all 2020 iPhones will feature OLED displays. There has also been some speculation of a quad-camera setup on the iPhone 12 Pro Max, with a ToF sensor in addition to wide, ultrawide and telephoto lenses. Some reports even claim that Apple will retain a small notch for Face ID and selfie camera.

All three next-generation iPhones will be powered by Qualcomm’s X55 5G modem and run on Apple’s A14 Bionic chipset. Earlier this year, Apple ended its long legal battle with Qualcomm, paving way for a 5G iPhone. Apple also bought Intel’s smartphone modem business, which includes several patents and 2,000 employees for $1 billion. The iPhone with the Apple-made modem is said to arrive in 2021.
