ETFs to Gain on Apple’s New 5G iPhones, Analysts Optimism
At its “Hi, Speed” event, Apple Inc. AAPL has launched the much-anticipated set of new iPhones — iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, and iPhone 12 mini — that come with 5G technology for the first time for faster connectivity.
These models will run on Apple’s custom chip that company calls the fastest yet for a smartphone. These range in size from the mini’s 5.4-inch screen to the Pro Max, which has the largest iPhone screen ever at 6.7 inches. All the devices sport an all-screen Super Retina XDR display, the A14 Bionic chip, a Ceramic Shield front cover, LiDAR Scanner, and of course, the iPhone line’s best camera system (read: ETFs Popping on Apple and Amazon Events).
The gadget maker continues to focus on a lower pricing strategy initiated last year in order to lure customers. Out of the four, iPhone 12 mini seems to be the most affordable with a starting price tag of $699. The iPhone 12 will start at $799, while the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max could begin at $899 and $1,099, respectively. The iPhone 12 and Pro will be available on Oct 23, while the mini and Pro Max will arrive on Nov 13. The first two models are available for pre-order on Oct 16, while the second pair will go on pre-sale on Nov 6.
Apart from the new iPhone models, Apple introduced its HomePod Mini smart speaker, which includes a touch panel on its top for play/pause and volume options, along with a light-up display to indicate the use of the Siri assistant.
