While the iPhone 12 is yet to be released, some rumors about the quality of the components are starting to crop up. Thus, for Ming-Chi Kuo, expert on the brand, Apple has chosen to take cheaper components to limit costs on the iPhone 12.
It seems that Apple has put pressure on its suppliers of electronic components to limit the costs of the next iPhone 12. Indeed, given the prices of the latest iPhone 11, and the drop in sales, it seems that Apple has changed its policy regarding its profits on the iPhone.
Indeed, until now, the brand took advantage of the user as a cash cow to always increase the price of his smartphone. Yes, but here it is, in recent years faced with ever tougher and more efficient competition, Apple has seen its sales fall. In addition, the Covid-19 has also been there and the recession in the smartphone market too.
5G, a development that is costing the brand dearly.
With the arrival of the iPhone 12, Apple has no other choice but to come and equip its latest smartphone with 5G. Especially since that’s it, the market is developing in the USA (Apple’s growing market). And so it would be a shame for iPhone owners not to be able to take advantage of 5G speeds.
5G which brings additional costs of around 80 dollars according to Ming-Chi Kuo. Suddenly, Apple would have notably made savings on the battery and especially on its system. Technical information emphasizes that the batteries of the iPhone 12 will not be as advanced as that of the iPhone 11.
Will this reduce the autonomy of the smartphone? Will it heat up more? For the moment we do not know yet. It remains to be hoped, however, that Apple and its iPhone 12 will not suffer the same setbacks as Samsung with its Galaxy Note 7.

More headphones and more power adapter included?
In any case, certain hypotheses are also announced. Thus, to further reduce costs, Apple could no longer provide with its iPhone 12, the pair of headphones and the power adapter, but only the Lightning cable.
In short, so many rumors that will only be confirmed when the iPhone 12 is released this fall.
