Apple is expected to unveil a new series of its upcoming iPhone 12 later this year. It is reported that the iPhone 12 series of OLED screens will add new touch technology. The four upcoming phone models will come in different sizes are expected to be equipped with OLED screens.
Compared with the iPhone 11 series, the resolution is fully upgraded, but the improvement is limited. Among them, a major technology is upgraded to Y-OCTA technology, which can directly integrate the touch circuit on the OLED panel to reduce the thickness. As for the 120Hz refresh rate, it has not been confirmed.
The following is an original analysis of the specific screen parameters of the four models.

Combined with the previously exposed news, the design of the iPhone 12 series has not changed much, and it is still equipped with a notch screen and face ID. We only wish Apple does away with the outdated notch screen design.
However, the screen frame is slightly narrowed, the classic frame of the iPhone 4 period is adopted, all of them are equipped with A14 bionic processors, and support 5G dual-mode (Among them Pro series supports sub-6GHz and millimeter wave). In addition, the entire storage system is upgraded to 4GB and the initial storage is 128GB. The Pro series of cameras will add LiDAR sensors found on the 2020 iPad Pro to enhance the AR experience.
