| The mother of all iPhone 12 leaks reveals names, specs and prices for every model - Tom's Guide Posted: 11 May 2020 11:00 AM PDT Think of it as the mother of all iPhone 12 leaks. A new video has just revealed the final names, specs and pricing for all of Apple's new flagship phones for the fall. There's some potentially bad news around the display refresh rate for the Pro models, but there is still much to be excited about. Front Page Tech's Jon Prosser revealed all the iPhone 12 details on YouTube. You can watch the video below for yourself. We also have summarized all of the leaked iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro specs below in one handy chart. iPhone 12 leaked specs
If you've been wondering about the names, here's what's on tap. The standard 5.4-inch iPhone 12 with dual rear cameras and an OLED display made by BOE will just be called iPhone 12. But the larger 6.1-inch version may be named iPhone 12 Pro Max. Then you step up to the iPhone 12 Pro models, which have triple rear cameras and a LiDAR sensor, plus Samsung-made OLED panels. The 6.1-inch model will likely be called iPhone 12 and the 6.7-inch version will be called iPhone 12 Pro Max. So there's symmetry for you: iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Max, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max. What about the iPhone 12's price? Miraculously, Apple is reportedly lowering the bottom end of its pricing structure again for the iPhone 12. The cheapest iPhone 12, the 5.4-inch model with 128GB storage may cost $649. That's $50 cheaper than the cheapest iPhone 11. This is very welcome news indeed considering the cheapest Samsung Galaxy S20 is $1,000. The iPhone 12 Max will reportedly start at $749, while the iPhone 12 Pro will cost $999 and the iPhone 12 Pro Max has a price of $1,099. The standard iPhone 12 models have a choice of 128GB storage or 256GB storage, while the iPhone 12 Pro models have between 128GB, 256GB or 512GB. Next, the displays. The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max have both been rumored to have "Pro Motion" 120Hz displays, a first for iPhones. However, Prosser shared some unfortunate news. While Apple is working on this technology, it's not certain if it'll come to iPhone 12. It all comes down to battery life, which Apple sees as more important than refresh rate for most of its customers, he says. So either the iPhone 12 Pro will come with a variable 120Hz refresh rate that changes depending on what you're doing, or it will come with a standard 60Hz display like the iPhone 11 Pro — there would be no in between or toggle option available. The iPad Pro 2020 lets you turn off the ProMotion feature, but it's buried in the Accessibility settings. An addendum to the displays is that while both the iPhone 12s and iPhone 12 Pros will both use OLED displays, they will be two different kinds. The iPhone 12 and 12 Max will reportedly use a cheaper panel made by BOE, while the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max will use Samsung-manufactured panels with 10-bit color. We first saw this extra colorful technology on the OnePlus 8 Pro, and should mean that the iPhone 12 Pro will have one of the best displays of the year. Finally, availability. iPhones tend to come out in September every year, but because of travel restrictions to China, Apple's production cycle for the iPhone 12 has been delayed. Because of this, Prosser predicts that while Apple may still hold a launch event in September, the phones won't ship until October. We'd already heard this rumored for the iPhone 12 Pro Max, but now it looks like this may affect the whole lineup. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Galaxy Note 20 and Fold 2 variable refresh rate display might trash rivals - SamMobile Posted: 11 May 2020 08:25 AM PDT  The Galaxy Note 20 series might fix one of the bigger issues with Samsung's 120Hz display implementation and give the competition a run for its money at the same time. According to a new leak shared by Ross Young on Twitter, Samsung is getting ready to add LTPO backplane technology to the upcoming S Pen flagship as well as the Galaxy Fold 2. This will lend variable refresh rate capabilities to the the AMOLED display and improve battery life by anywhere between 15%-20%. Interestingly enough, the upcoming Apple iPhone is said to lack LTPO technology, with the Cupertino-based company planning to introduce it next year. This will give Samsung's premium smartphones a leg up on its rival. LTPO would technically allow Samsung's displays to function at 1Hz when the Always On display mode is active, or crank the refresh rate at up to 120Hz when the situation calls for it, say, when playing mobile games. Galaxy Note 20 leaks continue – bigger screens, taller aspect ratioAccording to the source, the Galaxy Note 20 will have a 6.42-inch display, whereas the Galaxy Note 20+ (not Ultra) will boast a 6.87-inch panel. However, Samsung will apparently maintain last year's strategy in regards to the pixel count. The base Galaxy Note 20 model will reportedly have a resolution of 2345 by 1084, leading to an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. Same as last year, the larger Galaxy Note 20 model set to be unveiled in August will have a higher pixel count compared to the base variant. This year, the Galaxy Note 20+ will have a slightly taller 19.3:9 aspect ratio with a display resolution of 3096 by 1444. Both the Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20+, as well as the Galaxy Fold 2 will reportedly boast LTPO backplane technology, and this could be a game changer in terms of battery life thanks to the variable refresh rate. In other words, the Galaxy Note 20, Note 20+, and Galaxy Fold 2 will have 120Hz displays, but they will be far superior to the 120Hz panels employed by the Galaxy S20 lineup.

| The Elder Scrolls 6 is very far away, as is Starfield, Bethesda says - Polygon Posted: 11 May 2020 09:41 AM PDT You're not alone in wondering when this is all going to be over — the wait for more information on The Elder Scrolls 6, that is. It was announced nearly two years ago, but very little about it has been revealed. Well, I suggest settling in for a long and patient wait, because we're not going to hear anything about the follow-up to Skyrim for a good long while, according to Bethesda. That probably comes as little surprise, but with the goal of setting expectations — so important right now — Bethesda senior VP of marketing and communications Pete Hines said on Twitter over the weekend that fans should probably expect The Elder Scrolls 6 details "years from now." Responding to a fan who asked for details on TES6, Hines said, "It's after Starfield, which you pretty much know nothing about. So if you're coming at me for details now and not years from now, I'm failing to properly manage your expectations."
Starfield is, of course, the other Bethesda Game Studios game that was teased in June 2018 at that year's E3. We know very little about Starfield, too. We know it's a "space epic" and the first new franchise in 25 years from the developers of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout series. But outside of a teaser trailer, official details are scant. On Twitter, Hines said we'd find out more about Starfield "someday." This is all to say: Don't hold your breath for major Starfield or The Elder Scrolls 6 reveals when Microsoft and Sony Interactive Entertainment start talking more about Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 games in the coming months. You'll be much happier with lowered expectations. Bethesda Softworks' currently announced lineup includes Deathloop from Arkane Studios and Ghostwire: Tokyo from Tango Gameworks, two other games still shrouded in mystery. Bethesda also has the The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor expansion, coming later this month to PC and June 9 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Another Elder Scrolls game, The Elder Scrolls Blades, is also coming out of early access soon and to Nintendo Switch this spring.  Vox Media has affiliate partnerships.
