Tech giant Apple is likely to launch the latest iPhone 12 series smartphones during its ‘special event’ that is set to take place today (October 13). While Apple has not directly mentioned anything about the launch in the virtual invite sent to select media houses last week, expectations are high for the iPhone launch.

The event will start at 10.30 pm (India Time) and will be live-streamed through the dedicated Apple Events Site as well as on YouTube.

.According to some reports, the invite, which had the image of a series of circles, and the words "Hi, Speed”, maybe indicating towards the new iPhone 12 that is expected to come with 5G connectivity.

As of now, not much, other than some leaks, is available about the new model. Apple is expected to release four models of the iPhone 12 -- a 5.4-inch iPhone 12 Mini, a 6.1-inch iPhone 12, a 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro and a 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Recently, it was revealed that the upcoming iPhone 12 could cost somewhere between $699 and $749 while the Pro and Pro Max models are expected to be priced between $1,100 and $1,200.

The iPhone 12 Pro may feature a high refresh-rate 120Hz ProMotion display, as seen on iPad Pro.

All four iPhone models are expected to feature OLED displays and 5G support, according to foreign analysts.

The entry-level iPhone 12 may come with 64GB storage in a total of six colours including black, white, blue, red, yellow as well as coral.
