The big iPhone 12 event happened today, and you can see everything Apple announced here. Possible leaks about the iPhone 12 continued to appear even on launch day. Just this morning, well known leaker Evan Blass corroborated the rumor about the iPhone 12's new blue color option and hinted at a spherical shape for Apple's rumored new HomePod. Last week there was an even bigger one: Leaker Kang posted on Chinese social media site Weibo Friday that there will be four models of iPhones that range in price from $699 to $1,099, according to The Verge.
