He said the phones would come in blue, gold, graphite and silver. Apple didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

The new devices, which are being called the iPhone 12 by the Apple community though the company hasn't confirmed their names, are expected to be announced Tuesday alongside a possible new smaller smartphone, called the iPhone 12 Mini, as well as a a possible new HomePod, among other things.
