iPhone 12 Pro Max concept render
Both 5G smartphones and 5G mobile networks got off to a rocky start last year pretty much worldwide, but as wireless carriers are rapidly expanding the availability of their next-gen cellular services while handset vendors and chip manufacturers are working together to make the devices of the future cheaper and cheaper, the industry is certainly moving towards a major transformation at a faster and faster pace.
No Verizon 5G compatibility for the iPhone 12, 12 Max, and 12 Pro?

Of course, the 6.5-inch giant should be universally compatible with all US 5G networks, while the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 and the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Max/12 Pro duo are likely to settle for Sub-6 5G connectivity on AT&T and T-Mobile, as well as 4G LTE-only support for Verizon.
Nothing new to report on the timing and specification fronts
In addition to (different kinds of) 5G connectivity, the four variants are likely to share OLED display technology and Apple A14 Bionic processing power, with the non-Pro duo expected to settle for a dual rear-facing camera system that could be upgraded to a quad shooter arrangement (LiDAR scanner included) on the back of the 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max.
