Apple's iPhone 12 will be offered in a new 'Dark Blue' color and be equipped with substantial camera improvements, 5G, and more, reports DigiTimes.

In addition to adding a dark blue model, for the first time, into the iPhone family products, Apple also brings a number of specification upgrades to new iPhones, including camera modules, displays and communications modules. While all new iPhone products will come with facial ID functionality and support mmWave 5G technology, the top-end model of the iPhone 12 lineup will be equipped with a ToF camera and the wide-angel lens of its rear camera will also come with sensor-shift optical image stabilization functionality.

The site expects global shipments of the new lineup to reach 63-68 million in the second half of 2020. That's down five million from last year due to COVID-19 related production and release delays.

DigiTimes notes that additional unemployment benefits released by the U.S. government could affect shipments by as many as 10 million units. Additionally, a ban of WeChat on iPhones in China could negatively affect overall 2020 iPhone shipments by nearly 10%. Currently, Apple is forecasted to ship 190 million units this year.
