The higher-tier models of this year's Apple flagship smartphones would be reportedly more durable than their current-generation counterparts, according to an industry insider. The Cupertino tech giant is anticipated to debut the iPhone 12 series sometime in September. With the launch and arrival of the iPhone 12 line up drawing near, more leaks about the various models surfaced online.

iPhone 12 Pro, Pro Max Exterior

The new set of information about the exterior of the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max came from Twitter user iHackTu Pro. The industry insider shared a couple of tweets, which talked about the quality of exterior the higher-tier iPhone 12 models feature. According to the tipster, the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max's exterior are made up of brushed metal and aerospace aluminum.

In other words, the iPhone's exterior is far better (in terms of quality) than the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. The tipster also mentioned that these new set of materials used in the exterior of the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max are less likely hot to touch, particularly during summer. He added that the devices' functionality would not be affected by colder temperatures.

This new information about the exterior of the upcoming iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, if accurate, comes with a lot of advantages. One of these is that it allows users to use their iPhones more comfortably. Another is something to do with the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max's performance and related to the cooling features of the devices.

With less tendency to get hot and with efficient cooling solution, the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max could maintain their performance for longer periods. Unfortunately, the tipster does not say if the Cupertino tech juggernaut would use a different form of glass that would not break after being dropped several times.

Other iPhone 12 Details

Rumors have it that Apple might not release all four iPhone 12 models on the same dates. Several insiders claimed that Apple might release the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 and the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 first. The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max might reportedly arrive later than its other siblings. Apart from this, analysts at Wedbush Securities predicted that Apple might release a 4G-only iPhone 12 sometime in the early part of 2021.
