Apple is getting ready to ship a whopping 75 million new 12 models this year, according to new estimates.
The tech giant is expecting sales of the next-generation iPhone to reach as high as 80 million units in 2020 alone, Bloomberg says, citing ‘people familiar with the situation’.
The initial figures are in line with previous iPhone launches, suggesting Apple doesn’t think consumer interest is waning due to the pandemic and economic slowdown.
The company is planning to launch four iPhone 12 models later this year with different screen sizes, 5G support and crisp OLED displays.
Apple is also preparing a new iPad Air with an edge-to-edge screen, two new versions of the Apple Watch, a smaller and cheaper HomePod speaker and its first over-ear headphones outside of the Apple-owned Beats brand.

Apple devices including iPhones, iPads and Mac computers are still in hot demand as they support people working and studying from home during lockdowns, the report added.
Apple will be releasing four iPhone 12 models this year, according to Bloomberg – two regular models and two larger and more expensive Pro models.
The two regular iPhones will be available with either a 5.4-inch or a 6.1-inch sized screen, while the Pro devices will offer a 6.1-inch or a 6.7-inch display.
The latter would be the largest display Apple has ever put in an iPhone, topping the iPhone 11 Pro Max’s 6.5 inches.
Apple and its component suppliers have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic, which has pushed back the launch of the iPhone 12 by ‘a few weeks’
The larger Pro model will also have the same LIDAR camera as on the latest iPad Pro, to support augmented reality (AR) applications.
Apple plans to ship the regular models sooner than the Pro devices as part of a ‘staggered release strategy’, Bloombe Pro and early iPhone models.
