I guess Apple will appeal to market demand and some will care about the camera and some won’t. It’s a big camera module with an additional lens and fitting it within a smaller chassis would impact on battery life I would think. A dual lens camera will be sufficient much like the iPhone 11 has the same cameras as the 11 Pro now.
It has exactly the same prime camera and ultra wide lens. The only difference is the additional telephoto lens on the Pro.
The only thing we sort of know from Ming is that the 5.4" will have a dual camera instead of a triple camera, almost certainly due to physical size limitations.
In this article, the bullet pointed naming convention of 12 vs. 12 Pro seems purely like it came from the MR person who wrote the article, NOT Ming:

Far as I'm concerned, Ming has never said the 5.4" is a poverty spec/cheap phone, that blame goes to the person who wrote the MR article for assuming a naming convention.

Kuo didn't say it. But JPMorgan was the first to provide details on the 4 model lineup and indicated the 5.4” would be part of the lower-end pair of devices. Kuo's report followed JPMorgan. UBS has also said the 5.4" model would have 4GB RAM.
That makes a lot of sense. Also, I'm on a XS right now and the screen would be fine by me, even for a new phone. Even though new screens will be better, this is beautiful.
This shows how I personally don't care about the differences between Pro and non-Pro.
I don’t think there is much difference in actual use. Having seen many of the blind tests the difference between optical zoom on the Pro and digital zoom on the 11 are difficult to tell apart. The main cameras are also exactly the same.
It’s not my claim and logically I would agree that optical should be better. However it’s not true optical zoom even on the Pro as the higher end is digital due to the tiny lens these devices use and the fact the 2x zoom if digitally controlled between the focusing points. It’s controlled slightly better on the Pro but software uses pixel duplication and noise control to simulate any differences.
Why not contribute to the discussion by adding more than a throwaway sentence and actually go into a bit more depth?
I’ve explained my reasoning and how I understand the technology used. Don’t assume the motives of people you don’t know. Single sentence posts devoid of any explanation are practically useless in a discussion. Join in constructively, and make your point valid.
Just be civil with those you’re debating with. I’ve been here 8 years and never been banned or suspended. We are here to talk about technology, not go to war lol.
so all are getting OLED models, the price should stay the same since the Pro models will have newer screen technology
Have you followed the rumors? Literally every single one points to all models being OLED.
I wish you were right but all the suggestions are saying OLED across the range for this release. I’m planning to get the iPhone 12 6.1” and wouldn’t have minded another LCD but I don’t think that’s likely.
