The iPhone
9 (or iPhone SE) was reportedly going to launch at a late March event, but that
now seems highly unlikely. The phone is expected to cost $399 and five Apple a
formidable competitor to Google’s upcoming Pixel 4a. A three-delay
would put the launch of the iPhone around June, which is when Apple’s WWDC 2020
event was due to kick off. But that event maybe postponed as well.
As for the iPhone 12, that is supposed to be the first Apple phone with
built-in 5G capability,

the holiday shopping window.
