Earliest iPhone 12 Rumors - A Look Back
It's easy to forget, but iPhone 12 rumors have been circulating for almost two years now. The earliest buzz came in late 2018, while concrete details of the specific form factors first came out as early as 16 months ago.

I mean what else fits the "speed" part? Either 5G or A14 (and Apple already spoiled the A14 performance with the iPad Air announcement). So 5G is left.
Unless Apple got the A14X or whatever ready for the iPad Pros or AS Macs, but unlikely.
It will be a highly produced boring keynote.
