“IPhone 12” may have a design very similar to the current one, being a little taller and thinner

Citing sources within Apple’s supply chain, the Macotakara published information from the supposed “IPhone 12”, which is expected to be presented by Apple in September this year.

Alleged line of iPhones for 2020

Alleged line of iPhones for 2020

In fact, as we have already said, the 2020 line will possibly consist of four devices: one 5.4 inch, two 6.1 inch and one 6.7 inch. And the Japanese blog commented a little on the design and the alleged measures of the devices.

Design

According to the vehicle, the “iPhone 12” will use the same base, the same “chassis” as the iPhone 11; the only difference would be due to the arrival of new camera technology.

The information, it is good to remember, contradicts much of what we have heard so far – mainly from the mouth of the famous analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who said that the coming smartphone will have a new, more square design (reminiscent of the iPhone 4 and the iPad Pro current).

Himself Macotakara already showed the design of a supposed case for the “iPhone 12”, which had just the most square edges. But as we are still in January, anything can happen.

Device measurements

Height

The 5.4 ″ model would have a height between iPhone SE and iPhone 8, while the 6.1 ″ model would be halfway between 11 and 11 Pro Max; the 6.7 ″ model would be slightly higher than the 11 Pro Max.

Thickness

Regarding the thickness, the Japanese say that the “iPhone 12 ″ 6.7” will have 7.4mm, which is noticeably thinner than the 8.1 mm of the iPhone 11 Pro Max. The report also says that the future device will feature a camera system with a sensor larger than the rear camera of the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

Cameras

At least in this, the Japanese agree with Kuo: according to them, the 5.4 ″ and 6.1 ″ models will have two cameras – according to Kuo, the sturdier 6.1 ″ model (after all, there would be two) will have three cameras and a ToF sensor, as well as the 6.7 ″ model.

What is expected in 2020?

Overall, rumors point to the following line in 2020:

  • “IPhone 9”: iPhone 8 design with Touch ID and bordered screen.
  • 5.4 inch “iPhone 12”: OLED screen, two cameras.
  • 6.1 “iPhone 12”: OLED screen, two cameras.
  • 6.1 “iPhone 12 Pro”: more advanced OLED screen, three cameras and ToF sensor.
  • 6.7 inch “iPhone 12 Pro”: more advanced OLED screen, three cameras and ToF sensor.

It is worth noting that the Macotakara already got a lot right about future Apple releases, but they also tend to make a lot of mistakes. So, don’t put your hands on the fire for the Japanese …
