The iPhone 12 is likely to feature a completely new design, 5G connectivity, and plenty of other changes to make it one of the most innovative phones Apple has released in years. Here’s what we think we know so far.
While we’re still months away from Apple’s anticipated iPhone 12 launch, rumors and predictions are starting to accumulate at a fever pitch. And if those rumors are true, we’ll be seeing no less than four new iPhone 12 models launch later this year, and we have the details here.
It’s worth noting Apple has yet to confirm any details about its 2020 iPhone lineup. Our reporting is based solely on leaks and predictions from industry insiders with solid track records. That said, things are likely to develop quickly over the next few months, so we’ll be updating this story frequently.iPhone 12 Design
According to tech analyst and leaker Jon Prosser, Apple will release four iPhone models this year, including a 5.4-inch iPhone 12, a 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Max, a 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro, and a 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max.

As you can see below, the 2020 iPhone lineup might do away with the curved design language that has come to define the series since 2017. Instead the new phones will sport a boxy design, with flat glass panels on the front. Regular iPhone 12 models are said to have an aluminum frame, while the Pro models will sport stainless steel.

The SIM slot is reportedly moving to the left side of the phone, while a proprietary connector may make its home on the right; while there are few details about the connector’s purpose, we believe it could be for Apple’s long-awaited AR headset that will likely precede its AR glasses by a year. Antenna lines might also be slightly larger to accommodate custom 5G antennas. Finally, the power button will reportedly move a little lower down on the right side of the phone if images from the Japanese tech site Macotakara are to be believed.
In addition to these changes, there are two notable omissions. Multiple sources report the iPhone 12 will continue to use a Lightning port for charging and data transfer. Apple analyst Ming Chi Kuo also says this will be the first year Apple will not include a pair of EarPods in the box—instead the company will launch an AirPods promotion to coincide with the release of the new phones.iPhone 12 Display and Cameras
