We have not seen major changes in the design of Apple phones for 3 years. Since the iPhone X opted to do without the touch ID and adopt a full screen, the most drastic change that we have seen in the phones is the commitment to the square camera module of the current iPhone 11.
Every 3 years the firm tends to propose a revolution in the lines and shapes of its top of the range and it seems that this year the objective is to look back, not forward. And is that the next Apple phone, for now known as iPhone 12 , may look more like the iPhone 5 than the current iPhone 11 Pro , according to Bloomberg . Apparently the basis for creating the new phones from the American manufacturer would be the iPad, that is, featuring flat steel edges instead of curved and with a flat screen and flush with the body. All this as one of the signature tablets but with much smaller bezels and the size reduced to that of a mobile phone.
That would be in line with some of the concepts that we have already talked about before, such as the one you can see on these lines, where the bet is also on the complete disappearance of the notch.
In favor of the flat screen
This latest rumor follows the line of previous leaks that emphasize that the 2020 iPhone could resemble some of the best-designed models of the firm, the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 that dazzled fans of the brand so much that the manufacturer used them. base to give life to the 4-inch iPhone SE years ago and from which we now expect its successor as May water.
Of course, this would mark a significant change in the current design language, winking at what were possibly Apple’s most attractive iPhones while unifying a design line between mobile and tablet making iPhone and iPad even more so. Similar.
Another detail of the iPhone 12 that is beginning to gain strength in the last few hours is that the following Pro models will have three rear cameras, while the low-end devices will have two, maintaining, now, the strategy seen in the current models of the company. The main novelty would be in the 3D LIDAR system present in the iPad Pro that the brand intends to bring to its high-end iPhones to improve AR applications. For this reason, all of the brand’s next-generation phones will have much faster processors, especially to withstand arduous AI and AR work.
