Size

According to rumours Apple is prepared to offer 4 models. Sizes include 5.4, 6.7- and 6.1-inch screens. Rumours have said that we will see a 5.4-inch iPhone, a 6.7-inch iPhone and two 6.1-inch iPhones. The small screen will be the cheaper iPhone model while the larger screen sizes will most likely be the higher-end models. Due to the higher-end devices being expensive they will feature the new triple-lens camera while the lower-end devices will feature the dual-lens camera.

Design

The new iPhones will have a similar design as the iPad pro. Apple seems to be going back to the iPhone 4 design. This design includes a square edged stainless-steel frame between two pieces of glass. According to macrumors the new iPhone design could possibly include other changes to its design such as:

• Slightly larger camera lenses
• Thicker antenna lines at the side for 5G
• SIM tray relocated to the left side of the device
• Smart Connector-like input on the right
• One less speaker hole on right side of the speaker grille
• Slightly lower power button

Colours

When coming to the colour of the iPhone, there is always a new colour such as the previous iPhone with the green. Rumours suggest that the new iPhone 12 models could come with a new navy-blue finish.

Leaked Images

As you can see from the images, these are leaked schematics of the iPhone 12. The phone itself has a notch that is 1/3 smaller than the previous version. This could be accurate, or it could not. From the rear image of the phone it includes the triple-lens camera.

Display

Rumours suggest that Apple will be using OLED displays from now on instead of the LCD screens. At the moment Apple is testing OLED screens from a company. Apple was using Samsung's screen and rumour suggest that they will continue to.

iPhone model display

A14 chip

Battery

The new iPhones will include the same battery from the previous version, but rumours have it, Apple will apply a small gain to the battery capacity. Apple is working on developing a protection module that is much smaller which can allow more battery space.

Camera

When coming to the module of the iPhone we know that Apple made changes of last year's model. Rumour suggest that the new models will feature the LiDAR Scanner feature which is also featured on the iPad pro.

The sensor itself is used to reflect light to measure the distance from the sensor to surrounding objects. So far rumour has it that the two higher-end iPhones coming in 2020 will use the new time-of-flight rear camera. However, this may not be featured on the lower-end models. When coming to the higher-end models there could be a chance that they may get improved telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. Furthermore, there are rumours that the higher-end iPhone will be getting sensor-shift image stabilisation technology.

TrueDepth Camera system

According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi-Kuo there will be an iPhone which could feature a smaller front camera lens. The reason for this is to improve screen to bezel ratio which can give the iPhone a smaller notch. Furthermore, the analyst has said that there will be one iPhone with no notch or Face ID. There could be a fingerprint sensor underneath the display.

5G

All the future iPhone models in 2020 will feature the 5G connectivity. This also means that they will feature the Qualcomm X55 5G modem chip.

This chip can offer 7Gb/s peak download speeds and 3gb/s upload speeds. The chip is Qualcomm's first 5G chip that can support all major frequency bands, operation modes and network deployments.

AirPods

Rumour has stated that Apple may not include EarPods with an iPhone purchase. This is to get customers to purchase their AirPods instead. There could be some kind of discount or promotions when purchasing an iPhone.
