We already know a lot about the upcoming iPhone 12 range, including a surprise price cut. But now we have our best look yet at Apple’s all-new designs and reveals what might be its most neglected update.
Leaked models that match the renders of Apple’s iPhone 12 Pro suggest Apple has made its best iPhone … [+]
In a new exclusive, YouTuber iupdate has reached the first premium dummy units of the new iPhone 12 lineup and their precise dimensions, finishes and materials show that they will not only be Apple’s most stylish iPhones in years, but also the best for holding hands. (full video below).

“I love it, I really love it when I really hold [the new models] in my hand, “explains the YouTuber.” In this second I returned to my iPhone 11 Pro with the most rounded edges, it seemed cheaper. These new phones, regardless of whether it’s the cheaper 5.4-inch iPhone or the larger 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max, all feel really premium. “
In person, he goes on to say that this is “the best phone design I’ve ever had in my hand.” Interestingly, the feel of this new chassis is a popular thing that YouTuber, EverythingApplePro, has also commented on and that it was just the basic 3D printed models. The experience of holding these phones seems to be something that Apple has accomplished this year.
New sizes are also a factor. After a while with the models, iupdate notes that the model he was least interested in, the 5.4-inch iPhone 12, ended up being his favorite because it was so compact and usable with one hand (note: it’s even smaller than the new iPhone. SE) I suspect this will surprise many buyers and I have already suggested it to become the best-selling iPhone 12 model, especially considering its price. By contrast, the 6.7-inch enlarged iPhone 12 Pro Max is a monster when the two models are placed side by side.

In addition to its enhanced feel, iupdate also notes that the flat edges really allow the iPhone 12’s range to stand on its bottom edge – useful for quick video chat, though not on the sides, due to its buttons. Of these buttons, the mysterious and inexplicable giant sim tray still remains.
However, one area that you should ignore with these dummy iPhone 12 units is the camera and the notch. Neither one is definitive, as iupdate emphasizes, and what you see are placeholders. Positively, this means hope remains to include Apple’s exciting new LiDAR sensor and a smaller notch, which has been in doubt recently. Apple’s decisions here could be crucial, given that the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max’s 120Hz ProMotion displays are now in the cutting block as well.
That being said, 2020 will see that the iPhone range works well (yes, there is 5G) and its new premium feel on hand seems to be its secret weapon.
