Before the launch of new iPhones, we often see dummy models created based on leaked schematics and specifications, with those models designed to allow case makers to create cases for new devices prior to launch. We have in our hands a set of fictitious models that represent the line of the iPhone 12, which gives us a first look at the design of the iPhone 4 and the different size options.
Dummy models like these often turn out to be accurate, and since these align with the excess rumors we’ve had about 2020 iPhones so far, dummies are likely to represent what we can expect to see in terms of this fall. body size and overall design.

Apple is rumored to launch four iPhones in 2020: a 5.4-inch iPhone 12, a 6.1-inch iPhone 12, a 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro, and a 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max. The two “Pro” devices in 6.1 and 6.7-inch sizes will be more expensive and high-end devices, while the 5.4-inch iPhone and other 6.1-inch iPhone will be more affordable similarly to the iPhone 11.

All 2020 iPhones are expected to feature a new design that more closely resembles the PiPhone 4 or iPad Pro with a square-edged frame and front and rear glass body, which can be seen on the fictional models. It’s a clean, sturdy design that will be a welcome welcome from the rounded corners we’ve had for iPhones since the launch of the PiPhone 6.

The 5.4-inch iPhone will be the smallest iPhone Apple has released since the original iPhone SE. It’s bigger than the original iPhone SE, but with its full-screen design, it’s smaller than the 4.7-inch 2020 iPhone SE and, of course, much smaller than the 5.8-inch iPhone 11 Pro.

Although it’s smaller than the 4.7-inch iPhone, it has a bigger screen because Apple is removing the bezels and the Touch ID home button. All iPhones in 2020 will have full-screen OLED displays with Face ID and minimal bezels.
The dummy 6.1-inch model is larger than the 5.8-inch iPhone 11 Pro, as expected, and is similar in size to the iPhone 11, which was also a 6.1-inch device. As for size, it’s not too far from existing iPhones, but the feel of the phone in hand is different due to those flat edges.
The 6.7-inch model is the largest iPhone Apple has ever released, and it’s noticeably bigger than the 6.5-inch iPhone 11 Pro Max. For those who prefer larger screens, the 6.7-inch “iPhone” will be attractive.

Both of Apple’s low-end iPhone models (5.4 and 6.1-inch) are expected to have dual-lens camera setups, while high-end models will have triple-lens cameras. There are also rumors that the Pro models could feature the same LiDAR scanner introduced in the iPad Pro.
That LiDAR scanner doesn’t show on these dummy models, and that’s because they’re designed for box makers. Box makers worry about the size of the rear camera bump, but what’s in that bump doesn’t matter to them.

For that reason, these camera setups are unlikely to accurately represent the actual camera modules added on the 2020 iPhones. The same goes for the front camera setup. There have been rumors that the notch will be smaller and that the notch is the same size on these mannequins is not necessarily an indication that those rumors are false.
There is another major design change worth noting. There is a new clipping area under the power button on some of the dummy models, which is believed to be necessary for the 5G antenna on the devices. All 2020 iPhones are expected to support 5G speeds.
