The iPhone 12 is expected to launch this fall. This year, rumors suggest that the iPhone 12 series will be offered in four screen sizes, including the entry-level iPhone 12 that could cost $ 649. The new iPhones are also expected to feature a revamped design language, OLED displays on all four phones, 3D cameras, a faster A14 processor, and 5G support.
If the leaks turn out to be true, these updates would make the new iPhones significantly better than the iPhone 11 line. Based on rumors and speculation, we take a look at some of the main differences between the iPhone 12 and iPhone 11.
iPhone 12 vs iPhone 11: variants and screen sizes
According to most analysts, Apple will offer the iPhone 12 in three screen sizes and four models. The screen size of the iPhone 12 Pro Max will feature a 6.7-inch screen size, compared to the 6.5-inch iPhone 11 Pro Max. The iPhone 12 Pro will have a 6.1-inch screen, similar to the iPhone 11. Additionally, the iPhone 12 is rumored to have a 5.4-inch screen size and the iPhone 12 Max will feature a 5.4-inch iPhone 12. The 11 series, by comparison, is available in three models and screen sizes. The iPhone 11 series consists of the 6.1-inch iPhone 11, the 5.8-inch iPhone 11 Pro, and the 6.5-inch iPhone 11 Pro Max.

iPhone 12 vs iPhone 11: design and display
Apple is rumored to be planning a major redesign for the 2020 iPhone lineup. The upcoming iPhone 12 line will have a flat-edged design that resembles the iPad Pro and iPhone 4. That means the new iPhones will eliminate the curved edges of your frame for flat, sharp edges. A smaller notch is also expected that will still house FaceID, the front camera, and other components.

In addition to a completely new design language, all four new iPhones will feature OLED displays. Currently, the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max offer an OLED screen, while the iPhone 11 has a normal LCD screen. Compared to an LCD screen, OLED screens are brighter and blacks are darker.
For the first time ever, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max will support the ProMotion 120Hz refresh rate. A 120Hz display makes scrolling through the phone smooth as butter. The advantage of a 120Hz screen can be seen when playing games and watching videos. The iPhone 11 line has a 60Hz screen.
