There are iPhone for Dummies and there are Dummies for iPhones. MacRumors obtained dummy units that represent the three screen sizes of the Apple iPhone 12 line that we expect to see revealed later this year: 5.4 inches, 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches. Of course, the first thing you’ll notice is the return to the flat sides they made in 2010. iPhone 4 designs a fan favorite. Apple kept the sides flat across the iPhone 5s before switching to the rounded sides seen in the iPhone 11 family.
The mannequins are made for case makers using leaked specifications and schematics so they can start producing cases for the next generation iPhone models. That is why you should not look at the number of cameras on the back of each unit. Just like the previous iPhone 12 dummies we showed you were called “incomplete” in terms of the cameras, just remember why these dummies were made and you’ll understand why a case maker doesn’t care if the iPhone 12 You have two or three cameras in the module that are on the back of the phone.
The dummy models are made to help case makers start producing their accessories.
Thanks to continued use of the notch, the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 is smaller in hands than the 4.7-inch iPhone SE (2020). The 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro is obviously bigger than last year’s 5.8-inch median boy, the iPhone 11 Pro. And the upcoming iPhone 12 Pro Max will be the biggest phone. Apple has ever produced. Not just because of the 6.7-inch screen
but due to the body size of the unit. But since we broached the subject, when it comes to displays, the question is whether we’ll see a refresh rate faster than the old-school 60Hz that current iPhone models use. Earlier this year, the word was that “Pro” versions would be equipped with displays that update 120 times per second (120Hz). But some forecasters see this feature debuting in 2021.

All four new iPhones will have 5G connectivity, though the standard variants could work only with the slowest signals under 6GHz. IPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max should connect to sub-6GHz and faster (but harder to find) mmWave signals. the The iPhone 12 line will have nothing but OLED panels. When it comes to memory, standard phones are expected to come with 4GB of RAM compared to 6GB in premium units. And for the first time in iPhone history, 2020 devices should start with 128GB of storage.
The big question when it comes to cameras is whether the standard (read non-Pro) models will feature the LiDAR depth sensor. First introduced on iPad Pro 2020 tablets, this is a time-of-flight sensor that measures the time it takes for infrared light to bounce off a subject and return to the phone. Armed with this data, calculations are performed that allow the LiDAR sensor to help deliver enhanced AR capabilities and enhanced bokeh blurs in portraits. In addition to the depth sensor, “Pro” models are expected to have wide, ultra-wide, and 3x zoom telephoto cameras. Standard models should be equipped with wide and ultra-wide patches (in addition to the LiDAR sensor, possibly). Less than a week ago, trustworthy analyst Ming-Chi Kuo told TF International customers that Apple will wear seven-element lenses on upcoming phones; This should produce clearer and sharper images than the five and six element lenses used in 2019 phones.
There is no USB-C port here.
More importantly, the analyst said that the provider of camera lenses Kargan is four to six weeks behind schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This could delay the release date of the first iPhone 5G models in mid-October or early November.
