- The leaked photos appear to show the display panel of Apple’s upcoming iPhone 12.
- The notch on the iPhone 12’s screen appears to be close, if not exactly, the same size as that of the iPhone 11, despite rumors that Apple could make the notch significantly smaller in 2020.

Despite the sudden arrival of a viral pandemic, all signs point to Apple still on track to reveal the next iPhone before the end of September. There was understandable concern in the early days of the outbreak that supply chain problems, factory closings, and everyone at Apple forced to work from home would lead to significant delays, but according to reports we’ve seen up to Right now, the worst-case scenario appears to be a November launch, although most analysts and forecasters are confident that the iPhone 12 will be ready in September.
Adding fuel to that particular fire is a leak that emerged over the weekend showing suspected display panels to be used in the iPhone 12 series this fall. Originally shared on Chinese social media site Weibo, the photos appear to show multiple display panels on an assembly line. The photos have been clearly edited, they are likely to hide the identity of the person who took them, but if they are legitimate, the production of the iPhone 12 is underway.
In the case of iPhone 12 display panels, the only real information we can get from the photos is that the notch is as big as it has been on newer smartphones. At first, it was speculated that Apple would decrease the size of the sensor casing at the top of the screen this year before removing it entirely in the coming years, but the notch in the photos below looks virtually identical to that of the iPhone. eleven :

In total, Apple is expected to launch at least four iPhone 12 models this fall. In addition to the 5.4-inch iPhone 12, we also expect to see a 6.1-inch iPhone 12, a 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Max, and a 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max (although the names are obviously subject to change). The biggest mystery left is when consumers will be able to get their hands on the phones. Although the plurality of reports that we have seen recently indicate that the iPhone 12 is programmed, a report by Nikkei Asian Review earlier this month he said exactly the opposite.
