The latest iPhone 12 leaks show up close design details for the upcoming smartphone series in the form of CAD-based dummy models. Australian leakster, @SonnyDickson recently shared images of dummy iPhone 12 models in the rumored 5.4-inch, 6.1-inch, and 6.7-inch display versions.
There are expected to be four iPhone 12 models announced later this year, including a standard iPhone 12 in 5.4-inch and 6.1-inch versions, a 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro, and a 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max. The devices are all expected to feature 120Hz OLED displays, the A14 chip, and 5G connectivity among their main features.
The dummy models also show camera details for the prospective iPhone 12 models. Current rumors suggest the standard models will feature a dual-lens setup and the Pro models will feature a triple-lens setup. Other rumors indicate at least the 6.7-inch model, if not all four models will feature a LiDAR depth sensor, which will work as a time-of-flight sensor to enable AR features and higher quality bokeh and portrait photography. However, this leak does not include that component.
Many note that the dummy models suggest a look for the iPhone 12 series reminiscent of the iPhone 4; however, Dickson also mentioned that these mockups will likely lack the details that differentiate the iPhone 12 from older versions. Dummy models are typically used as a base for case-makers to release accessories before devices are officially launched and may get the general shape right, without giving away defining details.
Other recent iPhone 12 rumors suggest production for the components and the device itself will begin between late June and July. The A14 processing chip may use a Qualcomm X60 modem to enable mmwave and sub-6GHz 5G and may get a performance and battery life boost from a 5-nanometer process.
Additionally, there are murmurs the iPhone 12 Pro models may feature 6GB of RAM, a base of 128GB of internal storage, and a 4400mAh battery for the Pro Max.
Many details won’t be confirmed until Apple unveils its new smartphone series; however, the launch event may be delayed to as late as October due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
