Apple iPhone 12 Design Details Emerge Including Thinner Frames, Larger Image Sensors

Apple will have new iPhone models to launch this fall that are expected to be part of the iPhone 12 family. New details have surfaced about the iPhone 12 and its design. The latest rumor claims that the iPhone 12 line could have the same exterior design as the iPhone 11, but with vastly superior camera technology. 

The new design rumor is different than reports from noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who perviously said that the iPhone 12 will have a different and boxy design similar to that of the iPhone 4. The new rumor also claims that the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 will have a height between that of the iPhone SE and the iPhone 8. The rumor claims that the 6.1-inch version will fall between the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro Max. The 6.7-inch iPhone 12 is tipped to be a bit taller than the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

The report claims that the 6.7-inch iPhone 12 will be 7.4mm thick, which is thinner than the current Pro Max's 8.1mm thickness. The main camera is said to have a larger sensor as well. While past rumors have claimed that the 5.4-inch and 6.1-inch models will have dual-camera setups, new reports of the 6.1-inch device suggest it will have a rear triple camera system and a 3D time-of-flight sensor, as will the 6.7-inch version.

The notch on the screen of the iPhone 12 isn't expected to shrink this year. A rumor from earlier this month tipped the iPhone 12 devices to get rear ToF sensors, revised Face ID hardware, and other new features.
