On November 3, according to foreign media phonearena, the design of iPhone 12 will return to a sharper and simpler aesthetic style to convey the design experience of iPhone 4 and 5. It's worth mentioning that the iPhone 12 is not a real full screen phone, but apple is trying to make the front camera, face ID and microphone module smaller and smaller.
Before the launch of iPhone x, the design language of Apple's mobile phone has not changed. The iPhone 6, 7 and 8 generations seem to be carved from the same mold - except for the material, the circular edge, 2.5D glass screen and the familiar forehead, screen and chin structure, which have not changed in four or five years. But it is reported that Apple will revive the classic design of a decade ago, the iPhone 4, through the iPhone 12 in 2020. Before that, iPad Pro has tried to return to this kind of slightly sharp design.
From the rendering, the metal frame + double-sided glass material is full of the strong flavor of iPhone 4. It may be because the design language of the back 4 photo is similar to the current one, and the redesigned appearance is not abrupt, not divorced from the family design of apple. The iPhone 12 will be Apple's first 4-camera phone, possibly with a main camera, a wide-angle camera, a super wide-angle camera and a TOF camera.
In addition, according to foreign media phone arena, Apple seems to be going through the so-called "three-year product update cycle". That is to say, when the new design is introduced, it will be iterated and polished for three generations until the next update comes. It has been two years since the iPhone X was released to today, so the iPhone 12 released next year is likely to bring new design, but how big the change is still unknown.
