Apple will show four new iPhones this fall. According to the well-known hysterical insider John Prosser, they will be shown in mid-October, and they will go on sale in two waves: the younger models at the end of October, and the older ones sometime in November.
Apple Leaks: iPhone 12 presentation will take place in mid-October

However, the shift in the timing of the presentation of iPhones, officially confirmeddid not stop case makers from launching their products. And it is from them that the publication 9to5Mac received photos of dummy – models of future devices.
Here’s a comparison of the iPhone 11 Pro (or Pro Max) versus the successor layout:
All four models are expected to receive rectangular edges similar to those found in the first generation iPhone 4/5 / SE, as well as in the intermediate models. This solution will allow displays to be slightly enlarged without increasing the size of the devices. So, for example, the successor to the iPhone 11 Pro Max with the same dimensions will receive a display with a diagonal of not 6.5, but 6.7 inches.
Four models will be produced in three sizes. The former will be similar to the iPhone 11 Pro Max, two more versions will be identical to the iPhone 11 Pro, and will also be the smallest model with a 5.4-inch display. The dimensions of the latter will be something in between the iPhone SE of the first and second generations.

So far, two main questions remain: how the camera unit will look like on the “proshki” and how the “monobrow” will look like. The fact is that many renders represent a block of cameras with lenses placed at the corners:
But then it is not very clear why Apple made the current camera unit in the form of a triangle inscribed in a square. The point is, Apple is a pretty conservative design company. It doesn’t change it every year, so this fall I guess we should expect an iPhone 12 Pro / Pro Max with a camera block similar to the iPhone 11 Pro / Pro Max. The differences will be in the presence of a lidar similar to that of the iPad Pro (2020).
Another question is what will be the “monobrow”. Apple will definitely not abandon its Face ID system in 2020. This is a fairly large module that combines front cameras, an IR dot projector, and a “radar” that picks up infrared radiation. This mechanism takes up a lot of space, and, unfortunately, there is no way to hide it.
However, there are rumors that the “monobrow” will become smaller. My guess is that the smallest iPhone 12 will be a monobrow, with proportions to the screen identical to those of the iPhone 11/11 Pro. At the same time, its dimensions will not change depending on the magnification of the model – that is, the larger the iPhone, the smaller the “monobrow”.
We have previously collected all the rumors about the iPhone 12 family in one text:
