Earlier this week we got to see the iPhone 12 Pro casing minus the screen. And now, thanks to a new rendering by @apple_idesigner, we have a good idea of what it will look like with the screen in place where it belongs.

Not only does this photo match all the latest rumors about the iPhone 12 Pro's design, but it also matches leaked information about the chassis down to the smallest detail, including the new location of the SIM tray and 5G antenna.

Putting the screen in doesn't add much to this, but at least we can confirm other details we know: the notch is still hanging down, and the home button won't be returning anytime soon.

Aesthetics will likely divide opinion, but the flat edges and gently curved corners recall the feel of the 2010 iPhone 4. Of course, a decade's worth of progress has not been lost. The screen now covers almost the entire front, and the camera array is considerably more complex.

In addition to the three cameras, a LiDAR depth sensor, previously found only on the latest iPad Pro, has been added. In addition to the rumored main camera, telephoto lens, and wide-angle shooter, the LiDAR depth sensor will reportedly allow for better autofocus, low light, and AR performance.

@apple_idesigner has so far only created renderings of the iPhone 12 Pro, but looking at past versions, the standard iPhone 12 will not look much different. The main differences are size (5.4" and 6.1" for the iPhone 12, 6.1" and 6.7" for the iPhone 12 Pro) and number of cameras; we had heard that the Pro version would have a 120 Hz screen, but the latest information seems to indicate that this feature has been abandoned.

As for everyday performance, the iPhone 12 family should be the same across the board, with all devices benefiting from the brand new A14 Bionic processor. Not only will this provide better performance than the previous generation, but the 5nm manufacturing process will improve efficiency and potentially significantly improve battery life.

The iPhone 12 series should be officially unveiled soon, but those expecting to see the device at Apple's event next week will most likely be disappointed. Next week will be all about the Apple Watch 6, and the iPhone 12 is said to be announced near its October release. That is later than usual, but then past years have not been interrupted by global pandemics ...
