The iPhone 12 represents a radical redesign of Apple's flagship smartphone and could be a surprising return to one of the company's most beloved devices.

Bloomberg, citing a person familiar with Apple's plans, reports that the top iPhone 12 model will have "flat stainless steel edges" reminiscent of the iPhone 5 design, a significant change from the iPhone 11's curved casing. The Pro-level iPhone 12 is also said to have rounded corners like Apple's latest tablet, the iPad Pro.

That may not be the only feature the iPhone 12 will borrow from the iPad Pro. Adding weight to previous rumors, a Bloomberg report notes that the iPhone 12 Pro's triple camera array will be complemented by a depth-sensing LiDAR scanner that will enable immersive augmented reality capabilities.

The top-of-the-line iPhone 12 could be even larger than the 6.5-inch iPhone 11 Pro Max, and all models are expected to have a slightly shaved notch. Previous reports indicate that the iPhone 12 Pro Max will have a 6.7-inch display; all versions of the iPhone 12 will reportedly have 5G support, and all models are expected to arrive in 2020, despite the complications of the coronavirus (see (although one may be a bit later than usual).

In addition to the iPhone 12, Apple is also expected to release a smaller, cheaper version of its HomePod smart speaker this year, as well as the long-rumored Apple AirTags tracker to compete with products like the Tile. Also expected this year are the long-awaited MacBook Pro 2020 with an improved keyboard, and new versions of the entry-level iPad, Apple TV, and iMac desktop.

The 2020 roadmap is huge for Apple, especially when one considers the mid-range iPhone 9, which is scheduled for release in a few days. The approaching release event, usually held in September, should give us a more concrete idea of the company's product plans.
