Much is already known. Smartphones will receive a full redesign, another unusual camera, updated displays and many other features. In this article, we have collected all the reliable information about the future iPhone. After reading the material, many of you will definitely want to start saving money by next fall.
How many new iPhones will there be?
Apple will again release three new smartphones in 2020. About it reported authoritative analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who is famous for dozens of correct predictions regarding Apple devices. According to his sources, the following will be released in the fall of 2020:
- 5.4-inch iPhone with OLED screen,
- 6.1-inch iPhone with OLED screen,
- 6.7-inch iPhone with OLED screen.
All new Apple smartphones of 2020 will have OLED display. iPhones with LCD displays will be a thing of the past.
Name
Just a few years ago, there was no doubt about how Apple would call its new smartphones. The iPhone 5 was followed by the iPhone 5s, and after that everyone was waiting for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s. No surprises, complete stability.
But everything changed after the release iPhone X. Apple began to practice naming. It got to such a point that the company's latest 6.5-inch smartphone is called iPhone 11 Pro Max! If you told someone in 2015 that the iPhone would soon have such a name, they would definitely not believe it.
Apple itself seems to like such names. At the moment, there are no obvious leaks about what the 2020 iPhones will be called. There are only assumptions based on the names of the latter iPhone models.
Most likely, Apple will name the following iPhone smartphones 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, by analogy with previous models. The names are cumbersome, but you won’t get lost in them.
At the same time, the “starter” and less expensive model of the iPhone 12 will have a 6.1-inch display. The iPhone 12 Pro is 5.4-inch, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max is 6.7-inch. This was confirmed by the same expert Ming-Chi Kuo.
Design
The new iPhones will have an updated design. Apple will greatly change the appearance of its smartphones for the first time in three years.
The main innovation will be related to the shape of the body. The connecting frame will no longer be round, its angles will be right. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, such a design decision will make the new iPhones look like the legendary iPhone 4.
Also, the rectangular side edges of the iPhone 12 will be similar to the edges of tablets. By the way, when Apple first introduced iPad Pro 2018 in a new design, experts immediately suggested the imminent appearance of similar faces in the iPhone. This information was later confirmed by other leaks.
Used for iPhone cases 12 materials will change. First of all, the new iPhones will have a metal frame with a more complex design using new casting technology. The frame will connect solid protected glass, which will cover the front and back surfaces of the case.
As Ming-Chi Kuo reported, due to the use of technologies unique to the iPhone, production costs will increase. According to the analyst, the maximum increase could be 60%. How much this will affect the final price of the iPhone 12 is unknown.
iPhone 12 in the style of iPhone 4 (concept)
The specialist also emphasized that rectangular frames in the style of the iPhone 4 and new materials will change the appearance of the new products “significantly.” Note that the analyst usually does not throw around such statements. Most likely, we are indeed in for a powerful redesign of the iPhone.
The design of the iPhone 12 will also be refreshed on the front surface. By data insider Ben Geskin, Apple will be able to get rid of the “unibrow” in the next iPhones.
This means that the frame around the perimeter of the screen in the iPhone 12 will have the same thickness. Geskin presented a visualization of such a design solution. It's important to note that this concept is based on leaks and not a confirmed prototype or CAD drawings.
iPhone 12 without “unibrow”
The new iPhones will receive significant changes in appearance throughout the body. Ming-Chi Kuo is confident that the redesign will allow smartphones to become incredibly popular among consumers.
By the way, the expert increased his expectations for iPhone sales after a leak about the redesign appeared. Now the expert believes that in 2020 Apple will sell 85 million smartphones at once. For comparison, in 2019 this figure will be approximately 75 million.
Display
All new Apple smartphones in 2020 will have OLED screens. Leading analysts stated this, and also indicated potential Apple suppliers.
Battery
Battery capacity in new iPhones not yet disclosed. We should expect another increase, as was the case with the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Apple's 2019 flagships received noticeable increased battery life- for four and five hours, respectively.
However, you shouldn’t expect the same big increase in the iPhone 12. The reason is that the new iPhones will receive support for fifth generation networks. The presence of 5G modems in smartphones will certainly negatively affect the operating time without recharging.
Connection
Yes, there was a spoiler above. The new iPhone 12 will be the first iPhones to support 5G. Especially for this purpose, Apple went to a truce with 5G modem manufacturer Qualcomm. Litigation that lasted for several years was terminated in order to jointly cooperate.
Protection systems
Back in early 2019 on the Internet there were rumors about Apple's intention to equip the iPhone 12 with an in-screen fingerprint scanner. According to the leaks, the company plans to complement the Face ID face scanning function by offering users an alternative.
However, there was not a single confirmation of this information from more or less reliable sources. In this regard, for now information about the return of Touch ID to the iPhone is nothing more than rumors.

As for Face ID, there are no confirmed leaks about improvements to the feature in the iPhone 12.
iPhone 12 price in Russia
The most interesting thing is the price. It is highly likely that the cost of the new iPhone 12 will be higher compared to previous models.
Firstly, the iPhone 12 is the first model of a new series of Apple smartphones. Secondly, the cost of production will increase due to the use of new technologies. And thirdly, Apple did not raise prices for iPhone in 2019, which surprised many experts. Probably, the price increase was postponed until 2020 and the first iPhone from the new cycle.
We expect the price of the new iPhones to increase by at least $50.
iPhone 12 price in Russia:
Note: These are estimated prices based on projections and leaks.
- iPhone 12 - from 63,990 rubles.
- iPhone 12 Pro - from 93,990 rubles.
- iPhone 12 Pro Max - from 103,990 rubles.
More accurate information on likely prices for new iPhones will appear closer to September 2020.
iPhone 12 release date
The presentation and release of the next iPhone models will take place according to Apple's traditional schedule. In 2019, Russia was included in the list of countries in the first wave in which new iPhones became available. We expect a similar move from the American company in a year. Thanks to this, you will be able to purchase heavily updated iPhones in Russia in the second half of September.

It is assumed that all three new iPhones of 2020 will be launched at the same time, as in 2019 with the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max.

In 2017, Apple surprised us with new iPhones. The company has released two and a half new smartphones with strange naming. She skipped and jumped over the iPhone 9. Let's deal with the last one.
iPhone 8 and iPhone X (10ka) were released in 2017
The first two are almost identical to the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. However, they received three new body options, a glass back, wireless charging and the A11 Bionic processor - the most powerful mobile solution on the market.
The iPhone has never had such durable glass on both sides. The frame matches the body and is made of aerospace-grade aluminum. Three colors to choose from:"space grey", silver and gold. (Apple)
The glass of 8rock is indeed a little harder than that of 7rock. At least tests show that it reaches 6 on the Mohs scale versus 5, which was previously.
iPhone X is Apple's main innovation. Practically frameless smartphone with a strangely shaped screen. A new price, which is especially scary in Russian realities, and a real Kinect instead of Touch ID. We still need to touch it, but so far it’s scary.
iPhone 8 - marketing, iPhone X - anniversary
We've already talked about why Apple skipped the iPhone 7s and went straight to the 8k in the name. It seems to me that this is nothing more than a marketing ploy - and quite obvious.
The fact is that Apple's main competitor (the one with Korean roots) already produces flagship smartphones of the 8th line. A lag in this case can be fraught with a significant decrease in sales. That's the whole story.
We always dreamed of making an iPhone one large display. A display so impressive that you'll forget about it physical device. And such a smart device that it responds to touch, word and even glance. (Apple)
And this is how Apple describes the iPhone X, which isn't even out yet. In 2017, it was exactly ten years since the release of the very first iPhone (popularly known as the iPhone 2G). Therefore, there is not an “X” in the name, but a proud 10ka.
In the end, everything seems to be logical. But with this situation, Apple has led itself into a real naming trap. And it is in this article that I want to make my assumption about how she will look for a way out.
iPhone 9: out of date a year before presentation
The iPhone X, which not everyone will be able to afford this year, will turn out to be a real testing ground for Apple. With its help, it will test new technologies that will be used in the future. Yes, on you and for your own money.
Therefore, next year the iPhone X will not replace the iPhone 8 in the company's line of smartphones. Most likely, in 2018 Apple will release the iPhone 9, which will have a design that is familiar from the days of the iPhone 6. What else will it contain:
- New processor A12 with a strange code name
- A little more RAM - at least 4 GB
- May be Face ID- there is just a place for him on the “forehead”
iPhone 9 will definitely not be called a revolution. It will be another evolutionary continuation of the classic line of Apple smartphones. I’m sure that I myself will similarly lean towards the iPhone 9 or 9 Plus.
Well, the masses will scold 9ki for the lack of innovation, but with great pleasure to buy. And all because fresh alternatives with a logo in the form of a bitten apple will be much more expensive.
iPhone X Update: will be delayed until 2019
In September next year, Apple should introduce something like the iPhone XI (11). This device will be slightly different from the iPhone X - the same body size, similar screen, and so on.
But some characteristics will definitely need to be tightened up for the sake of 2018. And this is natural, because selling last year’s device without changes at the same price will be too difficult. What will change:
- New processor A12 with a strange code name
- A little more RAM - at least 4 GB
- Some new body color, it’s already like a tradition
- Another new selling feature
Similar to the iPhone X, which obviously will not hit the masses until 2018, the iPhone XI will be delayed until 2019. Apple will definitely still have problems with the supply of OLED screens, so there are no options here.
But 2019 is the time to present a fundamentally new iPhone. This year the company will definitely abandon classic smartphones and will have to surprise with something new. Previously, I simply would not have expected any innovations.
iOS 14, unlike iOS 13, which was largely developed specifically for the iPad, will focus on expanding functionality iPhone. Fourteenth iteration of the operating room Apple systems will include native support for 5G modems, providing flagship smartphones the company has the opportunity to operate in fifth generation networks at ultra-high speeds.
In addition to supporting 5G, iOS 14 will focus on improving augmented reality. Apple intends to continue to develop in this direction, since, most likely, simultaneously with the release of the iPhone 12, for which iOS 14 will become the standard version of the OS, the company will present its own AR headset with the ability to connect to a smartphone.
Until now, the eleventh version of iOS was considered the most unsuccessful version. Apple had to release bug fixes six times; it took about two months for iOS 11 to learn to behave decently. The thirteenth version of iOS broke this record: it took eight releases-fixes to put it in order. One of the releases could not be counted, but the corrections are not yet completed, on the stocks, the third beta version of which is available for testing.
Despite the fact that six whole years have passed since Apple abandoned skeuomorphism in iOS, there are still those who still dream of its return. During this time, a new generation of users has grown up who have never encountered this design concept and, most likely, will not encounter it again, because Apple is unlikely to return to using it. Still, they usually prefer not to look at the past, but to move exclusively to the future, in which there is no place for outdated developments. But why not dream?
Last night, Apple resumed its beta testing program for proprietary operating systems, presenting the first test build. This is already the sixth update released after iOS 13, less than two months have passed since its release - for a minute. However, unlike previous updates, this one will become truly independent, since Apple has already implemented all the functions that it presented at WWDC’2019, which means that iOS 13.3 will most likely contain several significant innovations that have not appeared anywhere before.
Recently (and long ago) Apple has switched from a two-year iPhone design update cycle to a three-year one. Like, smartphones are becoming more and more complex. In one year of mass production, all the “jambs” cannot be corrected. Therefore, everyone but those are now waiting for September 2020 to see the all-new, revolutionary and innovative iPhone that is set to set a new benchmark in the industry.
There are only a couple of days left until the release of the final iOS versions 13, which we have all been waiting for since June of this year. It’s worth installing it not only for the night theme and a couple of new functions: the recently introduced ones will become available in iOS 13 Apple services- for example, where games are available for every taste.
Many device users are already accustomed to gestures on the iPhone and iPad and the multi-touch function, which allows you to interact with operating system using not one, but several fingers at once. Perhaps in the near future we will all forget about the usual interaction with technology: the corporation is already patenting new technology in this direction. It will measure the owner’s biometric parameters and send the necessary command to the gadget.
Not so long ago we published material on our website in which. But even if we put aside the subjective point of view, the “Phone” application has really remained almost unchanged since its release original iPhone 2G. Obviously, this did not go without due attention from the public. One of the users of the Reddit portal even decided to contact Craig Federighi, Apple's vice president of software, in the hope of getting an answer to this question.
Much is already known. Smartphones will receive a full redesign, another unusual camera, updated displays and many other features. In this article, we have collected all the reliable information about the future iPhone. After reading the material, many of you will definitely want to start saving money by next fall.
