A leaked live image of the 54-inch iPhone 12 display has given us our first look at the smallest next-generation iPhone

Brought to us by Weibo user Digital Chat Station (via MyFixGuide), the image shows the next smaller iPhone with a larger display and smaller size than the iPhone SE 2020

As the photo shows, the Face ID notch remains intact, and Digital Chat Station claims it is the same size as the previous generation iPhone with the notch Normally, this would not be a concern, but given that it is the smallest of the Face ID-equipped iPhones, the majority of the display is taken up by the notch

On the other hand, the bezels at the edges of the display appear to have shrunk a bit It is hard to say without seeing the actual phone's display, but it would not be an unreasonable change for Apple

According to rumors we have heard, Apple plans to replace the curved sides of the iPhone 11 with more compact, flat sides on the iPhone 12, and a smaller bezel would certainly help with that

The 54-inch iPhone 12 will be the basic model in this series and could start at $649 The iPhone 12 Max and iPhone 12 Pro will then increase in size to 61 inches, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max will be 67 inches

According to leaked information so far, all iPhone 12 series will be 5G-enabled and feature the A14 Bionic chipset; all four models should have OLED displays, marking the first time that Apple's flagship models have no LCD display options for the first time

There is more to mention about the Pro model Its OLED display will have a 120Hz "ProMotion" refresh rate, and the Pro Max is also expected to have a LiDAR depth sensor in its triple rear camera array Depending on which leak is correct, the standard iPhone 12 Pro could also have a LiDAR sensor However, it will definitely have three rear cameras, and these are expected to be upgraded from those on the iPhone 11 Pro

As has been Apple's custom for several years, these phones will likely be released in September However, with the Coronavirus outbreak disrupting Apple's supply chain and manufacturing, the retail launch may be delayed a month to October
