Apple's iPhone 12 may not be the phone that was expected, as new leaked information indicates that the notch will not be smaller, there will not be a quad rear camera array, and only the 67-inch iPhone 12 will have a LiDAR sensor

YouTuber EverythingApplePro tweeted an image that he claims is a CAD rendering of the iPhone 12, and while it shows that the next iPhone will have flat edges like the iPhone 5, EverythingApplePro will not have many of the features previously suggested in the leak That may be disappointing for some iPhone fans who were expecting a bigger upgrade than the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro

The CAD renderings appear to be what case makers use to design cases for the phone's launch, in this case the iPhone 12 in September As such, these designs need to be taken with a pinch of salt, but they at least seem to give a good idea of what the phone will look like with the redesigned body

Taken together, the rumors so far seem to indicate that the iPhone 12 will not only have a new design, but will also come in three sizes in four models: the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Max at 54" and 61", the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max at 61 iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max are 61" and 67" Of these, the iPhone 12 Pro mode is expected to feature a 120 Hz refresh rate display It has also been rumored that all four models will have smaller display cutouts, but the new leaked renderings have led EverythingApplePro to doubt this

The two "vanilla" iPhone 12 devices are expected to feature a dual rear camera setup, while the Pro model was said to have a triple camera array and a LiDAR sensor similar to that found on the iPad Pro 2020

However, based on new renderings, it appears that the iPhone 12 Pro will only have a trio of rear cameras and will not have a LiDAR sensor The larger iPhone 12 Pro Max, on the other hand, will have the same camera configuration but will also add a LiDAR sensor In other words, those who want the best next-generation iPhone 12 will have to buy the Pro Max, and it will not be cheap

However, there is a further development in the information from Jon Prosser, a regular Apple tech tipster The reputable leaker has tweeted several responses to EverythingApplePro's tweets and replies, indicating that he is not convinced by either the YouTuber's claims or the validity of the rendered images

Since there is currently no hard evidence to suggest which of the technical leakers is correct, it will be up to you to decide which you agree with

We will have to wait until at least September to get an official look at what is next for the iPhone But with Samsung's Galaxy Note 20 just around the corner, Apple will need to bring something special if the iPhone 12 is going to compete for the best phone crown
