The side design of Apple's iPhone 12 series, which is scheduled to be released this year, is expected to be flat like the iPhone 5 and iPad Pro. Apple is also preparing to release a smaller size "HomePod" and an "Air Tag" to prevent loss.
According to Bloomberg and others on the 13th (local time), the sides of the iPhone 12 model, which is scheduled to be released in the second half of this year, will be flat and stainless steel frames will be applied. Apple will release a total of four models, 5.4-inch models, two 6.1-inch models and 6.7-inch models in the second half, of which the design is expected to be applied to the iPhone 12 Pro (6.1-inch) and the iPhone 12 Pro Max (6.7-inch) models. As the sides become flat like the iPhone 5, the design is expected to be similar to the 2018 iPad Pro.
Bloomberg said, "Some of the 5G iPhones to be released in 2020 will be equipped with stainless steel materials in flat-sided designs," adding that some models are likely to be released weeks later than fall. Apple engineers will visit China in May to finalize product design," it said.
Notched design of front camera of iPhone is also expected to change. It is also expected that the notch in Face ID will be reduced by one-third or half compared to the previous one. Apple is also looking for ways to get rid of the notch completely, but the notch remains until the iPhone, which will be released this year, and needs more time to completely disappear.
The rear camera of the top two models of the iPhone 12 is 'Lada' It is expected to be equipped with a 'scanner.' It is expected to be able to further expand its augmented reality service. In 2020, the iPad was also equipped with a radar scanner. The iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max have triple cameras and lids. It is widely expected that a scanner will be installed. A radar scanner is a technology that identifies the distance of light when it takes a light to touch an object and then return. Mounting a radar scanner can measure the distance of objects within 5 meters.
Apple is also developing a smaller and cheaper artificial intelligence speaker, "HomePod," and is expected to be released as early as the end of this year. It is likely to be released in half the size of existing homepods. In addition, it is predicted that AirTag, a device that prevents loss using location tracking technology, will be released by the end of this year. Bloomberg predicted that air tags will be released along with key chains and leather sleeves.
