I suppose you could have front to back asymmetry. Maybe curved at the back and squared at the front, like the Siri Remote or iPod Touch?
Got a tip for us?

Samsung???
And Apple should be held to a high standard. Think Steve Jobs. He wouldn’t think my desires are out of touch would he? I think not

I can fry my own eggs. We’re just asking for no notch etc!
I, so excited about the squared design. I don’t care about the notch. It has never been an issue for me.
That’s a cop out. Means you don’t have a better idea.

Didn’t the iPad Pro happen on his watch?
And iphone 5, and iphone 4 ...
It’s not like this will be the first iphone with flat sides.
Naturally design is totally subjective, but although I love the iPhone 4 as the best industrial design Apple ever made, I've always felt the humble 5C had the best ergonomic design. A soft rounded back where your palm rests and squared front which let the screen run closer to the edge.
Of course everyone hated it because it was 'cheap and plastic', but in my opinion the functionality of it was excellent.
My X is already blazing fast and takes good enough pics. Hard to imagine the 12 being worth it. My phone before that was a 6 so the update was significant. Not sure what it’s going to take nowadays for me to bother. I like 120Hz on bigger screens but it honestly makes very little difference to me on my phone.
I feel like next year is THE year with Apple rumored to drop the Lightning connector.

So we can remove the the slimmer bezels and smaller notch rumors
In one month we will remove the promotion rumor Also
Well, if that’s the case then the notch is still the same size. At least Apple is finally catching up on making the border bezels around the phone slightly thinner. At least there’s a slight improvement. It seems to take Apple like 2-3 years to catch up to other manufacturers.
When will it be the case again that Apple blows away people with their design? It seems it has been ages. Since so many years other manufacturers like Samsung are making better hardware design innovations while Apple is lagging behind.
Samsung, Oppo, Huawei and co will probably have fullscreen phones next year with camera tech under the screen while Apple will still have that nasty notch for another 3-4 years perhaps.

Wow if that’s the case WTF. iPhone 13 and still looks like that with huge notch and thick border bezels?

except for the screen - way bigger, and the cameras - way bigger. Looks similar, but not the same. The only reason they change the design ever is for those with short attention spans who need the new and get bored.
see all the comments “I won’t buy an iPhone6sssss”
According to this article:
www.forbes.com
the 5.4" will be called the iPhone 12, and the 6.1" will be called the iPhone 12 Max. (Then you have iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max.)

It's only a rumour....but Jony would have said,

Their research on under-screen TouchID isn’t completed yet. Such a shame! I will keep my iPhone 7 until then...
Early 2000's Nokia enters the chat
The strangest Nokia phones ever designed (gallery)
Nowadays, you have the choice of only one prominent phone design: the 'patented' slate-like touch-screen smartphone. But ten years ago, Nokia mobile devices were diverse, innovative and in some cases downright strange in order to meet consumer demand.

Stop me if you have seen this before... IPhone 4 design + iPhone X notch + iPhone 11 camera... + iPhone 5 midnight color?
Exactly how I feel. It was a design that was at the limitation of technology at the time. With flush mounted glass this should be the most durable iPhone ever made. It shouldn’t hit the glass no matter how it is dropped just the frame.
What they are doing is working that’s for sure and ugly camera? Get used to it...for great cameras it is needed.
