This feels kind of click baity, we have no real clues as to what Apple will do other than not a hole punch if they are able to put the camera and sensors below the screen 2 years down the road.
couldn't apple have snatched up periscope cameras years ago? I remember the patents. its kinda pathetic to be this far behind Samsung
I'm still running with my X and 2022 sounds like the year I will upgrade. It looks like that will be the first year with improvements compelling enough to make it worthwhile.
I do wish Apple would follow Samsung and switch the names of their phones to years instead of versions. i.e. call it Iphone 22 instead of Iphone 14. It's just easier to remember.

Here are my predications for the iPhone 20:
- better screen
- improved camera
- faster processor
Which is about all this speculative article does as well.

I like the "?"at the end of it all... Not only leaves it open, but also says "I've gone too deep down that rabbit hole.. Now how do i get out?"
Apple's put all sort of gizmos, and sensors inside of this thing. It's starting to turn into Mission Impossible. But Apple never gives up....
So back to under the screen TouchID we go.

We spend far too much time discussing hardware. The real advance with the iPhone will be the software.
iOS needs to adapt to the range of devices Apple now offers.
There's so much wasted space on the larger iPhones, especially the Max. Apple needs to optimise iOS to take advantage of individual screen sizes of devices. The fact the Max has the same menus, icons etc as the rest of the line-up, only more spaced out, is absurd.
File management is still horrendous as the Files app is next to useless. Podcasts, Music and most other native apps needs a thorough re-write. Most of all is Mail. How Mail has been mostly ignored for the last 10 years is beyond me. It's far too basic and lacks features modern mail apps have had for over half a decade!
I could write 10,000 words and still not cover everything I'd like to see. Apple needs to go for it and be a lot more bolder with change. No one's going to complain if they try new things. Except MacRumors users, obviously.

Why do you need to remember the year a phone was released?
They should just call it iPhone and iPhone Pro and be done with the numbering. The only reason numbers exist is because the marketing people think it helps. Thanks to them we get daft names like iPhone 12 Pro Max.
The article is quite long, so to summarise it for those who didn’t have time to read it in full, Apple will continue to copy features from other manufacturers at a healthy pace over the coming years 😀
The flat edges of the 12 will stay, only a hole punch instead of a notch. Perhaps flat camera module. Nothing radical
If this article is to materialize, I would buy the 2022 with TouchID hopefully (even if not under display), hole punch instead of the notch, a nice x65 for true 5G (combined with 4nm cpu = more battery life) and upgraded cameras. Plus what is predicted to come with the iPhone 13 (120hz lpto display, 128GB base model, wifi 6E compatibility).
Then upgrade in 2024, I’m always skeptical with 1st gen products (Apple own first 5G modem, first foldable iPhone). Time has proven that those revealed flaws when mass procuced (iphone 6 bend gate, antennagate, touch disease, 1st gen touchID tricked by glue, airpods pro crackling...)

All this sounds pretty cool. Time will tell if it comes true. I wont be getting a new iPhone until 2024. Hopefully by then it will have a 120 Hz screen, periscope zoom, no notch or hole punch, flat camera bump (no lens bumps), and an Apple designed modem.
It’s not really that simple, it’s also about volume of devices. Getting the parts to make 200 million iPhones. Periscope lens I believe Apple has had in sight for a while and getting the parts was an issue. So they need to source from Samsung which from the sounds they wanted to avoid happening
For a folding phone Apple will need a lot of folding panels compared to android. As there will be more demand
Not as simple as using making the phone. The production side of things is the real issue here.
Full screen phones still don’t exist on phones with any decent amount of production. Samsung likely won’t make theirs on their s line til 2022
Apple are never likely to be first with these features and getting the parts and producing so many is a big issue which takes time.
Periscope zoom is a big shame if we have to wait another two years as it’s the only thing missing from apples best cameras
Here's an idea for a future phone. One that works. A phone that charges wirelessly with no issues. A phone that I do not have to reset once every other day because it has stopped charging wirelessly.
Apple needs to FIX the problems of the current models before moving on to "foldable" models.

Apple is never about doing it first. Apple is about going it better. Classic example is Touch ID. Finger print readers existed prior to the 5s.
Face ID? Which vendor has the functionality equivalent if Face ID with a hole punch and no forehead or chin?
To apple it’s about the experience, not throwing hardware around.
Is this what Apple does? Recycles designs to sell to a customer base too ignorant to notice? If you believe that, your view of the apple customer base is skewed to say the least.
Apple’s best innovations are always the quietest ones. Consider how biometric ID wasn’t really a huge game changer at the time on the 5S but now every phone has it.
White elephants like folding phones are big companies like Samsung’s way of making it seem like they’re innovating and problem solving but the truth is these are solutions looking for a problem, technology for technologies’ sake (Remember the S4?!)
Apple’s quietest idea most recently is LiDAR. Aside from the niche use of 3D scanning tech being in a phone (which is bloody awesome if you know how to use it!) capturing the depth information when taking a picture opens up a lot of editing and archival properties.

Foldable phone is DOA.
No logical reasoning for having it.
Also rather have TouchID and FaceID (within the button -Touch- and within the bezel -Face-) than a hole punch or notch. Get rid of the notch, and don’t replace it with what Android has been using for years (hole punch). Huge backwards misstep if it goes that way. They should have the R&D / new tech to put the camera etc under the screen, but put it in the bezel by 2022 at least until its flawless for underneath. Anything less than that is lagging behind IMO.

This is getting stupid. We still have approximately six months before the 13 comes out and now some wacko reports talk about the iPhone 14 which is a year and a half away. 🤪 I guess some people just wanna fill up the page with something, anything for us to click on.
