I'm being to get a little disappointed for the holy grail 5.4" to replace my SE.
months back when rumours circulated that the 2020 phones would get a redesign, I had hoped that the 5.4" would be designed that way, but with the latest rumours that there are four devices and that only the Pros will get the redesign (and presumably smaller notch) that leaves me out luck.
I now assume the lineup to be:
iPhone 12: 5.4" / 6.1"
(iPhone 6 profile)
iPhone 12 Pro: 6.1" / 6.7"
(iPhone 4 profile)
I'm sad. 😢
Silver lining - I prefer a brushed finish to polished stainless steel and I have a feeling that they'll make the arguably wrong decision to keep the polished finish, giving it a flat mirror surface.
If that's the case It'll show fingerprints and imperfections even more clearly than the X / 11
Realistically, every model of iPhone 12 will get a redesign without having the notch to differentiate from iPhone 11.
