Hands On With iPhone 12 Models Showing New Sizes and Design

It will be a XR or 11 kind of compromise, which is not much of a compromise at all. Even less with the OLED display, smaller XS/11 Pro-like bezels and smaller notch, as per leaks.
I would have chosen the XR or 11 if it wasn't for the size.
These mocks are always spot on but they’re always missing a finishing detail that makes them look like garbage until Apple reveals the actual product. Last year it was the fogged glass. Can’t wait to see what this year’s mocks are missing.
I hate the square edges of the 4/5 series, but I’ll be using a case so it won’t be uncomfortable to hold.
I’m that one. It’s looking mighty close for sure. Still need to hammer that camera wart back in, or rub some Prep H on it, or St Johns Wart maybe.
That’s a huge let down on the 5.4” phone not being considered a “Pro” model. Apple should really consider giving the 5.4” form factor all the same features as the Pro models and give it the same price and see if people actually prefer those huge phones. I for one, will always go for the smaller version of any phone as long as it has the same features otherwise! I can’t stand the trend to larger and larger /phones!/
Hopefully it's because there's going to be a LIDAR camera in there among other goodies that require the larger space. Definitely looking forward to the 6.7" model!
I’d love to know where you got them and roughly how much they were. My usual practice is to hang out in an Apple store for a while, after launch, going back and forth between the different sizes, holding / manipulating them to figure out which sizes I can work with. In the foreseeable future, hanging out in an Apple store is much less appealing. If I could obtain some of these (well, the smaller two, anyway), it’d be worth a bit of money to figure out what size works for me (even given that they’re dummy units, and the camera layout is likely incorrect).
same thing that happened to the 1S, 2, 2S, 3, 3S, 7s, 8s, 9, 9s... lol

rumor is midnight green will be replaced by a navy blue hue
Dan, Macrumours,
See - great production values give you phones that aren't covered in scratches and also offer cameras on tripods with studio lighting!
You put my wonky pics to shame
Cheers!

[$4.40] For iPhone 12 Pro Max Black Screen Non-Working Fake Dummy Display Model(Silver)
1. This dummy phone model is designed for iPhone 12 Pro Max. This fake model is exactly the same in the appearance, size of the real phone, and pattern on the screen, but it canot work. <br>2. Party Pranks: Great for pranks and parties! Trick your friends and family into thinking you destroyed...
Funny that after all the hope for a small phone with the SE 2... a proper small one arrives a few months later in the 12.
Flat edges were probably smart move as it allows Apple to maximize screen arae and make 5.4" phone not much bigger then SE/5s but still pack it with relatively big screen.
Can someone/macrumors compare real screen areas of phones?
Same 6.7" is not much bigger while holding bigger screen. And last Apple has line of phones that differentiate from each other more then before.
It will be strongest line to date not counting what Apple plans to do with 5G if anything special.
And imagine how popular 5.4" will become in few years on second hand market when it will reach 200-300 USD price.

I have found Forbes article with sizes and used it for my own comparison.
5.4" iPhone 12 has 140-150% of screen area of original SE.
if only aapl would fit all that ip12 goodness into the footprint of original 1st generation se dimension
Probably.
But I don’t rule out the possibility of some new feature that, while we don’t have or even know we want but then feel like we can’t live without, could make its way to the higher end models. Or it could just be a desirable feature we’ve been clamoring for like the return of Touch ID.
Obligatory: First world problem at its best 😁
Same. I'm using an X, and I'd happily trade for a slightly smaller phone. Especially if it's built more like the SE, and less like the 6/7/8/X/11/SE with those fugly rounded corners.
