Yea I do hope this rumor is false, because this is exactly what I didn't want them to do. Don't want the 6.7" if they did nothing to shrink other things to keep the body size close but don't want to miss a feature either.
Got a tip for us?

Ohhhhh don't you worry they're gearing up to show off placing APPLIANCES in a room (!)
That does indeed bug me a bit, though not as much as I would’ve expected. Maybe once or twice a week. And when it does? I pull down Control Center, and there’s the full one.
I’m more irked by things like the new Reachability gesture, or the wobbliness of the 11. The notch, not much.
One day you will learn, hopefully before you’re too far along in life, that money means NOTHING once one can meet one’s basic needs in life.

I agree FaceID works awesome, but put it in the bezel or frame. Don’t ruin the user interface visibility so terribly. These reasons are why the design team doesn’t like working at Apple anymore. Nobody in the executive team gives two pennies for their work or the fascination of bringing great design. Ive left and he was the best thing ever at Apple since Jobs. Now, Ive needed a counterpart in Forstall to ensure software & hardware worked together by what is capable design given the hardware and software constraints necessary.
On a MacBook Pro, Ive made a terrible decision that wasn’t possible due to engineering as in cooling and etc. But with time, the amazing engineering at Apple’s SoC will create amazing thinness. Still, most professionals prefer proper engineering with design as a secondary nature of the beast. Right now, I would take a better OS that isn’t as bad as Catalina. Really has problems.
I think we need someone at the helm who cares just as much about product as he does about anything else. Design is extremely important to me as long as I don’t compromise key features. I don’t care how Apple implements FaceID/TouchID or any other ID as long as it works without ruining something as necessary as a method to visualize and utilize the display.
I wish death to the notch. I don’t care how they do it. But it needs to be done. It is a travesty in 2020 that we have four years of this monstrosity. I would gladly take a small symmetrical bezel that eliminates the notch. Think iPad Pro 2018/2020. Shrink that down. The 2020 iPhone is shaping up to be nothing more than 5G added to the same old interface flaws on iOS that plainly sucks. For $1.5T in value, and a plethora of engineers, someone should be able to knock some since into Cook that product designs and interface matter too!

You're talking about individuals. Baymowe335 is talking about a company. Big difference. A good CEO isn't content with just "getting by." They're always wanting to grow and improve the company, including revenue. The point is, your evaluation of Tim Cook is a highly personal bias and not shared by anyone evaluating Tim's performance from a business standpoint. Despite what you may think, I'm convinced he cares deeply about the company. Obviously not everyone will agree with every decision he makes, but what else is new? You still have to stand back and look at the big picture.
Literally the number 1 job for the CEO of a public company is increasing shareholder value. Then end.
So basically reading the OP it seems this CAD image could be just demonstrating the outer dimensions for the case manufacturers and perhaps provides no new information whatsoever. All information about the notch and fourth camera is still nothing but a rumour.
I think it would be very disappointing if the notch doesn't reduce in size this year to allow battery percentage to be displayed. Its been quite a talking point and Apple are aware of the demand so I would be surprised if they haven't developed this.

Why couldn't they simply have the percentage overlayed on top of the battery level indicator? Seems like an obvious solution to me that should be easily implemented in a routine software update without re-engineering the phone.
They could do that but have chosen not to. There is the fact that smartphones are fighting to find the best solution to providing an all screen display and Apple haven’t really changed this since 2017. It is time more development was pushed towards a notch reduction even though Apple like to stretch things out longer than other manufacturers. The earlier rumours suggested a slightly smaller notch and it would be very welcome. I agree that overlaying the percentage would be a consolation at the very least.
If that was indeed a deliberate decision not to, I'd sure like to have been a fly on the wall in that meeting. Can't imagine the logic.
I couldn't agree more. So many of his videos I have to facepalm a few times.
Why he has mentioned that Apple leaks twitter account I have no clue
All he does is just tweet leaks that other people report
Regarding that twitter account, when they were just starting I literally said that they just make things up and don't have any sources at all and they agreed on that statement.
But apparently EAP will talk about every "leak", regardless if it's made up bs or will turn out real.
It’s mad as that twitter account has other leakers following him. It’s clear he’s just posting other people’s leaks. Then flip flops when other people’s reports change
How about you wait til it’s out? There should be good improvements and depends on your needs.
every year all you will see with all phones is improved cameras and features here and there that are improved over previous version.
Dude cut the crap. You know damn well you were going to upgrade regardless the same way you do yearly.
