Apple analysts Ming-Chi Kuo has recently reported that 2020 iPhone lineup will feature a redesigned chassis that is a big departure from the current device pattern like from iPhone X. Apple follows same design pattern for around three years, we have seen these trend from iPhone 6 to iPhone 7, then from iPhone X to iPhone 11. These devices have an overall same design approach.
According to the new leaks, the upcoming iPhone 2020 it seems that this device might be going to inherit the features of its ancestors that is iPhone 4 that was known for its rugged use. iPhone 2020 will feature same boxier design as now is seen in the current-gen. iPhone Pro 2018.
Ming-Chi Kuo already pointed about the major redesign of iPhone 2020, with Apple new display technology which hides the notch and all the FaceID sensor will hide inside the bezel of iPhone. This major redesign is required by Apple, as Apple’s notch looks really stagnant as other smartphones in the industry have been adopted other solution like Dew Drop Notch or Pop up camera. But Pop up camera has a mechanical part which may result in wear out for long usages.
In June, Kuo reported that new 2020 iPhones will feature 5.4-inch, 6.1-inch, and 6.7-in display. 2020 iPhone will adopt OLED in all models as at this time only current-gen. iPhone 11 uses OLED display. Apple already making a good level OLED display by the inclusion of new Super Retina XDR display which features up to 200,000:1 contrast ratio and Display brightness up to 1,200 nits which is really insane for smartphone display. Even though high refresh rates display still not able to make its way in XDR display which is a must-have feature for a Pro iPhone.
Apple iPhone 4 continues to be a beloved design as iPhone 4 design further adopted by iPhone 5 but with metal casing. So it is interesting to see how Apple will implement its tincture of an iPhone with squared-off edges.
Kuo appears to believe that the display glass of the iPhone will be slightly curved, with references to 2/2.5D glass in the report. Current iPhone display bends the metal and glass casing like a single design pattern to it will be amazing to see how Apple will implement sandwich casing rather than curved glass.
Apple already made the iPhone 11 Pro a much distinct smartphone from their other smartphone lineup as Camera performance on iPhone 11 Pro is much more stunning as compared with the previous generation of iPhone and other smartphones in the industry. 2020 iPhone will maintain these things by making much more leap toward the future.
