Today, Bloomberg reported that Apple is ready to learn from iPad Pro 2020 and will redesign its 2020 high-end iPhone. Informed sources say there will be four models of the iPhone 12 and they all will support 5G.
According to the person familiar with the matter, at least two high-end devices will use a flatter stainless steel frame design instead of the existing curved design. Also, they will use a flat-screen instead of the existing slanted edge screen. It is more like the iPhone 5.
