Apple is expected to announce four iPhone
12 models this year. The entry-level version will reportedly sport a 5.4-inch
display. It looks like this particular model would be more compact than the
recently released iPhone SE.
The 2020 iPhone SE has a 4.7-inches
display and costs US$ 399. Although the budget model has the same chip as last
year's iPhone 11 which carries a price tag of US$ 699, it has a single rear
camera, a physical home button instead of Face ID, and lower water resistance
than flagship models. For those whole like the iPhone SE's size but do not want
to settle for its scaled back specs, Apple might have a surprise in store.
YouTuber @EveryApplePro has posted a video
clip with the iPhone SE and a CAD-based render of the 5.4-inch iPhone side by
side and according to it, the iPhone 12 would actually be more compact than the
2020 iPhone SE.
So, how would that be possible if the
iPhone 12 is tipped to come with a 5.4-inch screen, while the iPhone SE has a
4.7-inch display? Well, as mentioned before, the iPhone SE has a home button,
which takes up a considerable amount of space and it also has a chunky top
bezel and not a notch. The iPhone 12, on the other hand, will likely have razer
thin bezels and a smaller notch than the iPhone 11.
All iPhone 12 models will apparently
feature OLED displays and the new A14 Bionic chip, and 5G connectivity would be
standard. Starting price will likely be between US$ 649 and US$ 749. The iPhone SE is
supposedly doing well already and given that there is a dearth of premium
compact phones in the market, the 5.4-inch iPhone could prove to be a smash
hit.
