2019 was a great year for Apple. Instead of entering new product categories, the tech giant focused on improving their software and feedback from their users to improve their AirPods, Apple Watch and iPhones.
2020 looks promising, with rumors already circulating around many media outlets speculating on what new features this year’s iPhone will bring. One of the main features that experts are expecting from Apple this year is 5G connectivity, which will make it competitive with its rivals’ new models.
One of the most talked about changes to the new model are bigger screen sizes that could go as large as 6.7 inches (as opposed to the iPhone 11 Pro Max’s 6.5-inch display). Experts also believe the new models will have a 120Hz refresh rate that will give users a feeling of smoother and faster scrolling through apps and web pages.
It’s possible that Apple will expand its iPhone line with four new iPhone 12 models: a 5.4-inch model, two 6.1-inch phones and a 6.7-inch phone. All of them will have OLED (or Organic LED) displays. There could also be an extra model resembling the iPhone SE, which is rumored to look like the iPhone 8 and could be released as early as the first quarter of 2020
Apple could also implement 3D depth sensing to their new model’s rear cameras, similar to the front-facing cameras from the newer models used for facial recognition, which would significantly improve its augmented reality applications.
