Apple’s leaked iPhone 12 design is stunning, and this is our best look yet

[Zach Epstein]

• Apple's overhauled iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro designs leaked even before the iPhone 11 was announced last year, thanks to information from the most reliable Apple leaker in the business.
• While most of what he reported about the iPhone 12 series in those early months is still believed to be true, there are some plans that have seemingly changed since then.
• We now have what is believed to be a clear picture of Apple's final iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro designs, and renders that have appeared in a new video on YouTube likely give us our best look yet.

It's still unclear what kind of supply shortages Apple will be facing, but it looks increasingly likely that the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro series phones are on track to be released on schedule this coming September. Things could certainly change, especially if the Trump administration gets its way and rushes things in an effort to reopen nonessential businesses and ease shelter in place orders. If that happens in May, there's pretty much no question that we're in store for a massive second wave of novel coronavirus infections. Even if states try to defy orders to reopen businesses, enough people will follow Trump's lead and ease social distancing practices that a second wave will be ensured. Remember, the novel coronavirus lingers in the air and stays alive on surfaces much longer than we initially thought, and it can even travel at least four or five times farther through the air than the public was initially told.

If there is a big second wave of COVID-19 infections, we could certainly see Apple change its plans and delay the iPhone 12 launch. If efforts to reopen are pushed back a bit, however, we could see things start to return to normal by the late summer. Apple still almost certainly won't host its customary in-person September press conference either way and will instead opt for a virtual event to unveil the iPhone 12 series like what the company's doing for WWDC 2020. And when Apple finally does unveil its new iPhone 12 models later this year, we're pretty sure they've going to look almost exactly like what you're about to see in the YouTube video below.
