New video shows an iPhone 12 design with a big change from earlier leaks

[Chris Smith]

• The iPhone 12 release date has been delayed on account of the novel coronavirus, with Apple now expected to unveil the iPhone 12 series in mid-October.
• A short video leak shows us the purported design of the iPhone 12 Pro, including the significant design changes expected for this year’s iPhone generation.
• Much of the new design is in line with earlier rumors, but the rear camera layout is much different from the leaks we've seen for the past six months.

The novel coronavirus forced governments to impose lockdowns and travel restrictions in the early months of the pandemic, in an attempt to contain outbreaks. Some countries were more successful than others, but the restrictions impacted everything. The new iPhone generation wasn’t spared either, and Apple found itself forced to delay the manufacturing and launch of the iPhone 12 series.

Apple confirmed the delays a few months ago, signaling that its September quarter will not include any iPhone 12 sales. Since then, we saw a number of rumors that said Apple would launch a couple of new iPhones in late October, with the remaining two Pro models set to arrive later in November. Apple did schedule an online-only press event for September 15th, but it seems to be centered on the next-gen Apple Watch. Other Apple products are expected at the show, including the new iPad Air and 8th-gen iPad, but the not the iPhone 12. That’s what pundits say, but we won’t really know until next week. While we wait, we do have a brand new video leak that shows the purported design of the iPhone 12.
