According to the alleged leaked images of iPhone 12, the device is expected to bring back the old flat metal-edge design of the iPhone 5. The same design language is also expected to be seen on the iPad Pro 2020. Moreover, there could be a 5.4-inch iPhone 12, which could be even smaller than the 4.7-inch iPhone 7, despite having a larger display.

Further, an image by Twitter leaker Komiya showed what could be the final design of the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max. It includes a minimized notch on the front and a LiDAR sensor at the back housed alongside the triple rear camera setup. The two iPhone 12 models could be made out of aluminum while the iPhone 12 Pro variants are said to sport a stainless steel design.
