The 2019 iPhone models haven’t even been officially announced yet, and we’re already starting to see reports about what will be in the 2020 iPhones. We’ve compiled the most notable ones here, but take these with a big grain of salt. Even if these reports are accurate representations of what suppliers are saying, or come from moles within Apple itself, the company’s plans can and do change. There’s still plenty of time before the design and features have to be totally set in stone.
Update 09/25/19: Ming-Chi Kuo says a new design is on the way inspired by the iPhone 4.
iPhone 4-style redesign incoming?
We've still got a long way to go until the iPhone 12 makes its debut, but there's already a reason to be excited. Analyst Ming Chi-Kuo says that whole next year's iPhone will be getting a serious design overhaul. He's light on specifics, but he compares it to the iPhone 4, which just so happens to be one of the best iPhone designs of all time. Specifically, Kuo says "the front and rear 2/2.5D glass are still used, but the metal frame surface will be changed to a similar design to the iPhone 4, replacing the current surface design."
