This Mockup Of Apple's $649 5.4-Inch iPhone 12 Signals Return Of Pint-Sized Flagships
However, Apple’s upcoming iPhone 12 is going to be an even louder shout-out to those that lament the increasing dimensions of today’s flagship smartphones. We already knew that the cheapest iPhone 12 model would receive a 5.4-inch display, but the folks at EverythingApplePro have posted a short clip with a physical mockup of the smartphone compared to the iPhone SE.

The comparison shows that the new iPhone 12 is both narrower and shorter than the iPhone SE, which is already a rather compact smartphone compared to today’s behemoths. What makes the comparison even more telling is that the iPhone 12 manages to squeeze in an extra 0.7-inches in diagonal display size thanks to its much thinner bezels.
The iPhone 12 also has the advantage of bringing much fresher technology to the table like Face ID (instead of space-robbing Touch ID), an OLED display (versus LCD), [hopefully] larger battery, improved cameras, A14 Bionic SoC (with performance and power savings), and 5G connectivity.
According to previous reports, the iPhone 12 might start at a relatively low $649, which would make it $50 cheaper than the current iPhone 11. The iPhone 12 might not have the expected triple cameras, LiDAR sensor, and 120Hz display that is rumored for the iPhone 12 Pro family, but we have the feeling that the smaller size and $350 cost savings might make it the best-selling model of the bunch.
