Apple’s iPhone 12 is packing big changes on the inside, but now we have our best look yet at the external design as well. 

Apple's iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max has been rendered in stunning detail

In the most comprehensive I’ve seen, popular YouTuber ConceptsiPhone and designer Mauro Battino have put together everything we know about the iPhone 12 Pro and combined it into a single, stunningly detailed video. The YouTuber labels it as the “100% Final Design” and there’s a lot to like.

Perhaps most eye-catching is the combination of both a smaller notch and the sharper, iPhone 4-inspired angles. The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max displays will also be getting larger this year while the iPhone 12 entry-level model actually gets smaller. 

On the back, you can also see the move to a quad-camera layout but the additional module will be a LiDAR sensor which we already know is capable of stunning real-time 3D environmental mapping. Sticking with the back, there’s also a preview of the new Navy Blue color option which will replace Midnight Green. To my eyes, it looks great but it’s a risk considering Midnight Green was very popular.  

Battino also draws attention to the Apple A14 chip, with good reason considering it is potentially the company’s biggest performance upgrade in years, and the transition to 5G (which will be available across the range). The only concerns are the well-leaked 120Hz ProMotion display which is now in doubt and the dream of a USB-C iPhone looks dead in the water - though that isn’t touched upon in the video. 

In fact, the video’s one surprising omission is the price. Unlike every rival to date, Apple will integrate 5G into the iPhone Pro line-up without increasing the asking price and actually cutting the entry-level price. That, perhaps more than any other iPhone 12 upgrade, is what rivals will fear most this year. 

Just so long as Apple’s alleged Siri practices don’t scare everyone off.
