Apple will launch the largest iPhone ever in 2020

According to Korean news site ETNews, Apple’s 5.4-inch and 6.7-inch iPhone versions will debut next year, using an entirely new OLED screen technology from Samsung.

Two device versions, called the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, will use a new Samsung display technology called Y-OCTA that allows the induction circuit to be placed directly on the OLED panel. Therefore, eliminating a separate layer of screen, creating a thinner screen and reducing production costs.

While this new type of Y-OCTA displays will be available for the high-end 5.4-inch and 6.7-inch iPhone versions, the cheaper 6.1-inch iPhone version will still use the traditional OLED screen manufactured by Samsung and LG provides. Meanwhile, Chinese display maker BOE is no longer a supplier for iPhone 12.

With the launch of the 6.7-inch iPhone, this will be the largest iPhone ever. Its diagonal size is only an inch shorter than Apple’s iPad Mini, which measures 7.9 inches. This year’s iPhone 11 Pro Max currently has a 6.5-inch screen.

Contrary to the growing trend of the iPhone Max version, the iPhone Pro version is smaller with the arrival of a 5.4-inch iPhone screen next year. It will be even smaller than this year’s 5.8-inch iPhone 11 Pro.

2020 could be the year with many major changes for the iPhone, when there are rumors about two new screen sizes, a redesigned metal frame, with two flat sides, similar to the previous iPhone 4. here. There is also a 3D sensor on the rear camera assembly, supporting 5G and RAM increased to 6GB.

Many other reports also suggest that Apple will launch a new iPhone that supports both Face ID and Touch ID under the screen, but it is unclear whether such devices will launch in 2020 or 2021. The Touch ID sensor under the screen is more likely. The feature will allow users to authenticate by fingerprint anywhere on the screen.

Even besides the aforementioned versions of the iPhone, it is rumored that Apple will launch another low-cost version of the iPhone in early 2020 – the successor to the iPhone SE. This device is expected to help Apple cover all customer segments, even the low-cost segment that is absolutely dominated by Android devices.
