This year both the higher end and comparatively cheaper iPhones will come with the OLED display unlike the LCD in the previous iPhones. The Chinese company named BOE Display’s OLED Displays are currently tested by Apple. Some of the new iPhones are expected to use a technology made by Samsung called Y-OCTA, that allows touchscreen circuitry to be directly patterned on the OLED panel without the need for a separate layer which results in a thinner display and lower production costs, though it’s not clear if this translates to thinner body design.

Apple will use 5-nanometer chips in its latest versions of the iPhone. According to the rumors, TSMC will manufacture the 5-nanometer chipset. This new 5 nanometer chips are faster, smaller, and also more battery efficient because of the improved thermal management.
The A14 chipset has 15% better performance and a 30% reduction in power consumption in comparison to the A13 chip.

6.The Battery of the new iPhones
The new iPhones that are coming in 2020 will most probably have some small gains in its battery capacity as The Apple suppliers are working on a custom battery protection module that’s 50 percent smaller and thinner compared to the same component in previous iPhones which could free up valuable space in the iPhone.
The capacities of batteries that are expected to be used in the new iPhones are given below:
- 2227 mAh battery for 5.4 inches iPhone.
- 2775 mAh battery for 6.1 inches iPhone.
- 3687 mAh battery for 6.7 inches iPhone.
As the production cost of the new iPhones is already really high because the 5G support is so expensive that there are reports that Apple is planning to not to include the adapter in the box.

Apple may introduce a new USB-C to lightning cable with a more durable design.

8.The latest 5G connectivity
All the new iPhones launching in 2021 are expected to have the 5G technology in it. They will use Qualcomm’s X55 5G modern chip instead of Intel chips.
The X55 Chips provides 7 GB/s download speed and 3 GB/s uploading speed. These are mostly theoretical values of its peak performance and actual performance might vary.
9.No Earpods
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes that the iPhone 12 models most probably won’t include EarPods in the box to increase the demand for there AirPods which is being sold separately and also to decrease the cost of the new iPhone 12 models which is already really high because of the new technology of 5G connectivity.
Apple is expected to launch a new promotion campaign for there Airpods in late 2020 by offering discounts to the new iPhone buyers and boost there AirPods sales.

The LiDAR Scanner in the iPad Pro uses the reflected light to measure the distance from the sensor to surrounding objects that are up to five meters away, which is equivalent to 16.4 feet. It works both indoors and outdoors and can map the environment around you at the photon level at just a speed of nano-seconds.
12.The New TrueDepth Camera System
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that at the very least one of the new iPhones will have a smaller front camera lens for a better screen to bezel ratio but not all the iPhones will have this feature. (This claim is also supported by Bloomberg)
