Other 2020 OLED iPhones: 5.4" & 6.7" pixel density calculations.

Huh? The table in your first post shows that the 5.4 and 6.7 will get 5G, the 6.1 will not. This alone makes absolutely clear which will be the Pros and which the „regular“ 12.

Ming-Chi Kuo later stated that the 6.1 will also get 5G.

Thanks, didn‘t see that. OTOH, the original table still shows that the 6.1 was indeed planned as the „lower end“ model; I doubt that this changed other than the 6.1 also getting 5G.

What sort of form factor will the 5.4” get? If it’s like the iPhone 6, I am in.

Apple don’t tend to change a lot year to year on a phone and 5g is a big change next year. A design change, a few performance increases and a major change is usual.

If it doesn't loose any features compared to the bigger device, the 5.4'' phone would be perfect for me.

I have a different theory to yours regarding resolutions/pixel density.

The new 6.1” OLED (6.06”) takes the current 6.5” (6.46”) resolution:
6.06” @ 2688x1242 = ~489ppi (163dpi@3x, note that 326ppi is 163dpi@2x)

The new 5.4” OLED takes the current 5.8” (5.85”) resolution:
5.48” @ 2436x1125 = ~489ppi (same scaling as before)

The new 6.7” (6.67”) OLED takes a new resolution:
6.67” @ 489ppi = ~2964x1368

This brings them all to the same pixel density and back to the original scaling of 163dpi which the XR uses, so that no screen real estate is lost on the smaller 5.4” phone or on the new 6.1” compared to the XR. The new 6.7” merely falls in line for operational consistency and to maximise the benefit of the larger display.

This is where I think it would go as well. Not ideal getting different point resolutions compared to the previous devices, but I can’t see them going to different pixel densities across these new displays.

well that sucks because 5.8 inch is the perfect screen size going down to 5.4 inches for the regular pro would suck and 6.7 inch is way too big

I will definitely be there for the pre-order on the 6.7” iPhone In 2020. Until then, I will enjoy my new iPhone 11 Pro Max green

that’s NOT what she said.

I mean I have a XS in 2018 and I plan on going for the iPhone 11R which is 6.1" in 2019 and in 2020 to a 6.1" OLED screen this way I don't have to buy the 11 pro 5.8" to this year to then next year downgrade to a 5.4" screen in 2020

My thoughts exactly. I have the regular iPhone 11 because I don’t wanna have to choose between going down or up in size next year. Then again I have legitimate OCD.
