Other Is the rumor for iPhone 12 the same design but new blue color?

Rumor has it the corners/edge will be squared out like the 5S/SE iPhone.
Casing will be different
More like iPad Pro design and iPhone 4. So it will be a new design for the sides

Most are guessing like this. LiDAR scanner added, smaller notch and different corners.
I had the 11 Pro Max but at 0.5 lbs, it was too bulky to carry around so I went back to just the 11 Pro. But if they're able to get the 6.7" 12 Pro Max to somehow be lighter than the 11 Pro Max I would seriously considering switching back.
I think I’m the only one who hates the square edged design. It’s so industrial looking! Horrible. Rounded sides are much nicer.
Still not a compelling upgrade imho.

I want it to be no notch for my next iPhone. I’d I’m gonna drop 1300 on another phone I want it to be different than my xs max.
I agree...I like the rounded edges better too.
The squared edges reminds me of the iPhone 4 to be honest

i would like to see them eliminate the notch and include Always On Display (AOD)
The design seems to be a step backward in my eyes, that’s my own opinion but it’s not the end of the world.
I love my 11 PM , so the only way I’m gonna upgrade is if they come out with no notch at all.
I’ll be waiting for the next generation 2021, that will be refined 120 Hz , longer life battery , 5G , notchless phone.

Nope. Frankly the x/xs max notch doesn’t bother me but when I spend 1.3k cash on a phone I want it to be a big difference than my current phone where it’s noticeable on a day to day use. A fingerprint print sensor would be one feature I want that solves certain use cases such as laying on the table and morningg time unlocking. The xs max has a great screen and my next phone has to be a big jump to justify spending money to upgrade it.
He’s not even been gone a year!
Apple hardware has always stayed the same for a number of generations before getting a refresh, this time is no different.
The 11 is more or less identical to the XS, which was more or less identical to the X, which was a refinement of the 6/6S/7, which was itself a 'step backward', being a return to the rounded style of the original iPhone/3G/3GS.
The iPhone X was not a refinement of the 6/6s/7/8, refinement by definition means improvement by small changes.
The X was a whole new design with big changes, the introduction of the full screen design and Face ID being the main two.
Personally, if I am going to spend between 2 and 3 years with an object using and holding it in my hand for hours everyday, I'd prefer to like its design.
I’m right along with you and the squarish sides. I hated them on the 4/5 series and was so ecstatic they went away starting with the 6 series. I’m hoping this year’s iPhone (if it’s released) do not go back to the square sides.
