    The 2020 iPhones to have a revamped design

    Apple is busy redesigning the next iPhones despite the global pandemic, but according to Bloomberg report that details much of Apple’s product roadmap for 2020, including the four new iPhones that have been widely rumored. Corroborating Ming-chi Kuo’s analysis from last year, Apple is said to be redesigning the iPhone Pro chassis with flat edges reminiscent of the current iPad Pro. Kuo claimed the screen glass would still be slightly curved, while Bloomberg says it’ll be flat.

    There is expected to be two iPhone Pro models with three cameras on the back and that they will feature the new iPad Pro’s LIDAR 3D-scanning system — what is not crystal clear is whether that will take the place of one of the iPhone 11 Pro’s existing three cameras, though. We also not sure if the boxy redesign will come to the two lower-end dual-camera models that are reportedly replacing the iPhone 11.The Face ID notch will ‘likely’ be reduced in size just like on last year’s the Huawei Mate 30 Pro.

    The report says that the largest iPhone Pro will have a “slightly larger” screen than the iPhone 11 Pro Max’s 6.5-inch panel, and that the Face ID notch will “likely” be reduced in size. Kuo predicted last year that the Pro models would come in screen sizes of 5.4 inches and 6.7 inches.

    Apart from the iPhones, Bloomberg also says to expect a smaller, cheaper HomePod speaker as early as this year, following up on its own reporting from August last year. This new model is now said to have a similar design to the existing HomePod, but come in at around half the size. Apple is reportedly planning a second-quarter release.

    Finally, Bloomberg also says to expect new versions of the MacBook Pro, Apple TV, iMac, and entry-model iPad, though doesn’t give any details on what the refreshes might include. A 14-inch MacBook Pro with scissor-switch keyboard has been predicted by Kuo.

    Apple doesn’t expect the coronavirus pandemic to cause major delays, according to Bloomberg, though certain iPhone models could end up launching weeks later than usual. Engineers are reportedly heading to China to finalize work on the lineup next month ahead of mass production.
