If Apple repeats the new iPhone release pattern it appears to be repeating, next year’s new iPhones could end up being the iPhone 12 series as opposed to the iPhone 11s series. As Apple fans will undoubtedly recall, there is a precedent for Apple reusing the same iPhone design for three consecutive years, as it is doing now. The iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, and iPhone 7 smartphones were all practically identical, and the company then skipped the “7s” and went straight to the iPhone 8 in 2017. Now, the upcoming new iPhone 11 is shaping up to be almost identical to the iPhone X and the iPhone XR/XS series smartphones from the past two years.
As was the case back in 2016, the iPhone 11 will differentiate itself a bit with a new rear camera and new finishes, but the design is otherwise basically unchanged. That could pave the way for a new iPhone 12 next year, and the latest report on Apple’s upcoming 2020 iPhone models suggests that they might be a huge upgrade worth of an entirely new number instead of an “S.”
