There have been comflicting reports as to whether any of the 2020 iPhones wil have a different notch to previous models, however. The notch has remained the same size throughout its life – ever since its introduction as part of the iPhone X's shift away from the Home button in 2017.
Apple is expected to announce four new iPhones in September of October, with two iPhone 12 and two iPhone 12 Pro models in the offing. The exact launch window is still fluid given the impact the COVID-19 pandemicn has had on Apple's design and prototyping schedule.
