A video on Friday purportedly offers the closest look yet at Apple’s “iPhone 12 Pro<\/a>” chassis ahead of an expected release this fall. <\/p>\n

\n

The short, five-second video posted<\/a> to Twitter by YouTube channel EverythingApplePro reveals what appears to be a next-generation iPhone chassis complete with iPhone 4-inspired design, cutouts for a triple-lens camera array, a rumored LiDAR Scanner aperture, repositioned SIM slot and more. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Referred to as the “official iPhone 12 Pro chassis,” the metal casing looks to be of production quality, with milled edges, a white glass backing and a selection of assembled innards. Inside, a covering for what appears to be a wireless charging pass-through is seen in a circular area cut out from component shielding.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A module holding the handset’s camera cover glass sports five large apertures \u2014 three for the main imagers, one for a flash, and another for the rumored LiDAR Scanner. Apple’s top-end “iPhone 12 Pro Max” is anticipated to boast a rear-facing LiDAR system borrowed from the fourth-generation iPad Pro<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The glass side of the supposed chassis offers a better view of the camera stack and a faint Apple logo layered by white paint. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While most design aspects shown off in the video have been discussed in previous reports and parts leaks, today’s video reveals a small rectangular window located on right side of the device, below the power button. The purpose of the strip is unclear, though at least one prior report notes its existence<\/a> in early CAD drawings. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Close in appearance to iPad Pro’s magnetic Apple Pencil charger, the window could be a design consideration for new accessories like a more compact wireless charging case<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Apple is widely expected to unveil “iPhone 12” this fall, though a release will come weeks later<\/a> than the usual September launch. An upcoming special event<\/a> scheduled for Sept. 15 is thought to bring word of new Apple Watch \u2014 and potentially iPad Air \u2014 models, suggesting iPhone’s debut will be pushed to October. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
