An alleged leak of Apple’s upcoming iPhone 12 suggests the device will have flat-edges like the Pro and early iPhone models.
The new flagship iPhone, which has likely been delayed to the end of this year due to , features squared-off edges, according to images posted on Twitter.

These are typically produced by third-party.
iPhone 12 would be the first flagship iPhone model to feature squared-off edges since the iPhone 5s, which was released in 2013.
The fourth-generation iPad Pro, released this March, also had squared-off edges.
Apple’s iPhone 12 is rumoured to come in three different sizes – one at 5.4 inches, two at 6.1 inches and another model at 6.7 inches

Instead of a glass front that is curved around the edges of the display - a feature intended to allow the iPhone to sit comfortably in the palm of the hand - iPhone 12′s distinct edges could provide more protection from drops.
When dropped on their edges, phones with a curved edge tend to suffer more damage than those with a more angular design, according to some critics.
According to an earlier report from , citing ‘people familiar with the plans,’ Apple is set to release four new iPhone 12 models later this year.
These include the standard 5.4 inch iPhone 12 model, the 6.1 inch iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Max, and lastly, the 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max.

While @Jin_Store did not confirm the renders were definitely of the iPhone 12, nor where they came from, they do back up previous rumours of the device’s shape
Critics of the curved edge claim it makes the iPhone less resistant to damage – a device that falls on its curved edge is more likely to take out the glass screen
And this appears to be corroborated by @Jin_Store, who holds up three different sized metal moulds in one of his images.
All of the moulds have four holes in their front-facing notches at the top of where the glass display would be, while the 3D graphics indicate three rear cameras arranged in a similar fashion to those on the iPhone 11.
