Apple's refreshed iPhone lineup will add 5G to as many as four new models at least two of which will have flat stainless steel edges, similar in design to its latest iPads, reports Bloomberg this morning.
This year’s successors to the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max will be joined by two lower-end models to replace the iPhone 11. At least the two high-end devices will have flat stainless steel edges instead of the current curved design as well as more sharply rounded corners like the iPad Pro introduced in 2018. Reminiscent of the iPhone 5 design, the new handsets will have flat screens rather than the sloping edges on current models, said the people asking not to be identified because the plans aren’t public.The report adds further weight to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo's expectation that the 2020 iPhones will include a square-edged stainless steel frame.
Apple is also developing a smaller, less expensive version of its HomePod smart speaker for release as early as this year, and so-called Apple Tags that will let users track real-life objects, reports Bloomberg.
Apple is additionally working on a new version of the MacBook Pro, Apple TV, refreshed budget iPads and a new iMac, people familiar with its product roadmap told the media outlet.
