A new set of images of the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 model has surfaced online. Over the past months, many industry insiders and analysts believe that the smallest model for this year’s flagship iPhone is the 5.4-inch one. With the anticipated launch of the iPhone 12 series drawing near, it appears that more live or actual images of the upcoming models are slowly popping up online.

5.4-inch iPhone 12 Live Images

The latest set of the alleged live images of the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 comes from the Chinese social site Weibo. The images revealed the display panel of the upcoming flagship model and appeared on Slashleaks before they were taken down. At first glance, the alleged live images seem to depict several packed rows of smartphone displays from an assembly line.

The panels also looked like they have the same notch size as the current-generation iPhone 11. However, there is a notable improvement in the screen to bezel ratio in the live images, which could be the pre-assembly appearance of the iPhone 12 model. Despite the use of the hand in the alleged live images, it is still difficult to identify, which iPhone 12 model the panels belong to.

Fortunately, Weibo blogger Digital Chat Station said that the alleged live images belong to the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 model. Based on the blogger’s claim, it appears that the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 model features a smaller notch compared to the 5.8-inch iPhone 11, said Macrumors. Meanwhile, 9to5Mac claimed that the images were edited to remove reflections and traces that could reveal the identity of the person who took the photo or in the photo.

Other Details From The Alleged 5.4-inch iPhone 12 Images

According to Tom’s Guide, the images of the alleged 5.4-inch iPhone 12 show that the Face ID notch are still in the same place as the current generation iPhone series. The size of the notch is the same as the size of the notch found on the iPhone 11 line-up, Digital Chat Station added. While this might not be a big deal to some, others are concern about that the size of the notch occupies the bigger part of the display.

It is worth mentioning that these alleged live images of the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 model are not official. In this case, it is better to take this with a pinch of salt.
