Leaker Jon Prosser has released the latest image of the iPhone 20, which is rumored to be released in 2027, on his YouTube channel “fpt.”
This image uses a full screen and dual-lens main camera, and the main camera bump is positioned lower than it is currently. If this design is released, the position of the main camera bump may be changed on the iPhone 20 and iPhone Air 2.
iPhone 20 has two eyes and full screen?
In the latest image of the iPhone 20 released by Mr. Prosser, the main camera bump equipped with a dual-lens camera is placed closer to the center of the device, lower than the iPhone Air.
Using the iPhone 17 Pro series as an example, it would be like having two cameras lined up side by side at almost the same height as the telephoto camera placed in the middle.
Prosser said that the iPhone 20 is likely to have a full-screen display without a notch.
The challenge in achieving a full screen is the placement of the Face ID mechanism and front camera inside the device, and the main camera module on the back.
If these parts are concentrated at the top of the main unit, they will compete for internal mounting space.
Will it utilize the design philosophy of iPhone Air?
It is rumored that the iPhone 20 will be a model that develops the design philosophy of the iPhone Air.
It is expected to be designed with a focus on thinness, with a titanium alloy frame and glass on the front and back that extends all the way to the sides.
Therefore, the dual-lens main camera installed in the iPhone 20 may have a similar structure to the dual-lens camera adopted in the future iPhone Air series.
Avoid component interference by changing camera position?
If you want to create a dual-lens device with a horizontally long camera bump placed on the top of the device like the iPhone Air, you will need to secure space to arrange the camera modules horizontally.
Furthermore, if the Face ID related parts and front camera are placed below the screen as the screen becomes full screen, the internal space at the top of the main unit will become more important than ever.
Disassembly of iPhone Air – Wide-angle camera on the left side, space for Face ID and front camera in the center
As shown in Mr. Prosser’s image, moving the main camera bump closer to the center of the main body will make it easier to avoid interference with the front camera and Face ID related parts.
With this arrangement, it seems possible to make the camera module two-lensed without significantly downsizing it.
Google Pixel style design?
However, if a design is adopted in which the main camera bump is placed closer to the center of the main body and stretched laterally, the back will likely be reminiscent of the Google Pixel Pro series.
In this image, the configuration in which the two-lens camera is placed inside the horizontal camera bump gives an impression similar to the camera bar of the Google Pixel series.
At this point, this is an image created based on information obtained by Mr. Prosser, and it is unknown whether the final design of the product released in 2027 will be this way.
