The iPhone 12 is expected to be a major upgrade that will bring new features like 5G compatibility, OLED screens across all models, and a new design.
Some of these features, however, have already been available on competing Android devices for a while.
Here's a look at some of the features we're expecting to see on the next iPhone, from screens with higher refresh rates to an in-screen fingerprint sensor, that are already available on Android.
The iPhone 12 is expected to represent one of the biggest overhauls to Apple's smartphone in years.
Reports suggest that the next-generation iPhone, which Apple is expected to reveal in September, will come with a number of significant updates, including the addition of 5G support, a refreshed design, and a new size option. The launch could represent a "once in a decade" opportunity for Apple, according to Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, who predicts that 350 million iPhone owners worldwide could be in the window of an upgrade.
While many of the iPhone 12's rumored upgrades will be new to Apple's smartphone ecosystem, some of them are already available on competing Android devices.
