Apple is expected to make some significant design changes to its next iPhone, and a new video may give us a better idea of exactly what that might entail.

A video published by the YouTube channel Everything Apple Pro claims to show the design of Apple's rumored iPhone 12 Pro Max. The video provides a walkthrough of a 3D-printed dummy of the next iPhone's housing that's based on a rendering obtained by Max Weinbach, a video host and writer for tech form and blog XDA Developers.

Weinbach has a notable track record when it comes to reporting on unreleased smartphones; in recent months he's posted accurate leaks detailing Samsung's Galaxy S20 Plus and foldable Galaxy Z Flip before they launched.

The purported iPhone 12 Pro Max schematics that Weinbach has obtained line up directly with what rumors and reports have suggested so far. They show an iPhone design with flat, metal edges reminiscent of the iPad Pro and older iPhone models like the iPhone 5. The video also claims that the purported iPhone 12 Pro Max will have a 6.7-inch screen.

Apple did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

The model looks almost exactly like what Bloomberg's Mark Gurman described in a report from last week, which said the successors to the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max would have stainless steel edges that lack the curved look of Apple's current smartphones. TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who is known for providing details about upcoming Apple gadgets, also wrote in September that the next-generation iPhone would have edges that resembled those of the iPhone 4, as MacRumors reported at the time.

The new leak also suggests that the iPhone 12 Pro Max will have a smaller notch cutout at the top and a bigger screen-to-body ratio, indicating that Apple may be further minimizing the thin bezel framing the iPhone's screen. That lines up with what Bloomberg has reported, as the publication also said the notch on this year's iPhone is expected to be smaller.

Other than a revamped design, Apple's next iPhone is expected to come in four variants: two models that would succeed the iPhone 11, and two that would serve as follow-ups to the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro. The pricier models are said to come with a triple-lens camera system and the new Lidar system that debuted on the iPad Pro, while the cheaper models will continue to have a dual-camera. They are all expected to support 5G and have OLED screens, which offer sharper contrast and deeper blacks than the LCD panels Apple currently uses for the iPhone 11 and iPhone XR.

It's unclear whether Apple's flagship iPhones will be delayed because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, which has disrupted Apple's supply chain and has forced the company's workforce to work remotely. Nikkei Asian Review reported that the iPhone 12 may be delayed because of concern that demand may be weak amid layoffs and furloughs stemming from the virus. Bloomberg reports that the phones may still launch within the fall time frame, but a few weeks late.
