INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
The entire body — front, back, edges — is made of glass, reinforced with carbon fiber to
enhance durability.
The Lightning port is gone, replaced with wireless charging tech and a magnetic Smart Connector for accessories.
And no home button means the display
extends out to the edges, boosting screen
size significantly.

CHIP + SYSTEM
A smaller logic board and no Lightning port means a larger battery and better Taptic engine, letting the volume buttons become
non-mechanical.
The bottom speaker gets bigger, too.
DUAL CAMERAS
The dual-camera system of today's Plus models will continue to improve, but it will spread to the "regular-size" iPhone, too, with lenses positioned vertically on both. Sadly, the symmetry-ruining bump remains.
iOS 14
The visual language of iOS will remain mostly the same, though with no physical home button, it will need to have a virtual one. Improvements in AI and machine learning means Siri takes
on a greater role.
ACCESSORIES
Apple's on course for a wireless future, which means AirPods need to come in the box with a portless iPhone. A wireless charger is still sold separately, though.
