The iPhone 12 and its retail packaging may have been revealed in a new leaked video, but we're not entirely convinced.

The video, captured from Chinese video-sharing site BiliBili, was shared by Sparrows News (via GSMArena), a little-known Indian outlet in the Apple leak world.

The video linked below is a short clip of someone turning an iPhone in their hand, showing all sides except the bottom edge. The display is on and the iPhone is still in the initial setup stage.

Earlier rumors said that the most obvious change in the iPhone 12 from the iPhone 11 would be flat sides, and this video shows that. The other major physical difference is the new size, offering four models of the iPhone measuring either 5.4 inches, 6.1 inches or 6.7 inches across. While it is difficult to ascertain the exact size of this handset, we speculate that it is either the 6.1-inch or 6.7-inch model.

The notch is rumored to be smaller, meaning it will have a bit more display space while still enjoying the convenient security of Face ID. It may be a more subtle change than we had hoped, but there doesn't seem to be any indication of it here.

In the background, we can see a box that looks identical to the iPhone 11 Pro packaging; Apple usually makes some changes to the phone's packaging between generations, but this old packaging is more a way to disguise the phone in transit than definitive proof that this leak is a fake. can be seen as a way to "disguise" the phone during transport.

It is when looking at the rear camera arrangement that the idea that this is the real iPhone 12 is destroyed. If this is meant to be a standard iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Max, we would expect two sensors, but this has three. But if this is the iPhone 12 Pro or iPhone 12 Pro Max, then we would expect to see the three cameras and LiDAR depth sensor that the iPhone 11 Pro has, for a total of four sensors. However, this video does not show that either.

It is hard to dismiss this as a dummy, since the device seems to be operating like a regular iPhone. However, what this video shows is inconsistent with the leaked information we have heard from several reliable sources, and we are more inclined to believe the leaked information than this video.

Whatever the truth is, we will find out at Apple's iPhone 12 release event in a month or two. Here Apple should confirm four new models with OLED displays, A14 chipsets, and 5G connectivity options.
