The 5G variant of the Apple iPhone 12 is likely to be launched with an advanced image sensor-shift stabilisation technology to click stable images without distortion when there is excessive motion.

Currently, the feature is available in iPhone 11 Pro models. But it is only functioning when using the wide-angle or telephoto lenses. But the use of sensor-shift technology will change this, as the stabilisation would apply to the camera sensor itself and not be dependent on any specific lens.

Recently, J.P. Morgan analyst Samik Chatterjee claimed that Apple will release a 5.4-inch iPhone, two 6.1-inch iPhones and one 6.7-inch iPhone with 5G connectivity in 2020. He predicted that the company is likely to introduce two high-end models (one 6.1-inch and one 6.7-inch) with support for mmWave, as well as a triple-lens camera and “world facing” 3D sensing for improved Augmented Reality capabilities.

While, two low-end models (6.1-inch, 5.4-inch) will not have mmWave or World facing 3D sensing, and will have a dual-lens camera.
