Unusual iPhone 12 Pro prototype: there are differences from the iPhone 12 Pro on store shelves

Apple prototype collector Giulio Zompetti shared photos of an unusual iPhone 12 Pro prototype.

The iPhone 12 Pro prototype shown has two differences from the final version of the iPhone 12 Pro that we see on store shelves.

First, you may notice that the icons on the screen look unusual. The fact is that the prototype runs on the factory SwitchBoard platform, not the standard iOS 14. In fact, this is iOS 14 “no interface”. Apple uses SwitchBoard for internal development and is not available to the general public.

Second, the prototype’s Pacific Blue color appears darker than the final version of the iPhone 12 Pro.

Giulio Zompetti has previously shown prototypes of the very first Apple Watch, as well as the third generation iPod Touch with a camera.
