Apple will reportedly be eliminating the charging port entirely on the 2021 iPhone, shifting to a Smart Connector similar to that seen on recent iPad models to allow for power and data transfer with accessories like keyboard cases. A separate rumor from @choco_bit indicates that the 2021 iPhone could include four camera lenses in the 40- to 64-megapixel range<https://macrumors.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7d0106b433773bd0aef5828e0&id=4f47c9d2a1&e=821bb7bf59>, in addition to a LiDAR sensor for augmented reality purposes.

It remains to be seen whether these are ready for launch in the near future, perhaps at WWDC next month or in September alongside the Apple Watch Series 6. Alternatively, these could be protoypes that were ultimately scrapped, or even knockoffs meant to mimic Apple's band style.
