The ISO dial on the top left could be completely removed (first picture). A new dial could be introduced behind the shutter button that can be controlled with the thumb (first picture). A new large 3.9″ screen could be introduced (the M11 has a 2.95″ screen):

The large screen also means removing all buttons from the back of the camera – it seems that the controls will now be on the touchscreen, similar to the Leica TL:

I am still getting conflicting reports on the viewfinder: we may get a new Leica M smart hybrid vision rangefinder (classic rangefinder experience + EVF benefits, similar to the Fuji X100 camera):


We may even get a 100% electronic viewfinder (EVF):


The Leica M12 trademark has already been registered (all Leica trademarks can be found here):
