It’s a little early to talk about the next iPhone given
Apple revealed
its latest
iPhone 12
series not very long ago.
But the iPhone 13 rumors and leaks have left us intrigued. So, we want to share all the information on the iPhone 13 which includes answering some top questions such as when is the iPhone 13 coming out, what does the iPhone 13 look like, what will be iPhone 13 camera upgrades, and more.
Without any further ado, let’s see what Apple has to offer based on the most recent iPhone 12 leaks and rumors.
iPhone 13 release date
Traditionally, Apple keeps the iPhone launch event in the month of September. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, a prominent Apple analyst, the iPhone 13 will follow the same time-frame.
Due to the COVID-19, Apple faced production delays. As a result, the iPhone 12/12 Pro and iPhone 12 Mini/ 12 Pro Max launch dates were shifted to October and November respectively.
When will the iphone 13 come out?
However,
Kuo claims
that iPhone 13 won’t face any production delays and will get back to the standard time frame. In other words, you can expect the iPhone 13 launch by the end of September 2021.
iPhone 13 features
Design
What does the iPhone 13 look like? iPhone 13S?
According to
Mark Gurman’s Bloomberg report
, the iPhone 13 lineup won’t have any major upgrades in the design area since there were many in 2020 iPhones. He says Apple engineers consider the iPhone 13 as an “S” upgrade: A nomenclature popular with older-gen iPhone models that always had only minor changes compared to the previous model.
However, the Japanese site
Mac Otakara claims
that the newer iPhone 13 would be slightly thicker than iPhone 12; 0.26mm to be precise.
Smaller Notch
Mac Otakara has also said that the iPhone 13 will feature a thinner notch. Popular leakster Ice Universe has also confirmed this in a tweet.
DigiTimes’s recent
report
explains, “
new design integrates Rx, Tx and flood illuminator into the same camera module
…
to enable smaller notch sizes.
“
No Lightning Port?
There have been rumors of Apple discarding the Lightning port starting with the iPhone 13. Gurman says people at Apple have discussed about removing the port in favor of wireless charging. Even Ming-Chi Kuo said, back in 2019, that Apple would offer a ‘completely wireless’ iPhone without a lightning connector in 2021.
For those who don’t know, Apple introduced MagSafe wireless charging in iPhone 12 and removed the charging brick from the box.
If Apple is serious about removing the port, we think Apple will have to significantly improve the charging speed of MagSafe wireless charger. Also, it would have to add the MagSafe charger in the box.
Camera upgrades
iPhone 13 leaks and rumors strongly indicate that Apple will copy paste iPhone 12 Pro Max camera upgrades to the entire iPhone 13 lineup. In other words, all 2021 iPhones will have 12 Pro Max’s new camera sensor, sensor-shift stabilization, and the LiDAR Scanner.
To put it in perspective, all iPhone 13 models (except iPhone 13 Pro Max) are due for a major camera upgrade.
Also, DigiTimes reports that iPhone 13 will have an improved Ultra-Wide camera lens. Kuo has also backed up up this claim. Also, the Pro models will use a larger CMOS Image Sensor for the primary camera that will improve the image resolution.
iPhone 13 Specifications
In-display Touch ID
One of the biggest features of the iPhone 13 could be the addition of an in-display fingerprint sensor. There have been multiple iPhone 13 rumors to back this up.
A WSJ report claims that iPhone 13 will use an optical in-display sensor, however, Ming-Chi Kuo has said that the next-gen iPhone will feature an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader. Gurman has also said in-display fingerprint sensor will be one of the key upgrades in 2021 iPhones.
The iPhone 13 leaks also say that there are no plans to remove the FaceID. According to Gurman, the FaceID is still useful for camera features and AR.
120Hz display
Higher refresh rate will become a reality on iPhone 13, thanks to the LTPO OLED display which would be supplied by Samsung.
Early rumors suggested that iPhone 12 Pro models will come with 120Hz tech, but as we know that didn’t happen. Now, the 120Hz Pro Display rumors have come back again this time for the iPhone 13.
Apart from this, the iPhone 13 will certainly feature the standard chip upgrade, from A14 to A15. There also rumors that the next iPhone lineup will support Wi-Fi 6E. One leak suggests that 2021 iPhones will feature up to 1TB of internal storage.
iPhone 13 price and lineup
Ming-Chi Kuo has confirmed that the iPhone 13 lineup will remain the same as the iPhone 12 series. In other words, you can expect the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 mini, and iPhone 13 Pro Max.
There are no rumors about the iPhone 13 price. However, people who closely follow Apple, suggest that the iPhone 13 pricing will be similar to that of the iPhone 12.
-
iPhone 13 Mini Price — $699
-
iPhone 13 Price — $799
-
iPhone 13 Pro Price — $999
-
iPhone 13 Pro Max Price — $1,099
Note that this is just a prediction and not actual iPhone 13 prices.
So, these were all the iPhone 13 leaks and rumors. We will keep updating this article as more information of iPhone 13 comes up. Until then, let us know what would you like to see in the 2021 iPhones.
