Apple has finally officially announced its September event. The Silicon Valley-based company is all set to release a slew of products which includes the much anticipated iPhone 13. There have been hordes of rumors and speculations circulating the web, we have gone through each piece of information for you and compiled it in the following article.
Here is all everything we know so far about the iPhone 13.
Design
The iPhone 12 series introduced significant design modifications to the iPhone, owing to the blockier form that was inspired by the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5. As a result, we don’t expect many changes to the iPhone 13’s overall design and appearance, but there may be a few modifications. It is worth mentioning that for non-Pro iPhone models, the leaked renders show a redesigned diagonal camera configuration, as well as a slightly thicker body to allow a larger battery. They also appear to show a gadget with a narrower notch.
Apple is expected to switch to a port-free iPhone at some time in the future, according to rumors. Apple’s choice to add MagSafe charging to the iPhone, according to many analysts, is the first step toward that transition. However, with the iPhone 13, this is unlikely to happen. While there have been reports that at least one model will be devoid of ports.
Touch ID was believed to be returning with the iPhone 13. Face recognition is cool, but it doesn’t always make sense — like when you’re wearing a mask — as the epidemic has demonstrated. Bloomberg previously reported that Apple was considering an In-Display fingerprint sensor, but then noted that it was unlikely the company would deploy one this year.
Finally, the iPhone 13 could arrive in a variety of hues. The iPhone 13 series could be available in a matte black that is darker than the Graphite hue found on the iPhone 12 Pro right now. According to other recent speculations, at least some iPhone 13 models will be available in a new Rose Pink color.
Display
High-refresh-rate iPhone rumors have been swirling for years, and many experts believed it might appear on the iPhone 12 at one point. However, speculations surfaced in 2020 that Apple had abandoned 120Hz panels for the iPhone 12 due to battery drain difficulties.
This time, we might get the much-needed improvement. Apple was granted a patent for iPhone displays with an automated changeable refresh rate in February 2021, according to sources. Apple will include LTPO technology on the iPhone 13 models for the time being. Various trustworthy sources have confirmed the rumors of a faster refresh rate and LTPO display, as well as the fact that it would be an always-on display, similar to what we’ve seen on some Android phones. Additionally, it may even have a live video in Portrait mode and an always-on display.
Specs
According to an investor report obtained by MacRumors, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro Max will be available with 1TB of storage. Furthermore, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini would have storage capacities of 128GB, 256GB, and 516GB. This means that no devices with 64GB of storage will be available.
Other assumptions about the iPhone 13’s specifications can be made. The iPhone 13 will most likely employ a new Apple A15 chip, which is slated to be manufactured in a 5nm process. There are even rumors that Apple is finally addressing the battery issue and working on upgrading it but we are not quite sure about that. Overall, the device will be able to carry out iOS sharing with ease.
Camera
Reportedly, all four iPhone 13 models will include an ultrawide camera with an f/1.8 aperture. The iPhone 13 will, on the other hand, place a greater emphasis on astrophotography. The device’s onboard sensors will get 15% more light, allowing it to distinguish stars and switch to Night Mode.
Apple is also rumored to be adding ProRes support to its video capture arsenal, a format that allows for more powerful tweaks to captured video. It’s essentially a video version of the ProRaw, which was introduced to iPhones last year and has long been a standard for creatives on non-mobile platforms. Moreover, Apple may include a lidar sensor in all four iPhone 13 models, which would help with low-light autofocus and could play a role in future augmented reality (AR) technology.
How many iPhone 13 variants can we expect?
Apple is expected to duplicate the iPhone 12’s lineup with the iPhone 13. This implies that an iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max, as well as an iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini, will be released. However, it is worth mention that this may be the last time a miniature version is released.
Release Date and Expected Price
Although the iPhone 12 was released in October, Apple has a tradition of releasing new models in September, and Apple has confirmed that the iPhone will be released at a “California Streaming” event at Apple Park on Tuesday, September 14 at 10 a.m. PT. Pre-orders are to be followed almost right after the event.
The phones are expected to be priced similarly to the iPhone 12 series, though some sources claim that Apple may raise the price of the iPhone 13 instead to offset a recent increase in component costs from its chip supplier.
