iPhone 13: Release Date, Specs, Price, and News
Apple’s iPhone 12 may have just been released last October, but rumors have already started circulating about the next iPhone. In this article, we’ll discuss everything we know so far about the iPhone 13, from its release date, specs, to price and the latest news.
Release Date
As of writing, Apple has not officially announced the release date for the iPhone 13. However, based on the company’s previous release patterns, we can expect the iPhone 13 to launch in September 2021.
Specs
One of the most significant improvements on the iPhone 13 is said to be the adoption of a 120Hz ProMotion display, which would result in more fluid scrolling and smoother animations. Apple has used this technology for the iPad Pro line, and it will likely come to the iPhone 13.
Additionally, it’s reported that Apple will upgrade the camera system with a bigger main lens and an improved ultrawide lens. As for battery life, reports suggest that the iPhone 13 may come equipped with a larger battery to support these new features and last longer.
As for the processor, Apple’s expected to use a new A15 chip, which will provide even faster performance compared to the A14 in the iPhone 12 series.
Another rumor is that Apple may introduce a “periscope” lens for better zoom capabilities. This means that the new camera could either have a zoom lens that’s arranged perpendicular to the sensor or it could enhance the existing ultrawide lens to zoom into objects.
Price
As of writing, there have been no confirmed reports of the iPhone 13’s price. However, based on previous patterns, we can expect the pricing to be similar to the iPhone 12 series. That means we could see four devices: a 5.4-inch iPhone 13 Mini, a 6.1-inch iPhone 13, a 6.1-inch iPhone 13 Pro, and a 6.7-inch iPhone 13 Pro Max.
One report has suggested that the starting price of the iPhone 13 lineup could be the same as the iPhone 12 series at $699 for the Mini, $799 for the base model, $999 for the Pro, and $1,099 for the Pro Max.
News
Most of the news about the iPhone 13 so far has been based on rumors and speculation. However, one recent report by the supply chain analysts at TrendForce suggests that Apple is currently working with several new suppliers for the iPhone 13’s camera modules. These suppliers, which include LG InnoTek, Semco, and Sunny Optical, are expected to play a significant role in improving the quality of the iPhone 13’s camera system.
Conclusion
The iPhone 13 is still several months away, but the rumors and reports are starting to pile up. Based on what we know so far, the iPhone 13 looks to be a more powerful, feature-packed device with a better camera system and ProMotion display. As always, we’ll have to wait for Apple’s official announcement to confirm all the details.
