IPHONE XIII (2021): How it has to be | In technology the rumours and leaks is a non-stop and this obviously affects the iPhone XIII, of which possible data is already beginning to accumulate. That's why we've picked up everything we think we know about Apple's new device coming next year and we'll update this information as news comes up, okay?
Unlike other occasions when we book it for the end, we start with its price. If the iPhone XII has split the 809 euros for the most basic model of the four, it is thought that the starting price of the iPhone XIII will hover this year, seeing that it was the same as that of the iPhone XI, but it is still early to see rumours about this aspect.
According to screen analyst and DSCC founder Ross Young, iPhone XIII will repeat the scheme we saw with iPhone XII. That is, there will be a direct successor to the iPhone XII mini, iPhone XII, iPhone XII Pro and iPhone XII Pro Max. That is: iPhone XIII mini: with 5.4 inch screen; iPhone XIII: with 6.1 inch screen; iPhone XIII Pro: with 6.1 inch screen; iPhone XIII Pro Max: with 6.7 inch screen.
Ross also literally talks about iPhone XIII and no "iPhone XII S", as we saw up to the iPhone 6S and iPhone XS (albeit in front of an iPhone XR. Although there is no shortage of voices pointing to that return to the "S" because it is a minor renewal and/or for evading the use of the 13 (which is traditionally associated with bad luck). One wonders what the design of the iPhone XIII is going to look like? for now there are many render and the ones we see are of dubious origins, although they coincide in some respects: The angled profile of iPhone XII is preserved; The camera module is square and the lenses of the same size, even the LiDAR; Either they don't include the notch or they represent it smaller.
We'll have to wait for more clues and the usual ones (like Ben Geskin) will give us designs closer to what we can see in the end. On the other hand, looking at the hegemony of the 5G on iPhone XII (including the mini), it would not make sense to expect that in an upcoming iPhone remittance (not SE) this would be seen only on one of the models. All thus, the basic models of iPhone XIII would have 5G at least in sub-6GHz mode, while more expensive models would use mmWave technology. As you know, the Twitter @LeaksApplePro account, which has a somewhat irregular track record of success, soon began with rumors pointing out data that would be very interesting to fulfill. Among them, the arrival of the 120 Hz refresh rate to the screens of the iPhone XIII thanks to the arrival of the panels with LPTO technology, which was almost assumed for the iPhone XII and finally did not arrive.
Speaking of the screens, all four are expected to come with OLED panels and with that frequency. And it is noted that the infrared sensor included in the Face ID could be replaced by a Time of Flight (ToF) type sensor. Thus, although almost all voices maintain that Apple's advanced facial recognition system (some that with notch and others that disguised, but all very dispersed) will be preserved, there is also talk of the return of touch ID, Apple's fingerprint reader, although included on the screen as we have seen for a while on Android mobiles. This is perhaps less likely than the possibility we've already seen come true on the iPad Air (2020), i.e. it's on the power/unlock button.
The absence of ports is another aspect that has been rumored for a while, especially since the prediction of the well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo already pointed it for the iPhones of 2021 (at least one of the models). The alternative to Lighting if there are no ports? the MagSafe of iPhone XII or even something similar to the iPad Smart Connector (for accessories, for now), perhaps dodging the possible threat of necessarily having to switch to a universal connector. Prosser also let something out about storage, specifically that future iPhones reach 1TB. Hence the configurations that are proposed are 128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB for the iPhone XIII and XIII mini and 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB for the iPhone XIII Pro and Pro Max, but let's remember that this filterer does not have the best track record.
By the way, it's too early to talk about the technical details as we've seen with the rest of the features, but even though there's already some rumor about the cameras. From the information that has come to us we also extract the possibility to see sensors with pixels of 1.9 mm in the cameras of the iPhone XIII Pro and Pro Max, seeing that the iPhone XIII and XIII mini would be left with pixels of 1.7 mm in their catchers like that of the iPhone XII Pro Max (unlike the pixels of 1.4 mm of the iPhone XII Pro and the rest of iPhone XII.
It should be noted that there is no talk of sensor sizes (there are some very unbelievable rumors about jumping to 64 megapixels), but the theory says that with larger pixels each of them captures more light, so this must be advantageous to get higher quality in complicated light conditions. Kuo did point out that in the sensors for the wide angles of the Pro models we would see an improvement over their predecessors by seeing 6P lenses with f/1.8 aperture (and not 5P with f/2.4 as in the 12 Pro). As for its release date, for now there are no leaks that talk about it, since very recently the iPhone XII was released.
It is usual that there is an annual update cycle and that next year we will see them again only in October. Perhaps by 2021 there will be more doubts because the manufacturer changed what would have been its annual agenda due to the Coronavirus pandemic, delaying the launch of its terminals this year from the above.
