The usually well-educated Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has released some interesting details about the upcoming iPhone 13 in a report. While we don’t expect earth-shattering new features, according to the analyst, Apple will probably make some very desirable updates to the new ones. phone.
According to 9to5Mac, which gained insight in Ming-Chi Kuo’s report, the iPhone 13, like the iPhone 12, will be released in four sizes. So expect again devices with screens from 5.4 to 6.7 inches.
Kuo also confirmed his earlier suspicions that the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max will have an LG OLED display with LPTO, which stands for low-temperature polycrystalline oxide. The big advantage of this is that the screen uses less energy, thanks to the more efficient switching on and off of pixels on a screen.
ProMotion also provides a variable refresh rate up to 120 Hz. The two Pro models are also likely to get one modified version of the ultra wide angle lens with an aperture of f / 1.8 and autofocus. Current iPhone models have an aperture of f / 2.4.
Snapdragon X60
The analyst also expects a narrower ‘notch’ or notch at the top of the screen (where you will find the telephone speaker) and a larger battery, which will make the phones slightly heavier than you are used to. We also find a Snapdragon X60 modem from Qualcomm in the iPhone 13, compared to the X55 in the current devices. Qualcomm has now also presented the Snapdragon X65, the first modem in the world that can handle internet speeds of 10 GB per second. The chip also has a better range for a more stable signal and is said to be more energy efficient. However, we will probably only see this modem in the iPhone 14. The X60 modem in the iPhone 13 can handle 7.6 GB per second.
USB-C and Touch ID
Earlier there were also rumors that the iPhone 13 will no longer have a Lightning connection, but a USB-C connection. Plus, Touch ID would make a return just like on the latest iPads, including the 2020 iPad Air. Kuo, however, has not found any indications that the iPhone 13 will have a USB-C connection and a Touch ID button.
According to the analyst, Apple wants to keep to the regular timeframe in which it usually releases its iPhone. This means that we can expect the iPhone 13 in September. Due to disruptions due to the corona crisis, Apple didn’t release the iPhone 12 until October 23 last year.
