Unless Apple suddenly changes the date, something that does not seem likely, we are 6 months away from knowing the iPhone 13. Although there are still many unknowns about them, there are some characteristics that have been filtered by various sources and that confirm that Apple will finally fulfill the desire of many users in most sections of their screens. Below we recapitulate the latest reports that have once again confirmed what had already been discussed in previous months.
Screen sizes and type of iPhone 13
As already happened with the iPhone 12, its successors are expected to all incorporate OLED screens . This is already the market standard and after having left the iPhone 11 as the last model with LCD (saving the iPhone SE) it does not seem that Apple is going to go back on this path. While it is true that the screens would have some other different characteristics, the technology and construction method would be the same. We would find ourselves again with sizes of 5.4 inches (‘mini’), 6.1 inches (standard model and ‘Pro’) and 6.7 inches (‘Pro Max’). That is, the same as with the iPhone 12 released just a few months ago, with three sizes available in four different models.
The notch will finally be reduced!
Although it may seem somewhat minor, the famous iPhone eyebrow in which Face ID is incorporated is something that bothers some users a lot, especially if we take into account its null variation since the launch of the iPhone X three and a half years ago. . Although for the normal models it is expected to remain the same, in the ‘Pro’ and ‘Pro Max’ models it could be reduced. This change would not be a big reduction, since it would only be made less tall (occupying the same width), but it would already be something remarkable that although it does not end up satisfying everyone, it would be a first step so that in 2022 it is completely eliminated as they point out now some analysts.
120 Hz and Always-On on ‘Pro’ models
Having a higher refresh rate could not be possible in the iPhone 12, since 5G technology and the most depleted batteries made the autonomy go to waste, but it seems that 2021 will be the year. This will be one of the differential characteristics in the higher-end models, which would finally be equated with other competing flagships, betting on a greater fluidity in the view of the screen. It would be accompanied by the possibility of having certain information always on the screen with what is known as “Always On Display”, which is already present in the Apple Watch Series 5 and Series 6 thanks to the LTPO technology that these iPhones would release.
Touch ID under screen in all
Touch ID was known to be making a comeback this year due to the need to unlock the iPhone with a mask. However, it was not entirely clear that it was going to be with an under-screen ultrasonic sensor in all cases, since it could have been exclusive to the ‘Pro’ models. However, in recent days there have been some analysts who suggest that all models will incorporate it, something that is excellent news.
It will be necessary to confirm over the months if any more functions are added or if for any reason they are discarded. We cannot confirm one hundred percent that these features will arrive, but if we take into account that they come from different sources and all of them are highly reputed, it does not seem that they can be fakes , so we could already be seeing the first characteristics of an iPhone that , like every year, they are highly anticipated.
