It’s widely expected that the iPhone 13 family will be joined by the Apple Watch Series 7 and the AirPods 3.
The iPhone 12 family represented a dramatic shift in iPhone design, moving from years of curved body shapes to flat sides all around. The iPhone 13 family won’t bring any significant changes compared to last year, but some minor design updates should improve functionality. For starters, Apple reportedly shrunk the notch at the top of the display, resulting in a slight increase in the viewable area. However, the notch still remains a rather large eyesore compared to the smaller hole punch cutouts for the selfie camera on Android smartphones. Another visual change will come with the rear camera pod, which is more prominent this year to accommodate larger sensors. In addition, the sensor-shift optical image stabilization that made its debut with the iPhone 12 Pro Max last year is reportedly now coming to the entire iPhone 13 family. In other camera news, Apple is rumored to add Portrait Mode to video and Cinematic Video with added visual effects. Additionally, the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max will have exclusive access to ProRes video with greater user control of post-production editing. As for the models that will be available this year, they will mirror their predecessors in display sizes across the board: However, the big change on the display front will come with 120Hz ProMotion technology for the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.
