Apple’s iPhone 13 isn’t far off now. The next-generation iPhone may be released in only a few months. Here’s everything you need to know.
It feels like the iPhone 12 only just came out, but the iPhone 13 may only be a few months away. The next-gen iPhone series isn’t expected to offer a major redesign — that came with the iPhone 12. But it will bring refinements that users have been asking for years. We’ve learned a ton about the next iPhone series over the past few months, thanks to all the leaks and rumors that have been coming out. In fact, we’ve seen leaks regarding the iPhone 13’s design, performance, display, camera, and more. At this point, we’re expecting four models, like on the iPhone 12. These will include the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Excited for the iPhone 13 series yet? Here’s everything we know about the new phone so far. The name “iPhone 13” isn’t set in stone — and in fact, many rumors, and a report from market research firm TrendForce, indicate that the device will end up being called the iPhone 12s. There may be good reasons for this. For starters, the next iPhone may be more of an incremental update, thus not really warranting a jump in naming. Some rumors suggest that the biggest update will be the addition of a 120Hz display — and that’s not even likely to come to all new iPhone models. Perhaps more important is the fact that Apple may want to avoid cultural associations with the number 13. In many parts of the world, including the U.S., the number 13 is considered unlucky. Of course, that doesn’t get around the use of the number 13 — but next year, Apple is rumored to skip from the iPhone 12s to the iPhone 14. The iPhone 12 received a major design overhaul, swapping out the rounded edges with flat ones. It’s a good look, and one that Apple isn’t expected to do away with for a while. That doesn’t mean we’ll see no design changes on the iPhone 13 — just that the design changes we do see may be minor.
