Excited for the iPhone 13? Here are the five biggest changes we expect in the 2021 iPhones.
We’re eagerly awaiting the iPhone 13 as the expected launch date nears – on September 17, if one rumor is to be believed – even if we aren’t completely sure what’s coming in the next Apple handset. Given the plethora of rumors, we have an idea of what to expect: an incremental upgrade that keeps the iPhone 12 ’s flat-edged design while introducing a few new perks. Even last year’s phone didn’t add too much beyond the visual makeover aside from 5G and MagSafe, so we’re curious how Apple will convince consumers to upgrade or switch over from Android. The steady iPhone 13 rumors have given us plenty to look forward to, however, and we’re intrigued by what we’ve heard. Here are the five biggest iPhone 13 changes we expect to come in 2021. Yes, the infamous notch will probably stick around, even after most Android phones have switched over to punch-holes (or even started hiding them under displays, including the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 foldable). But multiple rumors have suggested the iPhone 13 will get a smaller notch, with some reports suggesting it will be 30% narrower than the cutout on the iPhone 12. At this point, we’re pretty used to the notch – and even more habituated to Apple’s lagging behind in phone industry trends. Given the cutout still holds several sensors necessary for Face ID and other authentication, moving to a single camera would be a big shift. Baby steps. There’s previously been a feature gap between the more affordable iPhone (and mini) and the Pro and Pro Max models, which is sort of understandable – gotta have a reason to upgrade, right? But rumors suggest some camera features in the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max will trickle down for the iPhone 13 models.
