iPhone 13: Everything you need to know about Apple's next flagship

iPhone 12 Mini

The big day is here – we expect to launch the brand new iPhone 13 today at the California Streaming event. Here you’ll find all the details about the new phone and all the rumours that have come before the launch.

Apple’s current flagship smartphone lineup consists of four models: the iPhone 12, the iPhone 12 Pro, the iPhone 12 Pro Max and the pocket-sized iPhone 12 Mini. We awarded all four phones 4.5 stars, meaning Apple has a lot to live up to if it wants to impress us again.

The iPhone 12, in particular, saw significant improvements over the iPhone 11, raising the bar for the more expensive Pro. However, the range as a whole wasn’t a huge departure from the iPhone 11 series.

Apple recently referenced four unreleased models in an FCC filing for its MagSafe chargers (via MacRumors), while also referring to the iPhone 12 range as a set of “legacy” devices, making it seem likely the company will launch four models once again.

That is, an iPhone 13, an iPhone 13 Pro, an iPhone 13 Pro Max and an iPhone 13 Mini.

Right now, the biggest changes we expect to see with the new flagship include a smaller notch and bigger batteries across the board, along with an always-on 120Hz display and up to 1TB of storage on the Pro versions of the phone.

We’re also expecting to see improvements to the ultra-wide camera sensor and support for satellite communications, so users can make calls and send text messages in emergencies, without signal.

Scroll down to discover everything we know about the iPhone 13 ahead of its launch, including price, release date, design and specs.

Release date – When will the phone launch?

Apple has officially confirmed that it will be hosting an Apple Event on September 14 at 10am PDT (that’s 6pm here in the UK). We expect to see the iPhone 13 make its debut at the event, alongside the Apple Watch 7 and possibly the AirPods 3 and the iPad Mini 6.

While we expect Apple to unveil the iPhone 13 during the event, as is tradition, the pandemic delayed last year’s iPhone 12 to October 13, so it isn’t entirely clear whether the company will return to its usual schedule for 2021. Last year, Apple held a September event that didn’t mention the iPhone, so it’s possible that could be the case again.

Wedbush analyst Dan Ives (via Barrons) predicted we’ll see an announcement take place in the third week of September, followed by pre-orders opening on September 17 and the device officially shipping on September 24.

However, during Apple’s Q3 earnings call, chief financial officer Luca Maestri warned investors that the iPhone 13 and the iPad could be impacted by supply constraints in September.

Price – How much will it cost?

As far as cost is concerned, DigiTimes has reported that TSMC – the company responsible for producing many of Apple’s mobile chips – has plans to increase its prices across the board, with a 3-5% price hike anticipated for Apple.

If Apple chooses to pass this price increase onto the consumer, we could see the cost of the iPhone 13 Mini raise from £699 to £720, the base model increase from £799 to £823, the Pro go up from £999 to £1029, and the Pro Max move up from £1099 to £1049.

However, other sources, including @PineLeaks on Twitter, don’t expect to see a price hike on the iPhone 13.

Specs and features – A 120Hz display, no Touch ID and an always-on display

120Hz could be on the cardsTouch ID will not be returningUp to 1TB of storageSatellite mode for emergencies

Jon Prosser of FrontPage Tech believes the iPhone 13 will be getting an LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) display, allowing Apple to include a 120Hz refresh rate on its ProMotion screen.

Apple currently uses LTPO tech to enable its Apple Watch 6 to show an always-on display and we’ve seen it used on some newer best Android phones, such as the OnePlus 9 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra.

This rumour has been backed up by influential analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who asserts both technologies will be coming to some versions of the iPhone 13.

Further evidence for the switch to LTPO comes from a DigiTimes report, which states both Samsung and LG Display are converting parts of their production into making LTPO displays for Apple. The report (via MacRumors) also states these displays are more efficient, with 15-20% less power required.

Leaker Max Weinbach (via YouTube channel EverythingApplePro) also believes we could see an always-on display this year. Weinbach says the clock and battery icons will be visible on the display even when it’s off. You’ll also be able to see your incoming notifications this way, with the whole display no longer needing to light up.

Kuo (via Apple Insider) has suggested that Apple is “aggressively” testing a vapor chamber thermal system to be used in the iPhone, allowing the company to handle higher thermal loads caused by the adoption of 5G and increased CPU performance. However, as of March 1, 2021, Kuo somewhat backed away from those predictions.

Despite the rumours that have been speculating, it seems highly unlikely that the iPhone 13 will feature Touch ID. In fact, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has said in his Power On newsletter that the new flagship phone will definitely not have Touch ID.

Gurman believes this is because of Apple’s long-term goal to include an under-display Face ID sensor. Since they’re all in on implementing Face ID in the display itself, Touch ID won’t make the cut this year.

Touch ID is still available on a few select iPads and some lower-end iPhones, such as the iPhone SE, but it seems the main flagships phones will not include Touch ID for the foreseeable future.

Meanwhile, analysts at Wedbush (via 9to5Mac) think that the iPhone 13 lineup could feature a model with 1TB of storage – that’s nearly double the 512GB found in the highest-specced Pro model right now.

Ming-Chi Kuo shared similar predictions in an investor report on September 12 (via 9to5Mac). The analyst believes we’ll see the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 Mini come with 128GB, 256GB and 512GB configurations, while the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max will include the same options, along with an even larger 1TB model.

Not only would this mark the first 1TB iPhone, but it would also mean the end of the 64GB configuration available on previous Apple phones.

However, TrendForce has previously reported that Apple will be sticking with a max capacity of 512GB, going against Wedbush and Kuo’s suggestions.

There’s also been some chatter about Apple integrating satellite communications onto the iPhone 13, so users will be able to make calls and send messages even when conventional mobile services are unavailable.

Kuo believes that the iPhone 13 will be the first handset that supports low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications technology.

It isn’t clear if satellite communications will be something users will have to pay extra for, or if it will be available as a GPS communication, but it should become clear sometime this month.

Design – We might finally get a smaller notch

The notch is likely to stay until 2022But it could finally be getting smaller

Both DigiTimes (via Forbes) and MacOtakara have suggested that the next iPhone will work to reduce the size of its somewhat dated notch, with the latter also reporting that the phone will be 0.26mm thicker.

iPhone 13there´s a prototype with no notch at all,but -a bit- bigger bezels,meaning the 4 sides are equally biggeror maybe iPhone 14?
