Release time
The launch of iPhone 12 in 2020 was influenced by COVID-19, and the supply chain should be able to keep up with Apple’s arrangement this year. At the press conference in September, Apple will launch the iPhone 13. Apple may hold a press conference on Tuesday or Wednesday, and then officially sell the mobile phone in the next week and a half. Generally speaking, mobile phones will be sold on Friday in the third week of September. Looking at the 2021 calendar, the release time of iPhone 13 may be September 8, and it will officially start selling on September 17.
It may not be called iPhone 13.
What is the name of the new machine in 2021? We don’t know yet that Apple may skip the number 13. If it’s not called iPhone 13, what will it be called? It may be called iPhone 12S, just like iPhone 6S in 2015 and iPhone XS in 2018. If the design is not greatly improved, the iPhone in 2021 may be an enhanced version of the iPhone 12. Apple may learn from Samsung and name the new phone iPhone 2021 or iPhone XXI. But Apple may also choose other naming methods.
Pricing may be lower.
There are four versions of iPhone 12, and each version has a different price. When it was launched, the price of the standard iPhone 12 was $799, which was $100 higher than that of the iPhone 11 in 2019, mainly because the mobile phone supported 5G and the cost increased. Judging from the current situation, the technical upgrade of iPhone 13 may not be as strong as that of iPhone 12, and analysts believe that its price will be similar to that of iPhone 12 last year.
However, some people speculate that the pricing of Apple’s next-generation iPhone 13 may be lower. Because of the bad economic situation, some competitors have launched cheaper mobile phones in 2020. Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and Google Pixel 5 are good examples. The pricing of these two phones is the same as that of the iPhone 12 Mini, which is about $100 lower than that of the iPhone 12.
Apple may determine the price of iPhone 13 according to the sales of iPhone 12. As far as the eyes are concerned, iPhone 12 is selling well. In October, among the best-selling 5G mobile phones in the world, iPhone 12 and 12 Pro occupied the top two.
The design may be similar.
At present, there are no renderings or leaked videos of iPhone 13. According to speculation, the design of iPhone 13 and iPhone 12 should not change much, because the iPhone 12 in 2020 is already very different. IPhone 13 may be divided into four versions, namely 5.4-inch iPhone 13 Mini, 6.1-inch iPhone 13, 6.1-inch iPhone 13 Pro and 6.7-inch iPhone 13 Pro Max.
There are two kinds of designs that have been widely discussed, one is narrow bangs or no bangs, and the other is to abandon the Lighting interface. Apple may really choose it, but it is still uncertain. We have been looking forward to it, hoping that Apple’s iPhone will become a real full-screen mobile phone. Since the launch of iPhone X in 2017, the bangs on the iPhone screen have not changed much, and it may be narrowed this year. If you expect bangs to disappear completely, you will only be disappointed. In terms of interface, Apple’s magnetic MagSafe charging technology is welcomed by everyone, and iPhone 12 introduces this technology. If iPhone 13 takes a step forward, it may be possible to completely abandon the Lighting interface and only charge with MagSafe.
New camera technology
In 2020, the camera of iPhone has made great progress, and Pro Max has made the most obvious progress. This phone introduces LIDAR and ProRaw. The camera technology of iPhone 12 is even more interesting than Google Pixel.
Judging from the current speculation, the zoom ability of iPhone 13 may be enhanced. On last year’s iPhone 12, zooming was a big drawback. IPhone 12 Pro Max only supports 2.5x optical zoom, and Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra supports 100x zoom (mixing digital and optical zoom). Some analysts say that Apple will introduce a periscope camera, which will enhance its zoom ability. There is also news that all four iPhone 13 will support LIDAR technology. In 2020, only Pro and Pro Max will support LIDAR.
Another source said that the display refresh rate of iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max will reach 120Hz, while that of iPhone 11 and 12 is only 60Hz. It is possible for iPhone 13 to reintroduce Touch ID technology. At the beginning of 2019, there were rumors that Apple would resurrect Touch ID in 2020, but the rumors failed. Today, many people still expect Touch ID.
On the iPhone 12 Pro Max, Apple introduced the sensor displacement OIS, which should also appear on the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max. As the size of the main sensor is expanded by 47%, the shooting performance of iPhone 13 in low light environment should be enhanced. In terms of design, if the rumor is true, the back of the iPhone 13 should be flat and the camera will not protrude high.
Other guesses
Recent rumors say that the next generation of iPhone will introduce soft battery technology. Compared with the existing batteries, the flexible battery has fewer layers, so the battery will be thinner, which means that if the iPhone 13 is the same size as the iPhone 12, more batteries can be squeezed in.
Analysts revealed that Apple is actively testing the vacuum cavity vapor chamber heat dissipation technology, which may be used on the iPhone in the future, but I don’t know whether the iPhone 13 will be introduced.
In the high-end game equipment, we have seen the vacuum cavity vapor chamber heat dissipation technology, and the mobile phone only uses the "small version". Key components dissipate heat, allowing liquid water or other liquids to evaporate and then flow to the whole shell, thus improving heat dissipation efficiency. If Apple really introduces vacuum cavity vapor chamber heat dissipation technology into the mobile phone, it will be cooler.
In fact, Huawei has already tried it, and Mate 20 X uses the vacuum cavity vapor chamber heat dissipation technology. (Knife)
