iPhone 13


We know much about the iPhone 13 months before its launch, thanks to the numerous hints around smartphones to date. It was known that Apple would launch the new iPhone lineup in September, but a recent prediction now closes down on the date.

Apple is expected to release the new iPhone 13, likely to be named the iPhone 12 s, on September 24. The release will follow an announcement of the new series on September 14. Pre-order are likely to start on September 17. Click to buy All model i phone

PhoneArena has speculated the dates based on predictions by Wedbush analyst Dan Ives. Ives shared the assumption in a research note on Monday, stating that Apple might make the new iPhone series announcement in "the third week of September."

As pointed out by PhoneArena, the dates mentioned above fit perfectly with Apple's usual launch schedule of Tuesday-Friday-Friday for the new iPhone series.

Apple has high hopes from the new series and expects it to be the top seller among its smartphone offerings post its launch. So much so that the tech major is projected to produce up to 223 million units of the iPhone 13 series this year. With this, the new series will account for about 39 per cent of Apple's total annual production volume for 2021.

The anticipation of strong sales arises from easing lockdown restrictions in many of Apple's markets as well as Huawei's absence from some of them. It is expected that Apple will launch the iPhone 13 series at the same price as the iPhone 12 models launched last year.

Speculations to date suggest that Apple will launch four iPhone models - iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max. The devices will feature Apple's A15 5nm+ chipset, upgraded camera setups and smaller notches at the front. All the variants might don AMOLED panels, with a 120Hz refresh rate also expected on the Pro models. The memory options are likely to be limited to 512GB as last year's offerings.

With the launch date and much of the specifications of the iPhone 13 series known, there is little left to speculate about the upcoming Apple devices. The only thing left to see is how many of these speculations come true when Apple finally launches the iPhone 13.Click to buy All model i phone


Apple iPhone 13: Everything We Know So Far

Apple’s iPhone 13 range is ‘ahead of schedule’ with a much earlier release set to surprise (and delight) iPhone fans. And now exclusive new leaks have revealed a lot more about Apple’s exciting new smartphones.

First up is CNet, which explains that “Apple may lower the price of the iPhone 13” following market pressure from rivals, notably Samsung which dropped Galaxy S21 prices by $200 compared to its predecessors. 

In my opinion, Apple’s record iPhone 12 sales make this unlikely. That said, there is no doubt CNet is correct in pointing out the price squeeze and it is possible Apple will need to be proactive in its response with the iPhone 13 range.

Seven New iPhones, One Mystery

Building on this, French site Consomac has spotted that Apple has submitted seven new iPhone 13 model numbers to the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) database, an official regulatory body. The mystery here is Apple typically submits US and international model numbers for its devices and with four new iPhones coming (iPhone 13, 13 Mini, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max), one is missing. 

Whether this means one iPhone model (possibly the iPhone 13 Mini after poor sales of the iPhone 12 mini) will not be getting as wide an international release, remains to be seen.

Massive iPhone Storage Upgrades

Also turning heads are new leaks that Apple will double iPhone 13 Pro storage to 1TB, which should have a positive knock-on effect to storage options down the range. If the report is correct, iPhone 13 Pro models could well sell in 128GB, 512GB / 1TB options which creates strong upsell potential at each price point. 

iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini models, however, are expected to retain the same 64/128/256GB storage options. 

Significant Battery Gains

Last, recent leaks claim that Apple will give the iPhone 13 range a big battery boost over its predecessors. The iPhone 13 Pro Max is set to lead the way with an 18% gain to 4,352 mAh - the largest battery ever fitted into an iPhone - with 8% and 10% capacity gains for the iPhone 13/iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Mini, respectively. 

Combine these latest leaks with what we already know: the new iPhone 13 design (thanks to leaked schematics) with a shrunken notch, genuinely eye-opening supersized rear cameras (with upgraded image stabilization and clever beamforming mics), the hyper-efficient A15 chipset, new 120Hz ProMotion displays (for iPhone 13 Pro models) and even talk of a pink edition and Apple looks set for another bumper iPhone year. Click to buy All model i phone
