This blog talk about all iPhone 13 news

1. It's only weeks away from the launch of the 2021 iPhone 13 models in September, and since
we've been hearing rumors about what to expect from the new devices since before the 2020
iPhone 12 models came out, we have a pretty good idea of ​
​
what's coming. We don't yet know
when the new iPhones will appear, but if Apple follows previous event plans, the most likely
target date for an event is September 14th.
The 2021 iPhone lineup will look similar to the 2020 iPhone lineup, with four devices in sizes
that include 5.4-inch, 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch, with two iPhones being high-end "Pro" models and
two in-place low-cost, affordable devices.
Major design changes are unexpected, and the 2021 iPhones will have the same features set
in the 2020 iPhones, but we can count on camera improvements, a faster A-series processor, a
new 5G chip from Qualcomm, increased battery life, and an adjustment for the notch size.
There were early rumors that at least one iPhone in 2021 would feature a portless design
entirely based on wireless charging, but trusted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says that won't happen.
Apple will continue to rely on Lightning for the foreseeable future without moving to USB-C and
there won't be a portless design until MagSafe accessories become more popular. Alternatively,
cashless iPhones could start appearing in 2022.
We're expecting a smaller notch, and while some rumors have suggested it might be less in
depth, hardware mockups based on information gleaned from the Chinese supply chain suggest
it will be even smaller, and take up less space than the current grade. Apple is also expected to
offer screen refresh rates of 120Hz for Pro iPhone models, bringing ProMotion technology from
iPad Pro to iPhone for the first time.
Apple is said to be considering adding an in-display fingerprint sensor to iPhone 13 models,
which will be used in addition to Face ID as an alternative method for biometric authentication,
but that looks likely to be saved for the future. iPhone and we heard a little about it. Apple
analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in June that the 2022 iPhones will feature Touch ID under the screen.

2. When it comes to improved camera technology, rumors suggest we could see the iPhone 12
Pro Max's larger sensor extend to other models, along with Sensor-Shift Stabilization for
improved autofocus and stability across the lineup. With the upcoming camera changes, there
are some design changes in the camera bump. This will be even more pronounced on the
iPhone 13 Pro, which gets a much larger camera array, and the iPhone 12 and 12 mini will have
diagonal camera settings.
There are rumors of improvements to the Ultra Wide lens on the iPhone 13 "Pro" models in the
form of better low-light performance and improved autofocus, but few changes are expected to
the wide lens in the hardware. The iPhone 13 and 13 Pro are expected to feature a new
diagonal camera lens setup, which is a departure from the design of the iPhone 12 models.

We expect the iPhone 13 models to have more battery capacity than the iPhone 12 models, with
Apple swapping out space-saving components to make room for larger batteries.
PROSPECTIVE NAME
Since the launch of the iPhone 8 along with the iPhone X in 2017, Apple's naming policy has
been a bit complicated because we didn't have an iPhone 9. After the iPhone X, we moved on
to the XS, XS Max, and XR, and then the iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max.Here are the
names Apple has used since the iPhone was first launched in 2007.
2007 - iPhone
2008 - iPhone 3G
2009 - iPhone 3G S

3. 2010 - iPhone 4 (new design)
2011 - iPhone 4s
2012 - iPhone 5 (new design)
2013 - iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c
2014 - iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus (new design)
2015 - iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus
2016 - iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
2017 - iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X (new design)
2018 - iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max
2019 - iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max

4. 2020 - iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max
Apple's iPhone 12 lineup includes iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro
Max. Based on previous naming conventions, the 2021 iPhone lineup could be either the
iPhone 12s or the iPhone 13, and we should learn more about the new hardware launches.
A July supply chain report notes that Apple will use "iPhone 13" instead of "iPhone 12s" for the
2021 iPhone lineup, continuing with the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone
13 Pro Max.
DESIGN
Apple will continue to offer four iPhones in 2021, with no size changes, so we can expect the
5.4-inch iPhone mini, the low-cost 6.1-inch iPhone, the 6.1-inch Pro model, and the 6.7-inch Pro
Max. Model. Rumors indicated that the iPhone 12 mini saw lackluster sales, but Apple still
plans to buy the iPhone 13 mini at this time.
The 2021 iPhone models are not expected to feature major design changes because the 2020
iPhone models featured significant technology and an overhaul in the design. According to
Bloomberg, Apple engineers consider the 2021 iPhones to be the "S" version of the 2020
models. Apple in the past used the "S" designation in years when iPhone models included more
minor updates.
According to Japanese website Mac Otakara, the new iPhones will be the same size as the
iPhone 12 models, but they are expected to be about 0.26mm thicker. The iPhone 13 models
are also expected to be slightly heavier due to the larger batteries.
The standard iPhone 13 model with a dual-lens camera setup could see the lenses arranged
diagonally instead of in a vertical design. It's not entirely clear what the benefit will be, as the
device will continue to offer the same ultra-wide and wide lenses, but there are some changes in
store such as optical image stabilization to shift the sensor to the wide lens that may require
repositioning.

5. The iPhone 13 Pro models will be 0.2mm thicker, possibly to facilitate a larger battery, and will
have a much larger rear camera module, according to renderings. A larger camera module may
be needed to accommodate shift sensor stabilization and it appears to be the same size as the
iPhone 12 Pro Max rear camera module.
The iPhone 13 Pro's larger camera size is illustrated in the iPhone 12 Pro photos of the iPhone
13 Pro case, which has a significantly larger camera hole. The case was designed based on
CAD images and leaked specifications of the iPhone 13 models.
iPhone 13 models may also feature stronger magnets on the inside and a different matte finish
on the outside. Rumors suggest that the upcoming iPhones will come in a matte black color
that will replace the space gray, along with a new stainless steel coating that reduces smudges
and fingerprints.
It appears that Apple is also considering a bronze-like orange, although that may not happen.
It should be noted that these rumors come from a source who does not have a track record of
accurately predicting Apple's plans.
SMALLER NOTCH
The iPhone 13 is expected to feature a smaller notch, and several reputable sources have
indicated that the notch size will shrink in 2021, including Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Japanese Mac Otakara website The TrueDepth camera will be shallow, when it will appear at
the top of the page. This original proposed version of the original to the oldest of the show.
DigiTimes believes that the notch on iPhone 13 models will "shrink" in size, getting smaller
thanks to a redesigned camera module that integrates Rx, Tx, and flood lighting to allow for a
reduction in size, as well as smaller VSCEL chips. Barclays analysts similarly explained that the
smaller notch on iPhone 13 models would be the result of a "more integrated version of the
current structured lighting system" for Face ID.
The iPhone 13's Face ID transmitter is said to be made of plastic instead of glass, and was
made possible by improved coating technologies, but it's not clear if this will bring benefits to the
end user or if it will simply mean a reduction in production cost for Apple.
The smaller notch can be seen in the leaked display panels that are said to be intended for the
upcoming iPhone 13 models. In these photos, the panels have smaller notches because the
earphone speaker has been moved to the top edge.

6. Mac Otakara in April shared photos of a 3D-printed iPhone 13 model, showing a smaller notch,
the front camera moved to the left, and a repositioned earpiece. Compared to the iPhone 12
Pro, the model states that the iPhone 13 Pro will have a notch that is 5.35mm high, as opposed
to 5.30mm, and 26.80mm wide, down from 34.83mm.
Similar images have emerged from the leaker known as "DuanRui", also showing the smaller
notch and the repositioned earpiece.
PORTLESS DESIGN NOT EXPECTED
Apple's long-standing goal has been an iPhone without ports or external buttons for a clean,
streamlined device, and there have been rumors that Apple will introduce a portless iPhone in
2021 without a Lightning port, but that doesn't seem to happen after all.
Bloomberg said Apple is considering removing the Lightning port on some iPhone models in
favor of wireless charging, but Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently said that Apple will continue
to use the Lightning connector for the 2021 iPhone lineup.
A portless iPhone can be charged using Qi-based wireless charging and MagSafe accessories,
and Kuo doesn't yet think the MagSafe market is mature enough to support a portless design.
NO USB-C
Apple has no plans to move its iPhone lineup from Lightning to USB-C, according to Apple
analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Kuo recently said that Apple is reluctant to switch to USB-C because it is
an open standard and is less water-resistant than Lightning.
With Lightning, Apple can regulate the quality of Lightning cables and accessories through the
Made for iPhone (MFi) program, but that won't be possible with USB-C.
The iPhone 13 and future iPhones are expected to continue using Lightning ports until
MagSafe accessories are ubiquitous enough to allow for a portless iPhone design.
TOCHE ID ?
According to Bloomberg, Apple is testing an on-screen Touch ID fingerprint reader which would
mark a significant change in the biometric systems Apple has used for flagship devices since
the launch of the iPhone X.

7. Joanna Stern of the Wall Street Journal has also suggested that Apple is working on an
in-display fingerprint sensor that could use optical technology, but other rumors have suggested
that Apple will use ultrasound technology from Qualcomm and other suppliers. Ultrasound
technology, which uses sound waves to map a fingerprint, is safer than optical technology and
works in more conditions, but Apple could use a more powerful optical/capacitive hybrid instead.
If Apple implements Touch ID on the screen, a fingerprint sensor will be provided in addition to
Face ID, and it will be convenient for iPhone users who cannot unlock their iPhones with facial
recognition when using masks.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in 2019 that Apple was working on an iPhone with both Face
ID and an in-display fingerprint sensor for launch in 2021, but in February 2021 he said there
was "no vision on the timing" of Touch ID adoption. Touch ID power button. No mention of
Touch ID at the bottom of the screen on iPhone 13.
In March 2021, Barclays analysts claimed that iPhone 13 models were "likely" to have a
fingerprint scanner built into the bottom of the screen for authentication, as well as Face ID, but
this has yet to be confirmed.
LEACKED DUMMY MODELS
Before launching new iPhones, case makers often design mock-ups, which are dummy versions
of upcoming iPhones used to create iPhone cases. We got our hands on dummy models of the
iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, which are based on
specifications and details leaked from Apple's manufacturing partners.
Dummy models are often accurate and generally reliable representations of the new devices
Apple plans to release, and these dummy models are consistent with many of the rumors we've
heard about new iPhones. However, there is always the possibility that some tweaks and
changes to the design will be discontinued.
No major design changes are expected this year, and the dummy models look similar to the
iPhone 12, 12 mini, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max, and come in the same sizes. We expect some
slight thickness differences on some models, but for the most part, the iPhone 13 lineup will look
a lot like the iPhone 12 lineup.
iPhone 12 Pro vs iPhone 13 Pro

8. Apple is rumored to be reducing the notch size in the iPhone 13 lineup and there are notable
changes to the dummy model. The microphone has been moved to the top edge of the device,
which is probably a design change that will allow for a slimmed-down front camera module.
The overall body design may be the same, but there are noticeable changes to some camera
designs. Apple is introducing some new camera features, like Sensor-Shift Stabilization across
the iPhone 13 lineup as well as improvements to the iPhone 13 Pro, so the rear camera settings
for these dummy models aren't identical to the iPhone 12 lineup.
iPhone 13 dummy and iPhone 13 Pro dummy
Apple is working on bringing the iPhone 13 Pro into line with the iPhone 13 Pro Max, so the
camera bump is much larger than the iPhone 12 Pro's camera bump. It's on par with the
camera bump on the iPhone 13 Pro Max, so the iPhone 12 Pro cases won't fit the iPhone 13
Pro.
The iPhone 13 Pro Max looks almost identical to the iPhone 12 Pro Max, although the camera
bump is slightly larger. The dummy model has different lens sizes with slightly larger lenses, but
other than that, there are no changes. Case makers don't necessarily need a spot lens size
accuracy to develop the case, but there may be some changes to the lenses as some camera
upgrades are to be expected.
For the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini, Apple is rearranging the camera lenses in a diagonal
layout that features a flash at the top right of the camera unit and a microphone at the bottom
left, with the wide and ultra-wide lenses diagonally positioned one more. This could be a
change introduced to support the rumored Sensor-Shift Stabilization feature, which is currently
limited to Pro models.
iPhone 12 vs iPhone 13
Dummy models suggest that the iPhone 13 will have a repositioned SIM tray and slight changes
in the location of the volume buttons, while the SIM tray may be slightly shifted on other models
120Hz PROMOTION DISPLAY
There were multiple rumors prior to the launch of the iPhone 12 lineup that suggested the
high-end iPhone 12 models could feature 120Hz ProMotion displays, but later in the rumor
cycle, it became apparent that this feature was delayed until 2021 due to battery life concerns.

9. To implement a 120Hz refresh rate on the iPhone, Apple needs to adopt LTPO display
technology, which is rumored to happen in 2021. At least two 2021 iPhone models will use
OLED displays with isolated low-power LTPO technology, which will pave the way for 120Hz
refresh rates. LTPO offers a more energy-efficient boost panel, which turns individual pixels on
and off on the screen, and allows for better battery life. The two LTPO-equipped models are
expected to be the Pro models, and the two models are rumored to use ProMotion technology.
Samsung will supply LTPO OLED displays that will allow Apple to implement a 120Hz refresh
rate in the 2021 iPhone models, and BOE and LG Display may also provide Apple with some
screens set for use in the new iPhones. Samsung began producing LTPO OLED displays for
Apple in May 2021.
Apple will use Y-OCTA display technology, which allows touchscreen circuits to be engraved
onto an OLED panel without the need for a separate layer. This results in a thinner screen that
is also more affordable.
Apple suppliers Samsung and LG Display are believed to be in the process of converting parts
of their production capacity to produce low-power LTPO OLED panels for the iPhone 13. A full
production switch from LTPS displays to LTPO is likely to be completed in the first half of 2021.
ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY
The iPhone 13 could feature an always-on display similar to the Apple Watch, according to
Bloomberg's Mark Gorman. This is supposed to allow some data like the time to be displayed
on the iPhone lock screen even when it is turned off.
Leaker Max Weinbach also claims that the iPhone 13 will have an always-on display that will
look like a lowered lock screen with the clock and battery level available. Obviously,
notifications will be displayed but the screen will not light up completely.
A15 BAIONC PROCESSOR
Apple will use a 5nm + A15 chip for the 2021 iPhones, with the chip set to be manufactured by
TSMC. We haven't heard specific details about the A15 chip at this point, but new chip designs
always bring improvements in speed and efficiency.
TSMC began production on the A15 chip in late May. Apple has ordered more than 100 million
A15 chips for new iPhones with demand for updated models expected to rise.
5G CHIP AND WIFI 6E

10. In February 2020, Qualcomm launched the third-generation fifth-generation Snapdragon X60
modem, which will be used in the 2021 iPhone phones. Future iPhones will also use
Qualcomm's X65 and X70 modem chips.
Qualcomm's Snapdragon X60 is built on a 5nm process, delivering higher power efficiency in a
smaller footprint than the X55 chip used in iPhone 12 models. It also allows 5G data to be
collected simultaneously from the mmWave and sub-6GHz bands for improved speeds and
coverage.
The faster mmWave 5G technology is expected to expand to other countries, with Apple's
shipments of mmWave iPhones expected to increase significantly in 2021. More than 50
percent of all iPhone 13 models are expected to support mmWave technology, and Apple is
preparing to order more mmWave antennas .
It is claimed that in 2021 Apple will continue to cut iPhone costs to better absorb the cost of 5G
chip technology, with the adoption of a soft battery panel design that would lower costs by 30 to
40 percent compared to the iPhone 12 panel price.
Barclays analysts believe iPhone 13 models will support WiFi 6E, which offers WiFi 6 features
and capabilities extended to the 6GHz band. WiFi 6 provides higher performance, lower latency
and faster data rates, while the additional spectrum of WiFi 6E provides more bandwidth over
existing WiFi bands of 2.4 and 5 GHz. DigiTimes has also suggested that Apple implement
WiFi 6E support in its 2021 iPhone lineup.
In an interview with MacRumors, Wi-Fi Alliance Vice President of Marketing Kevin Robinson
explained all the advantages of Wi-Fi 6E. Wi-Fi 6 will bring a more consistent experience that
works better in dense environments, plus is better able to handle networks that have a lot of
connected devices. It also offers faster performance and lower latency, which is ideal for
gaming.
LARGER BATTERIES 🔋
iPhone 13 models will have larger batteries, which can extend battery life. Apple uses new
space-saving designs such as integrating the SIM slot with the motherboard and reducing the
thickness of the front optical module to free up more space for the battery.
A rumor from Chinese social network Weibo suggests that the iPhone 13 models will all have
bigger batteries.

11. The iPhone 13 Pro Max is said to have a 4,352 mAh battery, up from 3,687 mAh in the iPhone
12 Pro Max, while the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro will have a 3,095 mAh battery, up from
2,815 mAh The iPhone 12. The iPhone 13 mini is expected to have a 2406 mAh battery
compared to the 2227 mAh battery in the iPhone 12 mini.
The A15 chip will offer further improvements in efficiency. DigiTimes reports that the iPhone 13
Pro models will feature 15-20 percent lower power consumption to offset the battery life impact
of higher refresh rate displays.
25W ADAPTOR⚡
iPhone 13 models may support faster charging speeds with support for 25W power adapters.
iPhone 12 models offer fast charging but 20W provides maximum charging power.
Apple could also offer a new 25W power adapter for sale along with the new iPhone models.
1TB MAXIMUM STORAGE
There have been some inconspicuous rumors that the iPhone 13 models will have up to 1TB of
storage, up from a maximum of 512GB on the iPhone 12 models. This hasn't been confirmed by
a trusted source, so we'll need to wait to find out. Whether this prediction is accurate.
REVERSE WIRELESS CHARGING
iPhone 13 models are rumored to have a "slightly larger" wireless charging coil that could result
in better heat management and increased wattage, and might even enable reverse wireless
charging.
Reverse wireless charging of the iPhone will allow charging of other devices such as AirPods,
it has been rumored in the past. This rumor comes from Max Weinbach, who does not always
have reliable information, so it should be viewed with some skepticism.
CAMERA IMPROVEMENTS
There are some notable camera improvements coming in 2021. Sensor shift stabilization will be
expanded across the entire iPhone lineup, leading to improvements in low-light performance
and stabilization by reducing camera shake, with the feature rumored to be available for both
the wide-angle and ultra-wide lens. Ultra-wide for Pro models.
High-end iPhone models will get an ultra-wide camera with a six-element lens and an improved
f/1.8 aperture that lets in more light than the current f/2.4 aperture lens, allowing for better
performance in low-light conditions. iPhone 13 and 13 Pro Max will also include an upgraded
Ultra Wide Camera with autofocus, an upgrade over the ultra-fixed focal length camera on

12. iPhone 12 models. The autofocus feature will allow for sharper photos no matter how far away
the subject is from the lens.
Barclays analysts believe all four iPhone 13 models will feature an ultra-wide camera lens with
a wider f/1.8 aperture, but Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says this ultra-wide upgrade will be
limited to the Pro iPhone models. Barclays also believes that the upgraded telephoto lens used
exclusively in the iPhone 12 Pro Max will expand to the standard iPhone 13 Pro model in 2021.
iPhone 13 Pro models are expected to feature an improved ultra-wide lens, with Apple
upgrading from a 5-element lens to a 6-element lens, which is said to be made possible through
"design and production advantages".
Display analyst Ross Young believes the entire 2021 iPhone lineup will use the same camera
sensors as the iPhone 12 Pro Max, resulting in overall improvements over lower-end models.
Ming-Chi Kuo believes that the iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, and iPhone 13 Pro will have the
same 7P wide-angle lens with an f1.6 aperture as their iPhone 12 predecessors. The larger
iPhone 13 Pro Max is said to have an f1.5 wide-angle lens. , which is a marginal increase
compared to the f1.6 aperture on the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
When it comes to the camera design, the rear camera module may increase in size by 0.9mm
on all iPhone 13 models. The camera bump is expected to remain, but the individual lenses may
protrude less with the new design.
Leaker Max Weinbach says the new camera module won't be completely flat, but that each
lens will protrude less from the device's body. In addition, the instantaneous operation of the
camera module will be smaller, which reduces the thickness of the camera system.
Weinbach claims that the iPhone 13 models will have astrophotography camera capabilities to
capture the sky. There is said to be a special mode that activates when the iPhone is pointed
toward the sky, allowing the device to detect the moon, stars and other artifacts and adjust
exposure. He also says that new iPhone models will be able to capture Portrait Mode videos.
Weinbach added that the portrait mode on the new Pro iPhones will be improved through
increased use of the LiDAR scanner, and he says Apple will also include a new "Correction
Image Stabilization" mode that will automatically detect the subject and keep it focused during
video, as well as improve noise cancellation with beamforming. . Weinbach is not a particularly
reliable source, so it should be viewed with some skepticism until it is confirmed.
Pro photo and video features
Apple is working on several improvements to the iPhone 13 Pro aimed at professional
videographers and professional users, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gorman. The upcoming
iPhones will have a video version of the iPhone's portrait mode, which will allow people to take

13. videos that focus on a person, blurring the background. Internally, Apple calls this "cinematic
video."
Apple also plans to add an option to record in the high-quality ProRes video format. ProRes
videos are designed for professional video editors and will result in large file sizes with HD and
4K resolution options. With the iPhone 12 Pro, Apple added ProRAW, and ProRes is the video
equivalent. It is expected that it will be a feature restricted to iPhone 13 Pro models.
For photos, Apple is developing a filter-like system that aims to improve the appearance and
colors of photos. iPhone users will be able to choose from multiple styles to apply to their
photos, and while the iPhone already offers a range of photos, this new feature will apply
changes to objects and people more precisely using artificial intelligence rather than optimizing
the entire photo.
LIDAR SCANNER
There have been some rumors that the LiDAR scanner added to the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone
12 Pro Max could expand to the entire iPhone lineup in 2021, included in both Pro and Standard
models, but analysts Ming-Chi Kuo and Barclays They have said it will remain limited to the
iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max models only.
The LiDAR scanner measures the distance of light and the pixel depth of objects in a scene to
map the area up to five metres. Allows more realistic AR experiences and improves autofocus
in low-light scenes.
REALISE DAY
Apple's 2021 iPhone lineup will be revealed in the fall of 2021, with the company returning to its
traditional September launch schedule. Apple's iPhone 12 lineup didn't launch in September as
expected due to production delays due to the global health crisis, but the iPhone 13 models
won't face the same production delays and will be available by late September.
Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives has suggested that the iPhone be launched in the third week of
September, which would be the week of September 13-17. Based on previous launch events,
September 7, September 14 and September 21 are all possible event dates where we can see
the new iPhone models unveiled.
DigiTimes said Apple plans to hold two events in September, but it's not clear if this is
accurate. Apple typically splits fall events between September and October or November.
Apple is increasing production of iPhone 13 models to 90 million units through the end of the
year, a 20 percent increase from the 75 million iPhone 12 units produced last year. Apple
expects high demand for new iPhone 13 models and has even hired additional suppliers.
Suppliers are increasing hiring and struggling to find enough workers.
Beyond 2021
2022 Don't Notch iPhone

14. Starting with the 2022 iPhones, Apple is expected to make some major design changes.
iPhones will have no notch, and instead Apple adopts a perforated design that was previously
used for some Android devices, including Samsung smartphones.
At a minimum, high-end iPhone models will have a perforated design, although if the returns
are good, all iPhone models coming in 2022 could feature the same design.
Barclays analysts claim that Apple aims to adopt a time-of-flight architecture for a face ID that
would allow for a "smaller footprint" in 2022, allowing for fundamental changes to the
appearance of the TrueDepth front-facing camera array.
The 2022 iPhones could also include Touch ID under the display, which is supposed to work in
tandem with Face ID for two-factor authentication.
At least one new iPhone in 2023 is expected to include an under-display fingerprint scanner, a
periscope telephoto camera, and a full-screen display without notches or perforations.
2022: discontinue the 5.4-inch 'mini', the new 6.7-inch model
Apple does not plan to offer the 5.4-inch iPhone 14 mini, with the mini line ending after the
iPhone 13. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will instead offer two 6.1-inch iPhones and
two 6.7-inch iPhones, so both will be available as iPhone 14 Standard and iPhone 14 Pro in
these two size options.
Titanium structure
Apple's upcoming iPhone 14 models are also expected to come with an advanced titanium
alloy chassis design, according to an investor report from JP Morgan Chase. Apple has used
titanium in the Apple Watch, but this will be the first time the material has been used for an
iPhone.
Titanium is more resistant to scratching and is stronger than both steel and aluminum, plus it is
more resistant to corrosion.
ProMotion Display Technology
Elec believes that all 2022 iPhone models from Apple will support display refresh rates of
120Hz, which would be a departure from the iPhone 13 lineup as the feature is expected to be
limited to iPhone 13 Pro models. This year, the iPhone 13 and 13 mini won't have ProMotion
displays, but next year, all iPhone models may.
2022 iPhone Camera Improvements

15. 2021 Pro models are expected to get improvements to the ultra-wide camera, and according to
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, all 2022 iPhone models will get the same upgrade.
Future iPhones, such as those coming out in 2022, are expected to include a periscope lens
for much-improved optical zoom, but that's not a rumored feature of the 2021 devices. It's not
clear what 2022 iPhones will feature the new periscope lens, but It is rumored that Apple is
seriously pursuing this technology.
Apple allegedly had trouble developing its Periscope camera system because a lot of the
technology is protected by other patents, and so it's exploring instead buying components from
patent holders instead. Samsung, for example, has the "spherical actuator" technology used in
many periscope lenses. The periscope lens can allow for optical zoom up to 10x.
Ming-Chi Kuo said rear camera improvements coming to high-end iPhones in 2022 will focus
on the telephoto lens, with Apple upgrading from a 6-element lens to a 7-element lens.
iPhone models coming in 2022 are also expected to adopt a "new unibody lens design," which
Kuo says Apple will use to reduce the size of the front-facing camera module.
Kuo believes that the 2022 "Pro" iPhone models will feature 48MP cameras and 8K video
recording capabilities. Videos recorded on iPhone on an 8K screen or TV will provide a “better
user experience” as a result, and will allow the iPhone to create videos and photos that are
“more suitable for AR/MR devices” and this will enhance the AR/MR user experience.”
New cooling technology
From 2022, high-end iPhone models will likely adopt a vapor chamber thermal system, which
Apple is "vigorously testing," according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Thermal VC will be
required for high-end iPhones due to their stronger computing power and faster 5G connection
speeds. There are already smartphones from companies like Samsung, Razer, and LG that use
vapor chamber cooling technology, which is used to keep the device cool when it is under
extreme stress.
It's unclear whether the vapor chamber thermal system will meet Apple's high requirements,
but Kuo is optimistic about the reliability improvement schedule and at least expects it to be
adopted in high-end models in the near future.
3nm chip
Apple's iPhone 2022 lineup could feature chips built using TSMC's 3nm process, with the
Apple supplier due to begin mass production of 3nm chips in the second half of 2022.
Snapdragon X65

16. Qualcomm introduced in February 2021 the Snapdragon X65, the first 10 Gigabit 5G
smartphone platform and modem. Apple isn't set to use the X65 in its 2021 iPhone lineup, but
that modem is slated for use in 2022. Qualcomm had already worked on improving the modem
chip ahead of its inclusion in the 2022 iPhone 14.
5G modem designed by Apple
Apple is creating its own in-house modem chips, such as Apple's silicon and A-series chips,
that will allow the company to reduce its reliance on modem chip vendors. Apple has been
working on the modem for several years and the development process accelerated after Apple
acquired the majority of Intel's smartphone modem business in 2019.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently said that Apple could move to its own 5G modems as
early as 2023. Once Apple comes out with its own modem designs, it won't need Qualcomm
anymore. 2023 is the "earlier" date, however, the timeline may change.
Face ID under the screen
The iPhone 2023 lineup is expected to include Face ID technology under the display, which
should eliminate the need to fit the TrueDepth camera array inside a hole at the top of the
display.
2023 iPhone Camera Improvements
Apple's iPhones are expected to adopt a "periscope telephoto lens" in 2023, according to
well-respected TF Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
FOLDABLE IPHONE
Moreover, in the future, it is likely that Apple will introduce some kind of foldable iPhone, based
on the many rumors and patents published by the company, as well as competition from
companies such as Microsoft and Samsung, which have developed foldable smartphones.
A mockup of what a foldable iPhone could look like
According to Bloomberg, Apple began "early work" on an iPhone with a foldable screen, but the
company has not yet committed to releasing a foldable device. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo
believes that the foldable iPhone will be released in 2023.
