Apple will be launching three new models of the iPhone 13 later this year, and we are expecting the handsets to launch in September.
According to a recent report, the new models will be slightly thicker than the iPhone 12 range due to the new cameras in this year’s iPhones. This will apparently apply to all three models, and the iPhone 13 and 13 Pro will measure 7.57mm thick. In comparison, the iPhone 12 range measures 7.4mm thick, so the increase is around 0.17mm.
The picture above and below from MacRumors give us an idea of the difference in the new iPhones’ thickness over the current models.
Enhanced Camera Capabilities
One of the most anticipated upgrades in the iPhone 13 series is the enhanced camera system. The new camera modules are expected to offer significant improvements in low-light performance, image stabilization, and overall photo quality. Apple is rumored to be incorporating sensor-shift stabilization technology across all models, a feature previously exclusive to the iPhone 12 Pro Max. This technology stabilizes the camera sensor instead of the lens, resulting in sharper images and videos.
Additionally, the iPhone 13 Pro models are expected to feature an upgraded ultra-wide lens with better aperture, allowing for improved night mode photography. The camera bump on the back of the devices will be larger to accommodate these advanced sensors and lenses, contributing to the slight increase in thickness.
Performance and Design Upgrades
The new handsets will come with a range of other upgrades beyond the cameras. This includes a new A15 Bionic processor, which promises faster performance and better energy efficiency. The A15 chip is expected to be built on a 5nm+ process, offering incremental improvements over the A14 Bionic chip found in the iPhone 12 series.
In terms of memory, the iPhone 13 models are rumored to come with more RAM, enhancing multitasking capabilities and overall device performance. The base models may start with 6GB of RAM, while the Pro models could feature up to 8GB.
Another notable change is the smaller notch on the front of the iPhone’s display. Apple has reportedly managed to reduce the size of the TrueDepth camera system, which houses the Face ID sensors, allowing for a more immersive viewing experience. This design tweak is expected to be well-received by users who have long desired a less obtrusive notch.
The design changes to the handsets are expected to be minor over the current range, but we could also see some new color options that would only be available on the new models. Rumors suggest that Apple might introduce a new matte black finish for the Pro models and a bronze or orange color for the standard models.
Battery life is another area where the iPhone 13 series is expected to see improvements. The slightly thicker design may allow for larger battery capacities, which, combined with the more efficient A15 chip, could result in longer battery life compared to the iPhone 12 series.
In summary, the iPhone 13 series is shaping up to be a significant upgrade over the iPhone 12 range, with enhancements in camera technology, processing power, and overall design. As always, Apple fans eagerly await the official announcement, which is expected to take place in September.
