MacOtakara: iPhone 13 will keep the design of the iPhone 12, while the devices of the upcoming family will become thicker
Yesterday, the online edition MacOtakara published information about the iPad family, due out in 2021. Today a Japanese blog has shared data on the iPhone 13. Smartphones of the new generation are likely to be thicker than the previous ones.
MacOtakara, citing Chinese component suppliers, reports that all four iPhone 13 models will retain the design and dimensions of the current-generation iPhone 12. The thickness of the device is expected to increase by 0.26 mm. Due to what the thickness will be greater, it is not specified. Perhaps the reason lies in a new type of matrix that will be used in smartphones. Recently it was revealed that Samsung would supply 120Hz LTPO OLED panels for the iPhone 13.
The camera unit can receive a sapphire coating, while their matrices will be identical to those used in the iPhone 12 now. In the iPhone 13, Apple can move the earpiece higher, reducing the area of the notch used for TrueDepth cameras. 9to5Mac notes that the entire iPhone 13 family of smartphones can be equipped with a LIDAR scanner. In the current generation, LIDAR is only available on the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max.
The presentation of the new generation of smartphones is likely to be traditionally held in September. Although Apple made an exception in 2020, unveiling new iPhones in October. Besides, due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, all the events of the Cupertines were held online.
