Over the past few days, there have been several rumors and speculations regarding the upcoming iPhone 13 series. Apple is rumored to skip the “iPhone 13” and instead launch the iPhone 12S. There are also speculations that the iPhone 13 may not use the notch feature and Face ID. A recent rendering of the back of the iPhone 13 Pro shows that it is basically the same as the iPhone 12 Pro series. At this time, it is impossible to determine the authenticity of this image. We still have more than six months before this device arrives. So, it is too early to confirm anything.
The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max versions are also reported to have 1TB versions. To some extent, this may leave room for 8K HDR 45FPS video capture. Compared to the iPhone 12 Pro, which has a maximum capacity of 512 GB, the iPhone 13 Pro directly increases by a factor of 1. This will be the biggest leap in terms of storage in the history of Apple. The minimum capacity for the iPhone 12 series is 128 GB. Whether the company will increase the minimum capacity remains to be seen.
According to John Prosser, his sources have seen CAD files of the upcoming iPhone. He claims that the cutout of the iPhone 13 prototype is not narrower, but shorter. He also said that the iPhone 13 series will have 4 models like the iPhone 12 series. Nothing is defined at the prototype level. There may still be significant changes in the design of the phone.
iPhone 13 Pro assumes a price
Looking at the reports made so far, we can guess the price of the iPhone 13 Pro. Taking the iPhone 12 series as an example, the official 128GB standard iPhone 12 Pro cost $999. Additionally, the 256GB and 512GB versions cost $1099 and $1299. In China, the three models cost 8 yuan ($499), 1314 yuan ($9) and 299 yuan ($1438), respectively. We can see that for every 11GB increase in storage, there is an increase of $099. In China, for each 1716GB increase in memory, the price increases by more than 128 yuan ($100). Following this trend, the 128TB version will cost around $800 in the US. In China, the 124TB iPhone 1 Pro should cost more than 1699 yuan ($13).
iPhone 13 or iPhone 12s - what will happen?
There have been questions about the name of Apple's upcoming series. Will it be the iPhone 13 series or the iPhone 12s series? Analysts believe that Apple will skip the “iPhone 13” because the number “13” is creepy in many Western cultures. Technology manufacturers do this from time to time. Remember that Qualcomm recently adopted the number “888” for its latest flagship as it is a lucky number in China. There are reports that Apple would rather settle for an “iPhone 12s” instead of the iPhone 13. Also, the “s” on a smartphone usually refers to an upgrade to the original digital version. However, Apple has had many “13” devices in the past. It has a similar Bionic A13 chip to the 13-inch MacBook.
