Chinese sources have released a high-quality image of the next smartphone in the iPhone lineup, which should be released this fall, the iPhone 13 or iPhone 12s, if the rumors about Apple's superstitions turn out to be true.
Many insiders confirmed that Apple will not abandon the famous notch at the top of the screen, but will make this notch smaller in area, which is shown in the rendering. It is also expected that the effective area of the screen will become even larger due to the further reduction in the width of the frames.
The iPhone 13 is expected to use the latest D-ToF (Direct ToF) technology; which will replace existing Face ID components and reduce the amount of space required for facial recognition.
The image says that the smartphone will receive a battery with increased capacity, a Lightning connector, a laser rangefinder (in all models of the line) and a 120-hertz ProMotion screen. Samsung LTPO screen will support refresh rate from 1Hz to 120Hz for better battery saving.
The smartphone will run Apple A15 SoC; it will receive an improved wide-angle camera with an aperture of f / 1,8 and up to 1 TB of flash memory.
The presentation of the smartphone should take place in September this year.
Apple has created a new under-display fingerprint scanner for the iPhone
Unlike other smartphone manufacturers that get fingerprint sensors from Qualcomm and others, Apple is developing its own in-display fingerprint sensor. Sources claim that this technology will soon be used in iPhone smartphones.
The company is exploring different types of embedded fingerprint technologies, including capacitive systems and ultrasonic sensors. However, sources say the company ultimately decided to focus on optical recognition technology; which uses reflected light instead of ultrasonic vibration to read and analyze fingerprints.
Many iPhone 12 users complain about the lack of a fingerprint scanner in the expensive flagship smartphone. In the pandemic era, when users wear masks and Face ID is often inconvenient.
There were earlier reports that the next-generation iPhone SE will have a fingerprint scanner; like some models of the iPhone 13 line.
Recently, based on rumors and sources, graphic designer Technizo Concept has collaborated with LetsGoDigital to make a series of 3D renders of the upcoming iPhone Flip, which could be released next year.
Various sources claim that Apple has decided on a form factor. The new smartphone will be a flip phone, similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and the new Motorola Razr. The device must use a folding screen manufactured by Samsung.
