The release of the new iPhone 13 is eagerly awaited.
The design does not promise any major innovations - in contrast to the interior.
Cupertino / USA - As every year, tension rises among the Apple * disciples at the end of August.
Traditionally, the new iPhone is presented in the first weeks of September, along with other innovations from the American tech giant.
Last year, the eagerly awaited presentation of the new smartphone model had to be postponed, and this year experts expect that the new iPhone will only be presented virtually thanks to the corona pandemic *.
Buyers are particularly interested in the upgrades Apple will make to the new model.
As
reported by
gq-magazin.de
, little or nothing should change externally.
Dimensions and design are taken from the current iPhone generation.
Experience has shown that Apple only makes major changes to the design of its devices every three to four generations, most recently with the switch from an angular to a round shape.
iPhone: No major design changes
According to
chip.de
, the
biggest design change will
be the color.
The colors gold / silver / black should certainly come, the variants green and blue are on the test bench, since these are newly introduced color designs.
Apple is said to have already considered the replacement colors matt black and bronze.
According to
chip.de
, leaked photos show an iPhone * 13 model, which comes in a rose gold color.
iPhone 13: camera is much better
For many customers, the camera is one of the most important reasons to buy.
Compared to the iPhone 12, Apple has improved this again.
A significantly thicker camera module could already be recognized on leaked images.
At the same time, the camera lenses are arranged vertically instead of horizontally.
A new lens, however, should not come.
The biggest innovation in the camera sector is said to be the LiDAR technology.
This makes it possible to display the environment as augmented reality (AR) and to focus the camera much better in poor lighting conditions.
So far, the feature was only available for the iPhone 12 Pro and Max, according to
chip.de
, Apple's delivery contracts with Sony * seem to indicate that all iPhone models will be equipped with the technology in the future.
iPhone 13: Big change in the display
The iPhone 12 disappointed on the screen. Many had expected the change to a 120 Hz display, Apple only supplied 60 Hz. Of course, this left the door open for Apple to catch up with the competition this year and to increase the refresh rate of their smartphones. As
macwelt.de
reports, the 120 Hz display will initially only be available for the Pro models.
According to
Bloomberg's
Mark Gurman
, Apple is also testing how fingerprint sensors can be integrated into the display.
However, it is questionable whether the feature will be implemented as early as 2021.
The same applies to an always-on display.
According to Gurman, Apple is also in the test phase here.
In his newsletter, however, he does not specify which models should use the new functions for Apple.
The always-on display is now standard in Samsung devices.
iPhone 13: battery with significant update
A significant update is planned for the battery. As
reported by
zdnet
, the iPhone 13 Pro Max will get a battery with 4,352 mAh. That would mean 18 percent more battery capacity than the iPhone 12 Pro Max with 3,687 mAh. With the Pro model, the capacity should be ten percent higher.
The new iPhone should be significantly more energy efficient overall. According to
gq-magazin
, Apple
expects
the new A-15 chip to increase energy efficiency by 20 percent. The A-15 chip will still use the same architecture as the previous A-14 chip, but should significantly increase the number of transistors and thus the speed. For 2022, Apple is then expected to use the three-nanometer architecture, which is still in its infancy.
It is not yet clear when exactly the new iPhone will appear. It will also be important for the group to answer the question of what name the new iPhone should have. So far there has been a lot of discussion about whether Apple will not skip the number thirteen - it is considered an unlucky number in many cultures.
