The iPhone 2021 lineup might follow a similar pattern to the 2020 lineup with four devices ranging in sizes of 5.4 inches, 6.1 inches, and 6.7 inches.

As usual, the next generation iPhone is tentatively dubbed 'iPhone 13', but this naming convention isn't set in stone. Apple might opt for iPhone 12s instead of iPhone 13.

Recently, @TheAppleHub leaked the entire design, specifications, and pricing of the iPhone 13 Series. So, what's there for the iFans to eagerly anticipate in these upcoming flagship devices?

Specifications of iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini

In terms of design, both the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini remain largely unchanged from the iPhone 12 and 12 mini. The iPhone 13 features a diagonal camera arrangement and a slightly smaller notch compared to the iPhone 12.

Regarding specifications, the iPhone 13 is predicted to feature a 6.1-inch OLED display. The device is expected to be powered by the Apple A15 chip and a 3,095 mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging. The camera setup of the iPhone 13 is anticipated to see improvements in wide-angle photography, along with features like portrait video recording, astrophotography, and more.

Additionally, the phone will come with Face ID 2.0 and 5G support. It will be available in three storage options: 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. The starting price of the device is estimated to be $799 (approximately 18 million VND).

The iPhone 13 mini is expected to feature a 5.4-inch OLED display and a 2,406 mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging. Its specifications are similar to the iPhone 13, and the device is projected to have a starting price of $699 (approximately 15.9 million VND).

Specifications of iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max

This year, Apple focuses on enhancing the hardware of the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. The design of the duo sees minimal changes from their predecessors, except for a smaller notch and larger camera cluster compared to the iPhone 12 Pro.

In terms of specifications, both the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max feature OLED displays measuring 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches respectively. Notably, these displays support up to 120 Hz refresh rate and Always-On display feature. Both devices are powered by the latest Apple A15 chip.

The cameras of the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max have seen significant improvements, including larger image sensors, enhanced wide-angle cameras, and features like ProRes video recording, portrait video mode, and astrophotography.

The iPhone 13 Pro will feature a 3,095 mAh battery, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max will come with a 4,352 mAh battery, both supporting 25W fast charging. Additionally, these devices will offer multiple storage options including 128GB, 512GB, and up to 1TB.

The starting price for the iPhone 13 Pro is $999 (approximately 22.7 million VND), and for the 13 Pro Max, it's $1,099 (around 25 million VND).

The 2021 iPhones are likely to be identified as upgraded versions of the current iPhone 12 lineup. Apple is also considering refinements such as a matte black finish for the iPhone 13 Pro, along with exploring new Orange/Bronze color options for both the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.

2. Official Release Date of iPhone 13

Following Apple's tradition, the company usually unveils its new products on the second Friday of September each year. This means that in 2021, the release date will fall on 09/24.

This is further evidenced by recent analysis from Daniel Ives at Wedbush, who suggests that the iPhone 13 is poised to launch in September, with Apple planning to produce over 25% more iPhone 13 units compared to the iPhone 12.

3. Exciting Features to Expect on iPhone 13

Revamped Design Sets New Trends

According to Mac Otakara from Japan, the new iPhones will have the same dimensions as the iPhone 12 models, but the thickness may increase by about 0.26 mm. The iPhone 13 models are also expected to be slightly heavier due to larger batteries.

Renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that Apple will release the iPhone 13 with a smaller notch, utilizing the saved space to increase the battery capacity.

Additionally, Apple has recently been granted a patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office for an optical sensor integrated into the phone's display panel.

This sensor could potentially serve as a fingerprint scanner and create a 3D map of the face. It might even be customizable into a selfie camera.

In other words, this could potentially become the Touch ID, Face ID, and even selfie camera feature beneath the screen. If this technology is successfully implemented on the iPhone 13, the notch may be eliminated, making it the first full-screen iPhone that Apple offers to users.

Equipped with ProMotion OLED 120 Hz Display

It is highly likely that Apple will use the ProMotion OLED 120Hz display panel on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. This will allow the company to better differentiate its ‘Pro’ models from the rest. Apple will also employ on-cell touch displays across all 4 models of the iPhone 13.

With a 120 Hz refresh rate display, it will bring a faster touchscreen experience, smoother performance, along with the renowned seamless iOS operating system.

Enhanced Camera, Delivering the Best Experience

Previously, the main camera was elevated on the surface of the rear control panel and individual lenses protruded higher. Now, the entire camera cluster will be covered by a common protective glass layer.

A new report from DigiTimes claims that the entire iPhone 13 lineup is expected to use LiDAR scanners and will not be limited to the Pro models.

The latest rumors suggest that the next generation of iPhones will have improved cameras. All four iPhone 13 models will be equipped with an optimized ultra-wide-angle camera, offering an aperture of f/1.8 instead of f/2.4, resulting in significantly better low-light photography.

Connectivity: Supporting Wifi 6E, 5G

According to a group of analysts, the iPhone 13 lineup may feature better WiFi on the motherboard. Analysts Blayne Curtis, Thomas O'Malley, and Tim Long of Barclays believe that the iPhone 13 series will support WiFi 6E. So, what is WiFi 6E?

For those who are unaware, Wi-Fi 6E is similar to the WiFi 6 standard in that it provides better performance, faster data speeds, and lower latency. This means that it extends into the 6 GHz band.

The iPhone 12 Series is the first line of iPhones equipped with 5G technology by Apple. This marks a major milestone ushering in a new era of speed and future technology. It suggests that you may experience both higher technology and access speeds by skipping the iPhone 12 and waiting for the iPhone 13.

Faster Wireless Reverse Charging

According to information from the FCC, the iPhone 13 this year still supports faster wireless reverse charging. Documents from the FCC indicate that this year's new generation iPhone is compatible with Qi charging standards and also supports charging at 360 kHz, which means it can wirelessly charge other accessories.

Storage Capacity up to 1 TB

If you're someone with high storage needs for work and want more than 512 GB of internal memory in your next iPhone, then consider waiting for this latest iPhone lineup.

According to the latest report, Apple may introduce a 1 TB storage variant for the iPhone 13 Pro later this year. This is double the storage capacity compared to the highest internal memory model in the current iPhone 12 lineup.
