With the news of Samsung not releasing the next generation of the Galaxy Note in the second half of 2021, what will the Apple iPhone 13 (or iPhone 2021) bring to entice users? Let's delve into the most anticipated features on the next generation of iPhones!
Screen with Higher Refresh Rate, like 120 Hz for instance
In fact, this isn't the first time users have complained about the display panels on iPhones.
Specifically, before Apple released the iPhone 12 series, there was plenty of evidence suggesting the company was developing ProMotion technology for this generation, but the end result was well-known by everyone!
However, perhaps with the iPhone 2021 generation, Apple can't overlook this technology due to its practical utility.
One indication of this is that OLED screens with LTPO technology will be Apple's main orders from Samsung in 2021, with the first batches already delivered to Apple.
So there will be at least 2 iPhone 2021 devices with 120 Hz screens, most likely the highest-end iPhone Pro and Pro Max models.
Changes in the camera department, more lenses or at least more impressive specs
Camera quality on the iPhone has never been a disappointment to users. However, the camera race on smartphones seems far from over, and whether Apple likes it or not, they should step up.
With the triple rear camera system + LiDAR sensor on the iPhone 12 Pro/Pro Max, quality is undeniable, but users demand more than just that!
A better zoom camera or a high-quality ultra-wide lens has never been redundant.
And the good news is that 'Apple oracle' Ming-Chi Kuo has said that the ultra-wide camera will be upgraded on this year's iPhone generation, but only on the iPhone Pro lineup.
iPhone adopting the Type-C port, the port of the future.
Currently, Apple's iDevices product lineup is gradually transitioning to Type-C connectors, from Mac Pro, Mac mini to various MacBooks, iPads,... The only exception is the iPhone, which still uses the traditional Lightning port.
This poses a challenge for iPhone users, causing inconvenience when connecting with other Apple devices, which goes against Apple's principle of seamless experience. Switching to Type-C, users hope the iPhone will have faster data transfer speeds, faster charging, and more convenience when using chargers across devices.
However, analyst Kuo has a different prediction, stating that there won't be any Type-C iPhones released this year due to its overly open, common standards and lesser water resistance compared to Lightning. According to him, Apple will steer the iPhone towards wireless connectivity in the future.
Dealing with the annoying 'notch'
Since the debut of the iPhone X, the 'notch' with FaceID has always been a headache for iPhone users. After 4 generations, it's time for the company to make a change with this 'feature'.
Hope the solution will be effective and provide a wider display space, or at least help users cope with this 'notch' cluster!
If there's already a 120 Hz display, why not equip it with Always on Display as well
AOD is not a widely used feature for the majority of users, but it's extremely useful for the rest.
Despite using OLED screens for nearly 4 years, it's puzzling why Apple hasn't brought this feature to iPhones until now. But recently, the company has introduced this feature to the Apple Watch, so it's very likely that the new generation of iPhones will also have it.
This isn't a hardware-dependent feature, so perhaps OLED iPhone models will 'inherit' it through an iOS update.
To sustain the aforementioned new features, a battery under 4,000 mAh won't suffice anymore
Despite outstanding standby battery life, with increasing demands nowadays, if Apple continues to maintain the current battery capacity, it will be difficult to meet them all.
According to recent reports, the battery capacity of the iPhone 2021 will increase to over 4,000 mAh. Specifically, the iPhone 13 Pro Max will have 4,352 mAh, the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 will have 3,095 mAh, and finally, the iPhone 13 mini will have 2,406 mAh. This will arguably be the most significant battery capacity increase to date.
Hoping that with a larger battery comes faster charging, perhaps exceeding the current 20W rate.
Lastly, let's hope Apple doesn't raise the price of the iPhone 2021!
Apple has consistently maintained prices ranging from $699 to $1,099 for new iPhone models. However, with the introduction of new features and value upgrades, it wouldn't be surprising if Apple announces a price increase for the iPhone 2021.
However, from the user's perspective, spending on a thousand-dollar smartphone is also a barrier, causing them to hesitate upgrading to the latest iPhone model.
Therefore, regardless, hoping Apple doesn't raise the price of the new iPhones, at least for the two default iPhone 13 models with lower prices.
Nevertheless, in my opinion, the price increase will focus on the iPhone Pro series, a product segment where users are willing to pay over $1,000 for a phone. For the standard iPhone lineup and older models, the company will maintain good prices, making them accessible to increase sales.
In Vietnam, with the trend of purchasing the highest-priced iPhones, Apple's strategy may be challenging to implement. However, hoping that distributors will offer the most reasonable prices given the current pandemic situation.
Above are perhaps the 7 things users desire Apple to bring or change on the next generation of iPhones, as for the release date of the iPhone 13, it still requires some more waiting.
