  • New iPhone 13 Pro black color and camera features leaked

    New iPhone 13 Pro black color and camera features leaked

    The rumor: A batch of new iPhone 13 rumors have been shared by Max Weinbach (69.1% accurate, via EverythingApplePro)

    • The updated color for Pro models is apparently closest to hex code 121212, which will be a darker version of the current Graphite
    • A new electronic stabilization system known as “warp” may involve subject tracking and would be available across all resolutions and frame rates

    Our take: Two small tidbits from this latest info drop, but the new black seems like it will actually be black. Giving me iPhone 5 slate vibes.

  • New renders provide closest look yet at iPhone 13 design

    New renders provide closest look yet at iPhone 13 design

    The images: New images from Ian Zelbo show us our closest look yet at the final design for iPhone 13.

    • The renders, based on the final CAD provided by Jon Prosser, show a new criss-cross camera layout on the rear of the iPhone and a smaller notch on the front
    • A new orange/bronze color has also been rumored and can we seen in the images below

    Our take: I like the new color, but I’ll definitely miss Pacific Blue if it ends up going away. New camera layout on iPhone 13 looks nice, though!

  • iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro CAD files leaked…and you can download them

    iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro CAD files leaked…and you can download them

    The leak: The official iPhone 13 and 13 Pro CAD files have been leaked and made available for download by Jon Prosser (78.1% accurate).

    • The new devices are apparently a bit thicker to accommodate new, larger battery capacities
    • A redesigned camera setup can be seen on the regular iPhone 13, with a larger camera system on iPhone 13 Pro

    Our take: Well this is a first: downloadable CAD images of the iPhone 13 (download) and iPhone 13 Pro (download) months ahead of launch. Pretty crazy that these are just out there for anyone to see now as they are traditionally very locked down.

  • iPhone 13 may feature significantly larger batteries according to new rumor

    iPhone 13 may feature significantly larger batteries according to new rumor

    The rumor: Apple’s battery sizes could increase significantly on iPhone 13, according to a new Weibo rumor spotted by L0vetodream (88% accurate).

    Here’s how the battery capacities could be changing:

    • iPhone 13 mini – 2,406mAh (7.4% increase)
    • iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro – 3,095mAh (9% increase)
    • iPhone 13 Pro Max – 4,352mAh (15.3% increase)

    Our take: Solid increases across the board here, if the rumor is true. We’ve heard previously that batteries were getting bigger, but these are our first specifics. Pro Max gets the largest increase, of course.

  • Video shows first look at iPhone 13 Pro Max model

    Video shows first look at iPhone 13 Pro Max model

    The leak: Our first proper hands-on look at the iPhone 13 Pro Max has been shared on YouTube by Unbox Therapy.

    • A smaller notch with a relocated speaker can be seen on the front of the upcoming iPhone 13 Pro Max
    • The camera module is also a bit larger year-over-year when compared to last year’s iPhone 12 Pro Max

    Our take: This is one of the most realistic-looking iPhone models that I’ve ever seen. Props to Lew for doing a solid job of showing the device off. Looks pretty similar to iPhone 12 Pro Max overall, though.

  • iPhone 13 may bring mmWave 5G to more countries

    iPhone 13 may bring mmWave 5G to more countries

    The rumor: Apple is planning to expand the fastest 5G to more countries on iPhone 13, according to Ming-Chi Kuo (75% accurate).

    • In a new research note we obtained, Kuo says that mmWave 5G is expanding to more countries on the 2021 iPhones
    • mmWave is the fastest kind of 5G that allows for speeds of over a gigabit/s

    Our take: Living in the US, I forget that only US iPhone 12 models support mmWave currently. While I don’t get why this wasn’t released everywhere in 2020…I’m glad to hear that it’s expanding on the 2021 iPhones.

  • New video shows hands-on look at iPhone 13 mini & iPhone 13 Pro Max models

    New video shows hands-on look at iPhone 13 mini & iPhone 13 Pro Max models

    The leak: The first hands-on look at some iPhone 13 models has been shared by EverythingApplePro.

    • The embedded video below shows EAP going hands-on with 3D-printed CAD models for iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13 Pro Max
    • The notable changes year-over-year? Larger camera modules that protrude more, a new camera layout on the mini, and small changes to button locations on the side of the devices

    Our take: These CAD leaks seem be on-par with the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro leaks from earlier this week. Seeing this hands-on really shows how big the new camera setups will be…

  • First look at iPhone 13 design shows new camera setup and smaller notch

    First look at iPhone 13 design shows new camera setup and smaller notch

    The leak: Apple’s 5.4 and 6.1-inch iPhone models in 2021 will make a number of changes to the iPhone 12 design, according to MySmartPrice (100% accurate for 4 rumors).

    • After years of stagnation, the notch is finally shrinking horizontally…and MySmartPrice speculates that there could be two front-facing cameras
    • On the rear cameras, Apple has adopted a new pattern for the dual-camera setup: but there’s no LiDAR sensor as some sources rumored
    • The dimensions of the iPhone 13 will be identical to iPhone 12: 146.7×71.5×7.6mm

    Our take: I don’t buy the dual front-facing cameras that is speculated in this piece, but I do dig the new camera look on the back. It’s a subtle change but it really makes the design look fresh, even though it’s just a minor revision to iPhone 12.

  • New images show iPhone 13 Pro dummy unit with smaller notch

    New images show iPhone 13 Pro dummy unit with smaller notch

    The leak: New images of an iPhone 13 dummy unit show design changes in the notch, provided by Macotakara (68.6% accurate).

    • The updated notch is thinner, with the speaker relocated to the upper portion of the bezel
    • Almost all other parts of the 2021 dummy iPhone appear to look identical to last year’s iPhone 12 Pro

    Our take: This is the first real-life image we’ve seen of the potential notch design for 2021, and I think it looks great! I really hope we see this instead of the other design Apple is testing.

  • iPhone 13 may get new orange and matte black colors, upgraded Portrait Mode & more

    iPhone 13 may get new orange and matte black colors, upgraded Portrait Mode & more

    The rumors: Apple is working on better cameras and upgraded colors for the 2021 iPhones, according to Max Weinbach (67.1% accurate, via EAP).

    • Tweaked camera module: The lenses will protrude less but will still individually stick out, and the overall bump depth could be reduced
      • Front-facing camera microphone getting improved noise cancellation and and “clearer-audio”
      • Better optical image stabilization
      • Upgraded Portrait Mode with better edge detection
    • New colors: Apple is reportedly tweaking Space Gray to look closer to black and a new orange/bronze color is also in testing
    • Stainless steel edges on Pro models may be more fingerprint resistant

    Our take: The new orange color could look pretty cool…it’s certainly something we’ve never seen on iPhone before. Overall though, these rumors broadly speak to this absolutely being an ‘S year.’

  • iPhone 13 display glass shows new notch design

    iPhone 13 display glass shows new notch design

    The leak: We have our first images of the new notch design for the 2021 iPhones, according to MacRumors (71.9% accurate).

    • The photos, from repair company iRepair, show a skinnier notch for the first time
    • Apple will seemingly shift the earpiece up to the top of the bezel, as shown in schematics that initially surfaced last year

    Our take: Although more recent rumors have suggested Apple would go with a different design (same width but shorter), it seems plausible that this notch design could also ship later this year. I actually like this design the best, and it looks great in these images.
