Just like the iPhone 12 lineup, a lidar scanner could only be for the iPhone 13’s Pro and Pro Max version.<\/p>\n

The latest iPhone secrets bring some disappointment as Apple’s new smartphone, said to be called the “iPhone 13,”<\/a><\/span>may only have a lidar scanner<\/span>\u00a0for the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, according to leaker Dylan<\/a> on Twitter. The rumor follows previous speculation that the entirety of the iPhone 13 lineup would have the scanner. If the rumor rings true, this would be the second generation to only house a lidar scanner in its Pro models. iPhone 13 gossip also came from an\u00a0Apple Insider video<\/a>\u00a0that showed dummy units of the iPhone 13 lineup based on what they said to be “the most recent schematics.” Their video was in line with previous speculation about the upcoming iPhone’s overall design. They even pointed out the iPhone 13’s earpiece notch could be smaller than the iPhone 12’s and be shifted to the top of the phone’s bezel.<\/p>\n

We’ve also heard that the iPhone 13 lineup will feature four phones, the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, as reported earlier by\u00a0analyst Ming-Chi Kuo<\/a>. This lineup matches the four iPhone 12 models<\/span> from last year. But that’s not all that’s staying the same: The iPhone 13 price<\/a><\/span> and design<\/a><\/span>\u00a0might be very familiar as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We’ve collected these rumors and everything else we’ve heard below, including speculation about the iPhone 13’s release date<\/a><\/span> (rumors say September, as usual), how the iPhone 13 might compare to the iPhone 12<\/a><\/span>, and everything we know about the iPhone 13’s price<\/a><\/span>, cameras<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and other specs. (And don’t miss our iPhone 13 wish list<\/a><\/span>.) We have a few more months of speculation before Apple unveils its next flagship, so buckle up and read on. We’ll update this story as new information becomes available. <\/p>\n

Battery: Larger capacity doesn’t mean iPhone 13 will have a longer battery life<\/h2>\n

A rumor from Chinese social media platform Weibo in early June suggested that the\u00a0iPhone 13 lineup will feature larger batteries<\/a> than the iPhone 12 lineup. The specs,\u00a0shared on Twitter by leaker @L0vetodream<\/a>, claim a 2,406-mAh battery for the iPhone 13 Mini, going up to 3,095 mAh for the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro, and 4,325 mAh for the iPhone 13 Pro Max.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These battery sizes are all\u00a0upgrades over the iPhone 12’s<\/a><\/span> respective capacities (though Apple doesn’t disclose official battery specs). However, battery life is not the same as battery capacity, so it’s possible that the increase in iPhone 13’s battery size will not translate into a longer battery life. That all depends on the phone’s other upgrades and how well its software optimizes for battery life. But compared with other brands’ premium phones, Apple’s batteries fall short. The batteries in\u00a0Samsung’s Galaxy S21 lineup<\/span>, for example, range from 4,000 to 5,000 mAh.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When it comes to charging its battery, the iPhone 13 could have some new tricks up its sleeve with faster wireless charging and possible reverse charging capabilities<\/span>, according to a video from EverythingApplePro on YouTube via leaker\u00a0Max Weinbach<\/a>. Reverse charging is a feature that allows you to charge other Qi devices on the back of your phone. Weinbach speculates the upcoming iPhone 13 will have this feature due to a bigger wireless charging coil and a stronger set of magnets housed in the back of the phone. Many of the iPhone’s competitors including the Samsung Galaxy S21<\/span>,\u00a0Samsung Galaxy S20<\/span>, the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra<\/span> and the OnePlus 8 Pro<\/a>\u00a0already have reverse wireless charging. But, Apple has yet to introduce the feature to its iPhones.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\tRelease date: iPhone 13 should be here by mid-September <\/h2>\n

So far, there’s no official or unofficial word on when we can expect to see Apple’s next iPhone. An April report suggested the manufacturing of the iPhones’ new chips were running ahead of schedule<\/a>, putting the iPhone 13 release date back on Apple’s pre-pandemic timeline. Usually, we can predict with some degree of accuracy when Apple’s iPhone events will occur<\/span> and extrapolate a release date based on that.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

But 2020 was a different story — it was the first September Apple event in eight years without an iPhone<\/span> — thanks to delays in production due to the coronavirus pandemic<\/span>. This year, however, Kuo is also forecasting business as usual for Apple’s supply chain. If that’s the case, we can expect to see the iPhone 13 unveiled at an event sometime in September<\/span>. <\/p>\n
