Apple’s new iPhone, said to be called the iPhone 13<\/a><\/span>, is expected to get a few snazzy upgrades this fall. The highly anticipated smartphone<\/span> is rumored to feature a new design<\/a><\/span>, longer battery life, increased refresh rate, upped camera specs<\/a><\/span>, new color options (may be even\u00a0bubblegum pink<\/span>) and more. As we approach the iPhone 13’s possible release date<\/a><\/span>, speculation about the new iPhone continues to buzz. The latest gossip, from an August DigiTimes<\/a>, says that Apple is considering raising the price for the iPhone 13<\/a><\/span> to compensate for the increased price of chip production from supplier TSMC. It was previously said that the iPhone 13 would cost nearly the same as the iPhone 12. \u00a0<\/p>\n

It seems like hype for the new Apple smartphone continues to grow, as we inch closer and closer to the reveal of Apple’s new iPhone as well. According to a survey by SellCell,\u00a0reported on by MacRumors<\/a>, 44% of current iPhone users plan to upgrade to one of the iPhone 13 models when it becomes available.<\/p>\n

We’ve 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 predicted 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’s price<\/a><\/span> and design<\/a><\/span>\u00a0might be 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>\u00a0and everything we know about the iPhone 13’s price<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and other specs. (And don’t miss our iPhone 13 wish list<\/a><\/span>.) We have a few more weeks 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
