Apple released the new iPhone 12 models ten months ago. The iPhone 12 Pro Max was the most impressive model, but it took a lot longer. We are now closer to the next iPhone release. We are starting to see how the phone will compare to Apple’s current lineup, thanks to all the rumors. If you need a new phone, it is evident that any one of the iPhone 12 models is worth considering. Apple offers the best, with 5G support.
We can still be excited about the iPhone 13 before its release. Some rumors about the new phone suggest features that we may have seen with the iPhone 12. These features, along with some design improvements, could make the iPhone 13 an improvement on Apple’s existing phones. This is how the iPhone 13 vs. iPhone 12 faceoff looks now. The iPhone 13 is still in the rumor stage. Also, read http://pczippo.com/blog/tech/iphone-13-what-to-expect-will-apple-remove-the-lightning-port/.
iPhone 13 vs. iPhone 12 – Price and Release Date
We expect the iPhone 13 to come in three models: the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13 Pro. This is based on the statements made by Ming-Chi Kuo, an Apple analyst (via Rumors), earlier this year. We wouldn’t be surprised if Apple pulled out of plans for the iPhone 13 miniature, given the low sales of the iPhone 12 micro.
As the iPhone 12 mini is currently the smallest phone, we hope so, and Apple seems to be inclined to keep a miniature model in its lineup. According to rumors, the iPhone 13 will be an incremental upgrade to the iPhone 12. We don’t expect any major price changes.
The iPhone 13 mini would be priced at $699 (64GB), iPhone 13 Pro would be at $999 (64GB), iPhone 13 Pro Max would be at $1,099 (128GB), iPhone 13 Pro Max would cost at $1,099 (128GB), iPhone 13 Pro Max would be at $11,099 (128GB), iPhone 13 Pro Max would cost at $1.099 (128GB).
Apple could increase the base storage of the iPhone 13 mini or iPhone 13 — and we hope Apple does — we may see a slight rise in the starting price for these phones, possibly $749 or $849. This is speculation. The Pro models may have a ridiculous 1TB storage option.
iPhone 13 vs. iPhone 12 – Design and display
Apple introduced OLED displays to all four iPhone 12 series models. OLED displays offer true blacks and more vibrant colors, which is a welcome improvement. We like the display on the 12 series, but Apple has room for improvement with its Super Retina XDR OLED panels.
The iPhone 12 screens are not as sharply contrasted with the Galaxy S21 models, which feature excellent Super Dynamic LED displays. All iPhone 12 models lock at 60 frames per second (FPS), which is 60Hz. Rumors suggest the iPhone 13 Pro series will have a 120Hz refresh rate. This would result in smoother scrolling and better gameplay.
OLED panels have the advantage of allowing individual pixels to be disabled. This is how OLED panels produce deep, dark blacks. You can get the “Always On Display” feature on most Android phones with OLED displays. This mode displays some critical information and is low-power. Although it varies from phone to phone, most phones show the clock and pending notification. Rumors claim that the iPhone 13 will get its always-on display.
A leaker has claimed that Apple will reduce the notorious notch at the top of the display housing Face ID tech. The notch is very unsightly, and this would be a welcome change. Leaked renders, and dummy units suggest that the notch will shrink across all 4 iPhone 13 models.
Apple could change the iPhone 13’s colors as usual. The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini are currently available in five colors: blue, green, and white. According to one rumor, the iPhone 13 could come in bright pink.
iPhone 13 vs. iPhone12 Cameras
The iPhone 12 Pro Max Max and 12 Pro currently use three lenses: an ultrawide 12MP lens f/1.6, a wide-angle 12MP lens f/2,4, and a 12MP Telephoto lens f/2.0 aperture (2x zoom for the 12 Pro Max, 2.5x zoom for the 12 Pro Max). The telephoto lens and the LiDAR time of flight sensor are absent from the iPhone 12 and 12 mini.
According to rumors, the iPhone 13 will have a periscope camera that can zoom in better than the Galaxy S21 UHT0_’s incredible zoom capabilities. Apple may upgrade the ultrawide camera’s aperture to an f/1.8 aperture, with autofocus, instead of the f/2.4 aperture and fixed focal on the 12 series.
Rumors suggest that Apple will put the LiDAR sensor in all four models, not just the Pro. Night Mode may see enhancements, particularly on the ultrawide camera. The iPhone 13 could also have a portrait mode for video and an astrophotography option for night sky photography.
In April, the iPad Pro 2021 added a Center Stage feature. This allows the lens to follow you while you capture video, such as when you are at a video conference. Although it’s not clear if this feature will be available on any iPhone 13 models, it would certainly be welcome.
iPhone 13 vs. iPhone 12 – Touch ID in the Display
Touch ID might be back on the iPhone 13 (it was also last seen on the iPhone 8 Series, but it’s not a flagship phone and uses the iPhone 8 body). Apple has been pushing Face ID since the iPhone X. But it may add Touch ID to iPhone 13. Face ID is useless in public, especially when we live in a pandemic world that still uses masks.
Apple could use an in-display fingerprint scanner like the Samsung Galaxy S21. The S21’s ultrasonic sensor was very accurate and reliable in our testing. Apple has placed a Touch ID sensor inside the power button of the latest iPad Air. This is a standard route used by some Android phones and can be pretty effective. It also feels very natural.
However, the iPhone 13 will have both Touch ID and Face ID. This would allow you to use Apple Pay and public face unlocking.
iPhone 13 vs. iPhone 12 – Lightning or portless
Rumors that Apple may drop the Lightning port for the iPhone 13 have been floating around for some time now, particularly after introducing the MagSafe wireless charger on the iPhone 12 series. Apple loves to change things up, even though few people want it. Although USB-C is preferred, it may not happen.
An Apple leaker, stated that one of his sources had mentioned that the iPhone 13 model would not be portable. He believes that the Pro models may be portless due to language barriers. Ming-Chi Kuo, via Rumors, suggested at one time that only the iPhone 13 Pro Max would be portless.
iPhone 13 vs. iPhone 12 – New processor
This is not a radical statement, as a new iPhone will always bring a brand new processor. The A14 Bionic chip that powers the iPhone 12 will likely be replaced by an A15 Bionic processor.
The A14-powered phones performed better than any Android device, even those powered by the Snapdragon 808.
This will be a challenge for any new iPhone. Even though it is an incremental upgrade of the A14, the A15 could still be up to the challenge. The new chip will be built on the same 5-nanometer process mode as the A14 Bionic. We don’t expect a switch to a 4-nanometer chip until 2022.
Outlook: iPhone 13 vs. iPhone 12
Although nothing is yet sure about the iPhone 13, Prosser and Kuo have good records in making predictions. Although we won’t see anything in an official capacity for several more months, more rumors will likely be circulating. There could also be more leaks due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is an excellent decision to buy an iPhone 12 now, as we have already mentioned. The waiting game can go on forever, and you’ll have to wait for the next great thing.
