Leaker John Prosser gave us an estimate of the iPhone 13 series announcement event date, reservation start date, and release date. Local time is September 14, September 17, and September 24, respectively.
The Industry and Commerce Bulletin predicts that if the event is held on September 14, guidance to the press will be given on September 7.
In addition, it is speculated that the price of the iPhone 13 series may be higher than that of the iPhone 12 series due to the impact of TSMC raising the wholesale price of semiconductors.
Chinese media MyDrivers has provided expectations regarding the body color of the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13. There is a possibility that cool colors will be reduced in both models.
Apple is testing a new Face ID that can be worn with a mask by combining a prototype case with the iPhone 12, Prosser said. One of the features of the new Face ID is that the front camera layout has been changed from right to left.
Svetapple.sk reports that the iPhone 13 series front camera has been repositioned from right to left, in line with the new Face ID reported by Prosser.
Mr. Prosser reported that the test of the new Face ID is surely done using the iPhone 13 series, so it is important to see if it will be introduced in the actual machine.
