Apple’s iPhone 13 Pro Max ‘could be completely portless to give user a wireless experience’, expert predicts
APPLE'S next iPhone could have no headphone jack or lightning port at all and could have Touch ID underneath the phone sensor.
Apple is releasing the iPhone 13 this fall, and although the company hasn't given any information on the phone, there are plenty of rumors flying about what new features the phone will have.
Here are some of the new features that are rumored to show up in the phone, CNET has reported.
The iPhone 13 is not going to have a headphone jack like its earlier predecessors, but the Lightning Port may be removed as well.
MacRumors reports that the iPhone 13 PRo Max likely will not have a port at all, bringing a truly universal wireless experience.
Like its predecessor the iPhone 12, the iPhone 13 will come in four models: the iPhone 13, the iPhone 13 Mini, the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
They might be a bit thicker than the iPhone 12, but it's a small difference of 7.57mm up from 7.4mm.
That jump could be attributed to the camera bump, with the iPhone 13's camera bumping around 2.51mm, up from 1.5mm on the 12.
Speaking about cameras, the new camera might have a periscope camera to improve zoom, an improved ultrawide angle lens for night mode, and lidar tech on all models.
The 13 will be similar in price to the 12, but will have faster refresh rates than the previous phones.
While most phones refresh at 60 frames per second - 60Hz - the iPhone 13 is expected to have a refresh rate of 120Hz and even an always-on OLED display.
The higher the refresh rate, the faster the phone feels when scrolling online and through apps.
The new phone could also have Touch ID embedded under the screen instead of taking a separate button on the screen like older models.
This follows the 2020 iPad Air which had integrated a Touch ID onto its side.
