Per noted leaker Max Weinbach on Tuesday, the following iPhone 13 details can be expected:
- No price rises for the iPhone 13 lineup.
- The iPhone 13 mini will offer approximately one additional hour of battery life.
- The iPhone 13 Pro Max will feature an 18 to 20 percent larger battery compared to the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
- Both the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro will continue to use the same battery components as last year, but offer batteries that are 10 percent larger.
- The battery life of the iPhone 13 Pro may be worse than the iPhone 13 due to the power consumption of the 120Hz-capable ProMotion display.
- The ProMotion displays of the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max will throttle to 60Hz when Low Power Mode is enabled.
- The iPhone 13 Pro Max will continue to offer exclusive features that the iPhone 13 Pro will not have.
- The camera sensors across all models will be able to receive at least 15 percent more light, with the biggest increase on the Ultra Wide camera’s sensor, with up to 40 percent more light.
- “Cinematic” portrait video mode will use an electronic image stabilization (EIS) known as “Warp.” This mode will attempt to keep the subject in the center of the frame, use optical image stabilization in a more “smooth” operating mode, and offer additional effects.
- Night Mode will recognize when stars are in the frame and adjust settings accordingly. A new algorithm analyses structures, resharpens, and adjusts shadows. The color science of Night Mode will also be “visibly” improved.
Per Weinbach, the third-generation AirPods will incorporate a charging case with a 20 percent larger battery compared to the second-generation AirPods, and will offer wireless charging as standard. The batteries inside each individual AirPod will also be around the same size as previous models. The sound quality is said to be largely the same as the second-generation AirPods, but with slightly improved bass and low-end.
Weinbach also noted that the Apple Watch Series 7 is expected to see the Apple Watch’s most significant improvement in battery life to date.
While Weinbach has a mixed to poor track record, he’s had some correct predictions, such as the iPhone 12 arriving in a new blue color option in 2020.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
