At the Time Flies event in September, Apple only unveiled new tablets (iPad Air 4th Generation & iPad 8th Generation) and smartwatches (Apple Watch Series 6 & Apple Watch SE). The Cupertino-based tech giant is yet to announce the iPhone 12 series. In fact, the company is yet to even reveal the date for its launch event. Ahead of it, a massive report on iPhone 13 and iPhone SE 3 has come up.
The information about the upcoming iPhone 13 and iPhone SE 3 was shared by Ross Young of DSCC (Display Supply Chain Consultants) on Twitter. These details come from his company as well as Mizuho Securities.
Apple iPhone 13 Specifications
According to Ross’s tweets and a shared image, the iPhone 13 models will come with same-sized displays like the iPhone 12 devices. Also, all four phones in the forthcoming series will have integrated touch (Y-Octa) panels. The exact sizes of their panels are as listed below.
- iPhone 13 – 5.42-inch
- iPhone 13 – 6.06-inch
- iPhone 13 Pro – 6.06-inch
- iPhone 13 Pro Max – 6.67-inch
Though all the models will have OLED panels, their suppliers will be different. For instance, SDC (Samsung Display Co., Ltd.) will be supplying panels for Pro Max as well as the smaller model, which could be called as Mini.
Whereas, LGD (LG Display) will be providing panels for all the models except the top variant. Lastly, BOE will be supplying panels for the Pro and standard iPhone 13.

Further, all of them will come with ProMotion technology (high refresh rate) but only the Pro Max model will feature LTPO for variable refresh rate like the Galaxy Note20 Ultra.
As for cameras, the regular iPhone 13 models (5.4”/6.1”) will come equipped with a dual-camera setup. The 1.7µm primary sensor on these devices will be the same one that will be debuting in iPhone 12 Pro Max.
On the other hand, the two Pro models will be featuring a triple camera setup with an upgraded 1.9µm primary senor with SensorShift. These iPhones will also have ToF camera.
Lastly, all the four iPhone 13 series handsets will come with Face ID and therefore, we can also expect them to feature notch once again. Also, although all of them will be 5G-ready, only the Pro models will have support for mmWave.
Apple iPhone SE 3 Specifications
Apart from iPhone 13, the specs of iPhone SE 3 has also emerged. According to the report, this phone will be releasing in Spring 2022 and not next year. It will sport a larger 6.06-inch in-cell LCD panel supplied by either Sharp or JDI, compared to the smaller 4.7-inch screen on the current-gen model.
Further, it will arrive with the same dual-camera setup as found on the iPhone 11. That means it will feature a 1.4µm primary sensor. Since it will be launching almost after one and a half years, it will include support for 5G but only sub-6GHz like the regular iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 models.
Most interestingly, it will come equipped with Touch ID (fingerprint sensor). We expect it to be either side or top mounted like the new iPad Air. Above all, it could be the first Apple iPhone with a full-screen display without a notch (speculation from our end).
