Last year, Apple launched the iPhone 12 series smartphones a bit later than its usual timeline because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, the Cupertino-based technology giant is expected to stick to its schedule for the iPhone 13 series.
While the company has not yet announced the launch date for the next generation of the Apple iPhone series, rumors indicate that the devices could be launched in the third week of September. But a new report now claims that Apple is set to launch the iPhone 13 series smartphones on 14th September.
If that is indeed true, then the Tim Cook-led company could soon announce its launch event, probably in the next few days. Along with the next-generation iPhone, the company will also be launching the Apple Watch Series 7 models at the same event.
The report further adds that after getting announced on 14th September, the smartphone will be available for purchase from 24th September. This time, Apple will be selling four models at the same time — iPhone 13, 13 Mini, 13 Pro, and 13 Pro Max.
A recent report claimed that Apple is likely to increase the price of the upcoming iPhone 13 series models due to the price hike in components. Recently, TSMC confirmed that it will be increasing its pricing by up to 20 percent. However, the majority of the reports indicate that the pricing of the iPhone 13 models is likely to be the same as the iPhone 12 models.
Foxconn, one of the largest suppliers and contract manufacturers for Apple, has reportedly started fast-track recruitment for 200,000 members and is aiming to fill the vacancy by the end of September 2021. Notably, the large facility can house as many as 350,000 assembly line workers and produce up to 500,000 smartphones a day.
The Apple iPhone 13 lineup is expected to come with a slightly smaller notch and a 120Hz refresh rate in the Pro variants. It is also being reiterated that the company will also be offering a 1TB internal storage model this time.
It is also claimed to have support for mmWave 5G for countries outside of the United States. The phones are said to come with space-saving internal circuitry, which should allow the company to offer a larger battery inside the device.
The new iPhones will come with support for 25W fast charging technology, a slight upgrade from the current 22W charging. It is also expected to come with a LiDAR scanner. The upcoming flagship smartphone series from Apple will come with notable hardware upgrades. It points out to a faster and more power-efficient A15 Bionic chipset manufactured using TSMC’s 5nm+ process.
