Due to the impact of the global health crisis on suppliers, Apple launched the iPhone 12 series in October instead of the normal September. The current supply chain impact has eased. Apple is expected to return to the release of the iPhone 13 in September 2021. This is because TSMC is now believed to start mass shipments of new chips ahead of schedule, which now seems to be the case.
Improving the performance and power efficiency of the A15 will be one of the many rumored features of the iPhone that will be launched in 2021.
Current information indicates that Apple will make some changes to the upcoming iPhone, one of which is to move the handset to the top frame to achieve a smaller notch.
It is expected that Apple will at least add ProMotion 120Hz and area always-on screen functions to some iPhone 13 models. Other features include a rumored new matte black option, improved anti-fingerprint performance on the stainless steel edge, and a possible in-screen fingerprint sensor.
