Apple iPhone 13 Live Launch: Features and Specifications

Apple is all set to reveal the new generation of iPhones to the world. The previous generation, iPhone 12, created a lot of hype among the consumers and a refreshed design and features make consumers look forward to the upcoming phone. There have been months full of image and spec leaks. Leaks where the conversation ranges from high refresh rate screens to more software features. It will be interesting to see what Apple brings with their phones this time.

However, it's not all about the phones. Sure the phones are going to be the highlight of the launch but there are watches and AirPods lined up for the launch too. The Apple Watch Series 7 along with the AirPods Series 3 are anticipated to make their entrance into the market with this event. Users and experts all around the world are also excited about the supposed launch of iOS 15. This would mark a complete hardware and software revamp by the company.

What Do We Know So Far?

Several leaks have indicated that the iPhone 13 is going to be powered by the A15 Bionic chip, which will make it the "best smartphone Apple has ever made." Since cameras and optics have been the selling point for the company, it is probable that they won't mess it up. The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini are supposed to come with a dual-camera setup with a hardware revamp in the module where the cameras will be diagonal to each other.

The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max will have an ultrawide camera, with better optics. The sensor-shift that was seen in previous year’s iPhone 12 Pro Max might be seen in iPhone 13 pro too, along with 13 pro max.

The size of the notch might be reduced to increase the screen real-estate. However, the best and the most anticipating leak comes regarding the display. The display can be a high refresh rate 120Hz screen. If Apple managed to incorporate this in their design, it will finally get ino the league of high-performance and well-rounded flagship phones.
