iPhones with USB Type-C connections?

• Apple will eventually transition to USB Type-C connections for its devices, abandoning its proprietary lightning ports.

• Because iPhones no longer come with a charger, consumers who purchase an iPhone with a Type-C connector will save money.
• They will no longer need to buy a charger from Apple.

Displays across segments have been improved

• Smartphone manufacturers are anticipated to enhance the screens used in cheap and luxury handsets.
• Smartphones priced under INR 20,000 are projected to include OLED panels rather than the more popular LCD and AMOLED displays.

Camera upgrades

• Another area where smartphones are predicted to improve in 2023 is cameras.
• While cameras have advanced significantly in recent years, smartphone manufacturers continue to innovate with new software and hardware capabilities every year.
• According to rumours, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will include a periscope camera to increase the focal length for optical zoom photos.

Goodbye, physical buttons

Apple may abandon physical buttons on upcoming iPhones in addition to the lightning connector. According to a source, the Cupertino tech behemoth will adopt solid-state buttons on its forthcoming iPhone 15 series.

This essentially implies that the power and volume buttons will not move, and the device will employ a taptic engine to generate haptic input when the user touches the button.
