iPhone 13 cases confirm the big design changes to expect

With probably only weeks to get until Apple officially lifts the lid on its new iPhone xiii line of smartphones, we accept a fairly good idea of what to expect of the devices, both within and out.

At present a case leak from Svetapple.sk has put some exact measurements on the cosmetic changes y'all tin can expect to see next month.

At that place are three main changes to look out for. Firstly, while terminal twelvemonth's iPhone 12 was a bit skinnier than the iPhone 11, it looks like Apple will be reversing the trend ever then slightly with the 2021 Pro model. The iPhone 13 Pro will, according to the case leaks, be about 0.2mm thicker than its predecessor, allowing a fleck more space for battery, given the demands of the rumoured 120Hz screen.

Then there's the notch. A much critiqued design feature of flagship Apple handsets since the iPhone X, merely necessary cheers to the complex array of tech that makes up Face ID, it will apparently run across a minor simply meaning reduction for the new range of iPhones, dropping by nigh 25% on all models.

While one element shrinks, some other grows: the camera module is due to get larger on all models of iPhone 13, as you can see when an iPhone 12 is placed in an iPhone 13 case.

The regular iPhone thirteen camera will grow from 3.71cm to 3.9cm across the diagonal, while the Pro models will go from 3.98cm to four.5cm. Apple tree wouldn't increase the size of this without good reason, nonetheless, and information technology points to larger lenses.

Comparing the size of purported camera frame enclosures, the site reckons the rings will grow from ane.2cm to 1.41 on the regular and mini iPhones, and upward to 1.58cm on the Pro and Pro Max – a bound from 1.2cm and i.42cm respectively.

The site credits this to full general quality improvements and the introduction of Sensor Shift OIS technology across the board – something currently merely available on the iPhone 12 Pro Max.

As with all leaks, you should accept this with a compression of salt, but it'south worth noting this matches what we've heard elsewhere. In any instance, we should know everything about the iPhone xiii soon plenty – historically, Apple tree has shown us its new handsets in September, and there are just seven days left in August…
