As we have already reported several times, Apple will most likely introduce four new iPhone models this year. But when exactly will the devices be announced? One analyst believes he knows the answer to this question.
It is still unclear whether Apple will actually introduce the new iPhone generation as the iPhone 13 or iPhone 12S. However, the fact is that the company wants to introduce a 5.4-inch device, two 6.1-inch models and a 6.7-inch iPhone. While two devices will be positioned as Pro versions, the other two will be presented as cheaper alternatives, like the iPhone 12 series. It's no secret that Apple usually announces its new iPhone generation in September. Depending on availability or new technologies, the company sometimes postpones the official sales launch to October. As a reminder, the iPhone 12 series was unveiled in October last year. The reason for this was delays in production caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic around the world. Be that as it may.
iPhone 13: Reports on LiDAR scanner and new storage option contradict each other
Loud Wedbush analyst According to Dan Ives, it is likely that Apple will unveil the iPhone 13 in the third week of September, probably on September 14th. Ives' statement confirms previous reports that Apple wants to return to the usual launch date this year. Ives also suggests that the iPhone 13 will include a new 1TB storage option and a LiDAR scanner in all models. However, these two points were recently denied by TrendForce. According to them, the LiDAR scanner will continue to be reserved for the Pro models. This was also shown by mockups published today by leaker Sonny Dickson provided A terabyte storage version is also unlikely this year, according to TrendForce. Since Wedbush analyst Dan Ives has a mixed track record, his statements should be viewed with some skepticism. Who will actually be right in the end remains to be seen, of course.
