Apple is expected to stick with a 4-phone lineup this year, offering the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max. The biggest expected upgrades to the iPhone 13 series are expected in the screen and camera departments.
Multiple models in the lineup could get 120Hz high refresh rate LTPO displays. And while the iconic iPhone notch is still expected to be present, it could get smaller as Apple switches to using smaller components for FaceID.
On the camera front, all models are expected to benefit from an upgrade to the ultra-wide camera, which could get the ability to autofocus, letting it also act as a macro camera. The camera will also get the ability to shoot portrait mode in video, and be able to record in Apple’s high-quality ProRes video format.
