Apple's new line of smartphones is expected to have four models, all with Qualcomm's Snapdragon X60 modems, ensuring support for 5G networks. The screens will be bigger with a smaller notch for the front camera.
In October of last year, Apple revealed the new iPhone 12 to the world but, as usual, rumors are circulating about the successors and their next line of smartphones from the Apple brand. Now the well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo makes his predictions regarding the iPhone 13 known.
In a note to the international press, Ming-Chi Kuo begins by indicating that, similarly to what happened last year, the family of new smartphones will consist of four models. Both Pro versions may have screens with refresh rates of 120 Hz.
There is also "more screen" since all models of the new line will have a notch (space at the top of the screen for the camera and sensors) with smaller dimensions than usual. Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that Apple will adopt screens with a punch hole (a hole only for the camera lens) in 2022. In 2023, the Cupertino giant will be able to bet on the creation of screens without any type of notch or punch hole, with the front camera located below the display, advances the 9to5Mac website.
Inside, the new iPhone 13 should use Qualcomm's Snapdragon X60 modems, ensuring support for 5G networks. In addition, according to the MacRumors website, smartphones will have batteries with larger dimensions than the previous generation, as well as support for Lightning technology.
The analyst's predictions also indicate that there is a possibility for Apple to launch a new iPhone SE in 2022. The model will have a similar design to the smartphone launched last year but will include a faster processor, as well as support for 5G.
In addition to the iPhone 13, which could be unveiled this year, Ming-Chi Kuo also revealed that Apple is considering launching its first foldable smartphone in 2023 . For now, it remains to be seen with which manufacturer Apple will work to produce the foldable screens for its new iPhone, but it is rumored that Samsung and LG will be part of a partnership.
Recall the evolution of the iPhone since its launch in 2007 in the gallery below.
January 9, 2007
The iPhone was described at the time as a kind of 3-in-1 device: “a larger-screen iPod with touch controls, a revolutionary mobile phone, and an innovative internet communications device”. The multi-touch screen and the application-based ecosystem were two of the great new features of the equipment.
June 9, 2008
The first version of the iPhone was revolutionary, but it left a lot of room to evolve. In the second model launched to the market, Apple decided to include support for 3G networks and point-by-point navigation thanks to the built-in GPS. It was the iPhone 3G.
June 8, 2009
More powerful processor - 600Mhz -, more RAM memory - 256MB -, more capable camera - 3.2MP - and the ability to download faster - up to 7.2Mbps - were some of the improvements imposed on the iPhone 3GS. He was also the first to be able to record video.
June 7, 2010
The iPhone 4 was the model that redefined the iPhone in relation to the competition and in relation to the position that the equipment would have in the market. The glass and metal construction raised the standards of smartphones considered as premium. The Retina display also raised the bar to resolution. Along with iOS 4, it brought features like FaceTime and multitasking capabilities. The launch of the mobile phone would be tainted by the "Antennagate" case.
October 4, 2011
The iPhone 4s represented an evolution rather than a revolution. This year's "successor" OS could also be the "Steve Jobs" S, as Apple's charismatic leader would eventually pass away the day after the new equipment was introduced. The mobile phone debuted a set of new services - such as iCloud and iMessage -, started the personal assistants' segment with Siri and brought hardware improvements, especially in terms of processing and photography.
September 12, 2012
By this time, competition for Apple mobile phones was already very fierce and capable. Apple was forced to respond to some trends and for the first time, an iPhone had a 4-inch screen, the iPhone 5.

The construction was also improved - it became aluminum -, as well as the connectivity: support for 4G networks and a new Lightning entry.
September 10, 2013
For the first time, Apple introduced two mobile phones at the same time. The iPhone 5c should have been low-cost according to all the information gathered by the press, but that never happened. The model was cheaper than the iPhone 5s, but the difference was mainly in the construction - in colored plastics - and in the fact that it kept the same specifications as the model of the previous generation. An alternative for the "younger" tastes.
September 10, 2013
There could be another more colorful and cheaper iPhone, but it was for the top of the range that the most eye-catching people had. Also with new shades - gold for example - the iPhone 5s debuted a fingerprint reader on Apple equipment and 64-bit processors on smartphones. With it came a new version of the operating system, iOS7, the one that marked the biggest visual revolution since the original launch in 2007.
September 9, 2014
After months and months of rumors, Apple ended up explaining the leaks. The iPhone has grown again, this time to 4.7 inches with the iPhone 6. The phone has also undergone a change in design, presenting more rounded shapes and referring to the original iPhone. Improved camera and a new processor - with a performance 20% higher than that of the iPhone 5s - were other novelties announced.
September 9, 2014
Apple repeated the strategy of the previous year and decided to introduce two new iPhone to the market. The Model 6 Plus has a 5.5-inch screen, to match up close with the high-end smartphones of Android and Windows Phone. In terms of characteristics, it is similar to the iPhone 6. The optical image stabilizer plays in your favor and the optimization that is done in iOS 8 for such a generous screen as well.

It was also the turn of the golden rose to reach Apple smartphones.

The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus stole the title of the most expensive ever model and brought several new features: the start button was redesigned and became sensitive to the touch, they are waterproof and dustproof and there was always a double lens camera - in Plus.
