For the first time with the iPhone 12 series, Apple launched 4 models flagship iPhones — a regular iPhone 12, two iPhone 12 Pro models and an iPhone 12 Mini. According to popular analyst Ming Chi-Kuo, Apple will continue this strategy with the iPhone 13 series for the next year too.
Similar to this year, the iPhone 13 series
is expected to have 4 models and 3 sizes — two 6.1-inch iPhones, a 6.7-inch and
a 5.4-inch. What will change is the camera system, which Ming Chi-Kuo claims
will be improved massively. The ultra-wide cameras on the Pro series will be
upgraded to an f/1.8, 6P (six-element lens) with autofocus, which is a huge
improvement compared to the f/2.4, 5P
Ultra Wide cameras on the current iPhone 12 Pro models.
Kuo also extended his predictions to the
2022 iPhones, claiming that the ultra-wide cameras will use a similar f/1.8, 6P
and autofocus system. The supply chains issues that plagued Apple this year is
also expected to be resolved next year, and with a better 5G infrastructure,
Kuo claims that the iPhone will see a good YoY growth next year and a return to
the regular September release cycle.
