I believe that Apple fans who have been paying attention to Mingmei Infinity until now should all know that after the release of the iPhone 12 series last year, even though Apple brought a new design, It has a more powerful processor and rear lens, but some netizens still criticized it as a toothpaste-like product, and even shouted the slogan "Thirteen Spices". Thirteen spices were originally seasonings, but now they have one more. Layer meaning: iPhone 13 fragrant.
However, Apple is accustomed to naming iPhone versions with numbers ending in numbers (iPhone
The first is the naming of this year’s new iPhone. Although now “many media use the name “iPhone 13” when reporting this year’s new Apple models, it is actually just to facilitate readers’ understanding.” Before Apple released the new iPhone, The name of the machine is always unknown.
Speculating on the naming of the iPhone is an annual "reserved program" for media and industry insiders. Apple has its own naming system for the iPhone, but it sometimes makes adjustments. For example, suffixes such as "S", "Pro" and "Max" are not available for every generation of products. This year's iPhone coincides with the sensitive number "13". Will Apple still stick to this naming rule? Recently, there is news that Apple may skip the naming of "iPhone 13" and adopt the naming of "iPhone 12S". At the same time, next year's iPhone will not be named after "13" and will go directly to iPhone 14.
Secondly, this year’s iPhone 13 is expected to use new technology to reduce the size of the iPhone’s “bangs”, making the top display area larger and displaying more content. Although it does not completely eliminate bangs, reducing the size of bangs is also a good progress for fruit fans. At present, Apple has applied for a patent for under-screen technology, and it must be that a true full-screen iPhone is not far away.
In addition, Mingmei Infinity is worth mentioning today. Tianfeng International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that all four iPhone 13 models will use larger-capacity batteries, so the new models will also be larger than The iPhone 12 series is a bit heavier. Apple seems to be improving the battery life of the iPhone through the iPhone 13 series product line, adopting a series of design changes to bring larger batteries and improvements in efficiency.
It should be pointed out that the battery capacity of the iPhone 12 series has actually shrunk compared to the previous generation. Among them, iPhone 12 / 12 Pro / 12 Pro Max have reduced by 295 / 231 / 282 mAh respectively. However, thanks to improvements in efficiency, Apple has maintained the battery life of the iPhone 12 series at the same level.
In order to take into account reasonable size and comfortable feel, Apple must also steal space inside the mobile phone. For example, Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that Apple's next-generation iPhone 13 will integrate the SIM card slot with the motherboard and reduce the thickness of the front optical module. In addition, the main hardware specifications of the iPhone 13 series will be changed to smaller notches, and the screen will adopt more power-saving LTPO technology.
According to the current analysis, it has basically been shrunk as much as it can, just to fill up more batteries. Apple has really worked hard to improve battery life this time. The battery life of Apple iPhone 13 should be It's stable!
In addition, from the outside world, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13Pro Max will be equipped with high refresh screens that support 120hz variable refresh rate. In addition to providing high refresh rates of up to 120Hz when needed, high refresh screens You can also reduce the refresh rate when the screen changes less to improve battery life. In addition, the A15 chip may also provide some iterative efficiency improvements to enhance battery life.
Although Apple has used LPTO technology for high-refresh screens on the iPad a few years ago, there is no application for it on the iPhone. The most likely guess at present is that Apple is not using the iPhone because it is worried about battery life. There are also cases where it is because Apple wants to "take a long time to catch big fish" and chooses to slowly "squeeze out the toothpaste." But no matter what, the addition of high-refresh screens to this year’s iPhone 13 series will definitely improve the user experience. However, it is worth mentioning that high-refresh screens can only be used on Pro and ProMax.
By the way, the future development trend of iPhone rear cameras was mentioned in the investor report released by Tianfeng International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo this week. Ming-Chi Kuo believes that the new iPhone released in the second half of 2022 will adopt an integrated lens design, and the rear telephoto lens of the Pro model will be upgraded from 6P to 7P.
Ming-Chi Kuo believes that the iPhone’s integrated camera design will effectively save space inside the fuselage and improve durability.
Ming-Chi Kuo also mentioned in the report that the rear ultra-wide-angle lens of the two Pro models unveiled in the second half of 2021 will be upgraded to 6P. In addition, 8P lens modules will be widely adopted by mobile phone brands from the second half of 2022 to the first half of 2023. By 2023, the iPhone will also be upgraded to use a periscope telephoto lens.
The iPhone has never won by hardware parameters, but by optimization. While four cameras have already become mainstream among domestic manufacturers, iPhone 11 is equipped with three cameras for the first time, and iPhone 12 Pro Max adds a LIDAR radar laser scanning lens. The periscope lens may become the biggest upgrade to the iPhone camera in recent years.
Of course, for consumers, the iPhone can narrow the gap with Android flagships in terms of shooting. The most significant improvement is to improve the daily shooting experience. It’s worth looking forward to how the iPhone’s “telescope” performs.
In addition, there is news that the iPhone 13 will cancel the physical charging interface and will achieve wireless charging through MagSafe magnetic suction.
The most important point is that there are no holes in the fuselage. How to connect the iPhone to iTunes for flashing? It is said that Apple already has a solution for this, using magnetic suction. The approximate implementation method is to design a contact point at a fixed position on the iPhone body, and then exchange data through magnetic suction connection. Of course, this method Whether it is stable enough is also a question.
After all, data needs to be exchanged with Apple servers when flashing. At this time, the device connection must be kept as stable as possible. Otherwise, if the flash fails, you will have to start over. There is also the problem of data transmission speed, wireless It's definitely slower than wired, and everyone is curious about how Apple can speed it up.
