What will the iPhone 13 Pro be like: Final design

Tags: smartphones

If you are interested in the final iPhone 13 designlook no further than this newest leak. Just don't expect anything more exciting.

The render images you see on this page purportedly show the final design of the iPhone 13 Pro. There is a small chance of changes between this design and the retail version, according to the creators, but they say it's unlikely any changes will be particularly large.

You can thank Vova LD for the images themselves. Details from LeaksApplePro, a leaker that has sometimes proven to be reliable and sometimes not… However, these images seem to align with previous iPhone 13 rumors and leaks.

The iPhone 12 design changes for the iPhone 13 aren't huge. The notch is now much smaller than before, the camera bump is larger but flatter, and the stainless steel side rails are now machined to make them more fingerprint-resistant, a very noticeable issue on the iPhone 12.

The only internal change mentioned is an increase in the size of the rear camera sensors. This, combined with significantly larger lenses, should produce brighter photos even without night mode turned on. The Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max is already our #1 pick for the best camera phones, and it looks like the next iPhone will continue that success.

All in all, it's a modest set of changes that supports the idea that this year's iPhone will be more like the iPhone 12S. But those aren't the only rumors we've heard.

Aside from the changes seen in these renders, we're also hoping for 120Hz ProMotion displays with adaptive refresh rates, under-display Touch ID on at least some models, and a more powerful A15 Bionic chip. You can also look forward to a faster and more powerful 5G modem.

Additionally, the iPhone 13 will run iOS 15, which we'll learn more about at Apple's WWDC 21 event next month.
