Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and these are the iphone 13 models
these are manufactured to give case manufacturers an idea of where the port placement is the overall
dimensions and size of the upcoming iphone and thanks to Sunny Dickson for helping
me get my hands on these and now i've looked at these for the past few years
and they do tend to be pretty close to what the final will look like so as you can see
here's the 12 pro max the the model unit here and it's a little bit different than what we had with
the final version and then again the 11 pro max so it gives us a general idea of overall size
but the camera module for example won't be perfect however it did show us a port that we weren't sure
about previously so on the 12 pro max for example we have the millimeter wave antenna
and it was a cut out on this model so it showed us an idea of what to expect and it was pretty close
now if we take a look here you'll see there's four different models this year as we would expect so
we have three different sizes four different models and apple could call this the 2021 iphone
the iphone 12s or the iphone 13. we'll just go with iphone 13 for now but as you can see again
we have a new mini size and there's some obvious differences here between the current one and what
we have with this model but the mini is said to be coming out for this year also and it may be the
last year that they manufacture it based on poor sales now that could just be a rumor at this point
or it could be true but either way we'll have it this year it seems and you'll see it looks
slightly different from the 12 mini that i have in my left hand so the camera module is the biggest
change so from a design perspective it looks basically the same but they made the cameras
diagonally from the top left to the bottom right and then moved the flash in the upper right and
the microphone to the bottom left this seems to make a lot of sense the last year's models were
very similar to what we had here with the camera layout and i do think the new model looks a little
bit better with that diagonal camera but maybe they're making room for some improved sensors as
we've heard that there's supposed to be sensor shift stabilization on at least the pro models
and maybe all models with enhancements to the cameras overall so that makes a lot of sense
now also you can see that the 13 gets the same sort of layout and then the 13 pro and pro max
have a larger camera module so this seems to be a little bit larger than what we expected on the
12 pro max or what we have you'll see it's actually significantly larger and again probably
due to that sensor shift stabilization that we expect in multiple cameras this year there's also
enhancements that are said to be coming to the ultra wide camera as well with auto focus and more
and maybe even larger sensors possibly even 8k for example now as you can see there's just one
color that i have here it's a white color but we do expect there to be very similar colors
where they would be glossy on the regular models with the pros having a matte finish now as far as
the colors overall well it's said that the pacific blue is going to be replaced with an orange color
now this may or may not be true but there's said to be an updated orange we got pacific
blue to replace the green of the previous year so i would expect some sort of replacement this year
i've heard orange i've heard purple as well but i think orange could be a pretty nice looking color
it just depends what color it is so we'll have to see what apple decides to do with that overall
now the design overall let's take a look at that around the outside edge as it seems to be pretty
similar but the screen is a little bit different now if we take a look on the edge we'll use the 12
pro max for comparison it's basically the same you have your silent switch in the same place
volume buttons in the same place almost the same place everything's just shifted up slightly and
then again sim card tray so the sim card tray is shifted up a little bit the volume buttons
maybe a little bit but everything else seems to be the same including the line for the antenna
on the bottom again it's the same where we would have our microphone lightning port and speaker
no move to usbc this year it seems again so we're sticking with lightning and then on the other side
this model does not have a cut out for millimeter wave although they're said to be enhancements
to 5g maybe they were able to incorporate that differently or maybe it's just not on the model
since it's not important to the case designs and then of course you have your power sleep
wake button but nothing there is different and that's true of all of these different models so
there's not really any change to the overall design on any of them whether it be the pro
or not however i did notice one thing i wanted to mention and that's the overall thickness the
thickness does seem to be a little bit different where the 13 model is ever so slightly thicker
than the 12 pro max and this is said to maybe accommodate a larger battery will have better
battery life and maybe enhanced displays so that's possible that they could make it thicker maybe a
half a millimeter thicker but it does look to be a little bit larger now with the iphone 13 pro max
being a little bit thicker it could accommodate a larger battery like i said the 12 pro max has
a 3678 milliamp hour battery and that gives it 8 to 10 sometimes 12 hours of screen on time
maybe if they could bump that up to 4 000 milliamp hours maybe we could even get 14 hours of screen
on time so i would love to see them accommodate an even larger battery with that more efficient
processor that's said to be in there now also the device is a little bit thicker and the camera bump
isn't as large however on these models they tend to be not representative of the overall thickness
but it's possible they could shrink that in since the phone would be a little bit thicker the module
could be a little bit smaller than what we have already now on the display they don't show a notch
here and i would expect a notch since we have a camera there but on all of these you'll notice
that the earpiece or the earphone speaker is at the very top it's not like that on the actual
model of the iphone 12 or 12 pro max it's in the middle of the notch it looks like they've moved
at the top on all of these models and again these are fairly representative of what to expect
so it seems like they would be at the very top of the display now whether or not they were able to
completely get rid of the notch i doubt that many people have said that it's going to shrink but
it looks like they've relocated the camera from the side of the the speakerphone or the earphone
to the bottom of it or right below it so it seems like they have changed this up a little bit
and we could expect some changes there and that's true on all of these models so you'll see it's at
the top on every one of them and if we match that up to the 12 pro you'll see that the earpiece is
at the top instead of in the middle of where a notch could be this could be great news for
those who don't really care for the notch but the overall move to shrink the notch seems to
be the way we're going so that seems to be what we should expect now as far as the display itself it
is said to be at least having pro motion on the higher end displays but we could have pro motion
120 hertz like you would expect and that smaller notch now again improved 5g and also the price
is said to remain the same so there shouldn't be any sort of price increase according to what
people are saying at this point although you just don't know until apple actually announces it so
those are just rumors as far as that goes but the overall layout seems to be the same as last year
and i really like the squared off design i know some people don't they prefer the round design
but when apple switched to this it reminded me of going back to an iphone 4 4s or 5 or 5s and those
are my favorite era of iphone so now we have that squared off design and i really really like it
it feels very solid and premium and it makes sense that they would keep it since they redesigned it
last year so i wouldn't expect much of a design change other than camera enhancements and a change
to the to the display which could be pretty major for a lot of people i really welcome that and if
they put the earpiece there that seems to make a lot of sense if we take a look at the prototype
from the previous here it shows that there was a notch so you'll see even on the model here
that there was a notch on this year's model there strangely is no notch maybe they're able to hide
it a little bit better i'm not sure but i would expect a smaller notch that's narrower instead of
just disappearing altogether so on the 12 pro for example i would expect them to shrink it this way
horizontally compared to vertically so maybe they found a way to do both but that's it for a first
look at what it could look like i'm pretty sure this is what they'll look like it's been accurate
every single year so that makes a lot of sense now if you're going to pick up an iphone 13 i'd
love to hear from you in the comments below or even if you're going to stick with what you've
got now since ios 15 supports all the way back to the iphone 6s series phone if you're content with
your phone that's great as well but i'd love to hear from you if you're picking one of these up
or what you think about that orange color as well if that's something that appeals to you
or you think they should do a different color let me know what you think would be best in the
