When Will The iPhone 13 Be Announced & Released?
Last year, the iPhone 12 launch was delayed due the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. With vaccination rates picking up, any similar delay for the iPhone 13 isn’t expected, so more likely than not we’ll see the company return to their usual September reveal. Some reports are predicting an official reveal around September 7 to 14, with the iPhone 13 release date later that month.
As for an exact iPhone 13 release date. Well, the iPhone 12 was October 23, 2020, and the iPhone 12 announcement was October 14, 2020. If the iPhone 13 is officially announced on September 7 that means we could possibly see the iPhone 13 release date confirmed for as early as September 16.
The launch months will be slightly different this year, with Apple expecting the iPhone 13 to outsell its predecessor. There are a number of reasons for this, with the two main ones being that COVID-19 vaccination programs are picking up around the world, and this will be the second iPhone update with support for 5G networks. Aside from the people who are, for some stupid reason, convinced that 5G has something to do with the global pandemic, it’s likely more people will be looking to upgrade to the new standard now that it’s becoming more widespread.
According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple has boosted production of the iPhone 13 models by 20 percent. This means there will be 90 million iPhone 13 units produced between launch and the end of the year, which is substantially more than the 75 million units that were available during the iPhone 12 launch period.
How Much Will The iPhone 13 Cost?
Rumours suggest that we can expect no significant bump up in terms of price for any of the iPhone 13 models, compared to the iPhone 12 prices. As such, expect the iPhone 13 mini equivalent to start off the range at $1,199, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max equivalent should be around $1,849.
The sizes are all expected to be the same too, so the iPhone 13 mini equivalent will have a 5.4-inch screen, climbing up to 6.1-inch for both the iPhone 13 proper and iPhone 13 Pro, and 6.7-inch for the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
