Five iPhone 13 Rumors You May Have Missed

[Sir_Macs_A_Lot]

There are currently only 10 US states and territories with mask mandates with or without vaccination.

You’re right. So that’s millions of people affected. Not to mention the rest of the world. (I’ve seen whole cities in China wearing masks…and that was well before this pandemic.)

Also, don’t assume just because YOU don’t care about something that it not a big deal.

 

[alexandr]

Looks like a REAL gold to me.

that's what i'm hoping for. it'll have to replace the current gold tho — doesn't make sense to have both)

 

[PinkyMacGodess]

Hmm...

Anti-fingerprint coating? Meh...

Beam-forming microphones? Meh...

Matt black color option? YESSS!

Astrophotography option? HECK YESSS! *SOLD*

 

[Pakaku]

Guacamole green, just for you.

I’d be up for that colour if I was in the market to upgrade…

State mandates are irrelevant. Schools are adding them in droves and lots of stores have begun to require masks again... plus airplanes, every medical facility in the country.... there are still lots of masks, and lots of people who are voluntarily wearing them because they actually value science over conspiracy theory.

I'd just like them to fix Face ID unlock with Apple watch. It works 1 out of 10 times if I'm lucky.

 

[Kostas3000]

if there is no touchID, then this year will be my first year with Android, Google Pixel 6!

 

[MacAddict1978]

to me those colours are not appealing at all, they better add something else

People be acting like these are the real colors I sure hope the real ones arent these though.

I don't like the bronze they rendered, and the current gold is a bit too light (thought I like it a lot).... but I think something in the middle would be sweet AF. Anything but another version of Rose Gold.

One missing rumor is no TOUCH ID under the glass with mask mandates on the rise, so once again Apple's phones will be the least functional during a pandemic and I'm going to pass on buying again. Thank You Timmy! At least Steve Jobs admitted when something failed or didn't work in the wild the way he expected. He famously didn't base his designs on consumer demand, but when something didn't work as he expected, he was quick to fix it. Timmy is stuck in the basement doubling down on epic failures hell or high water that he still thinks are brilliant. Sorry Tim, you didn't design "Insanely Great." You just inherited it.

I have an Apple Watch. It usually unlocks my iPhone. Plus, I'm an adult and don't put strange things in my mouth, and have Purell, or other suitable juices at the ready. I mean, aside from my nails splitting a lot, the whole pandemic has been rather frightening, but I've managed pretty well. I don't let people touch anything that I use daily, and I wiped everything down too. I avoided businesses that refused to take it seriously, and did my best when there wasn't an alternative.

'Timmy' is fine. And, sorry, many things were failures under jobs, that survived. The next wave is about to hit the country. We see it coming, and some people are doing nothing to prepare for it. We can survive this one again if we just stay calm, stay safe, get vaccinated, and stay away from other people. There were no 'epic failures' from Apple. Just chill...

You might know that there is a whole world of states and countries where Apple sells more iPhones combined than in the US. And there still are a lot of countries that ask for mandatory mask.

Without touchID I am gonna refurbish my XR - Apple your are loosing the grip. Still cannot understand that the haven't been able to adjust FaceID to mask wearing people. Should be simple. Its more than a year now that billions of users are using masks

 

[PinkyMacGodess]

What’s more appealing than black? Do colors even matter. Everyone puts a case over it anyways

Someone was whining about color choices at a Worst Try store, but their current iPhone had an Otterbox case on it. Well, the case covers all but the thin area around the screen, and the lenses, and it's traditionally been either black, or white. My 10X Max startled me when I pried the case off of it. I had forgotten it was gold. Interesting... What a surprise. And I had just listed it on ebay. It was a beautiful iPhone. Almost hated selling it.

Cases hide a lot. I think I got more for the color, and for it being in a case its whole life. Hmm...

They did. Get an Apple Watch. Well, yeah... It does work, pretty well, and I figure, if no one couches, or licks my iPhone, I can touch the screen and get it to wake up with my Apple Watch. They have tried to address the issues. Heck, I ride bikes a lot, and can barely recognize people I ride with nearly everyday when I see them on the street (in the wild) without their 'stuff' on. Wiping down phone screens, using the Apple Watch, using hand sanitizer, not touching your face if you think it's unwise, will do much to lessen the possibilities, but seriously, it's not a gigantic issue. What are the chances of getting infected by touching your own iPhone if no one else ever touches it? I wouldn't think it's enough to get all flustered over. People have way more chance of getting infected standing next to an infected maskless person, touching anything and then your face/mouth, etc...

Think about it for a minute: If touching your screen to enter a passcode is so traumatic, touching the touchID spot has to be just as disastrous, right? Relax... Light switches, door handles, knobs, counters, etc, are a much more ready source of infection.

Someone said nitrile gloves were 'the answer' and then someone posted a picture of a guy handling his phone with his disposable glove in his mouth. Yikes, but there it is... Be safe, but be sane...

 

[Populus]

I would never put a case over my phone. Why would I want to destroy the aesthetics and add extra weight?

Because that way it’s protected in case you accidentally drop it.

 

[Dr@g0n]

its the same as iphone 12, 11, X =) thats it.

 

[cmaier]

The only time I’ve ever used a case with my iPhone, dating all the way back to the original iPhone, is when I am traveling and need a battery case. Cases are dumb.

Who drops a phone?

Sorry to not agree with you. Last week friend of mine got his Xr Stolen, they used Special light Equipment to Check Which Numbers he has Marked more than others and figured out his code. Opened his phone and emptied his bank Account. All not so easy with a working FaceID on a 1000 dólar phone.

Second: so you Tell me to be able tu use my phone without having to Type the Code I Need to spend another 400 Bucks for a Watch I don’t like.

Why in Gods Name can’t Apple adapt Faceid to recognize my face with Mask on or give me the Choice to do the Same with touchid

I am no worried about contaminación I am about Security and easyness to handle my phone cause thats what I paid for

How would you know they used “special light equipment“ unless you were there when the thieves did it?

 

[DeepIn2U]

Beamforming microphones

yes to all those that actually try to eat the taco when talking on their phone (even with wired headphones plugged in that include a mic)

lol

 

[tgi]

Are there no more S models?

 

[cmaier]

Are there no more S models?

It was a dumb naming convention anyway. Other than a similar form factor, the ”S” usually had all the innovative new features.

 

[PsykX]

This is just the evolution year, but I think it's going to be reaaaally compelling.

 

[kaycrystal626]

I will only upgrade or get iPhone 13 if they have 10x optical zoom and 108-megapixel resolution.

 

[cmaier]

Why on earth would you want such tiny pixels? Low light performance would be garbage at 108 megapixels.

 

[munakib]

I thought there were rumors of them bringing portrait style Bokah effect on video mode, which makes complete sense as S years tend to focus on camera quality. Or are we trying to keep low expectations so that there could be splashy headlines on announcement day?
