iPhone 13 Pro Lineup Rumored to Include Matte Black Option, New Anti-Fingerprint Coating for Stainless Steel Edges, and More

[The Game 161]

120hz displays suck down battery life fast, so the “always on” display is questionable. Even if the refresh rate is dynamic, they still soak up a ton of juice to run.

Not with LTPO it won’t. That’s the whole point of that type of panel. Bigger batteries are also expected so the battery life will be the same as it is now.

Most people put cases on them so who care about the color

Those of us that use them without cases. We are not all the same 😀

Ok but most people do use cases, I have to use one on my Iphone 7+ , easier to hold on to a bar of soap in a tornado

What I do not like about the new camera system is that the lenses stand out. Why is the glas not raised for that "bump" to make it flush with the camera. is there a technical reason for that? I mean ... it is a camera bump either way. I think it would look much better to raise the glass and make the camera flush. Also less danger to break the lenses?

Not like you can’t get clear cases or bumpers to show off the colours

true

"Astrophotography capabilities"? I wonder what that means.

I guess pictures of Uranus.

Let's be real, almost everybody will still buy it to take selfies and TikTok shorts. 😀

Matte black would be nice - I know it can't be done but I prefer aluminum on the back.

Good thing I cancelled my 12 Pro Max order last month.
Although I’m more interested in if more leaks about under display touch ID,and I wish Apple would include Macro mode and more powerful zoom instead of focusing on casual camera features like portrait and selfie.

the matt black is a great choice,I’m sure they were influenced by the amazing design of Samsung S21 Ultra matt black.

We won’t see Touch ID. 🙁
Wonder if my 6s will make it to 2022? I’m guessing with a new battery yes lol

 

[DNichter]

I'll upgrade as I always do, been wanting matte black for a while. I think that should be standard across all their products.

 

[Eggtastic]

"New stainless steel coating that reduces fingerprints"... I don't understand why they just don't make it a matte finish like the no pro models and call it a day.

Touch ID is expected

I absolutely love my Pacific Blue 12 Pro Max, but man... Matte Black always looks so good.

I hope the new Macs this year finally come in a Matte/Deep Black!

 

[CD3660]

...Those with the 12 Pro are unlikely to upgrade after one generation.

I will... but then again I always do.

They want that premium gloss I guess.

Wait for the 2022 iPhone then

 

[Metrosey]

Yeah, some people do, most don’t though. I mean I’ll see how much I get for my iPhone 12 Pro Max, but I’d likely use the money for an Apple Watch 7 Titanium instead of upgrading the phone.

"Astrophotography capabilities"? I wonder what that means. You need either a LOT of light gathering or a sidereal mount to get good night sky photos. And decent zoom capability helps.

Perhaps more granular control of the Night mode. Throw it on a tripod today and it goes up to 30 second exposures (I believe?). A longer exposure would improve shooting at a night sky.

Is Weinbach mixing up his own rumors again? Last time he talked about a new matte back finish, not a matte bLack finish.

 

[traveltoromantis]

I don't take him seriously as a reliable "leaker". He is nice to look at, though.

 

[LeadingHeat]

Remember kids; Weinbach is historically 11% less accurate than Prosser, so if you’re going to complain about Prosser’s leaks being reported then you have to keep that same energy here.

I’ve always thought about how mad Prosser gets at MR for being called hit or miss every single time 😂 “what must I do to earn back your trust??”

 

[Yokon54]

I’m hoping for more significant camera improvements. My 12 Pro Max takes good photos, but they still look bad at any zoom level. I think we need more than 12 megapixels.

The zoom functionality needs to be improved greatly via more optical zoom hardware or better AI.

"a new stainless steel coating that reduces smudges and fingerprints"

When you've run out of ideas to differentiate your products... 🙄
