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

[now i see it]

Trying to keep a fingerprint free iPhone will always be a losing battle.
Embrace the fingerprints. Once there's enough of them, more don't make any difference and can't be seen as more. Fingerprints on an iPhone are self limiting. Once you've got enough of them you can't get any more.
It's like trying to keep a smooth sand beach footprint free when walking on it - impossible

It is going to be a shiny phone.

The black looks pretty nice. I'd like to see the camera bump redesigned so the lenses are all flush and don't protrude from the bump.

 

[Dumbinho]

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?

I don’t know all the technical terms as I’m no expert. But I think there’s a technical reason for the bump. I believe it has to do with light reflection.

Have you not seen the Pixel 5s Astro mode?

Actually, no, I haven't.

That's what I want as well.

Apple leaving the “S” moniker behind, along with skipping the iPhone 7s, 8s, 9/9S is going to really put them in an awkward situation, sooner rather than later.

iPhone 23 is just a bit ridiculous.

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

Exactly, the very first thing most people do nowadays is put screen protector on, then the case. I really can't care less about the material of the back, or anything related. Apple, keep making the internal beast!! That's what matters.

It is due to the depth of the camera physical package is bigger than the thickness of the phone....I would say......get rid of the bump by making the body thicker....and adding a bigger battery

Ultra wide is said to be getting a big upgrade this year. We won’t see massive zoom until 2022-2023 from the sounds thats when we will see a periscope lens. Zoom is lacking and sadly got to wait a while for this one.

12MP main cameras aren’t enough. MP isn’t everything, but we need more pixels for larger displays. iPhone pictures look good on iPhones and that’s about it. Even looking at them on iPads is slightly suspect.

 

[ElectricPotato]

I need that orange.

I'm hoping for banana! Are you hearing me Tim?

 

[The Barron]

How credible is leaker Max Weinbach? Is he in the same camp as Prosser?

 

[Apple_Robert]

Call it the "MKBHD Edition".

Seriously though, if true that is a really nice color. Hope they offer it in the Mini as well.

I would rather see the orange . Black is done every year.

 

[Apple_Robert]

I need that orange.

Get in line.

I feel so sorry for anyone who bought that iPhone 12 piece of junk

Do we detect a TROLL here? Heck yes!

 

[The Barron]

Oh boy, I am so glad that my 12 Pro order never arrived.

If it never arrived it means you never ordered it or the credit card was declined. Easy come - easy go.

I'm with you. It could look like balsa wood, and it wouldn't bother me.

Sure more MP would be nice but I wouldn’t say it’s that important. Kuo did say the Mp count would be improved but will see

 

[The Barron]

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

As soon as your expensive iPhone goes to the deck and the screen is ruined, you'll get a case. You'll also be kicking yourself that you didn't at the outset. Yep, the color on the back is nice, but....

 

[The Barron]

I love how a fix to a problem they created (fingerprints on the sides) is now a "feature".
Oh, Apple, we love you!

Yep, those darn side fingerprints are a total deal breaker on the iPhone. 🤣

 

[The Barron]

It is going to be a shiny phone.

and a thin one too knowing Apple designers

 

[The Barron]

They want that premium gloss I guess.

True - BUT, as many here say, that finish is nothing but a fingerprint magnet.

 

[loybond]

Ehh, black is boring.

Keep your pity, I adore my blue 12 Pro. It's the exact iPhone style I've been waiting for since the 5/SE.
