I hope they get rid of the shiny (polished) surface on the Pro models, looks like absolute garbage after 5 second of using the phone. Give us a matte or brushed finish please.
Got a tip for us?

No need to ever change the chassis from the 12 form. It’s perfect.
Frankly, me neither. The notch actually became a trademark, like TV ads using that shape for their apps.
It has certainly has made it easier to distinguish newer phones from older ones. In that sense, I suppose you are right. It is the current unofficial trademark of the iPhone. Many may abhor it but, the saving grace is Apple has been consistent In its use and design. The same can't be said of others.
Wouldn’t be surprised if this was called 12S instead.
The camera bump is on every single phone right now , I wouldn't say it's a design failure... How would you change this "design failure"?
Just hold your breath for 2-3 seconds.
I never understood why Apple just doesn't make the case that much thicker thus eliminating the hideous camera bump. They could cram in more battery.
Sounds pretty boring so far. I mean if 120hz stuff is the new new... I am not sure anyone really cares about that at all. All my friends use iphones and they would never buy a phone because of it or know what to make of it. I hope there are other bells and whistles cause a smaller notch is still a notch, and 120hz isn't going to get average users to care.
Unlike you, my company phone obliges me to have a robust passcode composed for at least 8 alphanumeric characters. So typing the passcode while wearing a mask is quite a pain.
Still ugly and intrusive, my bet they will be so ashamed again pro version marketing adds will hide it (as always)
I really hope they make a 13 Pro mini!
Apple is expected to continue to offer four iPhone options in 2021, with the iPhone 13 to be identical in design to the iPhone 12 with few changes, according to a new report today from Japanese site Mac Otakara that cites sources within the Chinese supply chain.
The height and width of the four iPhone models are expected to remain the same, but thickness could increase by approximately 0.26mm.
The rear camera unit is expected to increase in size by 0.9mm on all iPhone 13 models, and Apple will shift to a design that "covers the entire camera unit with sapphire glass." The lenses are expected to protrude less in a design that's more similar to the 2020 iPad Pro, which has a thick camera bump but less protrusion when it comes to the lens design.
Mac Otakara believes that the iPhone 13 Pro could feature sensor-shift optical image stabilization, a feature that Apple included in the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
As for the front of the iPhone 13, the site suggests that the TrueDepth camera "is getting narrower" because the receiver at the top of the display will move to the edge of the case. This suggests that the notch on the next-generation iPhone could be slightly thinner.
This is the second time that we've heard rumors of a thinner or shallower notch, so it's possible the 2021 iPhone models will have a notch that's the same length but not as tall.
Other iPhone 13 rumors have suggested we could see some models getting LTPO OLED displays with support for 120Hz refresh dates, and there will, of course, be a faster A15 chip. We have more on what to expect from the iPhone 13 in our dedicated roundup.

Unlike me? I haven't given you any information about me and my passcode. Typing a passcode with a mask that doesn't cover your eyes is a pain? How in the world does wearing a mask impede your ability to type with your finger(s)?
I use a very long passcode that is at least 21 alphanumeric characters. I input that passcode when wearing my mask. It isn't a pain at all. If you didn't have Face ID, you would be doing the same thing.
I am not buying what you are trying to sell.
Ok so iPhone 13 is using 40% of its battery life on 5G, it will use 80% of its battery in 5min with 120hz on, fix your **** first before implementing new features. This looks like I will skip iPhone 13 lineup also and keep my 11 Pro Max as long as lit lasts.
Maybe, but my experience with iPhone 12 Pro max was extremely poor, when 5G Auto was enabled my phone lost 40% of battery life with screen turned off in 5min.
