MiniLED < OLED < MicroLED
I also want TouchID back and the notch gone though. Notches are so 2017.

About iPhones 13, the only thing I want to know is if are going to have Touch ID along with Face ID.
Ain't going to happen if iPhone workers continue to riot at the Wistron Assembly factories around the globe for non-wage payments. That will certainly put the kabosh on any delivery boosts.
Honestly, I don’t think Apple care about our personal tastes. Since iPhone X, Apple has sold millions iPhones despite of the notch.
It all comes to marketing, pal. Almost all cell phones (not just iPhone) are being named with a +1 something from last year, in order to turn on our desire to have the last and best, so they keep selling in a yearly basis to a lot of consumers. If you now think about MacBooks or AirPods, this doesn’t occur with them, and as a consequence, people don’t fell the need (or at least the desire) of upgrade year after year.
Why would they downgrade to miniled
Personally waiting for an entirely different display technology before I buy another iPhone. When will this era of OLED hell end?
Definitely worth waiting for , I skipped the 12 after reading about the display / battery issues
IMHO if Apple were smart about this, they would make 2021 an "S" year, and build 12S models. Just up the chips, tweak the remaining hardware and utilize as close to all the other parts as the 12 currently does. Just keep the dimensions the same and allow case makers and others to keep doing their thing as well. There's probably been major disruptions all across every stage and channel of their production apparatus. This would be a chance to recoup, make incremental adjustments and improvements, and then move on from there. The only major change that could excite me is switching off Lightning and moving to USB-C. At any rate I currently have an 11 Pro and would likely buy a 12S next year.
Probably because it will be an S upgrade, thus minimal difference between generations.
While the iPhone 12 lineup launched later than usual due to the COVID-19 pandemic, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo today forecasted that mass production of so-called iPhone 13 models with a new A15 chip will revert back to Apple's usual timeframe.
In a typical year, Apple begins mass production of iPhones in the early summer, but reports indicated that mass production of iPhone 12 models did not begin until September, leading Apple to postpone its usual iPhone event in September until October for the first time since 2011. iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro models launched on October 23, followed by the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max on November 13.
Kuo also dismissed concerns that Apple supplier TSMC's capacity utilization rate for A14 chips is set to drop from 100% to 80% in the first quarter of 2021, noting that this is largely due to seasonality factors. The analyst said iPhone demand remains strong, particularly for iPhone 12 Pro models, which have faced some camera-related component shortages contributing to extended shipping estimates on Apple.com.
With mass production of iPhone 13 models expected to follow a more typical schedule next year, it is certainly possible that the devices could be unveiled in September again as usual, but nothing is for certain amid the global health crisis.

I'm hoping for larger battery and 120hz display. No excuse not to include them both.
I think you will survive without having a new phone a couple of months early.
Instead of worrying about next years phone they need to concentrate on getting the current ones working correctly, these endless serious bugs like battery and message issues are seriously making me consider alternatives at my next upgrade, Apple seem unable to get a grip on the endless bugs, if the software dept was half a good and innovative as the hardware dept we would hardly have any problems
