Apple hasn't yet set a date for the iPhone 13 launch. But even with the launch of this fall'south new iPhone still up in the air, the folks that follow Apple's production releases are starting to cake out dates on their agenda.

"The iPhone 13 appears to represent 35%-45% of iPhone builds in Q3, this positive outlook gives us enhanced confidence that 2021's launch timing will exist 'normal'" MacRumors quotes Ives equally saying. "From a timing perspective, we believe the current iPhone 13 launch is slated for the tertiary week in September."

That's certainly in line with the iPhone 13 expectations of others. The almost widely held theory is that Apple is shipping its new lineup in September, returning to its regular schedule of iPhone releases after the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the iPhone 12 launch and forced Apple to roll out new devices on a staggered schedule in October and November.

It'southward unclear from the report on the Wedbush investors note whether the iPhone xiii launch means the week that Apple tree volition unveil the telephone at 1 of its production events or the time when the new telephone will actually hit retail shelves. For what information technology'southward worth, when we did our back-of-the-envelope calculations to estimate every bit to when the iPhone 13 would arrive, nosotros settled on the week of Sept. 12, with Tuesday, Sept. 14 as the about likely date for an Apple upshot. Nether that schedule, the iPhone 13 models would ship a week to days later, which lines up with the time frame touted by Wedbush.

Earlier this week, Bloomberg's Marker Gurman predicted a busy fall release schedule for Apple tree, with the Apple tree Watch vii, updated AirPods, new MacBooks and a new iPad mini and 9th-gen iPad joining the iPhone xiii on Apple tree'due south to-do listing.

Of course, at the moment, naught is official, as Apple is however to send out invites for a production launch of whatever sort. Assuming that the mid-September fourth dimension frame is correct, we wouldn't expect those invitations to become out until the cease of this month or the beginning of next — basically 2 weeks in advance of the iPhone 13'southward big day.

Ives' note contains a few other tidbits of interest to anyone wondering near iPhone thirteen features. He reiterates a claim from an before research note that the iPhone 13 Pro models will have a 1TB storage option. Additionally, he believes that the iPhone 13 and iPhone xiii mini will be getting LiDAR sensors, matching a feature on the Pro versions of Apple's phone. Some analysts had cast doubt on whether LiDAR would come to the less expensive iPhone 13 models.

The iPhone 13 is rumored to be aircraft in the aforementioned sizes as the iPhone 12 lineup from this year. Most rumors advise the notch on the display of every telephone will shrink, while the Pro models are reportedly in line to get fast refreshing displays and improved ultrawide angle cameras.
