iPhone 13 Will Be Slightly Thicker With Minor Changes to Camera Bump and Notch [Report]

A new report from Macotakara says that Apple's next generation 'iPhone 13' will largely keep the same design as the iPhone 12 with a few minor changes.

According to the site's sources, the width and height of the iPhone 13 will remain unchanged but the thickness will increase by 0.26mm.

In regards to the rear camera, the individual lenses are not expected to protrude from the camera bump. However, the camera unit will be "increased by about 0.9mm" and it appears that Apple will use sapphire glass to cover the entire area.


Macotakara says the rear camera unit on the iPhone 13 Pro is the same size as the iPhone 13 Pro Max, suggesting that Apple may be added sensor-shifted optical image stabilization to the iPhone 13 Pro.

Finally, the receiver at the top of the display has purportedly been moved up to the very top of the enclosure "making the TrueDepth camera thinner".

Apple's isn't expected to unveil its next generation iPhones until next fall; however, you can download the iClarified app or follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and RSS for all the latest updates.
