The 2021 iPhone 13 models are still several months away from launching and are expected this fall, but we've been hearing rumors about what to expect from the new devices since before the 2020 iPhone 12 models even debuted.

The 2021 iPhone lineup will look similar to the 2020 iPhone lineup, with four devices in sizes that include 5.4-inches, 6.1-inches, and 6.7-inches, with two of the iPhones being higher-end "Pro" models and two positioned as lower-cost, more affordable devices.

Major design changes are not expected, and 2021 iPhones will have the same feature set as the 2020 iPhones, but we can count on camera improvements, a faster A-series processor, a new 5G chip from Qualcomm, increased battery life, and some tweaks to the notch.

There were rumors that at least one iPhone in 2021 would feature a portless design that relies entirely on wireless charging, but reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says that's not going to happen. Apple is going to continue to rely on Lightning for the foreseeable future with no transition to USB-C and no portless design until MagSafe accessories are more common.

We are expecting a smaller notch, with rumors suggesting we could see a shallower notch 

with a reduced height rather than reduced width.

 Apple is also expected to introduce 120Hz refresh 

rates for Pro iPhone models, bringing the iPad Pro's

 ProMotion technology to the iPhone.

Apple is said to be considering adding an in-display

 fingerprint sensor to the iPhone 13 models, which

 would be used in addition to Face ID as an alternate

 biometric authentication method, but it's not clear if

 this will happen.

When it comes to improved camera technology, 

rumors suggest we could see the larger sensor in the

 iPhone 12 Pro

 Max extend to other models, along with the Sensor-

Shift Stabilization

 feature for better auto-focus and stabilization across 

the lineup.

There are rumored to be improvements to the 

Ultra Wide lenses on the "Pro" iPhone 13 models with

 lower apertures for better performance in low-light

 conditions and improved autofocus.

We're expecting the iPhone 13 models to have more

 battery capacity than the iPhone 12 models, 

with Apple swapping to space saving components to

 allow for room for larger batteries.
