The launch of the iPhone 13 is likely to be on September 14 and speculations are rife about the price, features and specifications.
The price of the iPhone 13 is the biggest of speculations and now a new report has suggested that prices are going to be higher than that of the iPhone 12 as there is likely to be a surge in the production costs.
Apple’s biggest chip supplier TSMC plans to increase the prices for “sub 7nm process technologies'' by up to 5% and “mature process technologies” by 20%. Apple is likely to set higher prices for its upcoming iPhone and other series,” the report said.
According to IT Home, the iPhone 13 series is already listed on an e-commerce website in China. Apple is likely to unveil all four models of its upcoming 'iPhone 13' lineup with larger batteries, an updated chipset, and expanded mmWave 5G support, a report said earlier.
The iPhone 13 lineup may mirror the iPhone 12 family of phones, with a 5.4-inch iPhone 13 Mini, 6.1-inch iPhone 13, 6.1-inch iPhone 13 Pro, and 6.7-inch iPhone 13 Pro Max.
The device is said to be powered by Apple's next-generation A15 chip manufactured based on TSMC's 5nm+ process.
The entire iPhone 13 range is also expected to sport the LiDAR sensor. The sensor first appeared in the latest generation iPad Pro in March this year followed by the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max.
