Stream of additional rumors about the 2021 iPhone

Ming-Chi Kuostruck again. If you don't know who it is, a quick reminder: working at IF International Securities in Taiwan, this smartphone market expert is very close to Apple's subcontractors. Not far away are the TSMC factories, at the helm of all the processors integrated into the Californian brand's devices. All this researcher needs to share with us the best leaks on this subject.

Among the latest, the one that is scrutinized by a number of investorsstates thusthat Cupertino plans (finally!) to reduce the size of the imposing notch at the top of the front panel of its iPhones. This could thus take the form of a simplepunch, as we have found for example on Android mobiles for several years now. This would result in a much more pleasant full-screen experience for movies or video games.

Flash display, better battery

Another supposed change: the transition to120 Hzfrequency, all with technologyLTPO. The first feature allows gamers to enjoy smoother images, even if the naked eye actually doesn't really see the difference as Asus offers on its ROG Phone range. The second,already mentioned as recently as last November, simply extends battery life.

Moreover, regarding this component, Kuo also believes that it will be revised upwards with better endurance. This would be made possible by a smarter arrangement of the different parts such as the SIM card portor the different sensors running Face ID. Only downside: theweightof the iPhone 13 would then be maximized, even if it is impossible to know precisely how many grams we are talking about.

Connectivity and camera

Are you still hungry? No problem: still according to the same source, the future iPhone 12S - no one yet knows their real name - would always include a connectorLightning. Surprising, when we know that Europe is starting to seriously crack down on this type of practice deemed harmful to consumers by imposing USB-C as a universal standard. In addition, recently, other rumors were based on wireless charging only.

For mobile data, Apple would continue to rely on the know-how of the manufacturer Qualcomm: we would then be entitled to amodem Snapdragon X60. Finally, on the imaging side, the ultra-wide-angle sensor would move to an f/1.8 aperture with autofocus, while the LiDAR radar would remain confined to the Pro versions which are the most expensive in the range.
