Details of the first prototype of the iPhone 13 recently appeared with the same overall design as the iPhone 12, but there are certain changes, according to a person who specializes in providing leaked information.

Specifically, the sources provided by leaker Jiorīku are quite limited, but that is all we know at the moment.

iPhone 13 will most likely have a design similar to the iPhone 12 when it launches in late 2021 - a design with square edges, aluminum or stainless steel chassis.

According to Jiorīku, the first prototype iPhone 13 does not come with Touch ID under the screen, the technology many people are expecting to appear on the new iPhone generation.

However, this is only the first iPhone 13 prototype tested, most likely the next prototypes will be equipped with this technology.

Previously, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has said that Apple is planning to launch at least one iPhone by 2021, which will come with both Touch ID and Face ID. Although some rumors have suggested that the iPhone 12 series will incorporate an in-display fingerprint sensor, that has not happened.

Some previous reports said that the iPhone 13 will have a more compact 'notch', accompanied by an OLED LTPO screen with a 120Hz refresh rate.

This means that the iPhone can automatically change the screen frequency depending on the content being displayed, in order to save power consumption.

As for the 120Hz (or higher) refresh rate, the less the motion blur of the frame, from which the image displayed on the smartphone will feel smoother and the latency is also lower.

In addition, Apple will likely continue to upgrade the camera system on the 'big' iPhone 13 even more.

Apple may increase the resolution of the camera to more than 12 MP or improve the optical zoom of the periscope.
