Revelations suggest that the iPhone 13 will not be released

Apple is still half a year away from launching a new generation iPhone, but speculation about the design of the iPhone 13 still makes the tech world seething.

Previously, many people assumed that the new generation iPhone introduced in 2021 was the iPhone 13. However, this device is likely to be called the iPhone 12S .

However, the number 13 is considered unlucky. There is no evidence that the number 13 brings bad luck, but psychologists point out that there is a "fear of number 13" in the world.

Apple may ignore the "13" number for the next iPhone generation because of customer dimensions.

Besides, it has been reported that Apple considers this an upgrade to the existing model and not necessarily an entirely new product.

Tim Cook and other executives may have shared the number 13's, so they considered omitting the iPhone 13. In other words, not only will the iPhone 13 not launch this year, but likely as well. feature it won't launch.

An article by Bloomberg in January, citing an Apple engineer, confirmed that only a few minor changes have been made to the iPhone 2021, meaning it only deserves the "S" version.

Apple has a history of skipping some numbers when naming the iPhone. For example, in 2016, the company launched the iPhone 7. The next year is the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X - the special edition celebrates the 10th anniversary of the iPhone's birth. People didn't see the iPhone 9 at all.

This is because for the iPhone X, Apple also uses the letter X and says "iPhone ten", to logically match the 10th anniversary of the iPhone. Therefore, the designation "iPhone 9" is not suitable for this purpose.

However, fans of defective apples also have their own views. Many Twitter users explain by saying "seven ate nine" (number 7 has eaten number 9).

This pun is strongly supported by the phrase "seven ate nine" has the same pronunciation as "seven eight nine".

Therefore, if Apple ignores the iPhone 13 to launch any particular iPhone 14, it is not a surprise. That particular iPhone could be the foldable iPhone version that many people speculate recently.
