What you need to know

  • A new iPhone 13 Pro concept looks like just what we'd been hoping for.
  • Touch ID returns in this latest concept.

Apple is very likely to announce the iPhone 13 later this year and today saw the arrival of a new concept that shows a pretty great iPhone. Now we just have to hope that this is indeed the kind of thing Apple ships in September of October.

The main feature addition I am absolutely here for is Touch ID. Apple could build it into the sleep/wake button or the screen, with the latter being exactly what this concept imagines.

Check it out!

The most secure iPhone ever. Introducing iPhone 13 Pro. Say hello to the first iPhone with FaceID and TouchID, a 120Hz ProMotion XDR Display, the A15 Bionic which is most powerful mobile chip ever, a new triple camera setup with Sensor Shift and Autofocus for the Ultra Wide Lens, iOS 15 out of the box, and even more...

The addition of a smaller notch is something we're all keen to see but it's one that will make less of an improvement than Touch ID, that's for sure. iOS 15 will no doubt be the software powering the new iPhones, as is the A15 processor. Just imagine how fast that will be!

Apple would normally announce a new iPhone lineup in September, although things were delayed a few weeks last year for obvious reasons. I'm hoping we get back to a September window in 2021, although that might cause issues with those on the Apple iPhone Upgrade Program because they won't have had their iPhone 12 handset for a year yet.

For now, we can only wait and see.
