The latest series has some recent upgrades in the camera, video recording, battery capacity, and increased power in the processor. There is no shred of doubt about the iPhone 13 series is currently the best in class smartphone worldwide. However, these smartphones are not for everyone to buy. Moreover, the latest iPhones have some exciting updates. But what’s missing is the inclusion of groundbreaking tech, which the iPhone 12 series does not already have.

Delivery Delays And Production Shortage:

The Apple iPhone 13 series has been launched successfully worldwide, and dedicated users love the latest smartphones. However, there have been confirmed reports about delays in deliveries of several models of the iPhone 13 series. Moreover, some reports also claimed that Apple is facing manufacturing issues due to local lockdowns and a shortage of semiconductors. Thus, with high demand and product shortage, it might not be the perfect time to invest a hefty amount of money in the Apple iPhone 13 series.

Rising Software Issues Faced by iPhone 13 users:

There have been several complaints about the iPhone 13 series having some software issues recently. Several reports have claimed that the iPhone 13 users are facing problems with Apple watch unlocking feature, camera glitches, and unresponsive touchscreens. Moreover, the ProMotion display feature of the Apple iPhone 13, which allows faster refresh rates up to 120 Hz, is causing some glitches with third-party apps. In response to the issues, Apple has claimed that the problems are related to the iOs 15 upgrades and will be fixed when the next update comes. Thus, it will be wise to wait before buying the iPhone 13 until the new update comes. Moreover, the 120Hz feature is only available in the pro models, which are slightly on the expensive side currently. However, the prices will go down to a reasonable range in a few months as the supply closes in on the demands.

Apple iPhone 13: Camera Upgrades, Some Key Features Still Awaited

Apple has made some key camera upgrades in the iPhone 13 series. In addition, critical upgrades in the hardware and the software have been made to improve the photography and videography experience. However, there are some key features the new iPhones are missing in comparison with Android. Features like a periscope camera and 10x optical zoom are missing from the upgraded iPhones. Apple geeks will have to wait for the 2022 upgrade to get hold of these features. Moreover, the Apple iPhone 13 Pro provides the best in class videography features. It records videos up to 4K at 60 frames per second. However, users will have to be patient about filming videos at 8K. The upgraded feature is expected to be included in the 2022 upgrade.

No Groundbreaking Features in Comparision with iPhone 12 series:

There have been some exciting updates in the iPhone 13 series. However, most of the features are similar to the iPhone 12 series models with some upgrades. Moreover, users will have to wait for unique tech inclusions in the iPhone 14 series when talking about entirely different tech. Thus, if you own an iPhone 12 model, it will be wise to wait for the iPhone 14 series, which will bring some exciting tech inclusions and features.

So, if you have no issues with the budgets and love to stay updated with the models of iPhones, go ahead and order your iPhone 13 now. However, if you plan to invest your money right and buy a smartphone for the long run, it will be a smarter choice to wait for the iPhone 14 series.

Some iPhone 13 Models Fail To Support Apple Watch Unlocking.

Some Apple iPhone 13 users are having trouble unlocking their phones with their Apple Watches. Earlier, Apple released the iOS 14.5 update, which added unlocking your iPhone while wearing a face mask. However, when a user wears a face mask, Apple’s Face ID fails to work. Hence, the update allowed the users to unlock their iPhone 13 using an Apple Watch. Further, Apple also confirmed the issue and suggested a fix for it.

How To Fix Apple Watch Unlocking On Your iPhone 13?

Apple has provided a software update recently to fix the problem. The latest iOS 15.0.1 software update deals explicitly with the Apple Smartwatch unlocking issue faced by iPhone 13 users. Moreover, the users will also have to download a Watch OS8 update on their smartwatches to resolve the problem altogether.

Automatic Switch Between Ultrawide and Wide Cameras on Apple iPhone 13 Pro:

The iPhone 13 Pro models come with a new macro mode that works on the 12MP ultrawide camera of the smartphone. However, if a user tries to shoot a subject within a range of 5.5 inches, the camera automatically shifts from the primary lens to the ultrawide lens. Apple claimed it to be a new feature of the iPhone 13 pro camera system. However, some tech reviewers reported that the shift in the lens captures a different frame from what appears in the iPhone’s viewfinder. So, for now, the feature is automatic and cannot be turned off.

Apple Suggests A Fix:

The Apple company suggests that a future update will allow the users of iPhone 13 Pro to turn off the automatic switching feature when working on macro mode.

Apple iPhone 13: Delayed Response From Touchscreens

Several iPhone 13 users have reported that their touchscreens are either not responding or showing a delayed response to the taps. The issue is more common on the lock screen, Tap to wake, and the iOs wide incidents. Furthermore, the upper corners of the iPhone 13 screen seem to be more unresponsive than other areas.

Apple Claims A Software Problem:

Apple responded to the user queries and suggested that the problem was regarding the iOS 15 software update. Moreover, the hardware of the iPhone 13 seems to be intact. Earlier, some iPhone 12 users also reported similar issues after the iOS 15 upgrade. Thus, future iOS is believed to fix the unresponsive screen issues.

Third-Party Apps Fails To Cope-Up With High refresh rates

The ProMotion displays allow iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max to attain refresh rates of 120 Hz. The display allows the apps to run smoother, be more responsive, and enhance the device’s performance. However, several iPhone 13 Pro users have reported a glitch in the third-party apps with faster refresh rates of the Apple iPhone 13 Pro.

Apple Instructs The App Developers And Also Signals A Bug Fix:

Apple has instructed the third-party apps to declare that they support 120 Hz refresh rates. Thus, Apple plans to clarify the developer requirements for future glitches. Further, the company plans to pan out a bug fix regarding the animations built using Apple’s Core Animation Tools.

So, there is nothing to worry about if you are facing any such performance issues in your Apple iPhone 13 models. Apple will deal with these issues quite soon, releasing new updates to fix these issues.

Apple iPhone 14 To Get Storage Up to 2 TB, Complete Redesign

Apple has recently launched the latest Apple iPhone 13 series, and the rumors about the next-generation iPhone 14 have already crowded the tech industry. Moreover, the next-generation iPhone 14 series is expected to be launched in late-2022. However, a recent report by MyDrivers suggests the Apple’s next smartphone will come with an expanded storage space of up to 2 TB. Keep reading further to know all the leaked details about the Apple iPhone 14 as per the latest report.

Apple iPhone 14 To Have Expansion Space of 2TB?

Apple is rumored to double the maximum storage space for the upcoming Apple iPhone 14 series up to 2TB. Although, customers might only find the storage expansion option of 2TB only in iPhone 14 Pro and Pro max. However, we can expect iPhone 14 and other series models with storage space up to 512GB. Recently, Apple has launched iPhone 13 Pro with an internal storage of 1 TB to support its high-quality camera system. Apple usually upgrades the camera system each year with a new model. Thus we can expect Apple iPhone 14 to have a more extensive storage system and a more powerful camera.

Is 2TB Storage Practical For A Smartphone?

Rumors of Apple iPhone 14 having 2TB storage raises a question if it’s sensible to have 2TB storage in a smartphone. However, the 256GB and above variant of iPhone 13 pro only offers to shoot 4K ProRes footage at 30 frames per second. Further, the 128GB variant of 13 Pro is restricted to shoot at 1080 ProRes footage at 30 fps. Hence, introducing 2TB storage in camera-centric Apple smartphones seems to be a sensible move by Apple. However, it is still early to talk about iPhone 14 to trust the details mentioned by the report entirely.

Renowned Analyst Predicts The Specification of iPhone 14:

The famous tech analyst Ming-Chi shared that iPhone 14 is expected to imbibe 1/1.3-inch 48MP CMOS image sensors to support a wide-angle camera module system. Further, the famed analyst revealed that the new 2H2022 iPhone system might simultaneously support a direct 48MP output and a 12 MP output. Moreover, the 12MP output increases the CIS pixel size of the 14 series to 2.5 um. The CIS pixel is much larger than Apple’s previous variants. Furthermore, the upcoming Apple iPhone 14 is expected to be powered on iOS 16 with a fast charge supporting a 3,185 mAh battery.

Apple iPhone 14: Availability And Price Range

iPhone 14 is expected to launch next year in 2022. The latest Apple iPhones are available to purchase in India a few weeks after the company’s official launch. Recently, Apple launched the newest iPhone 13 series starting with a price range of Rs 69,900 for iPhone 13 mini to Rs 1,79,900 for the 1TB variant of iPhone 13 Pro. Hence, we can expect the upcoming Apple iPhone 14 Pro to be priced somewhere around Rs 2,00,000. Stay tuned for more recent tech updates.

iPhone 12 Leaked Design Updates: Smaller Notch, Box Camera Module and More!

The new iPhone 12 line-up would be a significant design upgrade for the industry. The global pandemic has surely delayed the launch of these devices but fans and analysts can never wait. From the past few months, we have been watching many design leaks and concepts. There are going to be major upgrades when it comes to design. Here is some information on the same.

Smaller notch, bigger display!

Gone are the days when mobile phones use to have the thick, hefty notch at the top and the bottom of the screen. With the launch of iPhone X, Apple started the trend of edge to edge display, which had a notch. The notch houses some pretty great technology in there. A Dot Projector and an infrared camera sensor for the most secure face unlock that exists. The upcoming iPhone(s) could have an even smaller notch. This would allow for a larger display than previous models.

The new camera module could house the LIDAR Sensor

Apple produces one of the best camera smartphones. With time, they are just getting better at it. Last year’s iPhone 11 Pro had the best camera system. This year’s top models would have a triple rear camera setup. The exciting part is; a new LIDAR sensor would be on board as well. It stands for Light Detection and Ranging. This technology is used to gather information about various surfaces. It could be the surface of your table, the floor, and even the wall. It would drastically enhance the camera’s capabilities to detect and estimate the distance between objects. 

What for us in the deal. Well, improved portrait pictures, enhanced AR performance. Post-production would be a lot more fun, given the real-time control on what to focus and whatnot. Before this, devices use to imitate the same using software. Apple has actually got the hardware required to do the same.

Here are some other upgrades!

Remember the flat side panel design on the iconic iPhone 5? The top models of the lineup will have a stainless steel frame, unlike the ongoing curved edge design. This also hints on a flat screen, which would have a different in-hand feel when compared to the current curved edge display. A 120 Hz ProMotion screen could also be seen in the top models. The new A14 Bionic Chip will be based on a 5nm architecture and apple would also incorporate the X55 Snapdragon modem for facilitating the 5g connectivity.

Apple Leak Revealed “All-New” iPhone in 2021

iPhone lovers, this exciting news is for you all as Apple is about to launch its brand-new look model of iPhone in 2021. Recently a new leak has emerged that details quite interesting information about Apple’s 2021 plans.

Furthermore, the company Apple is preparing for a stellar year with the Cupertino-based company that intends to launch a large number of phones for consumers with variable budgets.

The most prominent phones for this year will undoubtedly be the iPhone 12; though, the source of profits for Apple will be the iPhone SE2, also known as iPhone 9, as it will be impeccably priced; however, it has the best technology found in the current flagship of the iPhone 11.

While in the fine print of a new report by the well-known Apple member Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple plans to launch a completely new iPhone that will reintroduce Touch ID when placed on the power button. In addition, it will have a next-level design and an economical price.

According to a recent MacRumors statement, Kuo says the new iPhone will break Apple’s long ritual and be introduced in the first half of 2021. It will feature an “almost edge-to-edge design” and a smaller notch due to Face’s exclusion.

While Mr. Kuo states that the Touch ID integrated with the button will be of the capacitive variety like the original Touch ID that was embedded in the Home button and will offer an improved user experience.

Another recently statement shows that MacRumors has obtained an updated report from Ming-Chi Kuo that reveals a success in Apple’s mass production plans for its iPhones, which will also affect the iPhone SE 2 / iPhone 9.

While Kuo says the Coronavirus spread will result in a 10% impact on Apple shipments, a figure that can be conservative, as it points out that smartphone shipments in the Chinese market decreased by up to 60% during the Chinese New Year period due to the Coronavirus outbreak, as such, I would not expect Apple to delay the launch of the iPhone SE2 in March, but I would expect stock levels to be lower than normal, so if this is a phone that interests you, know that when Advance orders open, you will have to move quickly.

According to Kuo, this information seems to be pointing out that Apple is seriously improving its game and could be formulated with the iPhone SE3 or a completely new range of iPhones. We are already excited to know more about this upcoming model which will be launched in 2021. Stay tuned for more updates about it!
