What you need to know
The iPhone 13 and its siblings are likely to be among the most popular smartphones of 2021, though they might not launch under that name, with the iPhone 12S also being a possibility.
While we’re not expecting the phones to land until September, we could soon have a good idea of the software they’ll run, as WWDC 2021 kicks off on June 7 and we’re expecting iOS 15 to be the star of the show. Here’s how to watch the iOS 15 launch event live.
As for the hardware, we have an increasingly good idea of what to expect from the new iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max. New leaks and rumors keep rolling in, revealing everything from the likely release date to the probable design, specs, and features.
These include things like upgraded cameras and a 120Hz refresh rate, plus a more powerful chipset, but with a design that’s similar to the iPhone 12 range.
You’ll find full details of all that and more below, and make sure to check back here regularly if you’re interested in the iPhone 13, as we’re keeping this article constantly updated with all the latest news and rumors.

iPhone 13 release date
When will you be able to buy a new iPhone for yourself? We expect the iPhone 13 release date to be set for September 2021, but that may be subject to change given the Covid-19 pandemic.
For the last 10 years, Apple has almost always introduced its flagship phones at an event near the start of September and released the phones 10 days later. All that changed in 2020, due to the pandemic and the phones were delayed beyond their usual window.
The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro were pushed back to October, and the other two devices – the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max – were released in November, reportedly due to a lack of parts for the manufacturing process.
We’d normally expect Apple to keep to that September window, but apparently, the 2020 delay resulted in increased sales for the phones. That may mean Apple decides to keep to this new window, but that isn’t yet clear.
Another analyst has since said similar, with the iPhone 13 range apparently going on sale in the third week of September – meaning an announcement earlier in the month. However, one or more models might not hit stores until October.
If we were betting on a date, we’d expect Apple to move its iPhone 13 release date back to September 2021, and indeed at least one well-respected Apple analyst agrees with us.
Before 2020, Apple has often announced its new iPhones on either the first or second Tuesday of September. If that happens again in 2021, we’d expect them to be revealed on September 7 or September 14.
September 7 seems early in the month for Apple to reveal them, but the company did use that date in 2016 to reveal the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. We’d then expect the iPhone 13 release date to be 10 days later, so either September 17 or September 24.
The iPhone 13 range is seemingly on track for a September launch too, as we’ve elsewhere heard that its chipset will start shipping to Apple by the end of May. That’s actually supposedly ahead of schedule, as the goal was apparently for it to enter production by the end of May. That’s all relevant because the iPhone 12’s didn’t enter production until late June of last year.
A more recent report from late May suggests the chipset is now entering mass production – suggesting it might not be ahead of schedule anymore but should still be on schedule.

Apple iPhone 13 price in India
Little is known about the price of the iPhone 13, but we’d expect it to be at a similar level to the iPhone 12 family. Those handsets cost more than the 2019 phones – the iPhone 11 series – but that’s because of the addition of 5G and a few other technical elements.
We’ll be sure to include more 2021 iPhone price leaks and rumors as we hear them, but below you can see the prices for the iPhone 12 series that we’re relatively confident will be similar to the iPhone 13.
