以下是一些传言和报道的iPhone细节：
• Apple's new iPhone series will be named iPhone 13 and will have four models, similar to the previous iteration: a 6.7-inch Pro Max, a 6-1-inch Pro and iPhone 13 base models with 5.4-inch and 6.1-inch screen sizes, according to China's Economic Daily News.
• The majority of assembly for the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max will be handled by $HON HAI PRECISIN(HNHPF.US)$.
• Assembly duties for the smaller variant — the iPhone 13 mini — will be shared by Pegatron and Foxconn, according to Digitimes. The mini variant is said to be headed for a phase out out after the iPhone 13 series.
• The case size for the iPhone 13 Pro shows a significantly larger cameral module for the high-end Phone, MacRumors said, citing an image shared on a Weibo account.
• Apple chip suppliers $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd(TSM.US)$, Genesys Logic and Parade Technologies are all working overtime to keep up with commitments, Digitimes reported.
·据《中国经济日报》报道，苹果的新iPhone系列将命名为iPhone 13，将有四款机型，与上一代类似：6.7英寸的Pro Max，6-1英寸的Pro和iPhone 13的基础机型，屏幕尺寸分别为5.4英寸和6.1英寸。·iPhone 13 Pro和Pro Max的大部分组装将由$鸿海PRECISIN(HNHPF.US)$.·根据DigiTimes的消息，较小的机型--迷你iPhone 13--的组装工作将由和硕和富士康分担。据说这款迷你手机在iPhone13系列之后即将被淘汰。·麦克拉莫斯(MacRumors)援引微博账户上分享的一张图片称，iPhone 13 Pro的外壳尺寸显示，这款高端手机的摄像头模块要大得多。·苹果芯片供应商$台积电制造有限公司(TSM.US)$、Genesys Logic和Parade Technologies都是加班工作据DigiTimes报道，为了跟上承诺的步伐。
• This suggests the new iPhone series remains on track for a September launch. TSMC reportedly started production of Apple's proprietary A15 bionic chip, meant for the iPhone 13, in late May.
• Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives is expecting a launch timeframe in the third week of September, but suggested continued model tweaks could delay the launch by two or three weeks.
The iPhone 13 will likely have a 1-terabyte storage option, double that of the current highest Pro storage capacity, Ives said.
The upcoming iPhone series, he said, will also include a number of enhancements, with Lidar across all iPhone 13 models.
Citing initial Asia supply chain build data, which numbered about 100 million units in early March compared to 80 million units for the iPhone 12 during the same period, Ives said the 5G-driven product cycle will extend well into 2022 and should also benefit from a post-vaccine consumer reopening environment.
·这表明新款iPhone系列仍将按计划在9月发布。据报道，台积电于5月下旬开始生产苹果专有的A15仿生芯片，该芯片用于iPhone13。·韦德布什分析师丹尼尔·艾夫斯(Daniel Ives)期待发射时间表为9月第三周，但暗示持续的机型调整可能会将发射推迟两三周。艾夫斯说，iPhone13可能会有1TB的存储选项，是目前最高Pro存储容量的两倍。他说，即将发布的iPhone系列还将包括一些增强功能，所有iPhone 13机型都可以使用激光雷达。艾夫斯援引亚洲供应链建设的初步数据称，5G驱动的产品周期将延长到2022年，也应该会受益于疫苗后消费者重新开放的环境。3月初，亚洲供应链建设数据约为1亿部，而同期iPhone 12的销量为8000万部。
