iPhone 13 will probably never show up

It wasn’t until autumn when Apple held a new product launch event that rumors of the next generation iPhone came to an end. This time, the name of the product is a controversial issue. If in the past, Apple often named products according to the trend “tik-tok”, ie a standard version, then an S version, such as iPhone 4-4S, 5-5S, 6-6S. In recent years, the company has abandoned this naming scheme with iPhone X, iPhone 11 and then iPhone 12.

According to that rule, it can be predicted that Apple will name the iPhone 2021 iPhone 13. However, Cnet believes This is not an ideal name for a new product.

In many countries, the number 13 is associated with bad luck. Many large buildings have removed the 13th floor to replace it with the 12A floor as an example. 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.

Generation iPhone 12 has 4 versions including 12 mini, 12, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max.

iPhone is a global product, generating about 50% of Apple’s revenue each quarter. Apple certainly does not want its customers because they are “afraid of the number 13” and ignore their latest product.

Therefore, the most reasonable judgment is that Apple will launch the iPhone 12S this year, omitting the number 13 to continue with the iPhone 14 or 15 for 2022. A Bloomberg article in January, citing Apple engineers say 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 – special editions to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the iPhone. People didn’t see the iPhone 9 at all.

Therefore, if Apple skips the iPhone 13 to launch a special iPhone 14, it is not a surprise. That particular iPhone could be the foldable iPhone version that many people speculate recently. Coincidentally, sources from the component supply chain also confirmed that Apple will launch a foldable iPhone around 2022 or 2023.

Regarding the iPhone 2021 generation, Apple is said to use a larger battery by saving space inside the machine with new components, improving the camera, especially the ultra-wide tube, equipped with a new generation chip. , and at the same time shrink the top screen of the device.

Event launch iPhone new generation can take place in September or October this year.
