Without 10x zoom, the iPhone 13 is dead in the water! Also, the notch is ridiculous!

    beep bop boop, 26 Mar 2021Always has been. the dumbest implementation of face unlock ... moreIris scanner is not a bad idea. I've been using it on my current Microsoft Lumia 950 and it does work beautifully well, even when I'm using my spectacle.

      YUKI93, 26 Mar 2021Lol, you can't even use facial recognition when you ar... moreAlways has been. the dumbest implementation of face unlock was on the Pixel 4/4XL where it would unlock WITH YOUR EYES SHUT! speaking of which, i think Samsung should come back with Iris scanner, what do u think?

        Dani2018, 26 Mar 2021Android remove the notch because they couldnt make face id... moreLol, you can't even use facial recognition when you are wearing a mask during these pandemic times. So fingerprint scanner is still the best ideal solution.

          Ayan Crownyse, 26 Mar 2021Well... in a way it IS for iPhones. but it's not a new... moreTouchID is still better than the fingerprint scanners found in android phones... just a fact

            TouchID was already the best biometric lock in a smartphone, so happy to see them bringing it back (hopefully) and i hope they get rid of the chrome on the side rails and make it matte...oh and it looks like an S7T from the front and i cant unsee it. very excited for this phone, will look forward to it

              Dani2018, 26 Mar 2021Android remove the notch because they couldnt make face id... morenah, fps is much better.

                I won't be surprised if it doesn't change at all.

                  Android remove the notch because they couldnt make face id work as apple do. Pixel try it and no such of good smooth and they remove it. Huawei p40 pro try it also no success . The face id of apple is the best and even they reduce the notch smaller it will be still existing on the new iphone .

                    Anonymous, 26 Mar 2021I've heard this rumor about shrinking the iPhone notch... moreImagine being stuck with the same ugly design for 4 years in a row...

                            Anonymous, 26 Mar 2021I thought 12 Pro already used ToF for background blur. They do???

                            The LiDAR scanner is serving as a ToF sensor too when not used with AR apps.

                                Hm~ So it gets better... I do wonder how will the A15 fare... RAM I assume will stay 4GB for 13 and 13 Mini... and 6GB for Pro and Pro max... OR IS IT TIME FOR 6 AND 8????

                                I am happy though to have the TouchID back and kicking... Let's see what will happen~ ovo

                                  Once a notch, always a notch.

                                        Really hope Apple shrinks the notch on the iPhone 13 and use 120Hz displays for the Pro models. The notch is hideous and obtrusive on the iPhone 12 mini, but looks fine on the Pro Max as it is a large screen phone. No word on USB-C port.
