iPhone13 Dummy unit tease new oblique camera with smaller notch

The launch of the new iPhone 13 is approaching, and new photos of dummy models have appeared on the Chinese social media site Weibo. These photos show both Pro and non-Pro models, with the latter featuring the long-rumored diagonal camera lens layout.

The images show a smaller notch, which has been rumored for some time. This means that Apple has scaled back the Face ID technology and moved the earpiece. Given how obsolete the notch design has become, some change in that regard is something to look forward to.

If you can't get to the Weibo link, Twitter user DuanRui re-shared the photos on his account. For once, the photos are decent and show the dummy units in good detail. Both units are from what the original Weibo user calls a reliable source. This third party appears to have created an accurate iPhone 12 dummy unit last year, giving credence to the iPhone 13 images.

These images come just after the previous dummy unit we saw a few days ago. There is nothing new from the back, but this new batch of pictures shows the alleged small notch.

Besides what these dummy units show, we expect several other significant upgrades in the iPhone 13. These include a 120Hz ProMotion display with an always-on option on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, and sensor-shift image stabilization for the entire lineup. All four iPhone 13s should also offer the new, faster A15 Bionic chip, along with an enhanced 5G modem.

Other rumors suggest that the iPhone 13 Pro model will feature an ultra-wide camera with autofocus, a wider aperture, and improved lens distortion. All of this means that the iPhone 13 Pro's ultrawide photography capabilities are expected to be impressive. And to keep up with its closest Android photography rival, we hear that Apple may introduce an astrophotography mode and portrait mode for video to compete with Google's Pixels.
