9 Reasons to Wait for the iPhone 13 & 7 Reasons Not To

Don't Wait for a Major Redesign

If you don't like the look and feel of the iPhone 12 series, don't wait around for the iPhone 13. 

While we'll likely see design tweaks, we probably won't see Apple deploy a full on redesign in 2021.

Several iPhone 13 design leaks, including the 3D renders from MySmartPrice, point to the iPhone 13 series looking similar to the iPhone 12 series. This includes the overall size of the devices. 

According to MacRumors, who say they've seen potential iPhone 13 schematics, the iPhone 13 models will be slightly thicker than the iPhone 12 models with "larger, thicker camera bumps with lenses that protrude less."

New iPhone 13 dummy units from Sonny Dickson showcase a new position for the camera bump on the iPhone 13‌ and ‌iPhone 13‌ mini. The camera bump on the iPhone 13 Pro Max model is "slightly larger."

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman also says the iPhone 13 series will utilize a design that's similar to their predecessors. 

We recommend going hands-on with the iPhone 12 series. If you aren't a fan of the overall design, you'll want to start looking at alternatives.
