Bloomberg reports that Apple is testing an in-display fingerprint sensor for the iPhone 13, but it will be an additional option: Face ID will remain, as the 3D sensor is useful for Animoji and augmented reality too, not just security.

In-display sensors have been hit-or-miss in Android phones, but Apple has a long history of waiting to implement technologies until the rough edges have been worn smooth. Whether we see it in the iPhone 13 will probably depend on if Apple thinks that has happened or not. A Barclays analyst has since echoed the report about an in-display sensor, so the rumour is gaining steam.

Apple could also reportedly remove the charging port, suggests Bloomberg, given wider acceptance of wireless charging and also the iPhone 12’s addition of the MagSafe magnetically-attachable wireless charger. Speaking of MagSafe: Weinbach suggests that stronger magnets will be used for the iPhone 13, perhaps easing the complaints of snap-on attachments coming free.

Wedbush analysts (via 9to5Mac), citing supply chain sources, also believe that a 1TB storage option will be available for the iPhone 13 line, although it’s not clear whether it’s expected only for the Pro models or all of them. Currently, the Pro models max out at 512GB while the iPhone 12 and Mini top out at 256GB.

Believe it or not, there are already rumours about 2022’s iPhones, too. TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo first suggests that there will be a new 5G-capable iPhone SE in early 2022, one that keeps the current iPhone 8-based design with a faster processor and 5G support. Furthermore, Kuo believes that the iPhone 14 will switch to a punch-hole display like many top Android phones, at least with the Pro models if not all of them. The phones are expected to boast improved front-facing cameras along with the redesign, including better autofocus capabilities.
