The outlet pointed to rumors that the rear lenses on the iPhone 13 Pro could be different sizes and be inset in a thicker bump for better stabilization. There could even be portrait mode for videos and better support for taking pictures of the night sky.

Per Bloomberg, there may also be an always-on display and an under-display Touch ID, as well as a faster refresh rate, improved 5G capabilities and a bigger battery.

Those are the rumors compiled by reporters and enthusiasts, but Apple has been teasing some software updates, too, including iMessage away messages, screen-sharing in FaceTime and the capability for the phones’ digital wallets to display users’ driver’s licenses and vaccine information.
