It is predicted that Apple will apply ‘one terabyte (TB)’capacity, which is twice as large as its predecessor, to ‘iPhone 13 (tentative name)’ this year. Citing a report from Wedbush Securities in the U.S., major foreign media such as 9to5Mac reported on the 21st (local time) that the iPhone 13 series is currently in the final development 폰테크 stage and that a 1TB(1024GB) storage option will be provided to the high-end “Pro” model.
If the report is true, it will be twice as big as the previous one. The iPhone 12 series, which was released in the second half of last year, supports up to 512GB internal capacity. The basic iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini are △64GB △ 128GB △ 256GB storage capacity, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Promax are △ 128GB △ 256GB △ 512GB.
Apple has never provided 1TB internal capacity to the iPhone. The 512GB option, which is currently the highest capacity, has been maintained since it was introduced on the iPhone XS in 2018. The industry analyzed that Apple tends to double its maximum storage capacity every two years, adding to this year’s 1TB loading rumor. Rival Samsung Electronics’latest flagship smartphone ” Galaxy S21″ series also has a maximum capacity of 512GB. Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21+ (plus) are provided at 256GB, Galaxy S21 Ultra at 256GB and 512GB.
The rumor that iPhone 13 is equipped with 1TB storage has been raised repeatedly since last year. Famous IT Tipster (information leakage) John Proser said earlier this year, “Apple is testing up to 1TB capacity prototype” and claimed that 1TB-class internal capacity will be applied to the iPhone 13 Pro line.
On the other hand, market research firm TrendForce countered last month, predicting that the iPhone 13, which will come out this year, will maintain the same storage option as its predecessor. Wed Bush Securities refutes the rumor that 1TB will be installed in all models of iPhone 13 (LiDAR) sensors are expected to be applied.
In addition, there are various predictions from the industry about the iPhone 13. The next iPhone will have fewer “natches”like a dent at the top of the screen, and the sensor shift stabilization technology, which was exclusively for the iPhone 12 Promax, is expected to expand to the entire series. Also, various upgrades such as A15 Bionic Chepset, reverse wireless charging (wireless battery sharing), and battery capacity expansion are expected.
Like its predecessor, the next iPhone will be released in four types: △ 6.1-inch iPhone 13 △ 5.4-inch iPhone 13 mini △ 6.1-inch iPhone 13 Pro △ 6.7-inch iPhone 13 Promax. Wedbush predicted that the new iPhone will be released in the third week of September, considering the Apple event date in the past.
