    Iphone 13 versus Iphone 12: Similarities and differences

    iPhone 13: Until Apple’s marquee event in the fall, the guessing game over the name of the upcoming iPhone family will continue.

    We’ve been referring to the next-gen iPhone family as the iPhone 13 for the sake of continuity; but a recent wave of reports suggest that we may never get an iPhone 13.

    Out of the possible names, iPhone 12S is rumored to be the front-runner for this year’s series.

    A January Bloomberg article citing Apple engineers says only minor upgrades are planned for the upcoming lineup; which will likely be an “S” version of the iPhone 12.

    Frequent leaker Jon Prosser pointed toward an iPhone 12S too.

    We’ve seen Apple use this naming scheme in the past with 2015’s iPhone 6S, which superseded 2014’s iPhone 6; and again with 2018’s iPhone XS, a follow-up to 2017’s iPhone X.

    But if other reports are accurate, there won’t be an iPhone 13 hitting shelves next year either: Apple is expected to leapfrog to the iPhone 14 in 2022; excluding the iPhone 13 from its nomenclature altogether.

    Here’s why.

    The name can be bad for optics
    It’s no secret that the number 13’s association with bad luck has real-world consequences.

    Just ask the property developers who omit the 13th floor from their high-rises, the droves of couples who steer clear of marrying on the 13th; or the psychologists who treat patients for triskaidekaphobia, the fear of the number 13.

    Apple knows this less than favorable perception could scare off customers from buying an iPhone 13, if it ever launched one.

    In the past, Apple hasn’t shied away from branding its products with the number 13; having released the A13 Bionic chipset and iOS 13 software update, for instance.

    This is a higher-stakes branding exercise; however, as we’re talking about a consumer product as opposed to a component or software.

    Plus the iPhone isn’t only Apple’s marquee product; responsible for generating nearly 50% of Apple’s billions of dollars in revenue.

    It’s also one of the most popular consumer products ever.

    iPhone 12S paves the way for a big upgrade
    By going with the iPhone 12S and skipping iPhone 13, Apple could also be setting the stage for a sweeping design overhaul when the iPhone 14; or 15 comes around, just as it did with the iPhone X.
    You may remember Apple skipped on the iPhone 9 name in 2017, instead following-up 2016’s iPhone 7 with the iPhone 8; 8 Plus and iPhone X. And don’t forget that the iPhone X was the one that redefined design standards and paved the way for the modern day iPhone.

    By some accounts, the iPhone 14 or 15 (or whatever Apple decides to call it) is tipped to be the company’s much-awaited entry into the world of foldable smartphones.

    To be clear, we can’t say for certain whether the foldable iPhone will ever see the light of day; but we’re holding out hope that it could happen as early as next year.

    A Bloomberg report, published in January, said Apple already has a working prototype of a foldable iPhone display, but didn’t confirm a launch.

    Other outlets, like Taiwan’s Economic Daily for instance; pinned down 2022 as the year the foldable iPhone comes into fruition.

    Noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo pointed to 2023.

    Until Apple’s fall event, there are no guarantees on what label gets slapped onto this year’s iPhone.
