What you need to know

  • New images appear to show dummy iPhone 13 handsets but they can't be confirmed.
  • Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 13 lineup in September.

New images posted to social media appear to show a white iPhone 13 and white iPhone 13 Pro. Don't get too excited just yet though — they're dummy units.

Apple will announce the new iPhone 13 lineup in September, all being well. That means that dummy units are already floating around manufacturing plants in China with today's images first appearing on Weibo. They were then re-posted to Twitter by DuanRui.

The images appear to show much of what has already leaked including a new, smaller notch on both models and a re-shaped camera bump on the iPhone 13. Beyond that, both of the devices look identical to their iPhone 12 counterparts, which is to be expected. The biggest change we expect out of this year's iPhone refresh is the arrival of a new 120Hz ProMotion display and that isn't something you'll see in a dummy unit.

With Apple just three months away from announcing the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 mini, and iPhone 13 Pro Max the only real question we have revolves around colors. Space Gray, Gold, and Silver are a given, but will we see a return of Midnight Green? Could Pacific Blue hang around another year?

Whatever color Apple offers its new flagships in, we can be sure that the iPhone 13 Pro Max will be the best iPhone yet!
