The launch of the iPhone 13 series is getting closer and according to the usually well-informed Bloomberg-jounalist Mark Gurman Apple is going to introduce several new features. Gurman claims that the most expensive iPhone 13 models will get an always-on screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz for the first time. Furthermore, the devices would be equipped with batteries with more capacity, so that the new functions will not have a negative influence on the battery life.

Apple would have equipped the iPhone 13 Pro (Max) with an always-on mode that is similar in functionality to the Apple Watch. On recent Apple Watch models, the display can remain on with a lower brightness and variable refresh rate, allowing users to see their watch face at any time. The iPhone 13 Pro models can therefore also continuously display the time, date and notifications on the screen. This would be made possible by means of the LTPO technology that displays the OLED display at a low brightness, so that it has no significant impact on the battery life.
The new screen of the iPhone 13 Pro would also allow a refresh rate of 120Hz. There have been rumors for years that Apple wants to bring its 120Hz ProMotion technology from the iPad to the iPhone, but that has still not happened to date. In 2021, this feature would finally be introduced on the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max. The high-end Android smartphones of the competition have had such a feature for some time.
In addition to the improved performance, more advanced displays and improved cameras, dummy models of the upcoming iPhone 13 series that virtually nothing will change in terms of design. Apple launched a new design for the iPhone 12 series last year, and the iPhone 13 will build on that design. The iPhone 13 models will be heavier than their predecessors because of the larger batteries and new screens.
