The iPhone 13 is still months away from release but we're beginning to learn lots about the new series of handsets, including the iPhone 13 Pro, thanks to a variety of new iPhone leaks and rumors.
Don't expect the iPhone 13 until September 2021 at the earliest, and even that release date is up in the air a little this year thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic and the impact it has had on Apple's business.
We have an increasingly good idea of what to expect from the new iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Leaks and rumors keep rolling in, revealing everything from the likely release date to the probable design, specs and features.
These include things like upgraded cameras and a 120Hz refresh rate screen, plus a more powerful chipset, but with a design that's similar to the iPhone 12 range. There is a small chance these phones may not launch under the iPhone 13 name too, so an iPhone 12S could also be a possibility.
Want the full picture of the iPhone 13 leaks so far? You'll find it below where we run you through each element of the upcoming phones with everything we know so far. Plus, you can expect this article to be consistently updated with all the latest new iPhone news and rumors.

iPhone 13 release date
When will you be able to buy a new iPhone for yourself? We expect the iPhone 13 release date to be in September 2021, and it's most likely to be the third or fourth Friday of the month (which makes it September 17 or 24).
That is subject to change, mostly due to the Covid-19 pandemic. For the last 10 years, Apple has almost always introduced its flagship phones at an event near the start of September and released the phones 10 days later. All that changed in 2020, due to the pandemic, and the phones were delayed beyond their usual window.
The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro were pushed back to October, and the other two devices – the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max – were released in November.
