In some of the images (above) leaked by DuanRui, a navy iPhone 13 case has been put on an iPhone 12. The most noticeable thing about the iPhone 13 case on the iPhone 12 is how much bigger the cameras are getting this year. Additionally, the leaked cases confirm the diagonal arrangement of the rear cameras for the iPhone 13 and 13 mini.

The leaker measured the camera lens gaps in the case, revealing that the diameter of each of the iPhone 13 rear camera lenses is around 15.32mm, which is close to 2mm bigger than the iPhone 12/12 mini’s camera diameter of around 13.83mm. The overall camera housing size is increasing as a result of this.

Meanwhile, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is getting a significantly bigger camera module this year. Each of the three lenses is greatly increasing in size. This is especially visible when a case for the iPhone 13 Pro is placed upon an iPhone 12 Pro.

Another interesting thing to note about the leaked images is that the volume buttons and silent switch are being lowered slightly. The leaked image below shows an iPhone 12 in an iPhone 13 case, where the Volume Up button is spilling into the gap for the silent switch.

The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro models are reportedly on schedule for release this September, but there is still much speculation about what new features we can expect for this iPhone. As we get closer to launch, more features and details are likely to leak.

Here are some general expectations for the latest iPhone 13:

Design: The iPhone 13 is likely to feature a design that is similar to its predecessor, the iPhone 12, with a glass front and back and a metal frame. It may come in multiple color options.
Display: Expect improvements in the display technology, possibly with a higher refresh rate (120Hz or more) for smoother scrolling and animations. The size and resolution of the display may vary depending on the model (regular iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max).
Processor: Apple is likely to introduce a new, more powerful chip, possibly called the A15 Bionic or something similar, which will provide better performance and energy efficiency compared to previous models.
Camera: Apple typically enhances the camera system with each new iPhone release. The iPhone 13 may include improvements in low-light photography, AI enhancements, and possibly more advanced camera features.
Battery Life: Expect improvements in battery life, thanks to more power-efficient components and software optimizations.
Storage: The base storage capacity is likely to start at 128GB, with options for higher capacities.
5G Connectivity: The iPhone 13 is expected to continue supporting 5G connectivity for faster data speeds.
iOS: The iPhone 13 will come with the latest version of Apple’s operating system, which would have been released around the same time.
MagSafe: It’s likely that the iPhone 13 will continue to support MagSafe, which allows for magnetic accessories like cases and chargers to be easily attached to the phone.
Price: Pricing for the iPhone 13 models will vary depending on the specific configuration and model (mini, regular, Pro, or Pro Max).

Please keep in mind that these are general expectations based on Apple’s typical release patterns.
