Apple's next-gen iPhones are said to be launched soon. The iPhone 13 could be announced as soon as next month. While we wait for the iPhone 13 lineup, the iPhone 12 is still selling like hotcakes. However, if you are in the market for a new iPhone, we recommend you take a step back and wait for the launch of the new 2021 iPhones. It is not just because of new features - that's a given. Here's why you should control your urge to buy the current iPhone 12 - it's all about the money!

A new report from TrendForce claims that the iPhone 12 prices could drop down to the current iPhone 11 prices with the launch of the iPhone 13. As per the report, you can expect the iPhone 13 series to start at $699 with the iPhone 13 mini. The iPhone 13 price could start at $799, whereas the iPhone 13 Pro could cost $999. Further, the iPhone 13 Pro Max could start at $1,099.

As a result, the iPhone 12 price could be slashed to just $599 (64GB), $649 (128GB) and $749 (256GB), while the iPhone 11 might fall to current iPhone XR prices of $499 (64GB) and $549 (128GB).

Therefore, if you are waiting to get a new iPhone, you should wait a little bit longer. The next-gen iPhones might not be for you, given the price, but you can get buy the iPhone 12 at far lower prices once the iPhone 13 launches. Thereby, you end up saving a lot of money.

As for the iPhone 13, Apple is tipped to be adopting an LTPO display to offer a 120Hz high refresh rate on the iPhone 13 Pro series. On the other hand, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini are said to make do with the 60Hz refresh rate. The 2021 iPhones are said to feature a new camera setup with support for a video portrait mode that will allow users to blur the background of the footage. Further, we could see a smaller notch size. Apple could also push fast charging to 25W with the upcoming iPhone.

Expected Apple iPhone 13 prices:

iPhone 13 Mini - $699 (64GB), $749 (128GB), $849 (256GB)

iPhone 13 - $799 (64GB), $849 (128GB), $949 (256GB)

iPhone 13 Pro - $999 (128GB), $1099 (256GB), $1299 (512GB)

iPhone 13 Pro Max - $1099 (128GB), $1199 (256GB), $1399 (512GB)
