A new report has reiterated the launch timeline of Apple's next iPhone. The iPhone 13 could be launched as soon as next month. Apple is said to have the iPhone 13 representing 35 to 45 per cent of the total iPhone production in the third quarter of this year. The September launch event will not only feature the iPhone 13 but also a wide range of devices from the company. Apple could also announce its Watch Series 7, AirPods 3 and the iPad mini 6.

The iPhone 13 series is said to be announced in the third week of September according to a new report from MacRumors. As per the report, the iPhone 13 Pro models will have a 1TB storage option. The next-gen iPhones are tipped to finally catch up with their Android counterparts and feature a 120Hz high refresh rate. There are some contradicting reports, however, which claim that the high refresh rate could be limited to the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Apple is said to be using LTPO displays on its upcoming phones.

Moreover, the iPhone 13 lineup could feature a new design on the front. While the overall look and feel is rumoured to remain the same, we could see a smaller notch. That being said, there is no hope for the return of TouchID. Plus, the 2021 iPhones could sport a better camera system that will have support for video portrait mode to blur the background in videos. Apple is tipped to be prepping to produce 130–150 million iPhone units in the second half of the year. The iPhone 13 lineup might come with a laser imaging, detection, and ranging (LiDAR) sensor as well. For reference, the LiDAR sensor is limited to the iPhone 12 Pro models as of now.

Separately, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman shared a roundup coverage of Apple's next-gen hardware. The report goes on to say the iPhone 13 won't be the lone hardware at the launch event as the company could also announce the Apple Watch Series 7, the iPad mini 6 and the AirPods 3. All of these devices have been in the rumour mill for quite some time now.
