Apple has finally announced the iPhone 13 launch event. While several leaks have hinted at what we can look forward to. Apple is expected to introduce a number of new features, including a higher refresh rate to better cameras on the 2021 iPhones. The iPhone 13 launch event is titled "California Streaming.” Apple hasn't revealed what's coming in the invite. However, we can expect it to announce the next-gen iPhones -- the iPhone 13 series. The Apple event will take place online on September 14at 10 am PDT, or 10.30 pm IST.

Apple is tipped to introduce a 120Hz ProMotion display on the iPhone 13 series at the launch event. The current Apple offerings are stuck in the past as they come with a 60Hz refresh rate. If the rumours are to be believed, Apple is adopting an LTPO display to offer a 120Hz high refresh rate on the iPhone 13 Pro series. Hence, the vanilla iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini are said to miss out on the feature. Moreover, the latter two devices are expected to offer a better battery life, while the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max battery life might take a hit due to the 120Hz refresh rate.

The iPhone 13 series is rumoured to come with a new ProRes video-recording feature that will let users capture clips in a higher-quality format. Hence, giving editors more control during post-production. Additionally, you could better control the look of colours and highlights in your pictures. The feature will differ from standard filters. For the unaware, portrait mode allows you to put a person in sharp focus while blurring the background.

Further, we could see a smaller notch on the iPhone 13 series. Apple is rumoured to shrink the notch size on the iPhone 13 lineup. It is said that the TrueDepth camera will be shallower. It is because the receiver at the top of the display is tipped to be relocated to the edge of the case.

Aside from the iPhone 13 lineup, Apple is also tipped to launch the Watch Series 7, new iPad and AirPods. This is all we know ahead of the September 14 Apple launch event.
