The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro were officially unveiled yesterday, containing the new A15 chip, camera upgrades, and more. Head down below as we put together some of the latest information, including details on packaging changes, battery percentage, and RAM amounts …
Packaging changes
One interesting change with the iPhone 13 lineup this year is that Apple has redesigned the packaging. Apple vice president of marketing Greg Joswiak said Apple was able to “redesign the packaging” to eliminate the plastic wrap on the outside. This change alone is expected to eliminate 600 tonnes of plastic, according to Apple.
More specific information here remains unclear, so we’ll have to wait and get our hands on the iPhone 13 to learn more about how Apple has redesigned the iPhone.
Also as a reminder, Apple last year stopped including a power brick in the box with iPhone purchases. So in the iPhone 13 box you’ll find the iPhone itself alongside a USB-C to Lightning charging cable. If you don’t already have one, you’ll need to purchase a USB-C charging brick separately.
No battery percentage in the status bar
While the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro have a notch that’s roughly 20% smaller in width, Apple still hasn’t added the once-beloved battery percentage indicator to the status bar. Instead, it’s always hidden in Control Center, so you’ll have to swipe up from the top right corner to access the battery percentage.
In fact, Apple has had the option of adding battery percentage to Max models in previous years and has chosen not to. This means that there is probably little chance that the battery percentage will ever return to the status bar, with probably a conscious decision to remove it in the first place.
RAM for iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro
Apple does not announce the amounts of RAM of the iPhone, but information in Xcode marked by MacRumors reveals that the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini contain 4GB of RAM, while the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max contain 6GB of RAM. It’s the same as the iPhone 12 lineup’s RAM last year.
As a reminder, pre-orders for the iPhone 13 will begin Friday, September 17 at 5 a.m. PT / 8 a.m.ET. The first orders will then arrive to buyers on Friday, September 24.
