On June 3, MacRumors, a foreign media, introduced a report from Wedbush, a private equity investment company in Los Angeles, USA, which revealed that the iPhone 13 would have a 1TB storage version, and the whole series would be equipped with LiDAR optical radar as standard.
The source of this disclosure is also Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives, who said in his investment report that Apple would release 14 inch and 16 inch versions of MacBook Pro in WWDC on June 8.
The rumor of the 1TB version of the iPhone has been going on since 2019. However, the iPhone 12 series with the highest storage capacity of 512GB still disappoints everyone. Now Apple only has 1TB storage version on iPad Pro and Mac.
In the face of increasingly "fat" apps and the ProRAW format appearing on the iPhone 12 Pro series, mobile devices are indeed in need of breaking 512GB. But considering the price of 1TB memory chip, the top configuration price of iPhone 13 Pro Max should be much more expensive than that of 12 Pro Max.
LiDAR optical radar is the abbreviation of light detection and ranging, which is mainly used to improve weak light focusing ability and AR augmented reality. However, I think the most practical function is that it allows mobile devices to replace rulers for simple space measurement.
Apple's LiDAR optical radar first appeared on the 2020 iPad Pro, followed by the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max. Considering Apple's investment in AR in the past two years and the rumored release of AR glasses Apple Glasses in 2022, it is also expected that all the iPhone 13 series will support LiDAR.
However, it is also the iPhone 13 CAD drawing disclosed on June 3. It seems that there is no place reserved for LiDAR optical radar in the diagonally arranged double camera matrix (the hole in the upper right corner should be a flash, and the hole in the lower left corner should be a microphone). The atmosphere is immediately embarrassed.
