Design iPhone 13: the design of the 2021 iPhones
In September, Apple is expected to announce the latest iPhones, tentatively named iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max . But as always, details are already leaking out before then. We already saw a dummy of the iPhone 13 Pro Max in a video and there have also been rumors about the color of the iPhone 13 Pro. Reason enough to list everything we already know.

Design iPhone 13 models: virtually unchanged
Compared to the iPhone 12 family, you don't have to expect any major changes. Apple adjusted the design on those models for the first time in years on a number of major points, such as the flat sides with the more angular design. That will be no different with the iPhone 13 series.
New dummies show the designs of the four new models. What is most striking is that the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini have a newly designed camera module, where the lenses are diagonally below each other instead of directly below each other. With the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max we see that the camera bump is a lot larger and takes up more than half the width of the device. According to recent rumors, the Pro models will also get larger lenses for better photos. All models would also get the sensor stability, which you now only find in the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
A realistic iPhone 13 Pro concept shows how all the rumors about the design come together. We also see the larger camera lenses and the smaller notch, as predicted for the screen of the 2021 iPhones.

Materials iPhone 13
Like last year, Apple uses multiple materials for the iPhone 13: aluminum, glass and stainless steel. But it depends on the model which material Apple uses for which version. This is expected to be the same as with the iPhone 12 series:
Back Housing (edges) iPhone 13 mini Glass (glossy) Aluminum iPhone 13 Glass (glossy) Aluminum iPhone 13 Pro Glass (matte) Stainless steel iPhone 13 Pro Max Glass (matte) Stainless steel
Specifications iPhone 13 models are still under caveat and based on rumours.
Colors of the iPhone 13: little known yet
There have been few rumors about the colors of the iPhone 13 lately. There have been no reports of the normal iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini at all, but we assume that at least black, white and red of the be a party. Currently, Apple also has purple, blue and green as more cheerful colors next to it and for the iPhone 13 we think Apple will opt for similar colors, perhaps with one or two surprises.
For the iPhone 13 Pro is talk about matte black and a copper orange-ish color. Rumors about colors are often wrong, because purely from the name it is difficult to predict what the color will look like in practice. Currently, Apple has the colors graphite, silver, navy blue and gold for the iPhone 12 Pro (Max). Gold is probably also an option with the iPhone 13 Pro (Max), but graphite would be a lot darker.
