According to Mr. Kuo, the iPhone 13 lineup consists of the same four models as the iPhone 12. It is reported that sales of the iPhone 12 mini are sluggish, but at least the iPhone 13 mini is likely to be prepared.
And the iPhone 13 continues to use the Lightning port. Since the iPad Pro and MacBook use a USB-C port, it was said that the iPhone would soon adopt a USB-C port. However, Kuo predicts that at least the iPhone 13 will not have a USB-C port.
Kuo also suggests that iPhones released after 2022 may be 'portless iPhones' that are limited to wireless charging using MagSafe.

In addition, the 2nd generation iPhone SE and 4th generation iPad Air that appeared in 2020 have Touch ID, but Mr. Kuo said, 'For now, as far as the schedule is concerned, Apple has Touch ID on the power button. It is unlikely that it will be prepared, 'he said, saying that it is unlikely that Touch ID will be adopted in future iPhones.
In addition, Mr. Kuo suggests that a foldable iPhone with a 7.5 to 8 inch foldable display may appear in 2023. However, the foldable iPhone development project itself is in its infancy, and it's quite possible that it won't happen, Kuo said.
