"The company upgraded from Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 6 with the iPhone 11 lineup in 2019, which offers significantly improved speeds and security, GizmoChina reported. However, the Wi-Fi 6E brings minimal changes compared to Wi-Fi 6, except for an added 6GHz band. But it should result in increased bandwidth and less interference for devices," the IANS report said.

The report also talks about the upcoming smartphone lineup from Apple adopting LiDAR sensor for the camera module across the lineup. Currently, the iPhone 12 series have a LiDAR sensor but only for the high-end Pro and Pro Max models.

While the company has not revealed anything about the iPhone 13 series, it is speculated that the devices will come with more advanced displays, improved cameras and a smaller notch compared to the current model. A recent survey has revealed that many iPhone users want the upcoming iPhone model to be named 'iPhone 2021' instead of 'iPhone 13'.

According to the survey, a total of 74 per cent of respondents said they hoped "iPhone 13" will be named something else. The respondents also voted for the best potential name, with "iPhone (2021)" taking the top spot with 38 per cent of the vote. Around 26 per cent thought that the "iPhone 13" was the best name and only 13 per cent said that they would like to see the devices called the "iPhone 12S".

In addition to this, there have been leaks on a number of iPhone 13 features. The latest report by TrendForce suggests that the 13 Pro models won’t max out to 1TB of storage, contradicting previous leaks. If this is true, we can expect it to go up to 512GB, much like last year.

Also, the iPhone 13 Pro and the 13 Pro Max are expected to get an LTPO ProMotion screen with support for a 120Hz refresh rate, while the other two models will stick to a 60Hz display. The could be a smaller notch, big rear camera housings, a combination of Face ID and Touch ID to expect, the report noted.
