Massive Apple iPhone 13 redesign confirmed

Although official lips will probably be sealed until at least September, a tidal wave of rumours has already given us a tantalising glimpse at the upcoming iPhone 13.

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 13 will be the first iPhone to feature a reduced notch. First introduced on 2017's iPhone X, the notch is often considered a blight on the supposedly all-screen design of contemporary iPhones. Indeed, anything that frees up precious pixels for the best iPhone apps can only be a good thing.
