Speedy In-House Processor Smartphones

This Conceptual iPhone 13 is Powered by the M1 Chip

This conceptual iPhone 13 has been designed by Antonio De Rosa as a rendering of the upcoming smartphone that is likely to be unveiled in the fall and imagines it as a powerful solution with a few unexpected aesthetic changes.

The smartphone is powered by the Apple M1 chip that was first used by the company to power its laptops, but is now being used in the new iPad Pro and even the new iMacs. This would see the smartphone taking a big leap forward when it comes to processing power and would thus accommodate demanding workflows.

The conceptual iPhone 13 also sees the notch eliminated from the display in favor of a physical notch that sticks up from the right side of the smartphone to house the front-facing camera and facial recognition technology.
