A leaker says 'iPhone 13' may have a smaller notch.

Apple's iPhone 12 is not officially launched yet but it already has a semblance of being old due to the persistent rumors and leaks about the 'iPhone 13.' The recent one has something to do about its notch which a Twitter account called Ice Universe says is shorter or reduced compared to previous versions.

Rumors indicate that Apple engineers are currently working on the new 'iPhone 13' though it is not due until the last quarter of 2021 and even as the rumored iPhone 12 is set for launch on October 13 yet in Apple's 'Hi, Speed' event. Ice Universe also tweeted a drawing comparing the notch of current iPhones with the smaller notch of the 'iPhone 13.'

Leaks occur, particularly with exciting devices, even during the early stages of the development of a product. This does not mean, however, that leaks are permanent as the subject of the leak could easily change as the device nears completion. The same is true for the supposed smaller notch on the rumored 'iPhone 13.'

The simple tweet of Ice Universe suggests that the rumored 'iPhone 13' will feature a smaller notch. The Twitter account then followed up the original tweet with a graphic illustration of what Ice Universe meant by smaller or 'shorter.'

The follow-up tweet of Ice Universe shows a drawing that illustrates two types of notches, the first one showing an indentation that features a deeper dent while the second has a shallower depression. The illustration also displays the number 12 on the first notch, which may indicate the iPhone 12, while the second and smaller notch shows the number 13, which suggests the future model, 'iPhone 13.'

The entire tweet started the talks about the 'iPhone 13' having a smaller notch. Although no one knows if it is already a fact since the rumored iPhone 13 is not due until the last quarter of 2021. Ice Universe says the notch will have the same width across the screen of the 'iPhone 13' but on the overall will have less height. Such change may provide the user with more vertical space, though as to how much will the smaller notch makes a difference on the iPhone 13 remains unclear.

Before the account's tweet regarding a smaller notch on the rumored 'iPhone 13,' Ice Universe also has previously shared Apple-related leaks. These include the rumored benchmarks of the A14 and some information about the 120Hz refresh rate on iPhone displays.
