5 Surprising iPhone 13 details that Apple didn’t tell us about at its event.

Another year, another brand new iPhone to contemplate buying. Apple earlier this week officially took the wraps off the iPhone 13, the company’s next-gen smartphone. And while new iPhone releases these days typically offer incremental improvements, the iPhone 13 is nonetheless a compelling upgrade. The list of iPhone 13 features is extensive and includes a significantly more powerful camera system and incredibly impressive battery life. Still, it was a busy event for Apple and the company, as is often the case, didn’t have time to divulge every single iPhone 13 detail worth sharing. And with good reason, not every iPhone 13 detail is something Apple necessarily wants to draw attention to. With that said, below are six iPhone 13 tidbits you’ll probably want to be aware of before making the upgrade leap.

iPhone 13 notch is taller: Apple noted that the iPhone 13 notch is smaller than it is on the iPhone 12. This is true, but Apple didn’t mention that the iPhone 13 notch is slightly taller. It’s arguably a negligible difference, but perhaps worth bringing to light. We’ll know for sure once the iPhone 13 actually arrives, but rumor has it that the new notch is 26.8mm wide and 5.35mm tall. This compares to the iPhone 12 notch that is 34.83mm wide and 5.3mm tall. The battery percentage indicator isn’t coming back: While arguably less of an issue given that battery life on the iPhone 13 is vastly improved, it would be nice if the battery percentage indicator returned with iOS 15. Especially now that the notch is markedly less wide, there’s definitely room for it. Alas, it’s definitely not happening. iPhone 13 Pro has a more powerful GPU than the regular iPhone 13: According to some Geekbench scores, the iPhone 13 Pro GPU performance is significantly better than the iPhone 12 Pro. Specifically, performance jumped by nearly 55%. On a related note, it’s worth highlighting that the GPU on the iPhone 13 Pro is more powerful than the regular iPhone 13.
