After we got a glimpse of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro, the vast prairies of Chinese social media Weibo spat out the CAD renders of the tiniest sibling in the 2021 iPhone series – the iPhone 13 mini.
While there are a lot of fake renders and wishful thinking circulating on Weibo at any given moment, these CADs line up with the altered rear camera placement that we saw on the iPhone 13 renders. The main and ultrawide cameras seem to have slightly enlarged lenses compared to what’s on their predecessors, and thus may have warranted the new diagonal placement to fit.
New camera, who dis?
If this leak holds water in the end, there will be other, more subtle changes around the iPhone 13 mini as well. The length of the phone may have been slightly shortened which would explain why the larger camera island is tucked even further towards the frame, while the thickness is seemingly increased by a tad.
Hopefully that will mean battery pack improvements but we are not holding our breath for that. Meanwhile, Róbert Hallon from Svetapple managed to craft nifty concept images on how the iPhone 13 mini would look like with the rumored new camera placement, check them out below.
