iPhone 13’s Cheeky New Camera Bump
Rumor‑mongers at MacRumours have dropped fresh schematics on Apple’s latest iPhones, and the result is that the device’s front end will feel a tad “chunkier.” It’s not just a random change—Apple’s chassis is creeping up from 7.4 mm to 7.57 mm, which might be a whisper of a difference to the naked eye.
The Big Bump Breakdown
- iPhone 13: Camera bump 2.51 mm thick
- iPhone 13 Pro: Camera bump 3.65 mm thick
- iPhone 12 & 12 Pro: Camera bump only 1.5‑1.7 mm
So, while the new chassis size might slip under our radar, the bump is sure to show up wherever we look. Think of it as a subtle invitation to keep your front camera focused—no more lenses poking out in the middle of your morning selfie.
Why the Bigger Gear Matters
Apple’s engineers say the added heft in the bump is a deliberate effort to keep the lenses snug and anchored. A thicker cushion means the camera lenses won’t be as prone to jiggling or poking through the glass when you’re snapping that perfect footage.
In short, the iPhone 13 family’s bump is growing— but in a way that keeps the photography experience smooth and glitch‑free.
Eye‑Catching Camera Bumps on the iPhone 13 Series
Apple’s next big surprise is not just the sleek design but the new camera bump that’s been rumoured to tip the scales in a juicy way.
What the Numbers Say
- iPhone 13 bump: 29 mm × 29 mm – a snug, compact shape.
- iPhone 13 Pro bump: 36 mm × 37 mm – a roomy, bold extension.
The size difference hints Apple might be sharing the same camera internals across the Pro and Pro Max models, breaking the trend set by the iPhone 12 series, where spec variations were the norm.
Inside the Hardware Zoo
EverythingApplePro released several CAD drawings last month that point to larger camera dimensions. Meanwhile, MySmartPrice offered a set of digital renderings that showcase a new rear camera layout gunning for that extra pop.
Analyst Ming Chi Kuo publicly predicted that the iPhone 13 Pro Max will still take the crown for the best camera specs in this family line. And keep an eye out: the ultra‑wide lens on the Pro models is set to get a serious upgrade.
When’s the Grand Reveal?
Apple’s slated for a late‑September unveiling of the entire iPhone 13 lineup. That means we’ll soon get the chance to see if the bump-breaking looks match the promised specs.
Pro Tip
Until the official launch, keep your eye on new rumors and CAD updates—Apple loves to keep the community on their toes!
