14 DAY TRIAL // Apple is projected to take the wraps off the new iPhone 13 in September this year, and one of the first changes that have been making the headlines lately concerns a new color that could be added to the lineup.
It’s matte black, an option that Apple originally offered on the iPhone 7 and which people really loved.
Renderings created by designer Ian Zelbo and shared on Twitter provide us with an early look at this matte black version of the iPhone 13, though the concepts are based on the iPhone 12 Pro with no other visual changes.

At this point, the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini are offered in five aluminum finishes, namely blue, green, black, white, and (PRODUCT)RED. The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, on the other hand, can be ordered with a choice of four stainless steel versions, including graphite, silver, gold, and pacific blue.
According to people familiar with the matter, the entire iPhone 13 lineup is likely to see the daylight in September this year, as the company wants to avoid any potential delay caused by the global health issue and the lockdowns impacting some of its suppliers.
Last year, Apple launched the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro in October, whereas the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 12 Pro Max hit the shelves in November. The typical September announcement only included the new Apple Watch models.
But this year, Apple is planning everything in advance in an attempt to prevent any potential delays from hitting its iPhone lineup. So the company is reportedly scheduling the unveiling of the new iPhones for September, with sales to then kick off later the same month for all four models included in the lineup, with no delay whatsoever.
