A new Mac Otakara report, citing the Chinese supply chain, claims that the iPhone 13 models will sport the same design as the iPhone 12 series. This means we can expect a boxy design with flat edges.

The other two models, namely the iPhone 13, and the iPhone 13 Pro, are likely to feature a 6.1-inch display.
