iPhone 13 is the name under which many people believe that Apple will launch the new phone model in the fall of this year, but the information that keeps coming in about it shows us that other surprises await us. More precisely, it seems that the novelties that the phones in the fall will bring will be so small that iPhone 13 would not be the name that Apple would like to use, but in fact iPhone 12S would be the one that we will see used for the new models.
iPhone 12S would be used as a name not only because Apple would not want to make important upgrades for its new phones, but also because Americans would like to avoid the name iPhone 13. The figure itself would be considered by analysts as one which will be avoided by Apple, just as other companies have existed to use it for their products, so the iPhone 12S would be the choice of the Americans, the letter S being used in the past for phones.
iPhone 13: Why would it be an iPhone 12S and what are Apple's plans
iPhone 13 would not be used as a name, and Apple would switch from iPhone 12S to iPhone 14, and that would not be 100% strange either. We have already seen Asian manufacturers decide to completely skip certain figures for the phones they sell, Samsung doing this with the Samsung GALAXY S21 series, so if Apple did this with the iPhone 13, it wouldn't really be a big deal so unusual, in the end.

iPhone 12S without major changes does not even deserve to have a name that suggests that the upgrade is a serious one, and those from Apple are probably "testing the waters" with the name of the phone. Even if iPhone 12S would be the final name of the new series of phones, the world will still buy them in very large quantities, especially since 5G networks are starting to be available in more and more areas around the world, so the serious upgrade could come only now for many.
iPhone 12S, or iPhone 13 if the name will not be replaced, should be released by Apple sometime in the fall, maybe in September, maybe in October, depending on the evolution of the Coronavirus pandemic.
