The iPhone 13 series will bring major upgrades to the lineup. While the overall design aesthetics would remain the same, we expect to finally catch up with Android flagships and feature 120Hz ProMotion displays. Other marked improvements are expected to be enhanced camera modules, and a smaller notch.

Other than this, we also heard last week that the iPhone 13 will debut support for LEO satellite communications. While that's a feature that's intended to work only in the case of an emergency, a new report now cites that the LEO satellite communication system will be available on iPhone 13 models only in select markets.

The latest Power On newsletter by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman highlights Apple's intent to introduce the LEO satellite communication feature on iPhone 13 models only in select markets. In case you're not quite sure what we're talking about, the new LEO satellite communication system will allow users to send messages and make calls even without a network. The feature could be of critical importance in remote locations with no network coverage. However, it will launch in select markets with the iPhone 13.

Gurman also mentions that the iPhone 13 models would be equipped with new hardware for satellite communication which is not quite in place just yet. In addition to this, it would be expensive and could possibly be lobbied against by phone carriers. According to reports, you would need to be outside and it would take up to a minute to get a signal from the satellite.

Apple's iPhone 13 lineup is expected to arrive later this month alongside the Apple Watch Series 7 which has also seemingly run into a few production hurdles of its own.
