The new Apple iPhone 13 is debuted during the California Streaming virtual product launch in Louisville, Kentucky, U.S., on Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2021. The Cupertino, California-based technology giant has been readying four new iPhones, as well as Apple Watches with larger screens.

NEW YORK: Apple Inc unveiled the iPhone 13 and a new iPad mini on Tuesday, expanding 5G connectivity and showing off faster chips and sharper cameras without raising the phone's price.

The Cupertino, California-based company did not announce any blockbuster features or products, but analysts expect customers hanging onto older models like the iPhone X will be eager to upgrade. To encourage trade-ins, participating wireless carriers are offering incentives ahead of the year-end holiday season that to make the new phones free to some customers.
