Silicone MagSafe cases for Apple's new iPhone 13 Pro Max have appeared in a now-deleted video. The video appears to confirm the name of Apple's new smartphone series "iPhone 13", just ahead of its official launch.

The video in question first appeared on Twitter by the account @PinkDon1 , and shows a batch of silicone cases in white boxes, held together with rubber bands. The labels on the Silicone MagSafe cases read “ iPhone 13 Pro Max Silicone Case ” along with the MagSafe logo underneath. The video then shows a stack of boxes of cases, suggesting they are in a manufacturing plant or distribution warehouse.

The video was later removed from the Twitter account, although it was reposted by other accounts. The @PinkDon1 account has low engagement and few recent tweets, so it’s difficult to assess the authenticity of the video based on the source. On the other hand, it’s not uncommon for packaging images for iPhone accessories to appear shortly before a new phone line is released.
The most reliable sources also report that the 2021 iPhone will indeed be called the “iPhone 13,” and a previous leak showed an image of sticker tabs used to seal Apple products on their boxes with the name “iPhone 13.” However, some have said that the new iPhone will be called the “iPhone 12S.”.

A recent survey showed that most consumers don't want the new devices to be called "iPhone 13." About 38% of respondents said Apple should call its next smartphone series "iPhone" (2021), while 26% thought "iPhone 13" was the best name, and only 13% said they prefer "iPhone 12S."
The iPhone 13 series is expected to be announced in September, possibly as early as next week. Apple will introduce the new phones with a number of new and exciting features, including a 120Hz display, the “A15” chip, larger batteries, new camera capabilities, up to 1TB of storage , and more.
