Today the long awaited new iPhones were finally presented. Read here what the Apple iPhone 13 and its siblings can do.
It started with the iPhone 13. It looks similar to the iPhone 12, but some small adjustments are immediately noticeable. The dual camera has been rearranged and the notch is smaller. It is available in red, pink, blue, black and silver. The same innovations apply to the iPhone 13 mini. The display, which is 5,4 inches on the mini and 6,1 inches on the regular iPhone, is now 28 percent brighter and is based on OLED. Apple calls this Super Retina XDR.

The smartphone is powered by the A15 Bionic. This is once again faster and uses less energy. It was manufactured using the 5-nano-meter process and comes with six cores. This is supported by a graphics unit with four cores. As the operating system is iOS 15 installed ex works. These improvements should be noticeable in several areas of application. 5G is also operated by the processor.

Furthermore, the camera was improvedprochen. A new wide-angle camera was installed, which should make pictures look even more natural. It's the largest sensor ever built into an iPhone's dual-camera system. Among other things, it should absorb more light, which should make pictures with bad light look better. At his side is a new ultra-wide-angle camera. "Cinematic Mode" can now be used when recording videos. This can shift the focus if a person turns somewhere else, for example.
According to Apple, the battery in the iPhone 13 mini lasts 1,5 hours longer, while the iPhone 13 should be 2,5 additional hours. Another new feature is that the storage options start at 128 gigabytes.
iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max
The iPhone 13 Pro looks almost the same as the 12 Pro. Another new feature here is that the notch has been shrunk. The color options are blue, silver, gold and gray. The built-in processor is also the A15 Bionic, which equips the smartphone with 5G capabilities.

The display is 6,1 inches and 6,7 inches in size, is based on OLED (also called Super Retina XDR here) and is slightly brighter. Apple also integrated ProMotion from the iPad Pro, which increases the refresh rate to up to 120 Hertz. The exact number depends on what you are doing. An additional layer of glass protects the display, which should make it even more robust.

The camera system consists of a telephoto, an ultra-wide-angle and a wide-angle camera. The improvements in the photos are similar to those on the iPhone 13. The ultra-wide-angle sensor now also supports macro shots, which means you can capture small elements even more precisely. "Smart HDR" also intervenes in snapshots with color improvements. "Photographic Styles" are new filters that freshen up the photos even more. There have also been some changes to the video function, which now allows recording with Dolby Vision HDR. Also on board is the option to change the focus afterwards and "ProRes Video", which allows you to record videos in 4K at 30FPS and ProRes.
The improvements in battery life are similar to the regular iPhones.
