September 14, 2021 Off By Rowena Cletus

Apple has introduced the iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini. The Pros come with super-resolution displays and 120Hz adaptive refresh rates, both models feature a redesigned look, bringing you a faster, smoother touch experience. With the advancement of the A15 Bionic and its new Ultra Wide, Wide, and Telephoto cameras, the camera system gains the greatest advancement.

Each camera takes stunning photos and videos, built on A15 Bionic, more powerful than its competitors. These technologies enable iPhone users to capture stunning photos never before possible on the device, like macro photography using the new Ultra-Wide camera, and improvements in low-light performance up to 2.2x with Wide camera.

As part of the newest photo application, the Camera app includes a new computational photography feature called Photographic Styles, and all models now include Night Mode. With new video features like Cinematic mode, transitions between depth-of-field, macro video, Time-lapse and Slo-Mo, and better low-light performance, you can go from good to great in minutes.

The two models also feature ProRes on the iPhone exclusively, as well as Dolby Vision end-to-end pro workflows. With the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, Apple has introduced 5G with more bands for better coverage, improvements to the iPhone battery life for the best battery life ever, a new storage capacity of 1TB, and the Ceramic Shield front cover, more durable than other smartphones.

There will be four finishes available for the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, including graphite, gold, silver, as well as the brand-new sierra blue. Pre-orders begin on Friday, September 17, and the game is available on Friday, September 24. Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing Greg Joswiak noted, “iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are our most pro iPhone lineup ever with a breakthrough camera system, best battery life yet on a smartphone, and the fastest performance ever.”


The Most Advanced Cameras on an iPhone
A wider */1.8 aperture and a new autofocus system give the Ultra Wide 92 percent better low-light performance, which results in brighter, sharper images. The new lens design, autofocus capability, and advanced software enable macro photography on iPhone for the first time. iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max also offer a new 77 mm Telephoto camera, offering users the ability to get closer to their subjects while recording video and achieve even more traditionally framed portraits, up to 6x optical zoom for an all-around 6x optical zoom range.

All-new camera features on iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max take advantage of a faster Neural Engine, a new Image Signal Processor, and advances in computational photography. Photographic Styles lets users choose how to take images while still taking advantage of Apple’s multiframe image processing. Unlike a simple filter, preset and customized preferences apply intelligent adjustments across scenes and subjects, ensuring the important elements, such as skin tones, are preserved. Night mode is now available on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max for the first time.


Users of iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max can expect improved color, contrast, and lighting, even in challenging lighting situations, creating images that appear more natural. iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max also offer features like Deep Fusion, Apple ProRAW, and Portrait mode with Portrait Lighting.

Performance of A15 Bionic is best-in-class
It is up to 60 percent faster than its competition and can complete demanding tasks with ease and efficiency because it has two high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores. With iOS 15, a 16-core Neural Engine capable of 15.8 trillion operations per second allows third party apps to perform machine learning computations faster, as well as add features like Live Text in Camera.

Display: Super Retina XDR with ProMotion: Brighter, faster
The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max introduce the most advanced display ever on an iPhone with Super Retina XDR with ProMotion, supporting an adaptive refresh rate of 10Hz to 120Hz for fast frame rates when needed and conserving battery life when not.

In addition to its higher-efficiency OLED panel, this new display includes a faster A15 Bionic display engine, faster of GPU, always-on touch coprocessor, and is designed specifically for iOS 15, making gestures, animations, and activities like gaming feel faster and more responsive. The iPhone X has the brightest display ever with up to 25 percent more maximum outdoor brightness, at 1000 nits. Users will enjoy vivid color reproduction, great contrast, and amazing resolution, whether they’re casually browsing the web or watching HDR videos.

Redesigned Inside and Out, Durable Design, and Improved Battery Life
The all-new Pro lineup features a sleek design constructed from durable materials, including a surgical-grade stainless steel band that resists abrasion and corrosion, as well as matte matte glass. All four colors come in four striking variations, including alpine blue, which is enhanced by multiple nanometer-scale metallic ceramic layers applied across the surface for a stunning and durable look. Ceramic Shield front cover is inspired by the iconic ceramic back of the iPod, and provides a better drop performance than any smartphone glass.

TrueDepth cameras take up 20 percent less space on both models, which provides a larger viewing area while still supporting the most secure facial authentication system available on a smartphone, Face ID. There is a new design for the rear camera, incorporating beautiful stainless steel trim that surrounds each sapphire crystal lens, and the Pro line-up is designed to withstand spills from common liquids with an IP68 rating for water resistance.

On the inside, new, highly-efficient components, bigger batteries, and power optimizations enabled by tight hardware and software integration make it possible to achieve all-day battery life6 for both Pro models, with iPhone 13 Pro Max boasting the longest battery life of any iPhone to date. iPhone 13 Pro will last up to one and a half hours longer than iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max will last up to two and a half hours longer than iPhone 12 Pro Max.

5G Experiences in More Places
5G is quickly transforming how people connect, share, and enjoy content around the world, and iPhone offers a breakthrough experience based on 5G technology. The iPhone 13 Pro lineup features a customized hardware design with additional 5G bands, providing greater coverage and performance in more places.
