The latest smartphone from Apple has just debuted. The new iPhone 13 will come in four variants, just like the previous generation: iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Apple’s conference is always associated with high expectations, and although other devices such as the new iPad, iPad mini, and Apple Watch Series 7 were also presented at the conference, the new smartphone generated the most excitement.
The design of the new iPhone 13 has not undergone significant changes. As every year, we have new color variants. The lenses in the 13 and 13 mini versions have changed their arrangement; now they are placed diagonally on the square island. The notch has also been reduced, and supposedly due to the redesign of the front camera system, the FaceID function is expected to work much better. The iPhone 13 Pro has a stainless steel frame, while the iPhone 13 has an aluminum one. All versions feature a glass back and are resistant to water. Their waterproof rating is IP68, which means complete protection against dust ingress and protection against immersion in water under pressure. The battery has also been enlarged, which means that the Pro Max version has up to 2.5 hours longer battery life. The refresh rate is now 120 Hz in the 13 Pro and Pro Max versions. However, it will vary between 10 – 120 Hz and will adjust according to needs, thanks to the ProMotion feature. All new iPhones are equipped with the A15 Bionic chip, which is said to be 50% faster than the best processors of the competition.
The lenses are another important point. As we mentioned, in the 13 and 13 mini versions, the lenses are placed diagonally, while in the Pro version, they have been enlarged along with the island. It is certainly a plus that this year all four variants have received optical image stabilization. For reference, this feature was previously only available in the Pro version. A new feature called Cinematic Mode has been introduced, which allows recording videos with blurred characters and objects in the background. The Pro versions are expected to be the most advanced smartphones in terms of photography. The island houses three lenses: a standard, ultra-wide, and telephoto lens with three times optical zoom. The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max will be available in four versions: 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, and even 1T.
Pre-orders start on September 17, and the new iPhones are expected to be available to the public from September 24. Will they turn out to be another hit? Judging by the number of Apple fans, probably yes. The price is not significantly different from its predecessor. We can now wait for tests and reviews from the first users.
