Apple unveiled the brand new iPhone 13 series at the California streaming event earlier this week. The devices can now be officially pre-ordered.
A quick recap: The iPhone 13's design is largely identical to the iPhone 12, but the notch at the top of the screen is a bit narrower—about 20 percent smaller, according to Apple. The dual cameras on the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini have been moved diagonally to the rear module as part of the update. The iPhone 13's displays are 28 percent brighter (the Pro models get further upgrades, including a 120Hz refresh rate). In terms of performance, the iPhone 13 is powered by the A15 Bionic chip. The A15 has nearly 15 billion transistors, with 2 high-performance cores and 4 high-efficiency cores. However, it's unclear how much of a performance advantage the A15 chip has over the A14 in the iPhone 12. Apple says the iPhone 13 will get up to 2.5 hours longer battery life compared to the iPhone 12. The iPhone 13 mini improves battery life by 1.5 hours.
iPhone 13 Pro: Lenses get bigger
Inside the iPhone 13 Pro (Max) is of course also the A15 Bionic processor, which Apple says is 50 percent faster than the "closest competitor". It uses a 6-core CPU and a 4-core GPU, as well as the 16-core Neural Engine, which is even faster than the previous version. On the back is the familiar triple camera setup with larger lenses than previous versions. This means this year the sensors are larger so more light can be captured, improving low-light shots. The telephoto lens now has a 77mm focal length and 3x optical zoom, while the wide-angle lens offers an f/1.5 aperture and up to 2.2x improvement in low-light conditions. The new ultra-wide camera has an f/1.8 aperture, offers a 92%y improvement in low-light shots, and features a six-element lens with autofocus.
