As always, the more you dive into the Apple ecosystem, the better. iPhones want to back up their photos and data to iCloud, play Apple Arcade, and listen to Apple Music, all for a $ 14.95-a-month Apple One subscription. You can certainly fill an iPhone primarily with Google or Microsoft services, but you may have fewer options for easily sharing your content, and you will find that your cloud services are less connected to the operating system.
The “biggest camera update ever made” on an iPhone doesn’t need to ship on a large iPhone, at least not in a Max form factor; the iPhone 13 Pro is sufficient. Unlike last year, when only the 12 Pro Max had the ultimate camera system, the differences between the two Pro sizes are only in quantity, not quality.
The Little Pro includes the new main camera with a larger sensor to stabilize the image, the same unit as the Max. It also has the TV now 3 times longer than the Max. The iPhone 12 Pro was crippled in both areas last year compared to the 12 Pro Max, and we’re glad Apple ended that disparity. The new ultra-wide-angle with autofocus and close-up shooting capabilities is also a common feature of both professionals.
It’s not just the cameras; the 13 Pro also has the ProMotion display.
Other updates shared down the line will also hit the 13 Pro. At 10%, the increase in battery capacity isn’t huge, but adaptive cooling will do its part to improve longevity. The A15 chipset is, as always, a little more powerful than the previous one and perhaps excessively compared to non-Apple ones. The 20% reduction in notch size is also worth mentioning, more for the comic value of the statement than the importance of development.

Let me be clear: I take many photos with my phones, but I am not shooting Hollywood movies or viral TikToks, and my photos are generally to mark memories, not to create art. Overall, I want my photos to be clear, focused, and effortless, and when it comes to that, I think I’m in line with most iPhone owners.
Apple has improved a lot of specs on the iPhone 13 camera, but I had real trouble seeing those specs translate into better images. The new hardware consists of a larger sensor that captures 47% more light than the iPhone 12 and better optical image stabilization by sensor switch for videos.
Like the iPhone 12, the iPhone 13 has two 12-megapixel cameras on the back: an f / 1.6 main camera and a 120-degree f / 2.4 ultra-wide lens. There’s a 12-megapixel camera on the front with LiDAR depth mapping for Face ID and augmented reality. Video recording goes up to 4K at 60fps on both the front and the rear.
Flagship smartphones reached a level of basic perfection a few years ago regarding outdoor photography in decent light. Take a look at this photo of the horizon taken with an iPhone 13, iPhone 12, and iPhone XR from 2018. I can’t tell the difference. So if you mainly take photos in good light at 1x, it has been solid since 2018.
Although not drastically different from its predecessor, this generation’s increased battery life makes it an ideal choice for those looking for a big-screen device. Sure, you miss out on a handful of nice features compared to the Pro model, including the telephoto zoom lens and 120Hz fast refresh screen, but the iPhone 13 is still a great all-around device that, more importantly, doesn’t. It costs so much.

The Apple iPhone 13 series has four devices to choose from: the small-scale iPhone 13 mini; this same model in review, the iPhone 13; the most advanced iPhone 13 Pro; and the group’s big-screen device, the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
So is this “standard” iPhone the right fit for most people? Well, the gap between the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro is smaller for 2021 than in previous iterations. Although it lacks the faster refresh rate display of the Pro, the iPhone 13 still packs a lot of the features that you would want and, more importantly, you will use.

Ceramic Shield FrontThe Apple iPhone 13 shares a very similar design to the iPhone 12, although the eagle eyes will notice a couple of slight changes that differentiate them. The flat edge design remains, and is still charming, like a flashback to the iPhone 5 from 2012 (remember that?), While aluminum is retained as the material of choice for the frame (the antenna bars found inside are made of recycled plastic), with a matte finish. It’s not as premium as the Pro models, but it’s still a lovely finish.
You will find a glass finish on the rear, shown here in a very majestic-looking blue. This is also where you’ll find one of the defining differences between the 2021 and 2020 models: the camera housing in the upper left corner is larger, and the camera lenses, which are also larger, are positioned diagonally rather than vertically. The glass also seems to be more resistant to stains compared to our old iPhone 12 mini.
The second design change in the iPhone 13 is on the front: the notch at the top of the screen has been reduced in size compared to its predecessor. Not a huge reduction, but a reduction of around 20 percent anyway, so we’ll take it. However, in a world of under-screen and punch-hole cameras, many will wonder why Apple isn’t pushing the boundaries in this department.
Overall, the iPhone 13 is not drastically different from the iPhone 12. It is almost identical in size, we are talking about a thickness of just 0.15mm, but it is worth noting that the old cases do not fit because of that. . new camera layout. So, something else to add to the shopping list. While the iPhone 13 is not as compact and lightweight as the iPhone 13 mini, it is still light and comfortable to hold while offering the benefits of a larger screen and battery capacity.
