Without any preface, Apple still brings us a new generation of iPhone in September, which is the iPhone 13 series.
Like the previous generation, Apple still divides it into two series, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13, according to configuration and positioning, with a total of 4 models. Indeed, it seems that these models have not changed much, but Apple, as always, has inserted the more powerful A15 bionic chip, better Super Retina XDR display screen, and better rear camera, etc. .
Obviously, the iPhone 13 series is the best iPhone ever, with improvements in performance, images, and screens, but what Apple wants to tell us most is that the battery life and signal are better this time.
Apple said that it has redesigned the internal design of the 4 models of the iPhone 13 series, so that it can plug in a larger battery while the size of the body is almost unchanged. And the new A15 bionic chip has higher energy efficiency, which can optimize battery life while improving performance. So the new iPhone has obvious endurance, among which:
iPhone 13 Pro Max battery life is increased by up to 2.5 hours, and video playback can be up to 28 hours;
The battery life of iPhone 13 Pro is increased by up to 1.5 hours, and the video playback can be up to 22 hours;
iPhone 13 battery life increased by up to 2.5 hours, video up to 19 hours;
iPhone 13 mini has a maximum battery life of 1.5 hours and a video up to 17 hours;
By the way, the battery life improvements here are all compared to the iPhone 12 series. Apple can be considered a cross-year comparison.
But… while the endurance is improving, Apple is not a slave to the matter of charging, even if it is a small job. Therefore, the iPhone 13 series still supports MagSafe wireless charging up to 15W, Qi wireless charging up to 7.5W and 20W wired charging, and the chargers need to be purchased separately.
In terms of signal, Apple said that all 4 models of the iPhone 13 series use brand new custom antennas, which can support more 5G frequency bands, which is convenient for users to use in different countries, regions and operator networks. And with the help of smart data mode, it can also automatically reduce the network speed when 5G speed is not needed, and save power.
Although Apple has not clearly stated the signal problems in daily use, it is obvious that the new custom antenna will be improved. As for the degree of improvement… you have to wait until you buy it and use it for a period of time before you can get it. The answer is slightly.
In addition, the iPhone 13 series just looks like this, there is really no change. It is still a straight screen with absolutely no possibility of accidental touch, it is still a square design with a straight edge, and it still has obvious bangs…No, this time the bangs have become smaller.
Apple has redesigned and optimized the bangs of the iPhone 13 series, that is, the front camera, Face ID, and earpiece, making the bangs 20% smaller than the previous generation. This screen-to-body ratio is a little bit higher…the earpiece is moved up to the frame as a result. This can make people recognize the new iPhone at a glance. Of course, Apple is not so superficial. The rear camera of the iPhone 13 series has been changed to a diagonal design, so that both the front and back can be seen as the new model.
The rear dual camera is changed to diagonal. Apple is not because it can make people see that this is a new iPhone, but because such a change can accommodate a larger sensor and achieve better photo performance.
Apple said that both the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini use a new ultra-wide-angle camera, which can make the dark parts of the photo more delicate. The main camera is also the classic 12 million pixels, but it also uses a new sensor, which increases the amount of light by 47% compared to the previous generation, and inherits the unique sensor displacement optical image stabilization function of the iPhone 12 Pro Max, which obviously helps Take better, clearer photos.
That’s enough, obviously Apple doesn’t think it’s enough. Therefore, in the iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro, which are positioned as “Pro”, Apple naturally prepared a more “Pro” camera.
Apple has completely and completely upgraded the rear cameras of the iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro. The wide-angle (main camera), ultra-wide-angle and telephoto cameras all use new custom sensors, which have a larger single pixel area and a larger Aperture, etc., it can be said that each of the three cameras is super strong;
Ultra wide-angle: equivalent focal length of 13mm, f/1.8 aperture, 5p lens
Wide angle: equivalent focal length 26mm, f/1.5 aperture, 7p lens, sensor displacement OIS
Telephoto: equivalent focal length 77mm, 3X zoom; f/2.8 aperture, 6p lens, optical image stabilization OIS
Among them, the ultra-wide-angle camera supports auto-focus, which can achieve the nearest 2cm macro shooting, adding to the playability of the iPhone 13 Pro series. And in addition to the hardware, Apple also has support for night scene mode, smart HDR 4 and other functions at all focal lengths, so that ordinary users can easily take good photos.
By the way, the “Pro” of the iPhone 13 Pro series is also reflected in the A15 bionic chip.
It is true that these two series use A15 bionic chips, but in Apple’s definition, the A15 bionic chip of the iPhone 13 Pro series is not equal to the A15 bionic chip of the iPhone 13 series.
The A15 bionic chip used in the iPhone 13 Pro series is a 5nm process technology, composed of a 6-core CPU composed of 2 high-performance cores and 4 high-efficiency cores, a 5-core GPU, and a 16-core neural engine. The A15 bionic chip used in the iPhone 13 series is also a 5nm process technology. It is also a 6-core CPU composed of 2 high-performance cores and 4 high-efficiency cores. It is also a 16-core neural engine, but it is a 4-core GPU.
On this basis, the super retina XDR screen of the iPhone 13 Pro series additionally supports ProMotion technology, which is a high refresh rate.
As expected, Apple finally adopted a high refresh rate screen on the iPhone, and the high refresh rate screen adopted by the iPhone 13 Pro series supports an adaptive refresh rate of 10~120Hz, which can freely adapt the refresh rate according to the user’s operation. Realize more power saving in daily use, and a smoother use experience in scenes such as games.
Combined with the A15 bionic chip with stronger theoretical performance, this means that the gaming performance and future possibilities of the iPhone 13 Pro series are theoretically stronger than the iPhone 13 series. Obviously, Apple wants to make Pro a real Pro this time, not just because the price is very Pro.
(The super retina XDR screens used in the iPhone 13 Pro series and iPhone 13 series are all Apple’s new customized OLED screens with higher peak brightness and HDR brightness)
At the hardware level, that is, software functions, Apple has also made some adjustments to the needs of “Pro” users.
The first is the needs of photographers. Apple has launched a new “Photographic Style” function, which can set photos to personal favorite hue and color temperature. Compared with applying a filter alone, the “Photographic Style” function can make the sky and the skin color of people still natural, and while Apple provides a variety of presets, photographers and users can adjust them according to their own preferences. Can be called quickly.
(This is a function available for both iPhone 13 Pro series and iPhone 13 series)
As for video creators and enthusiasts, even users who just shoot small videos everyday, Apple’s new “movie effects mode” will definitely make people surprised and excited.
According to the official statement, “You can add a shallow depth of field when shooting a video, and automatically switch the focus of the lens between subjects. The film effect mode will also predict the subject that will be in the lens, and focus on the new subject at the appropriate time. , Use more creative lens language to narrate”.
Simply put, in the movie effect mode, the iPhone will use AI artificial intelligence to perform blur and focus switching to achieve a visual effect similar to a movie blockbuster, which greatly reduces the technical requirements and experience of video creation. And when using this mode to shoot video, you can also edit the depth of field effect in the follow-up, and also support Dolby Vision HDR. Maybe, maybe, maybe the popular local videos that we can see in the future can be done with just an iPhone, and we can do it better.
(This is a function that both iPhone 13 Pro series and iPhone 13 series can use, and only supports up to 1080P 30fps)
