The iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max were unveiled by Apple in September and they might be the best iPhone Apple has released in a while.
The iPhone 13 lineup finally got a smaller notch. The notch which was introduced with the iPhone X back in September 2017 remained for four years after its announcement. The camera module on the iPhone 13 is slightly larger this year and on the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13 the camera lenses are diagonal instead of just being vertical.
The new iPhone 13 has the new A15 Bionic Chip, but for the first time Apple introduced a better version of the A15 Bionic chip with faster performance on the Pro models instead of the lower end models.
The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro models have a better battery life this year with the new A15 Bionic chip. The iPhone 13 mini can last up to 7 hours on a single charge while the iPhone 13 can last up to 8 hours. On the Pro models the iPhone 13 Pro can last up to 8 hours on a single charge and the iPhone 13 Pro Max can last up to 10 hours.
Another reason to get the new iPhone 13 Pro models is because of the display. The display on the iPhone 13 Pro models is a 120Hz OLED LTPO display. The Pro Motion display can go as low as 10Hz when the phone is on a still image and can go as high as a 120Hz when watching a video or playing an intense game. The display is also brighter than before.
Finally, the cameras on the iPhone 13 models are amazing. The iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13 have a dual lens camera with better low light performance and sensor shift stabilization which was previously only available on the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Apple also introduced cinematic mode which is portrait mode for video on the new iPhone 13 models. On the other hand, the iPhone 13 Pro models are able to record Pro Res video in 4K. For this feature you would need to buy the 256GB and above storage option models. Users with the standard 128GB iPhone can still record Pro Res video, but only in 1080p.
The iPhone 13 models are packed with features this year and is worth upgrading this year because of the new display, better camera, better battery life, and faster performance.
