iPhone 13: Everything You Need To Know

During its Keynote event today, Apple revealed its latest products including the new iPad and Apple Watch, as well as the newest iPhone 13. As expected, there are many improvements across the board, from the sleek and durable design to the improved chipset that powers the latest iOS 15. Here is everything you need to know about Apple’s latest smartphone! 

iPhone 13 Specs

iPhone 13 Series contains 13 Mini, 13 Pro, and 13 Pro Max, on top of the standard model which we will further provide you an overview of. The main and most important upgrade that we can see with Apple’s new phones is the integration of the A15 Bionic chipset that directly impacts performance and efficiency. According to Apple, this makes the CPU up to 50% faster and graphics up to 30% faster than those of its competitors. Of course, alongside the new chipset is also battery improvement of up to 2.5 hours more than iPhone 12. When it comes to internal storage, there are going to be three options: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB. Finally, all devices in the iPhone 13 series are going to offer 5G compatibility, while Apple promises improved performance compared to last year’s models which can be felt especially during multiplayer gameplay, or high-quality video streaming. 

As expected, the new iPhone 13 Series is going to run the latest iOS 15 which brings even more new features to Apple’s new smartphones. This includes improved FaceTime experience with Portrait Mode, Focus features, other app-oriented improvements to Maps, Wallet, improved privacy control across the apps, and more.

iPhone 13 Camera

Naturally, each new iPhone Series comes with unavoidable camera upgrades. iPhone 13 camera setup has gotten some of its main improvements from last years’ iPhone 12 Pro Max: almost 50% bigger wide camera sensor which allows it to take better photos in dark, the sensor-shift stabilization tech, and photographic profiles with improved customization for better consistency across the photos. The video also got the new Cinematic Mode available for both back and front cameras that allows you to take cinema-level videos on your phone in Dolby Vision HDR with the intelligent focus shifts during the filming. 

iPhone 13 Design

When it comes to the design, the main thing that can be noticed is that iPhone 13 closely follows last year’s flat-edge approach, with minor changes here and there including a slimmer notch than the previous years. The housing is aluminum while the back panel is glass. All devices in the series are going to have an IP68 water resistance rating which offers additional protection. The standard model has a 6.1-inch, while the 13 Mini has a 5.4-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with improved brightness while being more power-efficient.

There are five color options to choose from Red, Starlight, Midnight, Blue, and Pink. The price for the iPhone 13 starts at $829 with pre-orders starting on the 17th of September, a week before the September 24th launch in stores.
