Follow me as I quickly brief you about the features. Let’s start with the iPhone 13 and 13 mini which come in new colours like Starlight, a new shade of Blue, and Pink.
The first thing anyone will notice about its design is the diagonal camera layout which you may assume Apple changed in order to differentiate these new models. However, they actually chose to rearrange the camera lenses in order to fit a larger wide-angle sensor which means better low-light photos.
There is another feature called sensor shift, which was previously only available on the 12 Pro Max. This stabilizes the camera’s sensor instead of the lens for even greater image stabilization and photo quality, especially on the standard wide-angle lens, which captures 47% more light.
There is also a completely new video recording feature called Cinematic mode which automatically creates depth effects and focuses transitions similar to those found in real movies. You can even adjust the depth effect after the video is recorded which, by the way, is captured in Dolby Vision HDR. This allows for a wider amount of colours, brightness and contrast.
Smart HDR 4 now recognizes up to four different people in a scene and optimizes the contrast, lighting, and even skin tones for each one. But there is a new feature for photos something called Photographic Styles which creates a personal look for your photos. But unlike filters, styles selectively apply adjustments to the right areas, while preserving skin tones.
The best part about these new photo and video features is that they are available on the selfie camera as well. Now perhaps the iPhone 13’s biggest design is its notch which is 20% smaller than before. Although you still won’t be able to see the battery percentage number without swiping down.

Speaking of battery, the iPhone 13 mini has one and a half hours more battery life than the 12 minis, while the iPhone 13 has two and a half hours more than the iPhone 12. The processor on these phones has been updated to the A15 Bionic chip which features 21 per cent faster processing than the iPhone 12, and 15 per cent faster graphics.
While the base storage on the 13 and 13 mini has doubled from 64GB to 128. Apple also equipped these new models with more 5G bands, which means faster speeds in more places. The 13 mini starts at 700 dollars, while the iPhone 13 starts at 800.
Now, let’s talk about the pricier iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max models. They include all the previous features we covered, alongside some advanced extras like a new Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion which doubles the display’s refresh rate from 60Hz to 120Hz, resulting in silky smooth animations and scrolling. Macro photos and video are also coming to these pro models in addition to improved night mode on all three lenses.
With the telephoto lens now featuring 3x optical zoom. Videos can be recorded in ProRes format, which is a standard widely used in professional settings. But even with these new features, the pro models also achieve extra battery life. One and a half hours more on the iPhone 13 Pro, and two and a half hours more on the 13 Pro Max.
Due to the larger batteries, all four of these iPhone models are thicker and heavier than the previous generation. The 13 Pro starts at one thousand dollars, while the 13 pro max starts at one-thousands one-hundred. With each model featuring a maximum capacity of one terabyte for the first time. So that’s what’s up with the iPhone 13 features.
