The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, released on September 14 alongside the more cheap iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini, are Apple’s newest high-end pro-level flagship iPhones. For those who desire iPhones with the greatest features and the best cameras, the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are excellent.

The iPhone 13 Pro, with a 6.1-inch display, succeeds the iPhone 12 Pro, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max, with a 6.7-inch display, succeeds the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Flat corners, a stainless steel frame, a textured matte glass back, and a tiny increase in thickness characterize both new iPhone 13 Pro models, which are almost identical in design to the iPhone 12 Pro variants (7.65mm). Silver, Gold, Sierra Blue, and Graphite are the colors available with the iPhone 13 Pro.

Like the iPad Pro versions, both of the new models have OLED Super Retina XDR Displays that offer ProMotion technology with adaptive refresh rates ranging from 10Hz to 120Hz. Outside, the displays are up to 25% brighter.

The iPhone 13 Pro has a resolution of 2532×1170 pixels per inch and a pixel density of 460 pixels per inch, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max has a resolution of 2778×1284 pixels per inch and a pixel density of 458 pixels per inch. Both iPhones have a maximum brightness of 1200 nits for HDR, as well as True Tone to match the display’s color temperature to ambient light, Wide Color for rich, vibrant hues, and Haptic Touch for feedback.

The TrueDepth camera technology on the front has been improved, and the Face ID notch has been reduced in size, taking up less total area. Like last year’s models, the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max include a Ceramic Shield cover glass that is embedded with nano-ceramic crystals for greater drop protection. The latest iPhones have IP68 water and dust resistance, and they can withstand submersion in 6 meters of water for up to 30 minutes.

An improved A15 Bionic Chip powers the latest iPhones. It has a 6-core CPU with 2 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores and a 5-core GPU, one extra GPU core than the iPhone 13 versions. A 16-core Neural Engine is also included. The 5-core GPU outperforms any other smartphone chip by 50% in terms of graphics performance.

The rear camera has been modified to include an f/2.8 Telephoto lens, an f/1.5 Wide lens, and an f/1.8 Ultra-Wide lens. The Wide lens has a 2.2x larger aperture and is the largest sensor in an iPhone to date, while the Ultra-Wide lens has a 92 percent larger aperture for superior low-light performance.

With the addition of the Ultra Wide lens, the 77mm Telephoto lens has a 6x optical zoom range and compatibility for 15x digital zoom, up from 2.5x in the 12 Pro Max. A LiDAR Scanner is also included, which isn’t available on the iPhone 13 and 13 mini. This year, the camera settings on both Pro models are identical, with no variations between the Pro and Pro Max.

The iPhone 13 Pro models gain Cinematic Mode, a feature that uses rack focus to seamlessly shift focus from one subject to another, artfully blurring the background and creating movie-quality depth effects, in addition to the standard Portrait Mode, Night Mode, Time-Lapse, and other photographic capabilities. The depth of field and blur can be changed using the iPhone’s camera app in Cinematic mode, which shoots in Dolby HDR. 4K video recording at up to 60 frames per second is also possible.

Deep Fusion, a carryover from iPhone 12, activates in mid to low-light scenarios to bring out texture and detail, and Smart HDR 4 identifies up to four persons in a photo and optimizes the contrast, lighting, and skin tones for each of them.

Photographic Styles are an improved type of filter that selectively mutes or boosts the vibrancy of an image without affecting skin tones. There are options for Vibrant, Rich Contrast, Warm, and Cool, as well as Tone and Warmth settings for customization and refinement.

Macro photography and videography for close-up macro shots with focus at 2cm, Night Mode support for the Telephoto lens, Night Mode portraits that require the LiDAR Scanner, and ProRes video recording that lets users record ProRes video in 4K at up to 30 frames per second are just a few of the Pro-only photographic capabilities that are limited to the triple-lens camera system. Later this year, the ProRes video will be available.

FaceID facial recognition unlocks Apple’s iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max, which works with the 12-megapixel front-facing camera, which supports Smart HDR 4, Deep Fusion, Night Mode, Cinematic Mode, Night Mode Selfies, and more.

Although 5G connectivity is included for smoother video streaming, higher-definition FaceTime chats, and improved gaming, the ultra-fast mmWave speeds are once again limited to major US cities. Slower sub-6GHz 5G speeds are already available in more rural areas in the United States and other nations, and more 5G bands are being supported to expand 5G coverage.

When 5G isn’t accessible, Gigabit LTE is enabled, and a Smart Data Mode reverts to an LTE connection when 5G speeds aren’t required to save battery life. The new iPhone 13 models allow dual eSIM and don’t come with a physical SIM by default, although a nano-SIM slot is still available.

The iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max have a U1 Ultra Wideband processor for spatial awareness and WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0.

Larger batteries and the more efficient A15 chip have greatly enhanced battery life. The iPhone 13 Pro has a battery life of up to 1.5 hours longer than the iPhone 12 Pro, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max has a battery life of up to 2.5 hours longer than the iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Storage capacity ranges from 128GB to 1TB on the top end. A three-axis gyro, accelerometer, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, and barometer are all built-in.

The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max include built-in magnets and are compatible with MagSafe accessories, charging at up to 15W with Apple’s MagSafe charger, just like last year’s iPhones. The iPhones also support fast charging, which enables a 50 percent charge in 30 minutes when using a 20W power adapter.

The iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max do not come with a power adapter or EarPods, so you’ll have to buy them separately. They do come with a charging cable that converts USB-C to Lightning.

Availability and Pricing

The iPhone 13 Pro is priced at $999, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max is priced at $1099, and there were no price hikes this year. Pre-orders for the new iPhone 13 Pro variants began at 5:00 a.m. on September 17. On Friday, September 24, at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, the first gadgets, began to arrive at consumers.

Issues

Some iPhone 13 Pro customers have reported that the Unlock with Apple Watch feature is not working. Apple has officially verified that this is a bug and is working on a fix. The iOS 15.0.1 update addressed the issue.
