Choosing an iPhone is becoming increasingly difficult. Apple has released four models in 2021, including the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini, as well as the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max. The choices of colors, storage capacities, and other features make choosing the right iPhone just a little more complicated.
The new iPhone lineup was announced at Apple's September event along with the Apple Watch 7 and iPad Mini 6. iOS 15 is now available for the updated iPhone. This new version comes with a few camera improvements, more storage, and a new A15 Bionic processor. In spite of the iPhone 13's similarity to the iPhone 12, Apple's 2021 iPhones offer a new design, updated cameras, and feature upgrades for the same price as 2020's iPhone 12.
All iPhone 13 models are 20% smaller in size and design
Compared to last year's iPhone lineup, the iPhone 13 is thicker and heavier, but it is smaller in size. In addition to the selfie camera, Apple has added a secure display to every iPhone since the 2017 iPhone X. The screen on the iPhone 13 is 20% smaller than the one on the iPhone 12.
For the iPhone 13 Mini, the design of the camera setup changed. Instead of being stacked atop each other like on the iPhone 12 Mini, the camera lenses are now diagonally arranged.
Each iPhone 13 model has its own camera upgrade
Several new camera features are included in the iPhone 13 lineup. Macro photography and cinematic mode are two of them. The lidar scanner, like that of the iPhone 12, is only available on the Pro and Pro Max. In this generation, only higher-end iPhones will have a lidar scanner. The lidar scanner was introduced in the 2020 iPad Pro. It can also be seen on the iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro Max. An autofocus scanner is used to take pictures in low light and to assist with autofocus. Apple's iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini feature 12-megapixel wide and ultrawide lenses. In the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max, there are three 12-megapixel cameras with wide, ultrawide, and telephoto lenses. Apple's new iPhones for 2021 also support night mode for the first time.
The iPhone 13 is said to have a longer battery life than its predecessor
The battery life for the new iPhones is longer than for the iPhone 12. Apple says the extended battery life is a result of a bigger battery, iOS 15, and the A15 Bionic chip. IPhone 13 and iPhone Mini have a battery life of 17 hours and 19 hours, respectively. The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone Pro Max have a battery life of 22 hours and 28 hours, respectively. The iPhone manufacturer does not disclose battery specs, but Mobile Campus found that its latest models have significantly more batteries than last year's. Due to its smaller screen, the iPhone 13 Pro has a smaller battery than the iPhone 13.
Which model of the iPhone 13 will you purchase?
Which iPhone 13 is right for you? It's up to you to decide. However, we think most people will be extremely happy with the iPhone 13. Price-wise, it has a great balance of power, features, and battery life. Because of its balanced approach, we chose the iPhone 13 as our Choice winner.
The iPhone 13 Pro Max will probably appeal most to gamers and creative professionals. Its large screen makes it ideal to play games on. There is a 3x zoom camera, macro photography support, ProRes video recording, and nearly endless battery life. That is our second favorite in the group of iPhone 13.
