This post will guide you through changes on iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini.
Apple has introduced the new iPhone generation-iPhone 13 and iPhone 13mini, with an elegant, beautifully flat-edged design and 5 stunning color options. Both iPhone models come with some great innovations, such as the dual-camera system, sensor-shifted optical image stabilization (OIS), and so on.
iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini feature the A15 Bionic chip for high speed and energy efficiency and improved battery life, an ultra-retina XDR display for higher brightness and vibrant images, and an ultra-ceramic crystal panel for durability.
Next, we will lead you through the main features of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini quickly.
The iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 Mini use a defined aluminum bezel for durability. iPhone 13 Used a 6.1-inch screen and iPhone 13 Mini uses a screen of 5.4 inches. iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini have an ultra-ceramic crystal plate that is harder than any mobile glass.
Both models are equipped with advanced IP68 water resistance and are resistant to spills of usual liquids. The back camera layout was redesigned with sliding lenses arranged diagonally to form an advanced double camera system; The original depth camera system is also redesigned to make the range smaller to leave more space for the screen display.
The new Retina XDR display uses customed OLED technology to deliver great contrast for true blacks, a 28% increase in peak brightness to 800 units for outdoor use, an increase in peak brightness to 1200 units for HDR content like photos and videos.
iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini also have better battery life. thanks to the A15 Bionic chip, energy-efficient components, a larger battery, and deep hardware and software integration. iPhone 13 offers all-day battery life of 2.5 hours more in daily use than iPhone 12, and iPhone 13 mini offers 1.5 hours more in daily use than iPhone 12 mini.
iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini employ a new camera design with improved hardware. The new wide-angle camera features 1.7 microns per pixel and the largest light sensor ever in the iPhone dual-camera system, providing 47% more light intake, less noise, and brighter images.
Sensor-shifted optical image stabilization (OIS) technology, which was originally exclusive to iPhone 12 Pro Max, now is available in iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini. This feature guarantees lens stabilization to make sure a clear photo/video.
The iPhone series offers a cinematic mode based on extensive research in the field of cinematography, which uses a powerful focus-shifting feature to automatically change focus when recording video to achieve a beautiful depth-of-field effect, allowing users to capture cinematic moments, even if they are not professional.
Users can also change focus to take full control of their creations and use the Photos app and iMovie app on iOS to have special bokeh. Thanks to the A15 bionic chip and advanced machine learning algorithms, Movie Effect mode supports shooting video in Dolby Vision HDR format. From shooting to editing and sharing, both models now support 4K Dolby Vision video at up to 60 fps from all cameras.
The A15 Bionic chip with its faster neural network engine, new image signal processors and vastly improved computational photography power help bring new features to iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini.
The camera system also supports Smart HDR 4, which enhances the color, contrast, and brightness of all subjects in a photo, making images more lifelike even in poor environmental conditions in the field.
Besides, Night Mode has also been improved. In addition, the Deep Camera supports all new stunning camera features, including Cinematic Effect mode, "Photo Style" and Smart HDR 4.
The A15 Bionic chip is faster and better in performance and power efficiency, making everything in the iPhone 13 series smoother.
It uses 5nm process technology and has nearly 15 billion transistors to handle complicated tasks. With two high-performance cores and four power-efficient cores that are up to 50% faster than the competition, the new 6-core CPU is the fastest chip on iPhone yet, allowing it to handle performance-demanding tasks smoothly and efficiently,
And the new quad-core graphics processor is up to 30% faster than the competition for more vivid visuals and lighting effects in games with high graphics performance requirements. The new 16-core neural network engine performs 15.8 trillion operations per second, speeding up third-party app machine learning operations and providing a better experience with the live text feature in the iOS 15 camera.
The world is rapidly moving into the 5G era. iPhone will bring new ways for users to connect, share and enjoy content, providing a more advanced 5G experience. iPhone 13 models provide new hardware designed to support more 5G bands, allowing users to enjoy 5G in more places.
5G support will double to more than 200 carriers in 60 countries or territories around the world by the end of 2021. Users will be able to watch better video online, enjoy faster competitive gaming in multi-player games, enjoy faster uploads and downloads, and more.
iOS 15's Simulcast sharing will provide a powerful sharing experience in 5G, such as watching HDR movies or TV shows in sync with friends on FaceTime calls. Smart Data Mode will automatically switch iPhone to LTE mode when users don't need 5G speeds, enabling smart power savings.
iOS 15 enhances the iPhone experience with new ways to stay connected, powerful features to help users stay focused, explore, and do more with device-side intelligence.
The Live Text feature uses device-side intelligence to recognize text in photos so users can perform actions, like copy or translation.
The Weather app has been redesigned to offer full-screen mode and more image data display, the Wallet app adds support for Home Key, and Siri, Mail and other system features add new privacy control options to further protect user information.
