The iPhone 13 has been unveiled by Apple at its Keynote in September 2021. As for the previous model last year, four versions were presented: an iPhone 13, an iPhone 13 Mini, an iPhone 13 Pro, and an iPhone 13 Pro Max. The arrival of a new iPhone 13 Mini remains a surprise. The sales of the previous iPhone 12 Mini not having reached the expected target in terms of sales. It is a small risk that Apple takes by betting again on a smaller version of its new iPhone 13. We'll have to see if this new device will find its audience.
Why to buy an Iphone 13?
All four new iPhones feature a new processor, which Apple says will help
users multiply usage in a "smooth and efficient manner." The A15 Bionic
chip will provide significantly more power to the new phone, with better battery management in particular. It is notably the one used today on the iPad mini, recalls 01net. The iPhone 13 Pro also uses this same chip, with an even more powerful battery.
The iPhone 13 will also feature larger batteries that Apple says will
provide between 1.5 and 2.5 hours of extra usage per day. This is partly
due to the installation of the A15 chip. "iPhone 13 has a faster chip,
faster 5G, a brighter OLED display, and the most advanced dual-camera
system ever built into an iPhone, and with all of these upgrades, iPhone
13 has better battery life," Apple VP Kiann Drance summarized at the
Keynote.
The iPhone 13's cameras have also been improved. In addition to the
reduction of the notch on the front of the smartphone, a new feature, Cinema Mode, will allow shooting videos using the rear
cameras and users to change the focus, with a new f/1.6 aperture,
7-element lens, 26mm focal length. The iPhones 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max, also feature a new 3x telephoto lens and an ultra-wide camera that allows macro photography for the first time, to shoot small objects.
What else is new with the iPhone 13?
On the design side, Apple wanted to bet on an elegant aesthetic, with a
thinner notch. Of course, the iPhone 13 will be equipped with the IP68
system against splashes. But it is especially on the back of the device
that its appearance will change the most. Indeed, the cameras are now in
duo, placed diagonally.
In terms of colors, the iPhone 13 has new options, such as the creation
of the pink iPhone. You can still find the usual colors which are red,
midnight black, starlight white and blue. As for the iPhone 13 Pro and 13
Pro Max, these are available in Alpine Blue, Graphite, Gold and
Silver.
An iPhone 13 mini
Despite very disappointing sales for the iPhone 12 mini, Apple has
decided to try again by announcing an iPhone 13 mini. The latter has the
same features as its classic version, but in a smaller format, to be easy
to store and use. It is also available in several colors, as is the case
for the classic version namely pink, blue, midnight, starlight and
red.
The iPhone 13 mini is fully compatible with 5G communication networks,
and is expected to get iOS 15 upon release. Pre-orders launch on Friday,
September 17 for availability starting Friday, September 24.
The return of the iPhone 13 Pro
That's one of the many questions Apple answered Tuesday night: there is
indeed an iPhone 13 Pro and an iPhone 13 Pro Max. As with the Pro version
of the 12, the iPhone 13 Pro is once again aimed at budding photographers.
Even better, a filter called "Cinematic Video" transposes the portrait
mode, until now reserved for photos, to video capture. The 3x mode also
allows for a wider angle, macro-style shooting. As for its screen, it
measures between 6.1 and 6.7 inches (depending on whether you choose the
Max option as well).
As a reminder, the iPhone 12 Pro was already an improved version, and had
an additional photo sensor dedicated to the telephoto lens, as well as a
video quality of up to 60 frames per second (against 30 on the classic
iPhone 12 and mini). The rest of the features remained broadly the same as
on the other versions.
The iPhone 13 Pro Max
Like its iPhone 12 released last year, Apple again offers a pro model for
the iPhone 13. Compared to the classic iPhone 13, it is a smaller notch,
but a camera module larger than the initial format. Great novelty in its
aesthetics, the color blue "Alpine" makes its entry into the small family
of iPhones Pro. Compared to the iPhone 12 Pro, there are new features in
terms of performance, thanks to the use of an A15 Bionic chip, which
allows for greater battery life. New technology used always, ProMotion
makes its entry in the iPhones 13 Pro. This one, used by the iPad, invites
a greater brightness of the screen.
As for its size, the Iphone 13 Pro promises a screen of 6.1 inches,
against 6.7 inches for the iPhone 13 Pro Max. It is especially the camera
of the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max that will interest fans. Thanks
to a telephoto lens with x3 zoom, it is now possible to capture photos in
macro mode. In addition, new settings are expected on the camera, to make
your portraits more and more professional.
What is the release date and pre-orders for the iPhone 13?
Patience, patience ... we will have to wait until Friday, September 24 to
get the iPhone 13, date of its marketing. According to Apple's official
website, they can be pre-ordered starting this Friday, September 17, at
2pm. However, it is still possible to buy the iPhone 12, whose price is
now more accessible.
What is the price of the iPhone 13 in its different versions?
Price-wise, you'll need to count €809 to acquire the iPhone 13 mini, and
€909 for the iPhone 13. These are the same prices as for the iPhone 12
when it is released in late 2020. Here are the official prices of the
iPhone 13 and its mini and Pro versions:
-
iPhone 13 mini: from 809 euros.
-
iPhone 13 classic: from 909 euros.
-
iPhone 13 Pro: from 1159 euros.
-
iPhone 13 Pro Max: from 1,259 euros (and up to 1,839 euros for the one
with 1TB of storage)
What are the main features of the iPhone 13?
A new, more powerful chip
Regarding the other characteristics of the iPhone, Apple reveals a new
processor and in particular an A15 chip which would make the iPhone 13
faster than its predecessors. But its capabilities will not be increased
tenfold: the A15 chip is not revolutionary (it will not be engraved in 3
nm but will remain in 5 nm like the A14 and will have the same number of
cores) and is already used on the iPad. But the A15 Bionic chip remains
50% faster than the competition.
Dual camera for the classic iPhone 13
It was the other big bet of Apple for this 2021: to offer a better photo,
and especially video. Thanks to these new sensors, the apple brand
promises more pronounced colors. Thanks to new technologies like Sensor
Shift, these sensors offer more optical stabilization to the user. In
terms of video, the iPhone 13 and 13 mini also offer a better ultra-wide
angle on the back of the camera (12 MP, f/1.6, 26 mm equivalent).
On the first images that had leaked, we could already see changes in the
position of the photo sensors. On the rear side, two sensors positioned
diagonally are planned to meet the size of several components present in
the smartphone. Among the other leaks available on the web, several have
reported a front camera notch smaller than on the iPhone 12 models. Both
leaks, however, agree on the dimensions of the upcoming classic iPhone 13
which would be identical to its predecessor namely 146.7 × 71.5 × 7.6 mm.
And it is finally true, according to the elements made official by Apple
on September 14, the notch is less wide by 20% on the new iPhone. In
addition, the Face ID system is improved, with facial recognition
effective even if the owner wears a mask. An iPhone 13 in the fashion of
Covid-19 thus.
What is the storage capacity of the iPhone 13?
This is the other big news for this fall for the apple brand. Apple
presented, during the Keynote of September, a new storage space of the
iPhone ... going up to 1 TB! Previously, the largest storage did not
exceed 512 GB. If this storage capacity is unprecedented for a smartphone,
its price has been impacted. It is necessary to count a little more than 1
800 euros to acquire this type of iPhone in the format Pro.
Will there be a pink iPhone 13?
This novelty had already leaked on the internet, before the announcements
of Tuesday, September 14. And now it's official. The iPhone 13 is now
available in pink. Other colors are also available: blue, midnight
(black), starlight (white), and red (whose funds are partly donated to the
Global Fund to fight against Covid-19).
What are the other colors of the iPhone 13?
Apple is definitely seeing a lot of colors this year. The iPhone 13 and
iPhone 13 Pro Max have a nice surprise in store with the release of the
"Alpine Blue" colour, announced on Tuesday 14 September. Will you be
tempted by the azure blue design? Or will you rather prefer the other more
classic colors? In the family of Pro, we meet the color silver, gold or
graphite (black) for this iPhone 13.
