iphone 13

The release of Apple’s iPhone 13 is finally here! There’s a lot of information to take into consideration if you’re looking into upgrading your mobile.

Cost

The iPhone 13 is being released in two models that have their own starting points in terms of pricing:

  1. iPhone 13 Mini: This model is starting at a price point of $799 as of the time of writing.
  2. iPhone 13 with 128 gigs of memory: The full-size phone is starting at $899.

Notable Upgrades

A quick overview of the iPhone 13 suggests that the noticeable improvements include:

  • A smaller notch
  • Considerable camera upgrades
  • Better battery life
  • Faster A15 Bionic chip
  • Brighter displays

Cinematic Video Mode

This might just be the best upgrade known about so far. It actually holds focus on the video subject while they move. This mode is also capable of blurring out the background. The focus can automatically change while you shoot footage, and you can just tap in if you want to shift the focus at any given moment.

Better Battery

Every model is supposed to offer more battery life, along these lines:

  • iPhone 13 mini = 1.5 more hours
  • iPhone 13 standard = 2.5 more hours
  • iPhone 13 Pro = 1.5 more hours
  • iPhone 13 Pro Max = 2.5 more hours

The fact that the Pro model doesn’t gain as many hours as the standard is curious, but it’s still better than the iPhone 12.

Diagonal Camera Layout

The cameras should capture nearly 40 percent more light than previous models did. The ultra-wide camera plays a big role in this.

New Colors

The standard and mini iPhone 13 models will be available in a new set of five colors:

  1. Product red
  2. Pink
  3. Midnight
  4. Blue
  5. Starlight

5G Connectivity

The modern standard for connectivity is 5G, which this phone has. The iPhone 13 has support for far more bands than the 12 did.

Display

The iPhone 13 display is 28-percent brighter than the 12 displays were. There are 800 nits of distinct brightness.

ProMotion Display

The iPhone 13 Pro models feature an innovative ProMotion display. Capable of scaling from 10Hz up to 120Hz, it can respond dynamically to the user.

Macro Photography

Another feature of the iPhone 13 Pro is being able to photograph while doing extreme close-ups on objects or people. Every model in the iPhone 13 line has cameras supporting Night mode.

Smaller Notch

The notch is still home to the Face ID technology, the earpiece, and the front-facing camera. This marks the first time a change was made to the notch since the 2017 introduction of it with the iPhone X. The reason for this change is permitting more screen real estate at the phone’s top edge.

Environmentally Conscious

Apple decided to be more climate-conscious with this phone. Dedication to environmentally friendly materials included less plastic use in the product packaging. Also, the antennas use plastic that is 100-percent recycled.

A15 Bionic Chip

This is the most advanced chip that Apple has ever put out. The standard and mini iPhone 13 models have quad-core units, while the Pro and Pro Max have five-core units. Apple claims that these run from 30- to 50-percent faster than any Android models, although testing to confirm this isn’t possible until after product release.

Release Date

The iPhone 13 is slated for global release on September 24, 2021. All four models will be available at the same time. Pre-orders will start on September 17, 2021 in the United States and the United Kingdom.

In Conclusion

The iPhone 13 has some serious upgrades and enhancements to it. Whether or not it’s worth upgrading to over your current phone is a judgment call that you can only make personally.

Prices are high since it is brand-new, and only you can know your available budget or what your current phone might have in terms of the trade-in value.
