Apple’s iPhone 13 line hits the market Friday, and it’s bringing impressive changes to the smartphones’ cameras, batteries, and performance.
After using the latest iPhones for a few days, I think it’s clear they’re worthwhile upgrades for anyone who’s rolling with anything other than an iPhone 12. If you do have a 12, then upgrading to the iPhone 13 isn’t a must — but you’ll still find welcome changes that may be worth your hard-earned cash. These changes include:
• Slick new camera features
• Faster processors
• Dramatically longer battery lifeThe 6.1-inch iPhone 13 Pro and the 6.7-inch Pro Max get very welcome upgrades in the form of Apple’s ProMotion display technology. The feature allows the Pro and Pro Max’s Super Retina XDR displays to automatically adjust their refresh rates from as low as 10Hz, or 10 frames per second, to as high as 120Hz depending on what you’re viewing.
The result is an iPhone that feels far smoother while navigating between apps, scrolling through websites, and playing games. It’s quite a noticeable difference from the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max…
As for battery life, Apple says the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13 get more than an hour of additional battery life, while the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max get more than two hours of additional usage time. And in my experience, the improvements have paid off. I used the iPhone 13 Pro Max for more than six hours throughout the day, according to the Screen Time app, and despite browsing Instagram and Twitter, getting notifications from Slack, reading emails, and watching videos, the battery still had 30% of its juice left at the end of the day.
MacDailyNews Take: Yet another great review for Apple’s iPhone 13 lineup, especially for the Pro models!
I’m on a 12 Pro & after this update, my battery life sucks.
Upgraded from an iPhone 6s Plus to the iPhone 13. It is amazing. And the same price I paid for the iPhone 6s Plus 6 yrs. ago.
I remember standing in line for the original iPhone. I paid $599 for the 8G version. Still have it and it still works.
Yes, I also paid $599 on day one June 29, 2007 for the original iPhone at the “perfect size” of 3.5 inches hailed by Jobs. Been using the SE since launch day 2016 and it is the NEW perfect size small flush form factor powerhouse. No need for a hideous “notch” and multiple camera bumps on the back that remind me of huge moles on someone’s back…
