After the first report on iPhone 13 Pro from The Verge, excerpts from which we have already published, reviews of CNN, Engadget, Wired and other authoritative publications appeared on the Web.

Reviewers are praising the smartphone’s improved cameras and display,

 

dropping 64GB and upgrading to 128GB of flash storage. In addition they agree inside their criticism of Lighting, whereas the majority of the iPad lineup now uses USB-C.

Also, all the reviews confirm the increased battery life that iPhone users have long dreamed of. All types of the brand new line have already been working longer. In particular, the iPhone 13 mini began to work much longer: if last year’s iPhone 12 mini was discharged by lunchtime, then your iPhone 13 mini could work all day long, albeit with “light use.” That being said, the iPhone 13 can last as much as two days, which will be really impressive.

As for the display,

 

you can find pros and cons. CNN notes improvements in maximum brightness which make the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini more straightforward to use in bright environments. However, they don’t support 120Hz refresh rates, which are only found in the iPhone 13 Pro or iPhone 13 Pro Max. Wired also praises 120 Hz displays – adaptive for efficient energy savings.

New smartphones take great pictures, but revolutionary changes shouldn’t be expected. Wired writes that smartphones are “still excellent” in photography, even though the WSJ warns that iPhone 12 owners probably shouldn’t change their smartphones. Differences between photos taken with iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 are difficult to notice, although when you have an iPhone XR or iPhone 11 then replacing them by having an iPhone 13 would be more logical.

 

 

Only at that stage

 

the cinematic mode is apparently more of a gimmick than a real “professional” feature. The Verge notes that it is fun to experiment with, but also warns, “It looks like it has a couple of years before it surely becomes useful for anything other than casual use.” The WSJ criticized this video mode, saying it had been difficult to distinguish the edges of objects.

As a result, most reviewers concur that the owners of the iPhone 12 are unlikely to change their smartphones, but the rest of the fans of the iPhone 13 brand will surely like it very much.
