After the first report on iPhone 13 Pro from The Verge, excerpts that 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 in their criticism of Lighting, whereas all the iPad lineup now uses USB-C.
Also, most of the reviews confirm the increased battery life that iPhone users have long dreamed of. All models of the new line have now been working longer. Specifically, the iPhone 13 mini begun to work much longer: if last year’s iPhone 12 mini was discharged by lunchtime, then the iPhone 13 mini can perhaps work all day, albeit with “light use.” That said, the iPhone 13 can last up to two days, that is really impressive.
When it comes to display,
you will find pros and cons. CNN notes improvements in maximum brightness that make the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini more straightforward to use in bright environments. However, they do not 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 should not 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 if you have an iPhone XR or iPhone 11 then replacing them by having an iPhone 13 will be more logical.
Only at that stage
the cinematic mode is apparently more of a device than the usual real “professional” feature. The Verge notes that it is fun to experiment with, but additionally warns, “It appears as though it’s a few years before it surely becomes helpful for anything besides casual use.” The WSJ criticized this video mode, saying it absolutely was difficult to distinguish the edges of objects.
As a result, most reviewers agree that the owners of the iPhone 12 are unlikely to improve their smartphones, nevertheless the rest of the fans of the iPhone 13 brand will certainly want it very much.
