iphone it's the iphone 13 you faster
chipset a bigger battery a biggersensor on the main camera and a smallernotchnot too shabby but is all that enough topeople to upgrade to the newmodel i'm will for gsm arena and let'sfind out in our full reviewlooks wise the iphone 13 doesn't exactlybreak the mold it brings the same shapeand design as last year's iphone 12 butwith one striking difference the notchcutout for the selfie cam and face id is this time around this might not seem like a big deal butever since apple introduced the notch toits iphones they've stayed committed toit so now that they've finally changedit who knows what's next on the you may notice when examining the newiphone it is slightly heavier than lastyear 10 grams to be exactand the rear cameras have a differentdiagonal arrangement maybe because ofthe larger sensor in the main camerabut at its core this is the elegantiphone design we're used to the iphone13 has a flat corning made glass backwith that signature apple logo the phoneis well balanced and easy to wield andlike last year offers a pretty good gripas well because of the flat and edgyaluminum frameand of course the iphone 13 brings ip68rated water and dust resistance appleclaims it'll survive for half an hourunder six meters of waterthe screen of the iphone 13 is similarto last year's it's a 6.1 inch superretina xdr olet protected by ceramicshield some of the toughest glass thereis while this year's iphone 13 probrings a fast 120hz refresh rate theregular model still sticks to a standard60hz one
still there is one advantage you gethere over last year and that's the maxbrightness we measured around 800 nitshere with the slider compared to around640 nits on the iphone 12. so using thephone out in the sun should be even morecomfortablethe panel has outstanding color accuracytoo no matter what brightness settingit's on and of course you get othergreat features here like deep oledblacks true tone and hdr10 and dolbyvision supportfor audio the iphone 13 has a pair ofstereo speakers one at the bottom andthe other at the top which doubles as an earpiecethey are well balanced and loud scoringvery good on our loudness charts and thesound quality here isof exceptional there's no 3.5 millimeterjack and you need to use an applelighting adapter to plug in traditional
one difference from last year's model isthat the iphone 13 has doubled basedstorage and there's also an option toget 512 gigs of storage on board notexpandable of courseand the iphone 13 brings a new chipsetthe latest apple a15 bionic this is oneof the most powerful chipsets you canon a phone and it providesincredible performance as well as 5gconnectivity
in cpu tests the iphone 13 tops thecharts scoring up to 15 percent higherthan the iphone 12. gpu performance is a
different story though because apple hasequipped this year's pro models with anextra powerful gpu which has 5 coresinstead of 4. so the vanilla iphone 13doesn't quite match the graphics scoresof the 13 pro or pro maxstill it does a great job significantlybetter than last year's model and theheaviest games run smoothly even ontheir highest settingsplus the thermals aren't too bad hereeither the iphone 13 has a 3240 milliamp hour battery capacitylarger than the2815 capacity on the iphone 12 andbattery life is better here the newmodel scored an 89 hour endurance ratingour tests and allows for at leastthree more hours of video playbackorweb browsing
but with the larger battery chargingspeed is a bit slower there is nocharger in the box but with apple's 20watt charger we're able to charge theiphone 13 from zero to 54 percent inhalf an hour there's also support forwireless charging which goes up to 15watts if you use a magsafe charger nowonto the iphone 13's dual camerasthere's a 12 megapixel main camera and a12 megapixel ultra wide just like lastbut this time around the main camfeatures a new sensor with larger pixelsas well as sensor shift megapixel photos from the main camera
are rich in detail with great contrastand low noisethe dynamicrange is not super wide butis balanced and natural and colors aretrue to lifebut like last year sometimes the foliagepresentation comes out looking smearedwe expected an improvement in thisregard because of the bigger sensoractually if you compare the iphone 13sphotos to the iphone 12s they arebasically indistinguishable and this isa pattern that continued through ourtesting despite the new sensorthe main camera can shoot portraits and itdoes a great jobthe subjects are sharp and detailed andexposure is balanced subject separationis proficient though sometimes messyhair or an object in the background maymess it up12 megapixel ultrawide photos are quitewide and have alright resolved detailgreat contrast and accurate colors thedynamic range is again balanced and notthat wide foliage looks worse here thanon the main cam with grass and treessometimes looking like an oil paintinghere's a comparison with the iphone 12and the quality is the sameneither the camera nor the processinghavechanged in low light situations nightmode kicks in automatically and it'ssuper fast to shoot and processthe photos are well balanced both noiseand exposure wise and have an incredible
amount of detail excellent colorsaturation great contrast and good
dynamic rangenight mode photos taken with the iphone12 are indistinguishable so it turns outlarger sensor on the main cam andthe new type of stabilization aren'tmaking a differenceyou can turn off the night mode and theresult is a more true to life lookingphoto these are a little softer and thecolors are more washed out but you stillhave good detail contrast dynamic rangeand exposure
finally let's go over the iphone 13'suser interface which is the latest ios15 out of the box it's not a majorupdate over ios 14 but it does bring afew new features for example there arethe focus options these are basicallyfilter profiles for your notificationsand calls which you can switch todepending on your current needsthe safari web browser has also seen anupgrade the address bar is now at thebottom and easier to reachand you can swipe left and right toswitch tabs the other new tidbitsinclude improvements in facetime tweaksin the appearance of icons andnotifications an upgraded weather appand support for new keys in the applewallet still this is essentially thesame interface we've seen before ofcourse for your biometrics there is nofingerprint reader but apple's face idwhich is fast and secureyou have home screens which you can addapps or widgets tothere's a today page on the leftmostpaneland an app library over on the right formore app storageyou can get into the notification centerand control center by swiping from theupper left and right corners theinterface is intuitive and responsive
and you get the promise of five years ofsoftware updates too
so that's apple's iphone 13. it's agreat phone one of the best on themarket you get the signature iphonedesign which is super durable and itcomes with an even smaller notchthen there's the powerful hardware thebright screen superb stereo speakers andthe excellent camera experience both inthe day and at nightoverall it's worth recommending whichyou'd expect from the latest iphone butif you have an iphone 12 already thedifferences here are too small to beworth an upgradeand keep in mind that you don't get a120hz refresh rate autofocus on theultra wide or a zoom camera unless yougo for one of the pro models
