The phones come with built in magnets which makes them compatible with the mega safe accessories and charges up to 15W with Apple’s mega safe charger. The phones support fast charging and provided 50 percent charge in 30 minutes with a 20W power adapter.

Design

The rounded edges that have been the core design of the iPhone since the invention of the iPhone 6 no longer exist starting with the iPhone 12 models. They were designed with squared off edges, a look that reverts to iPhone 4 and 5 and matches the iPad Pro.

This flat edge design is also used for the iPhone 13 line up and the look is identical to the 12 model. The flat edge design comes with an attribute, it looks modern but also familiar at the same time because this design has been used in the past.

These phones come with an all-glass front and texture back glass which sandwich a frame made from a shiny, surgical-grade stainless steel material. The colour at the back glass matches seamlessly to the stainless-steel frame.

There’s a notch at the front of the iPhone which houses:

• The true depth camera
• Speaker
• And microphone

A smaller notch with these phones offers more room for display, located at the top and sides of the phones is Antenna bands. The powered button is on the right and the volume buttons are on the left. There’s a 5G mm Wave antenna beneath the power button, a feature only limited to the US models with mm Wave support.

These models include:

Speaker holes and microphones at the bottom and lighting port for charging. The SIM slot is on the left side of the device.

There’s a square camera bump at the back of the iPhone 13 models and a triple lens camera set up. The camera bumps are bigger compared to the 12 models and the increase is transparent.

Sizes

iPhone 13 Pro

• 1 inch

iPhone 13 Pro Max

• 7 inches

These phones are thicker compared to the 12 models which makes them heavier.

iPhone 13 Pro

• Measures at 5.78 inches tall (146.7mm)
• 82 inches wide (71.5mm)
• 30 inches thick (7.65mm)

iPhone 13 Pro Max

• Measures at 6.33 inches tall (160.8mm)
• 7 inches wide (78.1mm)
• 30 inches thick (7.65mm)

Water Resistance

The phones feature an IP68 water resistant rating, they can withstand a depth of up to six meters (19.7 feet) for up to 30 minutes, this is as the same as the iPhone 12 models.

Explaining the IP68 number, the 6 means, the dust resistance in other words, these phones can hold up dust, dirt and other particles therefore 6 is high based on the resistance level. The same thing goes for the 8 which is the water resistance level, IP68 means these phones can hold up splashes, rain and other water exposure longer.

Water resistance shouldn’t be taken lightly, it’s not a license to be careless, according to Apple these phones could deteriorate due to constant water immersion. If the phone is damaged due to water immersion, Apple’s warranty is invalid.

Display

All models have the same OLED super retina XDR display, they are flexible and extends right into the chassis of each device.

There’s a 2,000,000:1 contrast ration for blacker blacks and brighter white. There’s up to 1200 nits’ peak brightness for:

• HDR Photos
• Videos
• Tv Shows
• And Movies
• Max brightness is about 1000 nits for pro models
• 800 nits for standard iPhone 13 models
• 25 percent brighter colours outdoors

iPhone 13 Pro Features:

• A resolution of 2532 x 1170 by 460 pixels per inch

iPhone 13 Pro Max

• A resolution of 2778 x 1284 by 458 pixels per inch

Wide colour supports brings vivid, true to life colours

True tone matches the white balance of the display to the ambient lighting. This is good for paper like viewing experience which makes it easier on the eyes. A support for the haptic touch is the fingerprint resistant oleophatic coating which provides haptic feedback as you interact with the display.

Display mate claims that the iPhone 13 has the best smartphone display ever. The phones therefore earn a grade of A+due to:

• ProMmoton technology
• HDR
• Max Brightness
• Colour accuracy
• Constant Ratio
• And More

Smaller Notch

The notch that houses the true depth camera is slimmer and 20 percent less wide compared to the notch used in the previous models. The comparison between iPhone 12 and 13 confirms that even though the notch is less wide it’s just a bit taller than the one in the 12 models.

The width of the notch was reduced to create more space on the screen, IOS seems not to be taken advantage of this extra space. There’s enough place to display battery’s percentage on the right side of the notch on the iPhone 13 Pro Max but not included in the display feature.

Apple implemented Pro motion technology for the first time in the 13 models because of a low power display backlighting. This was introduced to the iPad pro in 2018 and offers adaptive refresh rates that ranges from 10Hz to 120Hz.

The display refresh rate is based on what you have on the screen. If you’re reading from a website that’s static, the iPhone will use a lower refresh rate. If you are watching a movie or playing games or scrolling through a content, you’ll see a higher 120Hz refresh rate which provides a smoother and more responsive experience.

The speed of scrolling is matched by the Pro Motion technology because it’s able to accelerate and decelerate to match scrolling speed.

Ceramic Shield

Apple is stuck on ceramic shield, a material that offers better protection for the iPhone 13 models. An infusing nano was used to create the ceramic cover – ceramic crystal in a glass. Ceramic crystal is manipulated for optimisation for clarity while maintaining toughness with the display created in partnership with corning.

Apple claims that the ceramic shield is tougher compared to other smartphones glass. It has a dual-ion exchange process which ensures protection against scratches and wear and tear.

A15 Bionic Chip

These models use the A15 new chip that offers a better performance and efficiency compared to the A14 chip used in the iPhone 12 models. The A15 chip has been rated by Apple as the fastest smartphone chip with two performance cores and four efficiency cores.

The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max A15 chip come with an additional 5-core GPU that is not available in the standard 13 models. It offers up to 50 percent graphic performance compared to any other smartphone chip.

The CPU in all 13 models offers the same capabilities. They are approximately 10 percent faster in single core performance and approximately 18 percent faster in multi core performance in comparison to iPhone 12 models.

Neural Engine

The 16-core neural engine’s performance is up to 15.8 trillion operations per seconds. Its powerful feature is compared to a cinematic mode and smart HDR 4.

Haptic touch is enabled true a smaller taptic engine in the 2020 iPhones.

Neural Engine

The 16-Core neural engine is 80 percent faster than the previous generation neural engine. The machine learning accelerators are about 70 percent faster. This neural engine will complete 11 trillion operations per seconds, therefore the application of deep fusion improvements to photo are faster than ever.

Other Improvements include support for:

• Dolby vision recording
• Smart HDR 3 for true to life colour shifts in photos
• An advanced temporal noise reduction that reduces noise in the videos

These models are the first model to be equipped with LiDAR scanner. Lidar scanner was introduced in the 2020 iPad Pro models.  The scanner measures how long it takes the light to reflect from the objects around you which allows you to create a depth map of the room.

In conclusion 

These phones are very strong because they were made from solid materials which also makes the phones incredibly durable. New features are delivered by IOS updates including security enhancements. That makes your data more secured.
