![]() It bothered me a little then, too, but this is another level. I know, I know-the past several iPhones already did that to some degree. But something else about this change really bugs me: it makes the phone wobble wildly when placed flat on a table or desk. It doesn’t look any better or worse than last year’s camera bump. Colossal camerasīut the slightly shrunken notch is not the most noticeable design change compared to the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. Apple hasn’t made any changes to its own software to make use of this reclaimed space. This mainly matters for some full-screen games or other apps with custom interfaces, whose designers just chose to pretend like the notch wasn’t there when laying out the UI. Apple hasn’t made many specific performance claims about how the A15 compares to last year’s A14, but we know the new SoC has a 6-core CPU with two performance and four efficiency cores, a 5-core (in the Pro models) or 4-core (in the regular iPhone 13 models) GPU, and a 16-core NPU (that's "neural processing unit," for hardware-accelerated machine learning). That more efficient processor is the A15. When it comes to lithium-ion batteries, you can’t change the laws of physics-but you can brute force them. Apple has rejiggered the internals in all the phones to make room for more battery capacity. This is thanks to several things, like a more efficient processor, the ProMotion display in the Pro phones (we’ll get to that soon), and importantly, bigger batteries. It’s a big leap up to the iPhone 13 Pro, which claims to offer 20 hours-and the iPhone 13 Pro Max promises a remarkable 25 hours. Battery lifeĪpple claims that the iPhone 13 mini can last for 13 hours when playing a streaming video, and the iPhone 13 is rated for 15 hours. ![]() Now they're the same, so it's just about screen size and battery life. ![]() For reference, last year saw the Max get the better camera system. Now it’s the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max that aren’t all that different from each other. This time around, the Pro model has some more going for it: a better camera system, faster graphics, and markedly improved battery life over the iPhone 13. The two phones were not significantly differentiated beyond nicer materials and the inclusion of a zoom lens and a lidar sensor in the pricier phone. Last year, I stopped short of recommending the iPhone 12 Pro because the iPhone 12 offered enough. iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max cameras. ![]()
