The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro series announced by Apple on September 15th. This series is attracting attention for its evolution such as movie shooting, but I tried to summarize the main differences and main commonalities of each, what is different from the previous model iPhone 12 that continues to be sold.
① Display
The screen size for both iPhone 13 and iPhone 12 is 5.4 inches for the mini, 6.7 inches for the iPhone 13 Pro Max, and 6.1 inches for the others. The resolution depends on the screen size.
iPhone 13 Pro series has “ProMotion” Super Retina XDR displaySupports a maximum frame rate of 120Hz. It also has a function that automatically adjusts in the range of 10 to 120Hz, such as improving the frame rate during game play and dropping it during normal times.
In addition, in iPhone 13 and later, the notch part where the front camera is mounted has been reduced, enabling a wider range of image display. All 6 models of displays are OLEDIt is a display (organic EL).
② Camera
In terms of camera performance, there is a clear difference between the iPhone 12 series, iPhone 13 series, and iPhone 13 Pro series.
First, comparing the iPhone 12 series and the iPhone 13 series, the iPhone 13 series has a high-performance sensor shift optical image stabilization function as standard equipment. It also supports cinematic mode, which automatically adjusts the focus according to the subject during movie shooting.
In addition to this, the iPhone 13 Pro series has three cameras, so the optical zoom range is expanded 6 times, and a LiDAR scanner that measures the distance to the subject with a laser is also installed. In addition to being able to shoot portraits even in night mode, it has performance that is not ashamed of the name of Pro, such as recording RAW data and supporting the format “ProRes” used in feature films and images for broadcasting. I prepared.
③ Chip
The iPhone 12 series is equipped with A14 Bionic, and the iPhone 13 / iPhone 13 Pro series is equipped with A15 Bionic. The A15 Bionic has better performance due to different generations.
In addition, only the iPhone 13 Pro series has a GPU with 5 cores and higher graphic performance, so it will be suitable for games that require high-load graphic display.
④ Battery life
There is a gradual difference in battery performance, and the higher the model, the higher the battery life. There is also an intergenerational disparity between the iPhone 12 series and the iPhone 13 series.
⑤ Body material and coloring
The body material is stainless steel only for the iPhone 13 Pro series, and aluminum for the others. The color variations are different for the iPhone 12 series, iPhone 13 series, and iPhone 13 Pro series, and the iPhone 13 Pro series does not have Product Red.
⑥ Body size and weight
* All sizes are width x height x thickness
The iPhone 13 series is slightly thicker and heavier than the iPhone 12 series. However, both are within a slight difference, and it seems that there is not much difference in experience.
On the other hand, the iPhone 13 Pro has the same screen size and body size as the iPhone 13, but weighs 30g.
⑦ Capacity and price
In the iPhone 13 series, the lower limit of capacity has been increased from 128GB, and the capacity is increasing. In the iPhone 13 Pro series, the first 1TB model of the iPhone has appeared.
