You won't consider any iPhone model below the new iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max if you always buy the finest of the best, regardless of price. Of course, as with any new generation, you get more power and general upgrades, but the new iPhone 13 Pro models' key selling points are its photography capabilities, which Apple describes as "the most significant leap yet." Indeed, Apple appears to be targeting both amateur and professional video creators, perhaps creating a new market for ultra-premium devices.
Let's speak about pricing while we're on the subject of premium. The iPhone 13 Pro costs Rs. 1,19,900 for 128GB of storage, Rs. 1,29,900 for 256GB, Rs. 1,49,900 for 512GB, and Rs. 1,69,900 for the new 1TB tier. The larger iPhone 13 Pro Max is Rs. 10,000 more expensive for the same four storage options, costing Rs. 1,29,900 for 128GB, Rs. 1,39,900 for 256GB, Rs. 1,59,900 for 512GB, and Rs. 1,79,900 for 1TB.
This is the first time Apple has provided a 1TB iPhone, and the fact that there are four storage options for the same phones at the same time is unusual. That's a significant difference, with the top-end variants of each model providing 8X the space of the base models. The 128GB units have one peculiar restriction: you can only record ProRes video at 1080p 30fps, whereas the three higher storage tiers allow you to record 4K 30fps. This might be due to poorer write bandwidth or simply because Apple doesn't want you to run out of storage space too quickly — benchmarks will tell more once these phones hit the market.
You can also choose from four different colors: Graphite, Silver, Gold, and Sierra Blue, which is the new generation's distinctive color. Sierra Blue appears light and brilliant in Apple's launch event and promotional photos, which would have been unexpected. It's more of a blue-grey in real life, and it's actually rather subtle and smooth. The Sierra Blue coating was created using a new "nanometre-scale" ceramic deposition process, according to Apple.
Both the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 89,900 Pro Max have a frosted back glass with a matte feel. Both phones are thankfully non-slip, albeit the larger iPhone 13 Pro Max's flat sides and prominent edges make it a little difficult to hold. The surgical-grade stainless steel bands that wrap around the sides of both phones are quite glossy and prone to picking up fingerprints.
Except for the new back camera module design on the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini, there's hardly anything that distinguishes the two high-end devices from their iPhone 12-series predecessors unless you opt for Sierra Blue. When you take up the iPhone 13 Pro or iPhone 13 Pro Max, you'll note that they're slightly thicker and heavier than their predecessors.
There are no differences in capabilities between the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max this year; the only variables are screen size and battery capacity. Last year, you had no choice but to pay 109,999 for Apple's greatest camera implementation with sensor-shift stabilization, but this year, the choice between the two comes down to personal preference.
Other than the phone, a USB Type-C to Lightning cable, a SIM eject pin, and an Apple sticker – plain white, not color-coordinated like the ones that come with the new iMac – there's nothing else in the package.
With a weight of 238 grams, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is a substantial device. There's no avoiding the reality that this is a large phone that fits awkwardly in a trouser pocket. The iPhone 13 Pro is more practical, but it weighs 203 grams, which is a little more than normal. Both variants are water and dust resistant to IP68 standards, and the fronts feature Apple's Ceramic Shield material, which is believed to be more durable than conventional glass.
For the first time since the iPhone X, Apple has modified the shape of the notch. It's now both narrower and deeper. It's still evident, but after using these phones for a long, you'll be able to tell whether it's better or worse than previously. The 120Hz ProMotion display is a long-overdue innovation that makes the UI feel more responsive, even when compared to an iPhone 13. There is no always-on display, as had been speculated before the debut.
Apple's new A15 Bionic SoC, which features two strong CPU cores and four more efficient cores, as well as an integrated five-core GPU and 16-core Neural Engine, is on the inside. The picture signal processor has been strengthened considerably, according to Apple. Apple does not reveal RAM amounts or battery sizes but claims that the iPhone 13 Pro Max has up to two and a half hours more battery life than the iPhone 12 Pro Max and that the iPhone 13 Pro has one and a half hours more battery life than the iPhone 12 Pro 99,990.
The camera technology has been fully redesigned as well, and all phones have identical capabilities. The wide camera now has an f/1.5 aperture, the ultra-wide camera now has an f/1.8 aperture and the ability to take macro photos, and the telephoto camera now has an unexpected f/2.8 aperture with 3X optical zoom, up from 2.5X. All three cameras have a 12-megapixel resolution. The Pro iPhones have ProRAW stills and ProRes video recording as standard features.
