Apple unveils new iPhone 13: Price, specs, release date and more
Apple's much-anticipated iPhone 13 models are now available for preorder.
The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are designed with stainless steel bands and rings around the phone and cameras. The back of the device is matte glass, while the front display has the same ceramic shield as the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini.
Like the iPhone 12 Pro models, the iPhone 13 Pro devices feature three camera sensors on the back of the phone instead of two: a Wide camera with a larger sensor and up to 2.2 times improved low-light performance compared to the iPhone 12 Pro, an Ultra Wide camera with a new autofocus system and a 77-millimeter Telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. For FaceTime calls and selfies, there is also a newly designed front camera that’s 20 percent smaller than previous models.
The iPhone 13 Pro devices also include the Super Retina XDR display. However, unlike the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini, it also includes ProMotion with a refresh rate up to 120Hz for a faster response time. Apple claims the iPhone 13 Pro Max offers “the longest battery life ever in an iPhone” with up to two and a half more hours of battery life compared to the iPhone 12 Pro Max. The iPhone 13 Pro, meanwhile, has one and a half more hours of battery life compared to the iPhone 12 Pro. The iPhone 13 Pro models also feature a slightly more powerful A15 Bionic processor, with a 5-core GPU compared to a 4-core GPU.
The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are available in four finishes, including a new Sierra Blue. Entry-level storage starts at 128GB, and Apple now offers a new 1TB option. The Pro models start at $999 and $1,099, respectively.
