Приближается 2022 год. Это означает, что пора собрать все слухи и инсайды и ответить на вопрос, что нам готовит Apple в следующие 12 месяцев.

iPhone

Начнём пока что с главного устройства компании. Судя по всему, в 2022 году Apple выпустит сразу пять новых смартфонов.

iPhone SE третьего поколения

Первым айфоном станет новая итерация SE. Если вы ожидаете дешёвый аналог mini, то охладите свои безудержные фантазии — такой смартфон дешёвым не сделать. Мы получим тот же iPhone SE (2020), но с обновлённой начинкой — на системе-на-чипе A15 Bionic.

Скорее всего, Apple будет делать акцент на работе в сетях пятого поколения. «Самый дешёвый iPhone с 5G!» И это то, что будет продавать смартфон в Китае, Японии, США и некоторых странах Европы. Свои 5 % от доли продажи всех айфонов он точно займёт, а это очень высокий показатель для смартфона, производство которого практически ничего не стоит.

До России iPhone SE третьего поколения также дойдёт, но нашему покупателю он будет интересен не очень сильно. У нас SE будут хаять из-за устаревшего дизайна с очень большими рамками и относительно высокой цены — скорее всего, она сохранится на уровне $399 за базовую версию.

Судя по всему, Apple назовёт его iPhone SE Plus. Но в размерах смартфон останется прежним. Видимо, Plus означает 5G. Логика пока не очень понятна.

Мы предполагаем, что новый iPhone SE покажут весной 2022 года. Ориентировочно — в марте.

iPhone 14

Осенью 2022 года снова выйдет сразу четыре айфона. Но на этот раз в модельном ряду будут смартфоны не трёх размеров, а двух. Преемника iPhone 13 mini в этом поколении не будет. Вместо него мы ожидаем iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro и iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Другое нововведение, на которое обратит внимание каждый второй, — айфоны лишатся «моноброви». Вместо неё в экране будет отверстие с фронтальной камерой, а система датчиков Face ID переедет под дисплей.

Ещё ходят слухи, что новые айфоны наконец-то перейдут на Type-C. Но вот верится в это с очень большим трудом. Хотя после того как айфоны научились снимать в ProRes, потребность в новом стандарте значительно усилилась.

Из неочевидных для России плюсов — устройства серии iPhone 14 будут поддерживать Wi-Fi 6E.

Скорее всего, семейство iPhone 14 покажут в первой половине сентября.

AirPods Pro

Обновлений наушников в следующем году будет не так много. Судя по всему, Apple выкатит лишь новое поколение «прошек». Из новшеств — слегка переработанный дизайн и подключение кейса к «Локатору»:

Слух: AirPods Pro 2 представят в третьем квартале 2022 года

Если инсайдеры правы, то релиз состоится в третьем квартале 2022 года, то есть наушники покажут вместе с айфонами в сентябре.

Apple Watch

Тут ожидается целый ворох новинок.

Apple Watch Series 8

Аналитик Росс Янг, который славится своими верными предсказаниями насчёт дисплеев, утверждает, что восьмое поколение выйдет сразу в трёх размерах. Помимо 41- и 45-мм будут ещё одни часы с дисплеем бóльшего размера.

Также Apple работает над внедрением датчика, способного измерять уровень сахара в крови. Часы будут делать это без проколов кожи. Ради таких технологий, которые могут быть интересны порядка 400 млн человек в мире, Apple уже заключила соответствующий контракт с Rockley Photonics. Этот стартап как раз и занимается созданием датчиков для неинвазивного измерения уровня сахара в крови.

Apple Watch получат неинвазивный глюкометр

Другие Apple Watch

Помимо восьмого поколения нас ожидает ещё две новинки — обновление SE, а также некие спортивные часы для «хардкорных спортсменов».

В чём будет суть обновления Apple Watch SE, пока неизвестно. Скорее всего, они получат дизайн в стиле Series 7 с увеличенным размером дисплея.

Интересна и версия для спортсменов. Такие часы получат прорезиненный корпус, который будет более долговечен, чем существующие сейчас варианты. Об этих часах впервые рассказал Марк Гурман из Bloomberg ещё в марте этого года. Он утверждал, что разработка часов может прекратиться в любой момент. Однако об их существовании Гурман напомнил в прошедшее воскресенье в своей колонке Power On, так что ждём:

Bloomberg: Apple готовит «защищённые» Apple Watch для хардкорных спортсменов

Не обойдётся и без обновлений планшетов. Тут Apple готовит сразу три новинки.

iPad Pro

Судя по всему, самый производительный планшет Apple получит новый дизайн. Компания тестирует прототипы со стеклянной задней панелью, чтобы добавить в «прошку»… Беспроводную зарядку! Идея очень странная, на мой взгляд.

Bloomberg: в 2022 году выйдет iPad Pro со стеклянным корпусом и MagSafe

Другие iPad

Apple обновит Air и самый простой iPad. Скорее всего, в iPad Air пятого поколения просто обновят железо.

Про iPad десятого поколения известно не очень много. Авторитетные инсайдеры пока ничего не говорили о нём. Но если смотреть на обычные слухи, то уже который год мы слышим писк о дизайне в стиле iPad Air. Каким образом в этом случае Apple будет дифференцировать начальный айпэд и Air, непонятно. Вероятно, там будет железо попроще и не будет стереозвука. Пока неясно, будет ли этого достаточно, что не увести аудиторию дорого планшета на более дешёвый.

2022 станет годом, когда Apple полностью перейдёт с Intel на собственные системы-на-чипе. В связи с этим мы ожидаем презентацию сразу нескольких компьютеров.

iMac Pro

Одним из первых, судя по всему, покажут новый iMac, который будет стоять на уровень выше 24-дюймовой версии. Вероятно, Apple назовёт его iMac Pro. Тот же Росс Янг недавно сказал, что диагональ дисплея аймака не увеличится в сравнении с предыдущей моделью и составит 27 дюймов, а частота обновления будет 120 Гц:

Слух: Apple представит iMac Pro на Apple Silicon в первой половине 2022 года

Скорее всего, начинка iMac Pro будет идентична недавно показанным MacBook Pro: M1 Pro и M1 Max.

MacBook Air

Apple изменит дизайн своего самого лёгкого макбука. Он получит несколько вариантов цветового оформления, белую клавиатуру и белые рамки вокруг дисплея.

Концепт: MacBook Air (2022) с «чёлкой», белой рамкой и зарядкой MagSafe

25 Октябрь 2021

Вероятно, MacBook Air станет одним из макбуков, которые продемонстрируют возможности Apple M2 — новой компьютерной системы-на-чипе.

Не стоит забывать и про MacBook Air с 15-дюймовым экраном. Пока об этом макбуке ничего не слышно, но было бы неплохо получить такой компьютер.

Bloomberg: в MacBook Pro вернётся слот для SD-карты, а у MacBook Air появится 15-дюймовая версия

Базовый MacBook Pro

Непонятный многим ноутбук, существование которого сложно как-то объяснить. Ходили слухи, что его снимут с производства. Но, если верить Марку Гурману, он до сих пор находится в дорожной карте Apple на следующий год.

Скорее всего, базовый MacBook Pro также получит Apple M2, а главным отличием от Air станет наличие кулеров — как и с нынешним поколением. По крайней мере, это мои предположения.

Touch Bar умрёт окончательно, а нынешний базовый MacBook Pro на M1 станет последним ноутбуком с этой штукой.

Mac mini

Неттоп также получит новый дизайн:

Инсайдер показал, как будет выглядеть продвинутый Mac mini

А вот по железу пока непонятно: либо Apple и дальше будет его продвигать как стартовый компьютер и самый дешёвый «вход» в компьютерную экосистему, либо всё-таки представит более профессиональные версии для работы. По некоторым слухам, Apple выпустит версии на M1 Pro и M1 Max.

Mac Pro

Если верить инсайдерам, нас ждёт сразу две версии Mac Pro. Первая будет идеологическим продолжением нынешний «тёрки»: дизайн будет очень похож, разве что корпус станет гораздо компактнее.

Также будет ещё некий компьютер. Судя по всему, он станет ещё компактнее, корпус будет полностью алюминиевым, а внешне он будет напоминать Power Mac G4 Cube:

А дальше странности. Один из компьютеров получит собственную систему-на-чипе, которая будет гораздо мощнее нынешнего M1 Max. У него будет до сорока ядер центрального процесса и графическая плата, которая получит до 128 ядер.

Второй компьютер будет работать на Intel Xeon Scalable третьего поколения. Наличие такой версии связано с опасением Apple, что собственная система-на-чипе может не выдержать конкуренции с профессиональными рабочими станциями на Intel. Но впоследствии компания откажется и от такой версии и оставит только собственные решения.

MR-гарнитура

Продукт из категории One more thing. Apple уже давно намекает, что за дополненной реальностью будущее. Мы не понимали, в чём соль, но теперь компания готовится ударить со всей силой и показать гарнитуру смешанной реальности.

Мощность этой гарнитуры, которая получит сразу два процессора, будет сопоставима с макбуками на M1. Согласно инсайдам Марка Гурмана, Apple хочет, чтобы гарнитура решала задачи трёх сфер — игр, потребления контента и общения:

В центре внимания гарнитуры могут быть игры. С учётом того, что она получит несколько процессоров, кулер, дисплеи с очень высоким разрешением и собственный App Store. Apple будет позиционировать устройство как мечту разработчиков игр.

Далее потребление медиа. Я ожидаю, что Apple будет работать с партнёрами над созданием контента, который можно будет смотреть в VR на этой гарнитуре.

Коммуникация. Появятся Animoji и возможности VR в FaceTime. Это может стать Zoom’ом нового поколения.

Очень интересно посмотреть на этот продукт. Особенно с учётом желания Apple сделать его одним из главных устройств компании через десять лет:

The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini

Contents

Introduced on September 14, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini are Apple’s newest flagship iPhones on the more affordable end, and are being sold alongside the more expensive iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini are ideal for those who don’t need pro-level camera features.

The 5.4-inch iPhone 13 mini is the successor to the iPhone 12 mini, while the 6.1-inch iPhone 13 is the replacement for the iPhone 12. Both of the new iPhone 13 models are nearly identical in design to the iPhone 12 models, featuring flat edges, an aerospace-grade aluminum enclosure, a glass back, and a slight increase in thickness (7.65mm). The iPhone 13 models are available in Pink, Blue, Midnight (black), Starlight (silver/gold), and (PRODUCT)RED.

Both of the new models feature Super Retina XDR Displays that are 28 percent brighter. The iPhone 13 mini has a 2340×1080 resolution with 476 pixels per inch, while the iPhone 13 has a 2532×1170 resolution with 460 pixels per inch. Both iPhones feature 1200 nits max brightness for HDR, along with True Tone to match the color temperature of the display to the ambient light, Wide Color for rich, vivid hues, and Haptic Touch for feedback.

The front-facing TrueDepth camera system has been updated and the Face ID notch is now smaller, taking up less overall space. Like last year’s models, the iPhone 13 and 13 mini feature a Ceramic Shield cover glass that is infused with nano-ceramic crystals for better protection from drops. IP68 water and dust resistance is included, and the new iPhones can hold up to submersion in 6 meters of water for up to 30 minutes.

An upgraded A15 Bionic Chip powers the new iPhones. It features a 6-core CPU with 2 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores, a 4-core GPU (one less GPU core than the Pro models), and a 16-core Neural Engine.

There’s a new diagonal dual-lens rear camera with 12 megapixel Wide and Ultra Wide cameras. The Wide camera features an improved f/1.6 aperture that lets in 47 percent more light and Sensor-Shift Stabilization, while the Ultra Wide camera features an improved f/2.4 aperture for improved low light performance.

Along with the standard Portrait Mode, Night Mode, Time-Lapse and other photographic capabilities, the iPhone 13 models gain Cinematic Mode, a feature that uses rack focus to seamlessly shift focus from one subject to another, artfully blurring the background and creating movie-quality depth effects. Cinematic mode shoots in Dolby HDR and the depth of field and blur can be adjusted using the iPhone’s camera app. The iPhone 13 models also support 4K video recording at up to 60 fps.

Smart HDR 4 recognizes up to four people in a photo and optimizes contrast, lighting, and skin tones for each one, and Deep Fusion, a carry over from iPhone 12, activates in mid to low-light scenes to bring out texture and detail.

Photographic Styles are an upgraded kind of filter that applies selectively to an image, muting colors or boosting vividness without impacting skin tones. There are Vibrant, Rich Contrast, Warm, and Cool options, along with settings for Tone and Warmth for customization and refining.

Apple’s iPhone 13 and 13 mini can be unlocked with the Face ID facial recognition system, which works with the 12-megapixel front-facing camera that supports Smart HDR 4, Deep Fusion, Night Mode, Cinematic Mode, Night Mode Selfies, and more.

5G connectivity is included for better quality video streaming, higher-definition FaceTime calls, and improved gaming, but the super fast mmWave speeds are again limited to major cities in the United States. Slower sub-6GHz 5G speeds are available in more rural areas in the U.S. and in other countries, and there’s support for more 5G bands for 5G connectivity in more places.

The iPhone 13 and 13 mini support WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0, plus they include a U1 Ultra Wideband chip for spatial awareness.

Gigabit LTE is supported when 5G isn’t available, and to preserve battery life when using 5G, a Smart Data Mode reverts to an LTE connection when 5G speeds aren’t necessary. The new iPhone 13 models offer dual eSIM support and don’t come with a physical SIM by default, but there’s still a nano-SIM slot.

Battery life has improved significantly thanks to larger batteries and the more efficient A15 chip. The iPhone 13 mini offers up to 1.5 hours more battery life than the iPhone 12 mini, and the iPhone 13 offers up to 2.5 hours more battery life than the iPhone 12.

Storage space starts at 128GB and goes up to 512GB at the high end. There’s a built-in three-axis gyro, an accelerometer, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, and barometer.

Like last year’s iPhones, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini have built-in magnets and are compatible with MagSafe accessories, charging at up to 15W with Apple’s MagSafe Charger. The iPhones also support fast charging, which provides 50 percent charge in 30 minutes with a 20W power adapter.

There is no power adapter or EarPods included with the iPhone 13 and 13 mini, and these accessories must be purchased separately. They do ship with a USB-C to Lightning cable for charging purposes.

Pricing and Availability

Pricing on the iPhone 13 mini starts at $699, while pricing on the iPhone 13 starts at $799, and there were no increases in prices this year. Pre-orders for the new iPhone 13 models started on Friday, September 17 at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time, with the first devices arriving to customers on Friday, September 24.

Reviews

Reviewers have been impressed with the iPhone 13’s battery life improvements, but generally felt that it is only an iterative refresh over last year’s iPhone 12.

The Verge’s Dieter Bohn said that battery life this year is «excellent,» pointing to real-world tests. On the smaller iPhone 13 mini, Engadget said that while it is improved, it is «still shorter than the average smartphone.»

With regard to the camera, Bohn said that «details are sharp and accurate, colors are rich without being oversaturated, focusing is fast and reliable, portrait mode is good enough to use day to day, and low light and night sight are both exceptional.» The Wall Street Journal’s Joanna Stern says that while the camera improvements with the iPhone 13 are welcome, they alone are not sufficient enough to convince an iPhone 12 user to upgrade.

CNET said that performance and battery life are solid and that the iPhone 13 will be a reliable option for the majority of people.

Issues

Some iPhone 13 Pro users have reported that they are unable to use the Unlock with Apple Watch feature. Apple has now confirmed that this issue is a bug, and a fix is in the works. It has been addressed in the iOS 15.0.1 update.

Design

With the launch of the iPhone 12, Apple did away with the rounded edges that had been used for iPhones since the iPhone 6, instead adopting a flat-sided design with squared off edges, a look that harkens back to the iPhone 4 and 5 and matches the iPad Pro.

Apple is using that same flat-edged look for the entire iPhone 13 lineup, and the iPhone 13 models have nearly the same body design as the iPhone 12 models they replace. There’s an all-glass front and a colorful all-glass back that’s housed in a color-matched aluminum frame.

There’s a notch on the front display of the iPhone 13 that, houses the TrueDepth Camera, speaker, and microphone. The notch is smaller this year, allowing for more overall display area. A set of antenna bands can be found at the top and sides of the phone, along with the power button on the right and volume/silence buttons on the left. Underneath the power button there’s a 5G mmWave antenna, but this antenna will only be included on iPhone models sold in the U.S.

The iPhone 13 models have speaker holes and microphones at the bottom, along with a Lightning port for charging purposes. The SIM slot is located on the left side of the device.

A square camera bump is located at the back of the iPhone 13 models, and there’s a new diagonal lens setup that’s a departure from the camera design of the iPhone 12, which featured lenses in a vertical array. According to Apple, the diagonal layout allowed room for new camera technology like sensor-shift optical image stabilization.

Sizes

The iPhone 13 models come in 5.4 and 6.1-inch sizes, with the 5.4-inch iPhone 13 Pro positioned as Apple’s smallest iPhone. This is the last year that Apple is planning to offer the smaller size, according to rumors, as its predecessor, the iPhone 12 mini, did not sell well.

Compared to the iPhone 12 lineup, the iPhone 13 and 13 mini are thicker and heavier.

The iPhone 13 mini is 5.18 inches tall (131.5mm), 2.53 inches wide (64.2mm) and 0.30 inches thick (7.65mm), while the iPhone 13 is 5.78 inches tall (146.7mm), 2.82 inches wide (71.5mm), and 0.30 inches thick (7.65).

The mini is the lightest phone in the iPhone 13 lineup at 4.97 ounces (141 grams), followed by the iPhone 13 at 6.14 ounces (174 grams).

Colors

Apple has been offering its standard iPhone lineup in a range of bright colors for several years now. The iPhone 13 and 13 mini come in a series of new colors that include Starlight (a mixture between silver and gold), Midnight (black), Pink, Blue, and (PRODUCT)RED.

There is some overlap between the colors of the iPhone 13 and the colors of the prior-generation iPhone 12 models, which came in White, Black, Blue, Green, (PRODUCT)RED, and Purple, but the Starlight and Pink shades are new. The blue is also a lighter shade, while the red is more vivid.

Water Resistance

The iPhone 13 and 13 mini feature an IP68 water resistant rating. The smartphones are able to withstand a depth of up to six meters (19.7 feet) for up to 30 minutes, identical to the iPhone 12 models.

In the IP68 number, the 6 refers to dust resistance (and means the iPhone 13 can hold up to dirt, dust, and other particulates), while the 8 pertains to water resistance. IP6x is the highest dust resistance rating that exists. With the IP68 water resistance rating, the iPhone 13 can hold up to splashes, rain, and accidental water exposure, but intentional water exposure should be avoided if possible.

Water and dust resistance are not permanent conditions, according to Apple, and can deteriorate over time as a result of normal wear. Apple’s warranty does not cover liquid damage, which means it’s best to use caution when it comes to liquid exposure.

Display

All of the iPhone 13 models feature the same OLED Super Retina XDR display, which is flexible and extends right into the chassis of each device.

There’s a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio for blacker blacks and brighter whites, and up to 1200 nits peak brightness for HDR photos, videos, TV shows, and movies. Typical max brightness is 800 nits for the standard iPhone 13 models, 200 nits lower than the Pro models.

The 5.4-inch iPhone 13 mini has a resolution of 2340×1080 with 476 pixels per inch, and the 6.1-inch iPhone 13 features a resolution of 2532 x 1170 with 460 pixels per inch.

Wide color support brings vivid, true-to-life colors, and True Tone matches the white balance of the display to the ambient lighting for a paper-like viewing experience that’s easier on the eyes. There’s also a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating and support for Haptic Touch, which provides haptic feedback when interacting with the display.

Smaller Notch

Apple slimmed down the notch that houses the TrueDepth camera system, and it’s 20 percent less wide than the notch used in prior iPhone models. Comparisons between the iPhone 12 models and iPhone 13 models have confirmed that though less wide, the new notch is just a bit taller than the prior notch.

Ceramic Shield

Apple is continuing to use the «Ceramic Shield» material that delivers better drop protection for the iPhone 13 models. The Ceramic Shield display cover is made by infusing nano-ceramic crystals into glass. The ceramic crystals were manipulated to optimize for clarity while maintaining toughness, with the display created in partnership with Corning.

According to Apple, Ceramic Shield is tougher than any smartphone glass, with a dual-ion exchange process ensuring protection against scratches and everyday wear and tear.

In drop tests, iPhone 13 models have shown no improvements in durability compared to iPhone 12 models, which is not a surprise as they feature the same Ceramic Shield display and glass body.

A15 Bionic Chip

All of the iPhone 13 models use Apple’s new A15 chip, which offers performance and efficiency improvements over the A14 chip used in the iPhone 12. There are two performance cores and four efficiency cores, and the A15 chip in the iPhone 13 models is only surpassed by the version in the iPhone 13 Pro models.

The A15 chip in the iPhone 13 and 13 mini features a 4-core GPU, which is one less core than is available in the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max. For this reason, the iPhone 13 Pro and the Pro Max offer the fastest GPU performance, but the standard iPhone 13 models aren’t too far behind.

The iPhone 13 Pro models offer 50 percent faster graphics performance compared to the iPhone 12 Pro models, while the iPhone 13 models offer 15 percent faster graphics performance.

When it comes to the CPU, the iPhone 13 models are approximately 10 percent faster in single-core performance and approximately 18 percent faster in multi-core performance compared to the iPhone 12 models.

Testing by AnandTech indicates that the A15 is even faster than Apple’s own estimates and is 62 percent faster than competing smartphones.

Neural Engine

The 16-core Neural Engine is able to perform up to 15.8 trillion operations per second, and it powers features like Cinematic Mode and Smart HDR 4.

The iPhone 13 models have 4GB RAM, which is 2GB less RAM than the iPhone 13 Pro models. RAM has not changed from the iPhone 12 to the iPhone 13, and the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro models also had 4GB and 6GB RAM, respectively.

Storage Space

All iPhone 13 models start with 128GB of storage, and the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini can be ordered with up to 512GB storage space. That’s half the maximum storage space of the iPhone 13 Pro models, which come with up to 1TB.

TrueDepth Camera and Face ID

For biometric authentication purposes, the iPhone 13 models use Face ID, the facial recognition system that was first introduced in 2017. Face ID components are housed in the TrueDepth camera system in the display notch, which is smaller this year.

Face ID is used across iOS tasks for unlocking the iPhone, allowing access to third-party passcode-protected apps, confirming app purchases, and authenticating Apple Pay payments.

Face ID works through a set of sensors and cameras. A Dot Projector projects more than 30,000 invisible infrared dots onto the surface of the skin to create a 3D facial scan that maps the curves and planes of each face, with the scan read by an infrared camera.

The facial depth map is relayed to the A15 chip where it is transformed into a mathematical model that the iPhone uses to authenticate identity. Face ID works in low light and in the dark, and with hats, beards, glasses, sunglasses, scarves, and other accessories that partially obscure the face.

For face masks, which do not work with Face ID, there’s an «Unlock with Apple Watch» feature for convenience. Unlock with Apple Watch allows iPhone users to take advantage of an unlocked and authenticated Apple Watch as a secondary authentication measure to unlock their devices when wearing a mask. It can’t be used to authenticate Apple Pay or App Store purchases, and it can’t unlock apps that require a Face ID scan. In these situations, a mask needs to be removed or a passcode needs to be used instead.

Front-Facing Camera Features

In addition to powering facial recognition, the 12-megapixel f/2.2 camera in the TrueDepth camera system is also a front-facing selfie/FaceTime camera with many of the same features that are available for the rear-facing camera.

With the A15 chip, the iPhone 13 models support many of the photographic capabilities that are available with the rear cameras, including Night mode for selfies, Smart HDR 4, Dolby Vision HDR recording, and Deep Fusion, along with ProRes and the new Cinematic Mode for capturing videos with movie-like depth of field changes.

4K video recording, QuickTake video, Slo-mo video, Portrait Mode, Portrait Lighting, and the new Photographic Styles feature for selectively applying edits are all supported.

Dual-Lens Rear Camera

The iPhone 13 and 13 mini include a diagonal dual-lens camera system. The Wide lens features an f/1.6 aperture, while the Ultra Wide features an f/2.4 aperture. The updated Ultra Wide camera offers better low light performance, and the updated Wide camera lets in 47 percent more light.

There is no Telephoto lens in the iPhone 13 and 13 mini, so these models are limited to 2x optical zoom out and digital zoom up to 5x.

Sensor-shift optical image stabilization, a feature once limited to the Pro models, is available across theiPhone 13 lineup.

Camera Features

• Smart HDR 4 — Recognizes up to four people in a scene and optimizes contrast, lighting, and even skin tones for each person so everyone looks their best.
• Photographic Styles — Photographic Styles are smart, adjustable filters that can do things like boost or mute colors without affecting skin tone. Styles apply selectively to an image, unlike a filter that’s applied to the entire image. Photographic Styles include Vibrant (boosts colors), Rich Contrast (darker shadows and deeper colors), Warm (accentuates golden undertones), or Cool (accentuates blue undertones). Tone and Warmth are customizable for each style, so you can get the exact look that you want.
• Night Mode — Takes a series of images over a few seconds and aggregates them together to allow for photography in extreme low lighting situations.
• Deep Fusion — Works in mid to low lighting conditions and brings out the texture and detail in the image.
• Portrait Mode — Keeps the subject of the photo in focus while blurring the background.
• Portrait Lighting — Changes the lighting of Portrait Mode photos with effects that include Natural, Studio, Contour, Stage, Stage Mono, High‑Key Mono.
• True Tone flash — True Tone flash is the built-in flash, and it is designed to match the ambient lighting so it doesn’t throw off the white balance of the photo when used.
• Panorama — Captures panoramic shots up to 63 megapixels.
• Burst Mode — Allows a series of images to be captured all at once, which is good for high action shots.

Video Recording

The iPhone 13 models support up to 4K video recording at 24, 25, 30, and 60 frames per second, and HDR video recording with Dolby Vision at 4K up to 60 frames per second. 1080p video recording and 720p video recording are also available.

There’s a new Cinematic Mode that uses rack focus to seamlessly shift the focus from one subject to another when capturing video. It holds focus on the subject while blurring the background, and can automatically change the focus when a new subject is about to enter the scene. Blur and focus can be adjusted after capturing video as well through the Photos app. Cinematic mode works with the Wide, Telephoto, and TrueDepth cameras, and it supports Dolby Vision HDR.

Other video features include QuickTake video, audio zoom, Time-lapse, Night mode Time-lapse, continuous autofocus mode, 3x digital zoom, and the option to take 8-megapixel photos when recording 4K video.

Battery Life

Apple has improved battery life across the iPhone 13 lineup with the A15 chip and larger battery sizes. The iPhone 13 mini’s battery lasts for up to 1.5 hours longer than the iPhone 12 mini, and the iPhone’s battery lasts for up to 2.5 hours than the iPhone 12.

The iPhone 13 mini supports up to 17 hours of video playback (13 hours when streaming), and up to 55 hours of audio playback. The iPhone 13 supports up to 19 hours of video playback (up to 15 hours streaming) and up to 75 hours of audio playback.

The iPhone 13 is equipped with a 3,227 mAh battery, up from 2,815 mAh in the iPhone 12, while the iPhone 13 mini has a 2,406 mAh battery, up from 2,227 mAh in the iPhone 12 mini.

Both iPhone 13 models support fast charging and can charge to 50 percent within 30 minutes using a Lightning to USB-C cable and a 20W power adapter.

5G Connectivity

The iPhone 13 models support 5G networks in addition to LTE networks. The 5G modems in the devices work with both mmWave and Sub-6GHz 5G, which are the two types of 5G, but mmWave speeds continue to be limited to the United States.

mmWave 5G networks are the fastest 5G networks, but mmWave is short-range and can be obscured by buildings, trees, and other obstacles, so its use is limited to major cities and urban areas along with venues like concerts, airports, and other places where a lot of people congregate.

Sub-6GHz 5G is more widespread and available in urban, suburban, and rural areas across the United States and other countries. For the most part, when you use a 5G network, you’ll be using Sub-6GHz 5G. Sub-6GHz 5G is generally faster than LTE, but it’s still evolving and it’s not the super fast 5G you might be expecting.

5G connectivity allows for faster download and upload speeds, which speeds up everything from loading websites to downloading TV shows and movies. It also increases bandwidth for streaming services so you can watch in a higher resolution, and it brings improved FaceTime call quality. Over 5G or WiFi, FaceTime calls work in 1080p. In areas where LTE speeds are slow because of the sheer number of people, 5G frees up bandwidth and reduces congestion for faster usage speeds.

5G Bands

iPhone 13 models in the United States support over 20 5G bands.

• Sub-6GHz: 5G NR (Bands n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n20, n25, n28, n29, n30, n38, n40, n41, n48, n66, n71, n77, n78, and n79)
• mmWave: 5G NR mmWave (Bands n258, n260, n261)

LTE Bands

Along with 5G, the iPhone 13 models also support Gigabit LTE with 4×4 MIMO, so you can connect to LTE networks when 5G networks aren’t available. The following bands are supported:

• FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 32, 66, 71)
• TD-LTE (Bands 34, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 46, 48)

Data Saver Mode

Data Saver Mode is a feature that swaps the iPhone’s connection over to LTE when 5G speeds aren’t needed in order to preserve battery life.

As an example, when the iPhone is updating in the background, it uses LTE because super fast speeds aren’t necessary, but in instances where speed does matter, such as downloading a show, the iPhone 13 models swap over to 5G. There is also a setting to use 5G whenever it’s available rather than using the automatic Data Saver Mode.

Dual SIM Support

Dual SIM support allows two phone numbers to be used at one time, enabled through the inclusion of a physical nano-SIM slot and an eSIM. eSIM functionality is available in many countries around the world, and Apple has a list of carriers that support eSIM on its website.

The iPhone 13 models are the first with Dual eSIM support, which means the iPhone 13 models can use two eSIMs simultaneously rather than just one eSIM and one nano-SIM. Apple’s iPhone 13 models linked to a carrier will not ship with a physical SIM card this year and carriers will instead use eSIM capabilities for activation.

Bluetooth, WiFi, and U1

The iPhone 13 models include an Apple-designed U1 chip that enables Ultra Wideband technology for improved spatial awareness, allowing the iPhone 13 models to precisely locate other U1-equipped Apple devices. Apple has likened Ultra Wideband to «GPS at the scale of the living room,» because the technology is designed for improved indoor positioning and location tracking.

The U1 chip allows the iPhone 13 and 13 mini to precisely track nearby AirTags. It’s also used for directional AirDrop and interaction with the HomePod mini, which also has a U1 chip.

As for Bluetooth and WiFi, the iPhone 13 models support Bluetooth 5.0 and WiFi 6 (802.11ax).

Other Features

Speakers

The iPhone 13 models have a stereo speaker at the top where the notch is located and a second stereo speaker at the bottom next to the Lightning port.

Sensors

The iPhone 13 models are equipped with a barometer, three-axis gyroscope, accelerometer, proximity sensor, and an ambient light sensor.

GPS and NFC

The iPhone 13 and 13 mini include support for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, and BeiDou location services. NFC with reader mode is included, and there’s a background tag feature that allows the iPhone models to scan NFC tags without the need to open an app first.

MagSafe

The iPhone 13 lineup continues to offer built-in MagSafe technology in the form of a magnetic ring that is designed to connect to the MagSafe charger and other magnetic accessories.

The MagSafe charger snaps right onto the back of the iPhone 13 models and charges at 15W, which is higher than the 7.5W wireless charging available with Qi-based chargers.

Other magnetic accessories are compatible with the magnetic ring, including cases, sleeves, snap-on wallets, and more, with third-party companies also able to make accessories for the MagSafe iPhones.

Apple warns that MagSafe Chargers can leave a circular imprint on its leather cases, and a similar effect has been seen on silicone cases. Apple also says that credit cards, security badges, passports, and keyfobs should not be placed between the iPhone and MagSafe charger.

Like all iPhones, the iPhone 13 models with their MagSafe technology can cause interference with medical devices like pacemakers and defibrillators. Apple recommends keeping MagSafe iPhones and all MagSafe accessories a safe distance away from implanted medical devices.
