Looking for the best iPhone 13? Here are 5 things I learned using Apple's latest models.

The caller harvest of iPhone 13 marque their debut Friday.

Apple is introducing 4 versions of its adjacent smartphone connected Sept. 24. Along with the modular iPhone 13, there's the iPhone 13 Mini, the iPhone 13 Pro and the Pro Max.

Prices commencement astatine $699 for the Mini and creep up by $100 for each model, topping disconnected astatine $1,099 for the Pro Max.

Among the features Apple is touting for iPhone 13 are a brighter display, improvements to the cameras, amended artillery beingness and faster show acknowledgment to the caller A15 chip.

I tried retired the modular iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 Pro Max for astir 48 hours. Here are 5 things I learned based connected my abbreviated clip with the caller devices:

1. The Pro cameras are truly nice

The features that truly stood retired to maine portion utilizing the iPhone 13 Pro Max were the macro photography options. When you determination the camera truly adjacent toward an object, which for maine was a leafage with raindrops, the phone's ultra-wide lens volition automatically displacement to a macro presumption to let for elaborate up-close pictures. It's fantastic erstwhile you privation to propulsion retired intricate details from a subject.

2. Will we truly usage Cinematic Video?

Another caller instrumentality for aspiring videographers is Cinematic Video, which volition automatically set the absorption erstwhile you record. Here's an illustration featuring my 2 kids: I took a video of my lad portion my girl was sitting successful the background. The camera focused connected him portion his inheritance was retired of focus. When helium turned to look astatine his sister, the camera recognized this and focused connected her instead. Once successful a portion though, if my lad moved his caput adjacent slightly, the absorption would displacement backmost to him.

It's surely amusive to use, but I'm funny whether mundane users volition really effort this oregon if it's conscionable a chill instrumentality to effort retired periodically.

3. The colorful iPhones look sharp

When you perceive astir iPhones with antithetic colors, it's hard not to question whether it mightiness look cheesy successful a agleam bluish oregon pinkish oregon gold. But what Apple has done is springiness these phones pops of colour portion inactive maintaining a level of elegance.

The sierra bluish connected the iPhone 13 Pros is astir apt my favorite. It's akin to a Carolina blue, but possibly a interaction darker. The pinkish is shown successful a lighter shade, truthful it's not overly bright, portion the golden is crisp but not gaudy.

4. Those fancy iPhone 13 Pros

The iPhone 13 and the 13 Mini are beauteous phones, but the Pro and Pro Max consciousness similar a premium instrumentality successful presumption of design. They person a textured matte back, arsenic good arsenic a stainless alloy set each astir the assemblage of the phone. You astir don't privation to usage a lawsuit due to the fact that of however bully the phones look.

5. Battery beingness feels bully truthful far

I've focused connected the Pro Max since that's got the champion battery life. I've taken tons of photos and videos, played games similar Genshin Impact, and performed different tasks, too. And inactive got rather a spot of artillery left. It's inactive excessively aboriginal to archer conscionable however good these batteries clasp up (we'll person much connected this precise soon).

So should I bargain one?

I person an iPhone 12 Mini currently. If I'm looking astatine this strictly astatine show betwixt the two, I consciousness comfy hanging connected to my smartphone. The differences betwixt the 13 and my 12 Mini don't look stark capable wherever it feels I'm getting a immense upgrade successful velocity oregon performance. And adjacent if you person an iPhone 11, iPhone XS oregon XR, you should beryllium fine.

However, if you've been clinging to an older smartphone for a portion and truly privation to upgrade to Apple's latest and greatest, you're going to get a large instrumentality you tin clasp connected to for a agelong time.
