Apple iPhone 13 review

Sort by:

"4 small Blizzard cores working at 1.8GHz with TurboBoost capability to go to 3.23GHz when necessary"

lol no. The little cores are clocked at 2Ghz, and that's the maximum they can go. There's no boost in mobile.

Btw, your battery test seems lower than the iPhone 11, despite the bigger battery and efficiency improvements. Are you guys testing it at full brightness? Or with a lot of white content?

          Whats the point of commenting on the battery life, when by the next update, it gets worse?
          Everyone was raving about the battery life on the Note20 Ultra. I got it and it barely lasts by sunset on a single charge.

            The night mode artifacts look terrible, when there are moving objects.
            See the third image from "Main cam Auto Night Mode, 12MP"
            I am not aware that Google's HDR+ suffers from such artifacts.

                "Sometimes the grass is good and leaves look fine, other times - they are awfully smeared."
                I do agree. I really can't understand why Apple can't do better. For example, Canon cameras don't have this issue.
                I have access to an iPhone 13 Mini and sometimes the camera can produce very unnatural results, this surprises me. I took a photo of a plant and the image looked as if someone totally overused Adobe Lightroom's Clarity slider. Extreme, black contours.

                  I have access to an iPhone 13 Mini. Sadly, there is no true manual white balance slider in auto mode. There is a warmth slider, which is a white balance slider, but it adjusts the auto(!) white balance, so it doesn't prevent sudden auto white balance changes in the same room. The user interface isn't good either, you can't access the warmth slider easily. You always have to click on the arrow, etc..

                    rbr, 01 Oct 2021When you say uninspiring standby for battery, its bit uncle... moreTotal time of the test seems to be video + internet + call + standby.
                    You just need to do the math with the data.

                        rbr, 01 Oct 2021When you say uninspiring standby for battery, its bit uncle... moreSure, the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 12 standby times are 20% better than the iPhone 13.

                          When you say uninspiring standby for battery, its bit unclear. Can you please compare with any previous model so that its more clear? For example: Standby performance is worst that iPhone 11 pro.
