Since Apple saves all of its best tech for its pro models, there's a fairly jump in features between the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro.

A15 Bionic in the iPhone 13 Pro lineup is even more advanced, offering impressive power and efficiency, and driving the incredible new display, camera, and video features never before possible on iPhone. With 5-nanometre technology, A15 Bionic — the fastest chip in a smartphone — features a new 5-core GPU in the Pro lineup that brings the fastest graphics performance in any smartphone, up to 50 percent faster than the leading competition, ideal for video apps, high-performance gaming, and the slate of new camera features. The new 6-core CPU with two new high-performance cores and four new high-efficiency cores, is up to 50 percent faster than the competition and handles demanding tasks smoothly and efficiently. A new 16-core Neural Engine capable of 15.8 trillion operations per second enables even faster machine learning computations for third-party app experiences, as well as features like Live Text in Camera with iOS 15. And major advancements to the next-generation ISP provide improved noise reduction and tone mapping. We’ve found the iPhone 13 Pro is capable of lasting a full day of normal usage. If you push your phone slightly harder, you may find that it needs recharging before the end of the day.

In love with the phone. The night pictures and videos that come out of the phone are too good. Upgraded from 12 mini. Not a huge difference in camera but night pictures are definitely an upgrade. The battery life is exceptional. Often use it as hotspot for around 6 hrs and after more than 10 hours, battery is more than 60% if other apps are not heavily used. 120hz feels super smooth.Everything you love about your iPhone gets even better when you use it with a Mac, iPad or Apple Watch. It all just works together — seamlessly. Answer a call on whatever is close at hand. Take a photo on your iPhone and watch it instantly appear on your Mac.

You should also keep in mind upfront costs when choosing a mobile deal. Usually, the higher they are, the lower your monthly price will be. So if you prefer paying for your phone and contract in a particular way, you can find a balance that suits you on Uswitch. iPhone 13 Pro: features and specs These differences won’t be especially noticeable in everyday usage, but if you’re pushing your phone to its limits you may find that you appreciate that extra bit of grunt the iPhone 13 Pro is able to offer. The most obvious foil to Apple's top device is Samsung's S22 Ultra, which ups the ante in terms of camera versatility and its integrated S Pen, providing enhanced productivity. It's bigger and pricier, though. A significant upgrade here is the introduction of a 120Hz maximum refresh rate, which means the on-screen image refreshes 120 times a second for a more fluid experience than we’ve seen on previous iPhones; it’s most noticeable when you’re scrolling through menus or system apps. To support these top-tier specs, the iPhone 15 Pro runs on the A17 Bionic chip – a big jump in processing power from the A15 that runs the iPhone 13 Pro.

The camera setup on the iPhone 13 Pro comprises three 12MP shooters: the primary wide camera with an f/1.5 aperture, a telephoto camera with f/1.8 aperture that’s capable of 3x optical zoom, and an ultra-wide camera with an aperture of f/1.8 and a 120-degree field of view.

iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are splash-, water-, and dust-resistant, and were tested under controlled laboratory conditions and have a rating of IP68 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 6 metres up to 30 minutes). Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions. Resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear. Do not attempt to charge a wet iPhone; refer to the user guide for cleaning and drying instructions. Liquid damage is not covered under warranty. A faster Neural Engine in A15 Bionic, new ISP, and advancements in computational photography power the all-new camera features on iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Photographic Styles allows users to bring their personal photo preferences to every image while still benefitting from Apple’s multi-frame image processing. Preset and customised preferences work across scenes and subjects, and unlike a simple filter, intelligently apply the right adjustments to different parts of the photo to ensure the important elements, like skin tones, are preserved. For the first time ever, Night mode comes to all cameras on iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, including the Telephoto camera, and with Smart HDR 4, users can expect improved colour, contrast, and lighting for subjects, even in group shots or challenging lighting situations, making images more true to life. iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max also offer popular features like Deep Fusion, Apple ProRAW, and Portrait mode with Portrait Lighting. The iPhone 13 Pro has a 6.1-inch OLED screen which is boosted by Apple's sturdy Ceramic Shield, so it keeps your screen free from bumps and scrapes.It's a feature that’s likely to prove popular with filmmakers, vloggers and other content creators, although probably of less interest to those who only shoot the occasional video. Right now, it's a bit like the first iteration of Portrait mode for photos, but we're expecting it to improve rapidly over subsequent generations.
