FEATURE REVIEW: i PHONE 13That may be true, but it’s still very hard
to see the difference between the iPhone
13 and iPhone 12 when it comes to
nighttime shots. When you compare the
two photos side by side you see a bit
more detail and some more sharpness
with the iPhone 13, but for the most part,
both phones will produce very similar
and very good photos in
low light.
The same goes for
photos taken in better
light. Even without a
telephoto lens, the
iPhone 13 takes fantastic
photos with just a tap.
The new Photographic
Styles feature is
impressive for its
subtlety and adherence
to the scene, but not
likely to be something
people use all that often.
The same goes for Cinematic Mode video,
which is very cool and impressive but only
useful in very specific situations.
I’ve been using both the iPhone 13 and
iPhone 13 Pro Max, and this is the first year
I’d recommend spending a little more on
the Pro to get a better camera. No longer
are the differences geared only towardWhen shooting up close in macro mode, the iPhone 13 (left) can’t hold a candle to the iPhone 13
Pro (right).
At 3X zoom, the iPhone 13 Pro (right) takes far superior pictures
than the iPhone 13 (left)
