The iPhone 13 models feature the same dual 12-megapx camera setup with the same aperture specifications. The iPhone 13 & iPhone 13 mini vày feature Smart HDR 4, which is an improvement over Smart HDR 3.

As usual, Apple upgraded the chip powering the lathử nghiệm iPhones, It is moving from the A14 Bionic used the iPhone 12 & iPhone 12 mini to the A15 Bionic.

The A14 combined a six-core CPU, using two high-performance cores & four energy-efficient cores, with a four-core GPU. Added khổng lồ that package was the 16-core Neural Engine, which at the time could perform 11 trillion operations per second, và an improved image processor lớn boost computational photography efforts.

Apple"s A15 Bionic chipmix features a new six-core CPU with two high-performance cores & two energy-efficient cores. It also packs an updated 16-core Neutral Engine, which can persize up khổng lồ 15.8 trillion operations per second.

The iPhone 12 & iPhone 12 mini were the first-generation iPhones khổng lồ sport 5G connectivity, covering both typical low-band frequencies và mmWave. This enabled both far-reaching coverage for the models, as well as blisteringly fast cellular speeds, albeit the latter was only available in limited areas.

Unfortunately, given the relatively slow rollout of 5G networks around the world, it seems unlikely that many people will benefit from mmWave, even one year after iPhones offered the connectivity.

Apple says that the iPhone 13 lineup features "more 5G bands" than the previous models, which will allow 5G connectivity khổng lồ work in more places with better coverage & performance. Beyond a count of more countries and more carriers, the company has yet khổng lồ specify exact what this means, or the specific bands that the iPhone 13 models now support.

On the non-cellular side, Apple included support for Wi-Fi 6 & Công nghệ Bluetooth 5.0 in the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini.

Those other connectivity features have sầu not changed between the iPhone 12 lineup và the iPhone 13 models.

The iPhone 12 range didn"t really offer much in the way of battery improvements over then iPhone 11 range, with Apple claiming the iPhone 12 lớn be able to offer 17 hours of video clip playback, up lớn 15 on the mini, and up to 65 or 50 hours of audio playbaông chồng, depending on the model.

Fast charge capabilities in the iPhone 12 pair enabled a 1/2 charge khổng lồ be achieved in đôi mươi minutes, when using a 20W adapter and Lightning.

Wireless charging the iPhone 12 range was an improvement over the year before, due khổng lồ the introduction of MagSafe.

A new Photographic Styles feature allows users to lớn create their own intelligent "filters" that can be applied to lớn any photos they take.

Apple also says that the iPhone 13 has been designed it minimize its impact on the environment. For example, its antenmãng cầu lines are made with up-cycled plastic water bottles. The device"s packaging also no longer features a plastic wrap, which Apple says will save about 600 metric tons of plastic.

The iPhone 12 và iPhone 12 mini are available in a choice of three capacities: 64GB, 128GB, và 256GB.

Those iPhone 12 prices reflect a price drop in case anyone is wondering about the difference in price with iPhone 13. And if one didn’t read the second last sentence.As a 12 mini owner, I won’t be upgrading. But if you were to lớn buy a phone now I would pay the extra for the 13 mini over the 12 mini. The new camera features & screen enhancements alone are worth it. And while I haven"t ever had my battery run out, & the 12 mini already has superior battery life to an SE or an iPhone 8, the extra battery life of the 13 mini will be the cherry on top for the nervous nellies.

Yes I am surprised how often people do. Then again I know people still using a 5S. They should nâng cấp.
