1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,839
little care package arrived from the good folks at dbrand i'm kidding of

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:12,240
course there are no good folks at dbrand but dbrand did send us both the iphone

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:16,480
13 and iphone 13 pro and i got to confess david i'm at a bit of a loss on

4
00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:20,800
this one because most of the phones we've covered recently have either been

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:24,880
ones that i'm expecting to love or ones that i'm expecting to hate

6
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:32,480
and everything i've seen about the iphone 13 hasn't inspired any emotions

7
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:35,520
for me whatsoever it's an iphone you

8
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:37,600
kind of know exactly what to expect but

9
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:42,719
that's also not entirely fair because the 13 improves over the 12 lineup as a

10
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:48,879
whole in a couple of big ways so number one we've got their new a15 bionic chip

11
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:51,440
which apple no longer advertises as

12
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:55,920
x amount faster than last generation because the improvements appear to be

13
00:00:53,520 --> 00:01:00,239
relatively small but rather they advertise as

14
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:05,119
x amount faster than competitors which is still a big fat impressive number

15
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:09,360
it's still built on a five nanometer process from tsmc i don't think we've

16
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:15,360
nailed down whether it's their n5 or n5p for performance process but

17
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:21,040
the the general assumption is that it's n5p they've got improved displays and

18
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:25,119
cameras and this is a pretty big deal for me anyway

19
00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:28,960
they have reduced the size of the notch the same ceramic shield glass from last

20
00:01:27,119 --> 00:01:34,000
time makes a return we've got the same four gigs of RAM in the non-pro models

21
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:38,560
and six gigs of RAM in the pro tier models apple has maintained the same 12

22
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:42,159
megapixel resolution of all their rear cameras though it should be noted that

23
00:01:39,759 --> 00:01:45,040
the ultra wide has a faster lens to allow for better low light performance

24
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:49,920
not to mention all the software improvements that they've made there and

25
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:54,000
apple still has not done away with what is now a classic the lightning port now

26
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:58,719
speaking of the lightning port some people are expressing disappointment

27
00:01:55,759 --> 00:02:03,040
that the iphone 13 range supports only seven and a half watt charging over the

28
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:08,479
qi standard 20 watts over the lightning port and 15 watts using a magsafe

29
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:13,599
compatible accessory now included in the boxes are only a lightning accessory

30
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:18,000
cable type c to lightning no charger nothing like that which i guess we've

31
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:22,400
come to accept at this point and now

32
00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:23,520
i want to touch them

33
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:28,959
i don't know what the feelings are like online but i am i am loving the look and

34
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:34,080
hand feel of the 13 pro it might be exactly the same as the 12 but my only

35
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:38,319
point of comparison is this really ratty d brand skin that i have on my 12 pro so

36
00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:43,440
i'm actually gonna go ahead and remove it now okay

37
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:45,280
it feels the same

38
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:50,560
but it doesn't look the same look at how much bigger these camera elements are

39
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,319
like damn that's crazy i don't know how

40
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:57,760
to respond to that oh i'm so glad you brought that up siri

41
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:03,440
so cool feature that apple has added to iOS 15 which of course you can access by

42
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:08,720
long pressing the power button is siri can now operate at least for simple

43
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:11,680
tasks offline that's thanks to the a15

44
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:16,000
bionics npu or neural processing unit i don't think apple brands it that way but

45
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:19,680
essentially it's a it's an ai processor and it's one of the ways that apple has

46
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:24,239
dramatically increased performance over the last gen because CPU and well

47
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:28,239
actually GPU was a pretty big improvement as well but weren't as

48
00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:34,000
marked as the neural processing improvements uh-oh but

49
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:37,840
before Linus gets to talking about what he was just gonna talk about we gotta

50
00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:43,120
thank anker for sponsoring this video the anker nanopro can charge your iphone

51
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,560
12 or 12 pro to 50 in just 25 minutes

52
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:50,239
that's three times faster than the original five watt charger and 45

53
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,920
smaller anker's power iq 3.0 works

54
00:03:50,239 --> 00:03:56,000
seamlessly with your iphone and other smartphones and it's got an active

55
00:03:53,840 --> 00:04:01,040
shield technology which monitors charging temperatures for safety and

56
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:05,120
stuff there's also a power tuner chip which adjusts the current to get the

57
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:12,159
fastest charge and it's available in four new awesome colors glacier blue

58
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:14,640
cool lavender arctic white and black ice

59
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:18,160
so check it out at the link below photographic styles now this is a cool

60
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:22,400
new feature this is supported on the entire 13 lineup

61
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:26,560
i was expecting there to be a flatter one that's sort of

62
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:32,639
light room ready but the point is it's effectively applying a like uh a preset

63
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:36,639
or a lut to your image that will give it a certain look

64
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:43,040
right out of the camera so let's oh okay so you can go in and

65
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:46,720
it'll actually tell you as you scroll through here what presets

66
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:52,479
you're applying wow vibrant is awful i'm not even gonna

67
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:56,560
take a picture with vibrant i could see people getting into like

68
00:04:54,240 --> 00:05:02,320
that rich contrast look i like your shirt david it's very cowy

69
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:02,320
how stable is this you know

70
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:09,840
man the iphone is so good for video like you can just

71
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:13,680
you can tell right on the display there's a little bit of jutter because

72
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:18,880
it's at 30fps but you don't have to shoot at 30 in fact they've added 4k

73
00:05:16,479 --> 00:05:22,960
60fps recording now so look at that

74
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:28,000
clearly and obviously more detail in the 4k capture now one

75
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:33,759
thing that is not here yet is support for pro res capture i am super jacked

76
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:37,440
about that uh we're expecting it sometime

77
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:40,800
later this fall though so for those not familiar

78
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:45,520
prores capture basically means that you're capturing data from the sensor at

79
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:49,199
a much much higher bit rate that makes it easier to manipulate and post in

80
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:54,000
video editing software now i just realized that i haven't even

81
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:58,160
really talked about the notch yep it's smaller you know if it had been up to me

82
00:05:56,319 --> 00:06:02,560
i would have actually preferred that the notch was

83
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:05,120
um just as wide but not as

84
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:09,199
deep but now that i think about it i think apple probably got this right

85
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:14,240
because this allows them to have much better spacing and potentially more room

86
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:17,759
for icons up at the top of the screen obviously they're not going to be able

87
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,880
to do away with it entirely because they haven't brought back touch id on the

88
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:23,280
iphone in spite of the fact that a lot of people would like them to like even

89
00:06:22,479 --> 00:06:27,360
just if the apple logo was a touch sensor

90
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:31,840
people would be pretty be pretty into that but so they have to have room for

91
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,160
the uh the dot projector for face id and there's

92
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:39,360
that's just how much space it takes up apparently i'm really not feeling the

93
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:44,400
120 hertz display it doesn't oh it felt pretty smooth there now hold

94
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:49,520
on a second oh yeah never mind nope nope i feel it i

95
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:53,360
feel it i've just gotten so used to it on my daily driver phone that i forgot

96
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:56,639
how crappy 60hz looks that

97
00:06:54,319 --> 00:07:00,880
is a big improvement and honestly is one of the biggest reasons that i would

98
00:06:58,319 --> 00:07:04,240
consider the iphone 13 pro over the iphone 13

99
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:08,319
is that those smoother animations that you get i

100
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:13,599
mean you're already paying for the a15 bionic processor right why not

101
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:17,039
draw at more frames per second it's costing you nothing in battery life

102
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:22,000
apple's rated battery life for these devices is higher than last gen across

103
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:26,240
the board even for these 120 hertz models and part of the reason for that

104
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:30,800
is that they've made the 120 hertz adaptive so it'll only kick in when it

105
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:34,720
actually benefits from the additional smoothness oh i guess now's a good time

106
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:39,759
to talk about connectivity so the iphone 13 lineup has full support for wi-fi six

107
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:43,280
uh it has support for 5g you want ultra wideband chip for

108
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:48,240
location stuff you can check out our tech wiki on that if you want to learn more about it sorry i'm just playing

109
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:52,000
around with the cinematic recording mode it's supported on the front camera which

110
00:07:49,599 --> 00:07:56,319
is super cool look at this uh look at this live preview depth of field effect

111
00:07:55,199 --> 00:08:01,759
not bad now can it manage to blur something that's close

112
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:05,360
yes it can like very obviously not perfect

113
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:11,360
but it's not bad onboard speakers are so good man apple has gotten really good at

114
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:16,400
having great audio on tiny devices lately wow that's a really big bezel

115
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:19,919
still that just kind of jumped out of the screen at me i mean

116
00:08:17,919 --> 00:08:24,960
everything else about the screen cutting edge but that bezel though i mean sure

117
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:30,319
the galaxy z fold 3 has maybe even a bigger bezel not by much

118
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:34,240
though but it's it's foldable like it's got a it's got a like a stopper for when

119
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:40,360
you close it let's play that 120 hertz game i'm uh

120
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,360
i'm interested

121
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:47,120
sounds really good i believe it is running at 120 hertz i

122
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:51,120
gotta say less noticeable on such a small screen for gaming like i'm not

123
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:56,160
much of a mobile gamer for me the 120 hertz refresh rate experience is really

124
00:08:53,360 --> 00:09:00,320
about navigating the phone touch inputs just feeling way more responsive i mean

125
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:06,959
i did a whole video about this back when the ipad pro first got 120 hertz support

126
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:11,560
and it's it's very noticeable to me on a desktop size display but here it's

127
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:14,930
it's i'd say less of a big deal

128
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:22,160
yeah me too in case you guys couldn't hear him over the sound of crab rave david was saying

129
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:25,680
he's heard laptops with worse speakers than this phone enough about the 13 pro

130
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:29,839
though let's change our focus to the iphone 13 for a little bit because

131
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:35,760
realistically with how much cheaper it is so it starts at 200 cheaper than the

132
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:40,320
13 pro this is the one that i see way more people buying it still got improved

133
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:44,640
battery life over last generation uh the screen is not as good so it tops out at

134
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:51,440
800 in its peak brightness instead of 1200 in its peak brightness but the

135
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:53,120
camera is i'm going to expect it's going

136
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:58,240
to be good enough for the vast majority of people and really

137
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:04,800
that and not quite having as good battery life are the main differences

138
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:08,640
between the 13 and the 13 pro oh i guess there's also the depth sensor on the

139
00:10:06,399 --> 00:10:15,519
camera and you know what i did use that once i had to use the depth sensor on

140
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:17,600
the iphone 12 pro for a bit part that i

141
00:10:15,519 --> 00:10:21,279
had in a movie they wanted me to get a 3d scan of the room that i was shooting

142
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:25,680
in so that they could use that for vfx later very niche use case it came up

143
00:10:23,839 --> 00:10:30,160
once in the entire year i've had this phone so

144
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,640
your mileage may vary who knows it might be the kind of thing that comes up for

145
00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:36,720
you all the time you know the difference in weight is quite noticeable between

146
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:40,399
the two i want to see the difference in HDR here you know the interesting thing

147
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:44,160
once you get up to these crazy screen brightnesses like 800 nits is

148
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:49,440
very bright is that in any HDR content that's not

149
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,880
specifically mastered to take advantage of that range

150
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:57,120
you might not get any benefit out of it now it's more likely that we'd see kind

151
00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:01,040
of you know eye searing specular highlights uh and something off of

152
00:10:58,959 --> 00:11:05,600
netflix compared to i mean this is an older HDR upload to youtube uh which is

153
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:09,200
only hdr10 but the difference between these two to my

154
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:14,399
eye is just so negligible that i just couldn't

155
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:16,480
imagine caring uh i think the fold is a

156
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:20,240
touch brighter that may just be down to metadata interpretation though that it's

157
00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:24,399
probably not because it's actually a brighter display i do not think that's

158
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:28,000
the case larger screens can also have the perception of being brighter even

159
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:34,240
though dbrand didn't sponsor this video they did ask if i'm planning a full

160
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:36,560
review of the iphone 13 or 13 pro and i

161
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:41,279
kind of said yes because i didn't bother doing a full review of the 12 pro

162
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:46,560
but honestly i feel like i've kind of said everything that i have to say about

163
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:50,079
it if you want the best camera that fits

164
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:51,680
in your pocket then get a 13 pro series

165
00:11:50,079 --> 00:11:57,680
if you want almost the best camera that fits in your pocket get a 13 and if you

166
00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:00,320
don't care about iphones then there's there's going to be nothing here

167
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:04,079
that's going to make you suddenly start caring about iphones

168
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:08,959
like what do i subscribe to ShortCircuit they need a foldable they need

169
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:15,519
their ar glasses that pair to it they need a paradigm shift here because this

170
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:18,160
is like if i was like david

171
00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:22,320
which one's the 13 which one's a 12. you'd be like oh my god who cares

172
00:12:20,639 --> 00:12:25,200
smaller notch i mean i got to give credit where credit's due

173
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,399
i've been complaining about the notch okay thank you
