WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.839
little care package arrived from the good folks at dbrand i'm kidding of

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:12.240
course there are no good folks at dbrand but dbrand did send us both the iphone

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

00:00:14.639 --> 00:00:20.800
this one because most of the phones we've covered recently have either been

00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:24.880
ones that i'm expecting to love or ones that i'm expecting to hate

00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:32.480
and everything i've seen about the iphone 13 hasn't inspired any emotions

00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:35.520
for me whatsoever it's an iphone you

00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:37.600
kind of know exactly what to expect but

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:42.719
that's also not entirely fair because the 13 improves over the 12 lineup as a

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

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:51.440
which apple no longer advertises as

00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:55.920
x amount faster than last generation because the improvements appear to be

00:00:53.520 --> 00:01:00.239
relatively small but rather they advertise as

00:00:57.360 --> 00:01:05.119
x amount faster than competitors which is still a big fat impressive number

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

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:15.360
nailed down whether it's their n5 or n5p for performance process but

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:21.040
the the general assumption is that it's n5p they've got improved displays and

00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:25.119
cameras and this is a pretty big deal for me anyway

00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:28.960
they have reduced the size of the notch the same ceramic shield glass from last

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

00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:38.560
and six gigs of RAM in the pro tier models apple has maintained the same 12

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:42.159
megapixel resolution of all their rear cameras though it should be noted that

00:01:39.759 --> 00:01:45.040
the ultra wide has a faster lens to allow for better low light performance

00:01:43.759 --> 00:01:49.920
not to mention all the software improvements that they've made there and

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:54.000
apple still has not done away with what is now a classic the lightning port now

00:01:52.720 --> 00:01:58.719
speaking of the lightning port some people are expressing disappointment

00:01:55.759 --> 00:02:03.040
that the iphone 13 range supports only seven and a half watt charging over the

00:02:00.399 --> 00:02:08.479
qi standard 20 watts over the lightning port and 15 watts using a magsafe

00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:13.599
compatible accessory now included in the boxes are only a lightning accessory

00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:18.000
cable type c to lightning no charger nothing like that which i guess we've

00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:22.400
come to accept at this point and now

00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:23.520
i want to touch them

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

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

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

00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:43.440
i'm actually gonna go ahead and remove it now okay

00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:45.280
it feels the same

00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:50.560
but it doesn't look the same look at how much bigger these camera elements are

00:02:47.440 --> 00:02:52.319
like damn that's crazy i don't know how

00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:57.760
to respond to that oh i'm so glad you brought that up siri

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

00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:08.720
long pressing the power button is siri can now operate at least for simple

00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:11.680
tasks offline that's thanks to the a15

00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:16.000
bionics npu or neural processing unit i don't think apple brands it that way but

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

00:03:17.760 --> 00:03:24.239
dramatically increased performance over the last gen because CPU and well

00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:28.239
actually GPU was a pretty big improvement as well but weren't as

00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:34.000
marked as the neural processing improvements uh-oh but

00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:37.840
before Linus gets to talking about what he was just gonna talk about we gotta

00:03:35.519 --> 00:03:43.120
thank anker for sponsoring this video the anker nanopro can charge your iphone

00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:44.560
12 or 12 pro to 50 in just 25 minutes

00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:50.239
that's three times faster than the original five watt charger and 45

00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:51.920
smaller anker's power iq 3.0 works

00:03:50.239 --> 00:03:56.000
seamlessly with your iphone and other smartphones and it's got an active

00:03:53.840 --> 00:04:01.040
shield technology which monitors charging temperatures for safety and

00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:05.120
stuff there's also a power tuner chip which adjusts the current to get the

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:12.159
fastest charge and it's available in four new awesome colors glacier blue

00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:14.640
cool lavender arctic white and black ice

00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:18.160
so check it out at the link below photographic styles now this is a cool

00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:22.400
new feature this is supported on the entire 13 lineup

00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:26.560
i was expecting there to be a flatter one that's sort of

00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:32.639
light room ready but the point is it's effectively applying a like uh a preset

00:04:30.080 --> 00:04:36.639
or a lut to your image that will give it a certain look

00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:43.040
right out of the camera so let's oh okay so you can go in and

00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:46.720
it'll actually tell you as you scroll through here what presets

00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:52.479
you're applying wow vibrant is awful i'm not even gonna

00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:56.560
take a picture with vibrant i could see people getting into like

00:04:54.240 --> 00:05:02.320
that rich contrast look i like your shirt david it's very cowy

00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.320
how stable is this you know

00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:09.840
man the iphone is so good for video like you can just

00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:13.680
you can tell right on the display there's a little bit of jutter because

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

00:05:16.479 --> 00:05:22.960
60fps recording now so look at that

00:05:20.479 --> 00:05:28.000
clearly and obviously more detail in the 4k capture now one

00:05:25.520 --> 00:05:33.759
thing that is not here yet is support for pro res capture i am super jacked

00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:37.440
about that uh we're expecting it sometime

00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:40.800
later this fall though so for those not familiar

00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:45.520
prores capture basically means that you're capturing data from the sensor at

00:05:43.280 --> 00:05:49.199
a much much higher bit rate that makes it easier to manipulate and post in

00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:54.000
video editing software now i just realized that i haven't even

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

00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:02.560
i would have actually preferred that the notch was

00:05:59.440 --> 00:06:05.120
um just as wide but not as

00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:09.199
deep but now that i think about it i think apple probably got this right

00:06:07.280 --> 00:06:14.240
because this allows them to have much better spacing and potentially more room

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

00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:20.880
to do away with it entirely because they haven't brought back touch id on the

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

00:06:22.479 --> 00:06:27.360
just if the apple logo was a touch sensor

00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:31.840
people would be pretty be pretty into that but so they have to have room for

00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:34.160
the uh the dot projector for face id and there's

00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:39.360
that's just how much space it takes up apparently i'm really not feeling the

00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:44.400
120 hertz display it doesn't oh it felt pretty smooth there now hold

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:49.520
on a second oh yeah never mind nope nope i feel it i

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

00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:56.639
how crappy 60hz looks that

00:06:54.319 --> 00:07:00.880
is a big improvement and honestly is one of the biggest reasons that i would

00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:04.240
consider the iphone 13 pro over the iphone 13

00:07:02.400 --> 00:07:08.319
is that those smoother animations that you get i

00:07:06.080 --> 00:07:13.599
mean you're already paying for the a15 bionic processor right why not

00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:17.039
draw at more frames per second it's costing you nothing in battery life

00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:22.000
apple's rated battery life for these devices is higher than last gen across

00:07:19.280 --> 00:07:26.240
the board even for these 120 hertz models and part of the reason for that

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

00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:34.720
actually benefits from the additional smoothness oh i guess now's a good time

00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:39.759
to talk about connectivity so the iphone 13 lineup has full support for wi-fi six

00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:43.280
uh it has support for 5g you want ultra wideband chip for

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

00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:52.000
around with the cinematic recording mode it's supported on the front camera which

00:07:49.599 --> 00:07:56.319
is super cool look at this uh look at this live preview depth of field effect

00:07:55.199 --> 00:08:01.759
not bad now can it manage to blur something that's close

00:07:59.280 --> 00:08:05.360
yes it can like very obviously not perfect

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

00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:16.400
having great audio on tiny devices lately wow that's a really big bezel

00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:19.919
still that just kind of jumped out of the screen at me i mean

00:08:17.919 --> 00:08:24.960
everything else about the screen cutting edge but that bezel though i mean sure

00:08:22.400 --> 00:08:30.319
the galaxy z fold 3 has maybe even a bigger bezel not by much

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

00:08:32.800 --> 00:08:40.360
you close it let's play that 120 hertz game i'm uh

00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:40.360
i'm interested

00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:47.120
sounds really good i believe it is running at 120 hertz i

00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:51.120
gotta say less noticeable on such a small screen for gaming like i'm not

00:08:48.880 --> 00:08:56.160
much of a mobile gamer for me the 120 hertz refresh rate experience is really

00:08:53.360 --> 00:09:00.320
about navigating the phone touch inputs just feeling way more responsive i mean

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

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

00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:14.930
it's i'd say less of a big deal

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

00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:25.680
he's heard laptops with worse speakers than this phone enough about the 13 pro

00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:29.839
though let's change our focus to the iphone 13 for a little bit because

00:09:27.680 --> 00:09:35.760
realistically with how much cheaper it is so it starts at 200 cheaper than the

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

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

00:09:42.880 --> 00:09:51.440
800 in its peak brightness instead of 1200 in its peak brightness but the

00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:53.120
camera is i'm going to expect it's going

00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:58.240
to be good enough for the vast majority of people and really

00:09:55.760 --> 00:10:04.800
that and not quite having as good battery life are the main differences

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

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

00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:17.600
the iphone 12 pro for a bit part that i

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

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

00:10:23.839 --> 00:10:30.160
once in the entire year i've had this phone so

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

00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:36.720
you all the time you know the difference in weight is quite noticeable between

00:10:34.800 --> 00:10:40.399
the two i want to see the difference in HDR here you know the interesting thing

00:10:38.640 --> 00:10:44.160
once you get up to these crazy screen brightnesses like 800 nits is

00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:49.440
very bright is that in any HDR content that's not

00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:52.880
specifically mastered to take advantage of that range

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

00:10:55.040 --> 00:11:01.040
of you know eye searing specular highlights uh and something off of

00:10:58.959 --> 00:11:05.600
netflix compared to i mean this is an older HDR upload to youtube uh which is

00:11:03.760 --> 00:11:09.200
only hdr10 but the difference between these two to my

00:11:07.760 --> 00:11:14.399
eye is just so negligible that i just couldn't

00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:16.480
imagine caring uh i think the fold is a

00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:20.240
touch brighter that may just be down to metadata interpretation though that it's

00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:24.399
probably not because it's actually a brighter display i do not think that's

00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:28.000
the case larger screens can also have the perception of being brighter even

00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:34.240
though dbrand didn't sponsor this video they did ask if i'm planning a full

00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:36.560
review of the iphone 13 or 13 pro and i

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

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

00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:50.079
it if you want the best camera that fits

00:11:46.560 --> 00:11:51.680
in your pocket then get a 13 pro series

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

00:11:55.360 --> 00:12:00.320
don't care about iphones then there's there's going to be nothing here

00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:04.079
that's going to make you suddenly start caring about iphones

00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:08.959
like what do i subscribe to ShortCircuit they need a foldable they need

00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:15.519
their ar glasses that pair to it they need a paradigm shift here because this

00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:18.160
is like if i was like david

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

00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:25.200
smaller notch i mean i got to give credit where credit's due

00:12:23.760 --> 00:12:28.399
i've been complaining about the notch okay thank you
