the new iphone 13s and 13 pros don't
have always on displays they don't have usb type c
and they can't even do satellite calls
as usual the rumors leading up to today's apple event weren't 100 accurate
but you know what that's okay because daddy apple gave us something we didn't
even know we needed a new phone camera that oscar-winning director catherine
bigelow says will birth a whole new genre of cinema
with fancy autofocus what
right now i just need you to focus on our sponsor i fix it is your battery not
lasting as long as it used to looking for a new project ifixit has you covered
stay tuned to the end of the video to learn more about their battery replacement kits
last year apple added a new archetype to the iphone pantheon with the iphone 12
mini which joined the iphone 12 12 pro
and 12 pro max this year
well you can pretty much take last year's lineup prices and all
and take all the numbers up by one there's an iphone 13 mini iphone 13 13
pro and 13 pro max occupying almost the exact same price points the iphone 12
and 11 shuffle down to knock the venerable iphone 10r off the list while
the iphone se gets to stay on probably because it's just so darn cute now a
cynical person might see a lineup that looks just like last year's both the numbers increased by one and think gee
there's probably not a ton of new and interesting features that apple felt
would justify a change in price and you'd be dead wrong you see that
notch that's 20 smaller so check yourself
but the truth is across the board the upgrades this year
are a lot more incremental than in years past
just like that number increase the overall design of each model is pretty
much the same as its predecessor although as we said the notch is 20
smaller and the dual camera system in the non-pro models now has its lenses
placed diagonally instead of vertically which seems like the apple equivalent of a
bleeder serving you yesterday's leftovers with a dramatic flourish
the soc in every one of this year's iphone 13 models is the a15 bionic with
six CPU cores just like last year's a14 bionic apple calls it the fastest CPU in
a smartphone just like last year's a14 bionic
being 50 faster than the leading competition
whatever that is apple just loves comparing their new devices to abstract
concepts rather than specific products it's part of their charm the a15 bionic
and the non-pro models has a four core GPU while the pro models get an extra
core for graphics performance that's 30 percent faster than the competition
again just take their word for it okay
just just calm down and a 16 core neural
engine that's going to make the new iphones even better at doing things like
identifying plants actually kind of cool i guess battery
life is a bit better too with the iphone 13 mini lasting one and a half hours
longer than last year's model and the 13 lasting two and a half hours longer but
faster performance and better battery life is about as expected as Linus
rigging up his house with ridiculous data center get subscribed to catch that video by
the way that's gonna be a thing but the biggest
leap this year appears to be the cameras and new camera features apple has
essentially activated the hand-me-down protocol and gifted the iphone 13
non-pro models with the same wide and ultra wide cameras from the iphone 12
pro max that means a wide camera with a 7 element lens f 1.6 aperture and the
fancy sensor shift optical image stabilization that apple introduced last
year which only makes me more excited to see
how they revolutionize the all new camera system in the iphone 13 pro
cameras and here again we're looking at
incremental changes assuming your telephoto lens a brighter
ultra wide lens with autofocus and a wide lens with apple's largest sensor
ever leading to 2.2 times better low-light performance now to be fair
those are improvements and i have no doubt the iphone 13 pro and pro max will
take some of the best photos and videos of any smartphone ever
but it doesn't make me feel things like when apple first introduced the notch
i still remember the chills it's telling that apple spent quite some
time in today's presentation talking up a new cinematic mode that looks like
autofocus with some ai thrown in in this mode the phone will
automatically rack focus from foreground to background if the subject looks away
or enters the frame using what seems to be a combination of actual autofocus and
ai power blurring it was apparently enough of a reason to
produce a very knives out-esque short that felt almost dreamlike although that
might have also been the processing halo around the actors
the pro and pro max models do have one truly exciting camera feature this year
support for pro res video which will give these iphones some of the
post-processing capabilities of cinematic cameras
this is one of the things that made catherine bigelow and this other guy
speculate that iphones will change the language of cinema i don't really know
what that means if you're excited by the unknown you should order a mystery 21 ounce water
bottle from lttestore.com for only 19.99 it's like a fortune cookie
to be fair to apple we have been ragging on them a little bit here there is one
actually exciting hardware upgrade the iphone 13 pro and pro max are bringing
to the table the same pro motion adapted refresh rate display is seen on the ipad
pros with the capability to change from 10 hertz to 120 hertz depending on
what's happening on screen again this is good great even i've been waiting for
this but i can't help but feel like apple grabbed a cool feature from the
ipad and just tossed it onto the 13 pro and pro max to add a little more pizzazz
you know i mean sure there's now a one terabyte
storage option for the pro models which will be great for storing all that
progress footage but good luck transferring it to your mac via the
lightning port usb 2.0 speeds
apple specifically they they went out of their way to not show the lightning
ports on that thing because they knew they knew that we would we would really
rip them a new one all this the eye the ipad pro they they had to do the usb
type c and in fact they're doing Thunderbolt now but they're not going to do anything
Anthony's out of control overall the iphone's left us feeling
a bit disappointed i can't help but feel like releases like
this one are exactly what the s suffix was for
but apparently apple has left that far behind in favor of minute long
monologues about the physical vapor deposition process required to make the
sierra blue iphone pro look so good
it does look good thankfully apple showed off some other stuff today that
wasn't iphones the new apple watch series 7 does not have flat sides like
the leaker said but it does have a bigger 70 brighter screen new ip60x dust
resistance and a swipe keyboard for typing it'll also detect when you start
riding and subsequently fall off of a bike which is not something i would want
to enter into the record but i mean i can understand the utility there there
were also a couple of new ipads including a base ipad with an a13 bionic
chip and a new ultra wide 12 megapixel camera so you can use center stage and
the ipad pros and ipad air's flat sided design has finally trickled its way down
to the new ipad mini which sports a new liquid retina 8.3 inch display support
for the new apple pencil new 12 megapixel cameras stereo speakers in
landscape and a usb type-c port
wait a second
this ipad has the same a15 bionic as the new iphones and it has 5g and it'll be
available in both wi-fi and cellular configurations
what's to stop you from just using this thing as a big phone
it's also quite a bit cheaper
