Hello everyone it's SpawnPoiint and welcome back to another video and today we're looking at two
new iPhone 13s we've got the 13 Pro in Sierra Blue and the 13 Pro Max in Graphite. I'll do a
quick unboxing of the two phones giving my first impressions plus the screen protectors that i'm
using and the cases that i've gone for i'll also let you know if it's worth upgrading from the 12
Pro and what the differences are now as i use my iPhone 12 Pro Max to film all the videos on
this channel it'd be interesting to see if the 13 pro is any better so they have a brighter
screen 120Hz support a smaller notch better cameras a macro photography mode and the new
cinematic video mode i'll also show some examples of these different modes to see what they can do
next week i'll be unboxing the normal 13 and the 13 mini iPhones so if you're interested
in those make sure you drop a like on this video and subscribe to the channel
okay and here they are so just like with last year's iPhone 12 the 13s come in these
new thin boxes and you'll notice there's no plastic wrap this year so there's no more
asmr unboxing snippets instead there's these little pull tabs at the top and bottom but
comparing the two boxes of the pro and the pro max they've stuck with the black design but you
can see a size difference here the pro max is noticeably bigger but we'll compare sizes later
right let's start with the smaller pro model as i really want to check out that new sierra blue
collar wow this looks really really nice it's a lot less blue than i was expecting it's kind of a
very light almost silver looking blue it is nice though this is totally different to the pacific
blue that we saw last year then under the phone we've got the usb c to lightning cable the sim
card needle and some apple stickers and again just like last year there's no charging plug or brick
and here's the pro max let's get this one opened up yep this looks good i mean it's graphite so
it's a pretty safe choice but it still looks really nice obviously this one comes with the
same accessories as the pro so i don't need to go over those and here they are side by side now
what i like about the pro models is the frosted backs it's got kind of like a matte finish to them
with the apple logo in the middle now the back is actually glass and in the band around the outside
well this is stainless steel but as the bands are glossy and almost mirror-like rather than matte
they are a fingerprint magnet so if you're not using a case you'll probably find these bands are
going to be covered in marks and fingerprints and smudges it's not a huge issue but it's definitely
worth mentioning now the sierra blues bands are a lot lighter than the graphite band they're almost
kind of like a more silver color okay let's get these switched on and take a look at the screens
so the iPhone 13 pros once again they come with an OLED or super retina XDR display the pro has
a 6.1 inch screen while the pro max has a 6.7 inch screen the first thing you might notice
is the notch at the top is a little bit smaller not by much but it's about 20 percent smaller
now the pro displays come with a brighter screen too so they actually max out at 1 000 nits that's
up from 800 last year but if you're watching HDR content well that maxes out at 1 200 nits that's
a big jump in brightness that's nearly 28 over last year another new and awesome feature for the
pros is they come with apple's new pro motion 120 hertz screen and i'll tell you what it is smooth
you're not going to appreciate just how smooth this is through today's video as you're obviously
not watching this in 120 hertz but take my word for it it is a huge step up from the previous
iPhones this was actually one of the biggest features i've been looking forward to today
but it's not just a 120 hertz screen it's actually adaptive this means that is able to change the
refresh rate depending on the content that you're viewing it can go from 10 hertz all the way up to
120 hertz which will not only make the experience nicer it will make a huge difference to the
battery use as if you were running 120hz all of the time it will drain the battery really quickly
hopefully we'll see game developers implementing this new hertz feature in the future apps so first
impressions of the screen is really nice it's very bright and obviously the refresh rate is
absolutely incredible so i'm not sure about you but i always add a screen protector to my phones
the only year that i forgot to add one i actually went and scratched the screen on day one so the
ones i've gone for are these these are called the Spigen and they're the full screen coverage
they're really easy to fit so all you need to do is line up this plastic case over the front
of the phone and you will get a 100% perfect fit i've actually dropped a link to these in
the description i wasn't sent these i actually went ahead and bought these but i thought it's
definitely worth recommending these to you another thing that i always use with my iPhones are cases
i've used loads of different cases over the years but i always come back to the apple ones
they fit well they're pretty durable and i like the apple logo on the back so i've gone for the
midnight leather case for the 13 pro max and the blue silicone case for the 13 pro now the midnight
case has a very dark blue hint to it it's not quite as gray or as black as previous versions
but these feel really nice the silicon case is so soft to the touch i'm not sure if you can
tell but these cases are very slightly different to the 12 pro cases which means that although
they will fit onto the 12s they won't line up perfectly so the camera cut out and the button
placement on the sides are slightly different i thought it was worth mentioning just in case you
wanted to fit say a 13 case to a 12 or 12 case to a 13. so they will fit but it won't be 100
perfect right let's take a look at the cameras or the lenses on the back of these phones so
these two pros have exactly the same camera setup there's no difference at all and these lenses are
actually bigger than last year's pros not just the lenses themselves but the square is bigger
the three lenses that we have include the ultra wide the wide and the telephoto now as i mentioned
before and if you didn't know already i do film every video on my channel using my iPhone i
actually made a video about that earlier this year so although i'm upgrading to their latest iPhone
it's not just about getting the latest phone for me it's about getting the best camera i can from
an iPhone all three lenses are 12 megapixels now the wide lens has an f 1.5 aperture is a faster
sensor and will do a better job of handling dark areas now this is the main camera that's used and
it's a 26 millimeter focal length the few photos i've taken with it have come out really well is so
sharp and the colors look awesome the ultra wide has an f 1.8 aperture with a 13 mil focal length
this gets a super wide looking shot it's not a lens i use that often but when i do it's nice to
create a different perspective the ultrawide has now got auto focus which you didn't have
before so yeah this looks really really good then finally we've got the telephoto lens and
this is an f 2.8 aperture with a 77 millimeter focal length this lens is awesome for creating
depth of field or portrait shots and again it is incredibly sharp but what's great about these
cameras is they all have a stabilization built in it's using apple sensor shift technology
now we did see this in last year's 12 models and it's made a huge difference when taking photos
another new feature is the macro photography option so this is something that apple talks about
so you're now able to take photos as close as two centimeters from an item and the camera will
automatically change into that mode so there's no setting or option to choose from like you do with
say portrait or panoramic it does it all by itself and the few photos i've taken already with this
macro photography mode have come out really sharp i mean it's probably not a mode that i use that
often but i've got to appreciate just how good it looks so here for example i've zoomed in on
a bottle of gin and you can see the fabric of the label as well as the little writing and this is
so tiny so you could have a lot of fun with this mojo here's another example this is the dual sense
controller for the playstation 5. now we all know that on the back of the controller you've
got these tiny little icons but it's only when using this macro photography mode you can really
see them in the detail then other modes includes things like portrait panoramic night mode and hdr
we've obviously seen these before on previous phones so i don't really need to go over those in
detail night mode is even better this year as it's able to take photos faster with that new sensor
that means less time holding the phone still trying to get that night shot now onto the video
recording modes so these new modes are the main selling point for the 13 and probably the main
reason i wanted to upgrade okay first up is this cinematic mode now i need to spend a little bit
more time playing around with this but it allows you to create videos using a similar effect to
what you see in portrait mode it works on both the front and the rear facing cameras as well as
the wide and the telephoto lens you can focus on one person or subject and while you're filming you
can change that focus point just by tapping the screen it adds an insane amount of bokeh or depth
of field here and it's incredibly impressive so if i'm focusing on one item here and i want to change
it i can very very easily but not just while i'm filming you can actually change the focus point
after i've finished filming so here's a video that i've already filmed but i want to change the focus
point to something that wasn't in focus at the time i can do this straight from the camera roll
all i need to do is press edit and i can actually change that from the video itself now this is
absolutely awesome such a cool feature however there is one downside to this mode something
that for most people probably won't be an issue it actually records the cinematic mode at 1080p
at 30 frames per second to give you an idea i film all the videos on this channel at 4k30
so if i was to only use the cinematic mode i would be reducing the quality of my videos i will try
to use this mode in future videos but i guess the 1080p limitation will hold me back and onto
another new feature which is exclusive to the pro models and that's pro res video this will actually
allow you to record up to 4k 30 frames per second in a lossless video format this is like taking
photos on the iPhone using raw you're going to get so much more detail on an overall better quality
video but with this format the file sizes are likely going to be massive ProRes isn't available
yet and it's something that apple have said that we will be seeing later this year i'm actually
really looking forward to testing this mode out especially on the videos i create for this channel
let's have a look at some of the specs for these two iPhone 13 pros so the battery life on these
two have actually increased since last year the pro max is 28 hours now up from 20 hours
while the pro is 22 hours up from 17 hours i've obviously not had these long enough to
see if that's true but over the next couple of weeks or so i'll be able to test it out
okay looking at the two storage options that i've gone for so both pros are available in a 128GB,
256GB, 512GB and a 1TB i've actually gone for the 256GB on the Pro as that's the one
my wife will be using and i've gone for the 1TB option on the Pro Max for myself
this is going to make a huge difference for me for filming my videos and along with that two terabyte
iCloud storage i have this is going to be a solid combo for creating content but price wise for the
two the 256GB Pro comes in at £1,049 or $1,099 whereas the pro max 1TB comes in at £1,549 or
$1,599 a quick look at the size and the weight so the pro is the same height and width as the 12 pro
it's just a little bit thicker and weighs a little bit more in fact it's 203 grams
instead of 187 grams the same for the pro max the height and the width are exactly the same
but the thickness and weight have increased over the 12. it's now grams instead of 226
so what's the difference between the 13 pros and the 12 pros well color wise we've now got the
sierra blue instead of the pacific blue but the main differences this year include the pro motion
screen which is 120Hz the cinematic mode a new a15 chip pro res and the larger and better cameras
so to be honest if you're not interested or need the faster refresh rate or the new and improved
cameras the 12 is not that much different but this screen and camera mode for me is definitely
worth the upgrade so that was a quick unboxing and look at the new iPhone 13 pro and pro max
will you be buying one of these and if you are which color will you go for and if you've got any
questions at all about these two iPhones please drop those in the comments now as i did purchase
these phones i was not sent these two phones i will be using these long term and i will be able
to give you my honest opinion as i go i'm really happy with the colors and the specs that i've gone
for and i'm looking forward to creating new videos with it over the coming weeks and remember if you
want to see more iPhone 13 content like the 13 and a 13 mini unboxings make sure you stick around
