Hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and with apple announcing the new iphone 13 13 mini 13
pro and 13 pro max just like we expected i want to help you decide if you should update
whether or not you have an iphone 12 already or maybe you have an older iphone or something
else i want to help you decide whether or not you should update or not and the first thing is the
major changes this year there are three of them the display the battery and the cameras so on all
of the different models that was the major change on all of them now i want to go over every little
thing individually so if you want to jump to a specific section that you want to know more about
i'll link them in the description with the time codes or chapters now as far as the overall color
options there's some new options this year we have a new starlight midnight blue pink and red
for the iphone 13 and 13 mini those are all of the new colors available now maybe they'll
make a new color available later later in the year or next year like they did with the purple
color with the iphone 12. as far as the pro models though they've gotten rid of the pacific blue and
instead replaced it with sierra blue it's just a lighter blue all of the other models are the same
gold silver and graphite so there's not really a big change there now this year apple's prices are
the same as last year so if you bought an iphone 12 last year they've kept the same pricing they
have not increased the price however they have kept the same sort of pricing set up on the iphone
13 and 13 mini which means if you go through a carrier it's 30 dollars cheaper and starts
at 699 or 799 for the regular 13. however if you don't go through a carrier you add on 30
making it 729 or 829 now you can go all the way up to 1029 or 1129 dollars in the united states the
prices will vary depending on the country you live in but you have 128 gigabytes to start at the base
so now if you were looking for maybe 64 gigabytes that's no longer here apple has bumped the storage
option but not increased the price so that's nice to see and then you have up to 512 gigabytes
now on the pro models they've again kept the same prices but you don't get that thirty dollar extra
bump in cost if you don't go through a carrier so 999 to 1499 that's on the iphone 13 pro and on the
iphone 13 pro max it's 1099 to 15999 dollars and again you don't have that 30 dollar bump like you
do on the lower end models you have storage that starts at 128 gigabytes and goes up to
one terabyte now so you have all the way up to one terabyte now one thing to note apple has said that
prores video is coming to the pro models later on and this is significant in that it's a very nice
format to work with on computers and it's really easy to work with but they're huge file sizes
so because of that apple has limited the 128 gigabyte model to just 1080p video in prores
now if you don't use prores of course you can use 4k in hevc or whatever codec you'd like there but
with the higher end models you need to have more storage than 128 if you're going to use 4k prores
so just keep that in mind however this isn't very significant to me because if you're using prores
you're not going to be able to easily get it off your phone since you're still using lightning
lightning transfers at a slower speed it's not as fast as usb-c or thunderbolt and so
because of that it's going to take forever to get that footage off unless they increase the speed
without telling us also you could use airdrop but again that's going to be very slow to transfer
say 512 gigabytes of video so just keep that in mind if you are planning to get the different
storage options or whatever you plan to order now one thing to know is the overall size is a little
bit different they're very close as far as the external dimensions but the thickness is about
0.2 millimeters thicker or so and they are slightly heavier based on every single model
0.5 ounces or about 10 grams heavier on each model give or take a little bit but they are a little
bit heavier and i think that's to accommodate the new battery that's a little bit thicker
so it's got a larger battery in it and then it will give you about 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending
on the device on the smaller devices it's about an hour and a half on the larger devices where
you have more space it goes up to up to two and a half hours now with that extra time they haven't
said how they've achieved that so if maybe you're watching youtube or maybe you're recording video
those those actual times can vary quite a bit but it is nice that we're getting a bump in battery
now the other significant change this year is the displays on all models now the pro models
do get 120 hertz pro motion displays that can go down to 10 hertz all the way up to 120 hertz
but they don't go down to 1 hertz or have always on displays at least that they've shown us so far
but on the 13 mini and 13 you don't get that pro motion display so keep that in mind
but they have increased the overall brightness to 800 nits for 625 nits of just regular use so if
you're in brighter sunlight that should help on the pro models it's regularly up to 1 000
nits this year where it was about 800 or so last year so it's improved quite a bit on the displays
and of course if you haven't noticed already the notch has shrunk so a lot of people were concerned
about this now it's narrower but it's actually a little bit taller they've moved the speaker to the
very top and move the camera to the left so many of you that wanted a smaller notch you have it but
it's actually a little bit taller or it protrudes further into the display whether or not this is
better is hard to say but it's definitely an iphone signature thing and maybe they'll get rid
of it in the future but it's here to stay for now now the other significant upgrade is the cameras
on the 13 and 13 mini the cameras get sensor shift stabilization so that's nice they brought that
over from the 12 pro max last year and on the pro models you get a big bump as far as the sensors
they're all updated sensors you have better low light you also have ultra wide with auto focus and
a macro version now as well so you can take macro photography which should be really nice hopefully
we can use that in video as well but i can't wait to try that out also you have 3x optical zoom on
the telephoto lens now it does take in less light because of its reduced aperture but we'll have to
see how that plays out in future photos there's no astrophotography modes or anything like that
but they are a significant bump in the overall sensor of the device so we should get better low
light for video and photos and more now this year apple is giving us the new a15 bionic there's some
significant updates internally such as video codec updates and more however we don't know the actual
performance coming from last year's model with the a14 so the a15 is faster and in the pro models
it's even a little bit faster with a an updated gpu with an additional core so it should be a
little bit faster much faster if you're coming from older phones of course and with the a15 we
have the same exact ram that we did as last year so we're not getting a bump in ram as far as this
year goes four and six gigabytes respectively now as far as gaming performance because we
have that 120 hertz promotion display on some games we should see some updates eventually
on the ipad it can make a difference and on the iphone pro models with the pro motion display
we should see a little bit of a bump there and of course if you're into gaming on your phone it will
make a difference as far as that goes so those are all the major things in the iphone 13 and 13
pro mini and pro max and that leads me to should you update well it really depends on those first
three things that i've mentioned what i mentioned was a better display a better battery and upgraded
cameras if none of those matter to you then i wouldn't upgrade if you have an iphone 12 or
any of the pro or pro max it's not really worth the update if those things don't matter to you
however if pro motion 120 hertz matters like it does on the ipad for me i really like it
i think that's a big jump the cameras are a big jump if you use those also the battery should be
a big jump but if none of those things matter you can regularly plug in your phone well then
i might skip this update however if you're coming from an older iphone an iphone 11 or an iphone 10
or maybe an iphone 6s plus or even older than that it will be a significant upgrade for you not only
will you get dolby vision hdr for your videos you'll get a much better camera a much faster
cpu as well as well as updates for at least five or six years maybe even longer in the future so
there's definitely advantages to update at this point but as far as coming from the 12 to the 13
it's more of a smaller update this year for you if you're on those devices already but i'd love
to hear what you think in the comments below if you're looking to pick one of these up of course
you can get different deals at different carriers and things like that verizon at t and t-mobile
you'll be able to get significant deals and maybe more around the world i'd love
to hear from you if you're picking one up and of course i'll link a new wallpaper for you in the
description like i normally do if you haven't subscribed already though please subscribe and
if you enjoyed the video please give it a like as always thanks for watching i'll see you next time
