apple just released the iphone 13 and in this video we're gonna compare it to the
12 and cover every single difference and answer two important questions first off
should you save a hundred dollars and just go for the iphone 12 and if you
already have one is it worth upgrading to the 13. we're gonna cover design
differences displays cpu performance graphics speakers camera differences and
much more just like last year apple is not shipping power adapters with these
phones so you will not get one in the box that means you need to buy one
yourself and instead of buying apples i would suggest this one from anchor they
are not a sponsor but you can pick this up for as low as 11 bucks it is small it
gives you full fast charging and the prongs actually fold making it more
compact i'll go ahead and leave a link to it down in the video description
below right out of the gate i see some massive differences the first thing i
got to comment on are these lenses you guys can see that it's now horizontal
instead of being vertical but look how much bigger they are uh that is pretty
crazy the flash has been moved the microphone has been moved the bump
itself is larger and if we look at it from the side the camera bump sticks out
much more so and that is because the 13 uses the camera system from the 12 pro
max which was 300 more expensive than the 12 last year it has image
stabilization the sensor shifts we'll take a look at cameras in just a bit but
that is a big difference now the other thing i have to say is look at this
color this is the starlight but the back is super clean it looks white the side
has a nice tint to it i personally am really digging um the look and the color
of this because of that and the larger battery the iphone 13 has gotten heavier
you could definitely notice it side by side holding both of these but i don't
think anybody's going to complain if you just buy one of them now as far as
dimensions they are pretty much the same the shape is same the screen size is the
same but apple has made another change and they moved all the buttons lower on
one side the power button is lower on the other side the volume and the silent
switch has also moved down meaning that if you have smaller hands it's going to
be easier to reach the buttons with the iphone 13. now as far as battery life
apple says that the 13 gets two and a half hours more of battery life compared
to the 12 that is a huge difference now of course we haven't tested out for
ourselves so if you want to know the real world difference in battery life
make sure you guys hit that subscribe button down below because we will be
putting out a review video along with a different comparison video for you guys
to check out and with that you guys can also help us reach our goal of 1 million
subscribers we would definitely appreciate it and now taking a look at
the displays we could see that the biggest difference is the notch for the
first time since nosh came out apple has changed it
it is now a little bit less wide apple says it's 20
smaller but it is actually slightly taller the camera has been repositioned
and the speaker grille for the earpiece speaker is right there at the top right
next to the frame now with the 13 pro version of pro max it got a lot louder
as far as speakers so i'm excited to check out and compare the difference
with these and with that said let's go ahead and compare the speakers and see
if we have any difference [Music]
[Music] all right guys let me know your thoughts
down in the comments section below now to me the difference between these two
phones aren't as big as the difference between the 12 pro max and the 13 pro
max that was a massive difference but the 13 is slightly louder and a little
bit more rich than the 12. you do notice that and along with that the earpiece
speaker the one that's a little bit higher now is louder as well that's
where a little bit extra volume boost comes from so it does sound a little bit
more balanced left to right which is great for watching movies playing games
things like that and now let's compare the display starting with brightness i
have both set to manual brightness and as you can see the iphone 13 is brighter
now apple boosted it from 625 nits up to 800 which is the same as last year's
iphone 12 pros so that definitely does help out especially if you're outside in
the bright sun other than that they are exactly the same we have the same
contrast the same brightness when you're watching hdr videos viewing angles color
accuracy everything else is identical and now let's get into performance the
new iphone 13 has the a15 bionic processor compared to the a14 but how
much does that really matter well they both have the same core counts the clock
speed is higher on the new iphone 13 and as far as ram they are identical both of
them have four gigabytes of ram so let's go ahead and run geekbench's cpu test
and we'll see how much of a difference that actually makes all right we have
our results and it looks like as far as single core we have a performance
difference of about 10 percent and in multi-core we have a difference of 16
so that is a worthwhile difference you know you definitely get extra
performance but what this doesn't show is the energy or power efficiency of the
new a15 so it is actually able to use the the efficiency cores more often and
that is one reason why it has much better battery life as well and now
let's go back and we are going to compare the graphics difference because
we definitely have a change there too and take a look at that that difference
is probably the smallest difference i've seen in terms of graphics going from one
generation of iphone to another that is only 12 percent
difference and that is because this year apple prioritized the pro models those
actually have five core graphics that are much much more powerful uh probably
about 50 more powerful than the iphone 12s and with the regular 13 they just
gave it a little bit of improvement but it's still a four core just like this
one now with this 12 improvement we also get an improvement in power usage when
you're gaming or doing other tasks that need the graphics so once again that
just helps you for battery life so overall i would just say that don't
factor in or don't really care about what processor these phones have in them
because the difference isn't that big now one area where we do have a
difference is the storage the iphone 13 comes with 128 gigabytes of storage for
the same price as the 12 last year whereas the 12 you get 64 for the 100
lower price now with that i also want to test the performance of your storage so
let's go ahead and run this benchmark all right guys this is really really
weird something we didn't expect if we look at
the performance difference it is pretty big at least in their read speed now
this particular iphone 12 this is a 128 gig i paid the 50 bucks extra to upgrade
and we're getting a thousand five hundred and eighty megabytes per second
read compared to 867 both with 128 gig so it looks like
this year even though apple gave you double the storage they put in slower
storage at least in terms of read speed right is a little bit faster we're
looking at about 120 140 megabytes per second faster and then i also have my 13
pro which has 128 gigs and this one is much faster we also have
that 1580 and then the right speed is even faster
than that so if you do buy a pro phone you get faster speeds but with iphone 13
expect a little bit slower read speeds and now let's talk about the cameras and
we do have some pretty big differences now the selfie camera didn't change in
terms of hardware but because of the new a15 bionic processor we have smart hdr4
and as you can see in the selfie shot outside we're getting so much more
detail in that sunset instead of being blown out with the iphone 12 and that
was one of the things that i hated about my iphone 12 with these kind of selfies
now on the back we have as you guys see the much bigger lenses we have the
little diagonal setup and that is because the iphone 13 takes the same
best camera from the iphone 12 pro max and puts it in this body so we have
larger sensors that image stabilization lets in more light and then the
ultrawide was also much improved compared to before now not only do you
get better image quality but in some of these images that don't look that
different the new iphone 13 will take the photo much quicker in night mode
because of the extra light so instead of having to wait say two maybe three
seconds it could do it in one second and that is definitely convenient and it
helps have nice sharp images instead of sometimes having them turn out blurry
and along with that we also have some differences for video if you like high
dynamic range video you can actually shoot that up to 4k 60 with dolby vision
which is great and then we have the new cinematic mode which allows you to get
blur with your video so right now i'm recording vadim there with the camera
i'm going to tap on this ipad mini 6 box you guys see we have portrait just like
for portrait photos but it's blurring the video as well i'm going to tap back
at him so that is a really really cool effect something that works well and of
course if it doesn't work out you can actually disable it which is great it's
not built into the video and then with that we can actually go to the
front-facing camera and then i can also record cinematic
video with the front-facing camera so that's something that is very cool and
it's exclusive to the iphone 13 line and with all of those things compared let's
answer our initial question is it worth the extra 100 more to get
the iphone 13 over the 12 or should you save your money and is it worth
upgrading from a 12 to a 13. well for the first question uh it is absolutely
worth the extra 100 to buy the iphone 13 there is no way i would buy the 12
unless maybe you're buying a used one for like 500 bucks or something like
that but the price difference the extra hundred dollars is well worth it first
off you get the extra storage that alone costs you 50 bucks more for the iphone
12 so that's only 50 difference for the two and a half hours better battery life
better cpu and graphics performance brighter display less dimming when
you're outside and it's hot with that you get the new cameras that are much
improved you get the cinematic mode you have just so many other little
things that they've updated it is absolutely worth spending the extra
fifty dollars or a hundred dollars if you don't even need that extra storage
now with that is it worth upgrading from a 12 to a 13. this is where i would say
no i would not do that if you already have a 12 i would wait one extra year
or if you do want to upgrade in that case don't get the iphone 13 go spend a
little bit more money and get the 13 pro this thing has a lot of improvements
much faster graphics better uh performance overall you get the pro
motion display a lot more if you guys want you guys can check out our actual
video on this phone and if you're interested and you're wondering maybe i
should maybe i shouldn't i will actually be doing a comparison after one week of
using these the real world differences um and if it's worth the extra 200 bucks
