Hi everyone aaron here for Zollotech and these are apple's official silicone cases for the
iphone 13 pro and you may have already noticed that it says pro this year where last year it
said 12 and 12 pro these are official for the 13 pro the 13 has a smaller cut out for the camera
so these will probably fit those new devices but we don't know until i get some in hand
but we'll try them on the 12 pro see how they fit with this device see how it compares and also see
if the magnets are any stronger for things like the wallet this is last year's apple wallet case
so we'll go ahead and check that out in a moment but the first thing is the price
last year they raised the price to 49 and they've kept that same price for this year's phones
so for any of the iphone 13 or 13 pro silicone or clear cases it's 49 so it's the same price across
all of them the leather case is a little bit more now as far as the new colors the top row here is
all of the new colors the bottom row is pretty much the older colors along with the clear case
so from left to right we have marigold then we have clover then chalk pink abyss blue pink pomelo
and blue jay we also have midnight red in its product red as well as clear so this is all of
the different cases they're launching alongside iphone 13 13 mini 13 pro and 13 pro max as far as
the overall colors of course you'll need to pick up a case for each device a little bit differently
based off that camera bump now let's go ahead and open some up we'll open this one take a closer
look and then i'll open the other ones quickly so you can see this is the marigold color you can
see it here it's marigold let's take the little sticker off the back or the little pull tab here
and let's see what we get i don't think it's going to be any different than last year but here's the
case inside we just have a little warranty or information card nothing more than that
and then we have the case itself last year these had a little plastic wrapper on it
apple's reducing plastic this year i think so it made sense not to keep that on there i'm not sure
why they had that before anyway so you can see here is the iphone 13 pro case you can see that
camera cutout is quite large and compared to the 12 pro case you can see it here so you'll see here
that the camera cutout is quite large compared to that of the iphone 12 and 12 pro so it's a
very large opening now i would imagine this will fit the 13 but the 13 pro has the larger camera
cut out like i said also something different here than last year as you can see we have this little
raised ridge if i turn it to the side you can see there's a ridge on the 13 pro case where on the
12 pro case it had a little plastic surround we don't have that anymore we have a raised ridge so
it is a little bit different than previous years now as far as power button placement you'll see
that on the 13 pro they've moved the power button down a little bit so that means the 13 pro or the
13 cases may not work with your older phones 12 and 12 pro on the other side we have the same
sort of setup they've moved the volume and silent switch down as well compared to last year's model
so they've moved that down on the top there's nothing really there and then on the bottom you
can see that you've got the same openings for lightning your speaker and microphone so all of
that is pretty much the same but i'm surprised that the actual buttons are moved down and we
have that little bump so that that camera bump may protrude quite a bit compared to last year
however they should be a big jump in camera performance now inside it's got the same sort of
layout but instead of having this sort of plastic ring around here where the magsafe connector is
you've got sort of two drawn out or cut out pieces of fabric so you can see those rings here
where the magsafe magnets are there's not really any other differences other than that
but you can see it is slightly different maybe they're reducing plastic now if we take a look
at the magnets let's look at those a little bit closer so i'll put these down and again on the
left is the 12 pro case so here are the magnets for the 12 pro and if we slide over let me turn
this you can see the magnets are basically the same so you've got similar magnet rings i wouldn't
expect it to have much of a difference there you've got the same sort of magnetic field and
this magnet paper is really helpful to see where the magnets are and again on the inside you can
see that as well now let's go ahead and open the rest of them and then we'll take a closer look
at how they fit on the previous generation iphone and the model that i have as well of
the iphone 13 series so we'll open all of these up this is the clover color like i said before
and again no plastic wrapper on it so this is pretty nice just sort of a nice green
color we haven't seen before there's some similar colors but it's a little different
put that aside then we'll move over to the chalk pink
and this will go nicely with the new pink iphone 13 but the 13 pro doesn't come in
pink but maybe it will go nicely with silver or gold next is abyss blue so this is a nice color
i actually have a watch band that has a similar color to it
so it's a nice deep blue color it's really nice looking
next is pink pomelo and you can see that here
so it's a little different color pink although it's more of a in between pink and mango maybe
i guess it's more of a pink or maybe even a grapefruit color
so it's got a nice look to it also
and then we have blue jay so this is another blue color as well so if you don't like the deeper blue
you have more of a lighter blue and so you can see this here it looks pretty good
and then the black case apple calls midnight so we'll open this up pull this one out
take a look at it and i didn't realize there was a difference between the 13 and 13 pro until i
got back and picked these cases up so maybe i'll pick up a different one just to compare later on
and then we also have red here as well product red typical every year we have a new red color
so that's product red and then finally we have the clear case now i know this is expensive
for a clear case however they typically hold up pretty well and they tend not to yellow so that's
something that you don't necessarily get from some less expensive cases but they tend not to
yellow and you can see on the ring inside it says made by apple or designed by apple in california
and then it's very typical of what we had before it's sort of a flexible plastic
maybe it would crack if you took this on and off your phone a lot but you'll see it's basically
what we had before but again they look nice because they don't typically yellow now here
i have my iphone 12 pro so i wanted to see what it would look like with maybe one of
these cases on it so if we place it on the 12 pro you'll see the camera cutout is quite different
and so on this this this phone actually has ios 15 on it but i cannot push the power button because
it's nowhere to be found it's kind of up a little bit higher on the left here you can see that it
doesn't fit properly either because the silent switch is not in the same spot so it doesn't fit
on this phone properly at all so that's definitely something a little bit different and you can see
that i would try it on all the different phones or try on many of the different cases to show you
what it looks like but again on the clear case just to give you an even better look at this
you can see where the power button is so the power button is a little bit higher up there
and then on the sides the silent switch is higher and the volume buttons are higher as well
the bottom is no different than before so that's basically the same but there is a little bit of
play in here because the new phones are ever so slightly thicker so that's something to keep in
mind so maybe it will fit the 13 model but not the 13 or the 12 model so let's see here if we take
the model that i have of the iphone 13 this is for case makers let's see how it fits so we'll use the
clear case again and you'll see in this case it actually lines up as far as the power buttons go
and the silent switch and the volume buttons so that was correct as far as the model here but
again the opening is much larger than the camera cut out for the non-pro models so this model was
actually quite correct and while this is not a working model of the iphone 13 it does again
give us an idea of the size of the camera bump and it looks like they got it right it's a huge
camera bump so once i get my hands on the iphone 13 and 13 pro we'll be able to compare that but
you can definitely see the difference and it's much larger than i would have suspected so it's
a huge camera bump this year and hopefully that will lead to much better performance overall
now i did want to check the magnet strength see if it's any different this year than say the
previous generation so i have the last generation case and i also have the wallet case this is the
last generation wallet case that sticks on but as you slide it in your pocket you can easily
push it off so it doesn't take a lot of force to push this off of the back of your phone or the
case so let's try this see if it's any different that might be a little bit stronger magnets but
it's so slight if it is i don't think it's much of a difference at all now the new wallet case
may have a little bit more force to take off maybe it will we don't really know until we try it out
the same should be true with magsafe adapters so the magsafe adapter if you're using that again
will adhere to the back no problem but it doesn't feel any different than previous generation cases
so i don't think they've changed the magnets at all it feels about the same so i was quite
surprised to see the volume buttons and power sleep wake button in such a different place
everything else is basically the same year over year but you will need a different case for the 13
versus the 13 pro this year so that was a bit of a surprise to me i didn't even really recognize that
until now the same is true with the volume buttons being in a slightly different place as well that
was a bit surprising so they've moved them down they may be a little bit easier to access now
and again the same is true with that power button but let me know what you think of the new cases
are you going to pick up apple's cases a different case or do you use your phone without a case
altogether i'd love to hear from you in the comments below of course i'll link a wallpaper
