in an effort to push the new iphone 13's battery to its limit and see how well it holds up i
brought it around with me through a typical day in my life which usually involves using my phone
heavily at the start of the day around 9:25am i disconnected the iphone with a 100% battery charge
i'll be showing you guys the battery menu throughout the day to see what apps are
consuming the most battery power and how well the battery is faring i'll also be operating at
maximum screen brightness to put some more strain on the battery my goal is to find out how good the
upgraded camera system is and how long the battery will last under heavy use i typically use my phone
a lot throughout the day for both business and personal activities. Activities like listening to
music during my gym session, watching netflix and youtube videos, surfing the web and social media,
creating photo and video content as well as lots more stuff so i started the day off by heading out
while the sky was overcast to try out the upgraded 12 megapixel dual camera system according to apple
the wide camera now captures 47% more light for better photos and videos while the ultra wide
now reveals more detail in dark areas of photos i found a nice spot that overlooked the highway and
saw a perfect spot to test out the new cameras i took a couple pictures one with the ultra wide and
the other with the wide camera so far taking pictures outside with the new camera seemed
to work very well and then i took a short video clip with the wide camera as well and to be frank
they all look really amazing this video on the screen was shot in apple's all-new cinematic mode
for the iphone 13s i'll be testing this in a lot more scenarios to really see how well it works in
that recent clip there's not really anything to focus on to really test out the bokeh effect in
order for me to test the cinematic mode out here i had to find an object that the camera could
isolate and blur out its background it didn't take too long to find something that i could isolate to
use as my subject for this test right here as you can see right here we've got ourselves a pole i'm
not sure what it's for but it'll do just fine we should be able to see the bokeh or the blur effect
with this subject right here because its color is very different from its background the portrait
camera is what helps you get that beautiful blur effect that you see in iphone photos
natural lighting is my favorite to use but there's different options for you to choose from i took a
couple photos and i'm talking one with the ultra wide and one with the wide camera as you can see
on the screen right now so honestly the color is amazing with these the color depth is really deep
i love it the sky is blue i'm gonna test out the cinematic mode again and i'm gonna move the f-stop
from 2.8 to 2.0 that way there's more blur effect and we can see it the best way possible so i'm
gonna record that short clip and then i'm gonna back up slowly away from our subject right there
so the bokeh effect gets less pronounced because the further away you are from it
the less bokeh effect you get in the background and the closer you are to it the more you get so
that's how it works with the f-stop being at 2.0 so i'll show you guys later what happens if we
increase that f-stop so we're going to go ahead and walk right back and bring that bokeh effect
back in nicely the camera maintains focus of that item at the center right there but if
there's anything in sight it might just switch to that in order to avoid that you need to turn on
af tracking lock by double tapping the item you want the object to focus on and this will keep it
focused on that object at all times all right i'm going to go ahead and switch the f-stop to f16 so
that's the highest f-stop there is and the higher you go with the f-stop the less bokeh effect you
get so if you want to get more in frame then you go ahead and increase that f-stop i'm going to go
ahead and walk back slowly and then back forward slowly again like we did with the f 2.0 but this
time we're doing it at f 16 and at f16 there's no change in blur or bokeh effect so the further
you are from the object or closer you are to the object it doesn't matter there's not going to be a
blur you're going to capture more in frame so this is good for say group photos where you don't want
to blur out anything as opposed to when you want to get just one person in the frame you can also
adjust the exposure or the brightness using that plus minus icon at the bottom left corner of the
screen right there so you can tweak it upwards or tweak it downwards depending on what works for the
situation you're shooting the footage of my exit here has been shot entirely using the cinematic
mode on the iphone 13's camera so i'm gonna wait until the sun comes out and i'll head out again
and test out how well the cameras work in a sunny environment i have a feeling that it's going to do
even better but we'll see in a bit here i'm gonna use cinematic mode to shoot out here in the sun as
well and i've got af lock enabled as you can see on my face to keep the focus on there and we're
just going to rotate around and keep that focus on me the blur does look kind of fake if you really
look closely or if you're used to shooting with a camera but to be honest with you for a phone
i think it's all right here's a photo that i took outside as well you can see this is an ultra wide
camera and this version is the wide camera from the same spot i also tested it out at night as
you can see right here this is the ultra wide camera which is supposed to reveal more details
and dark scenes and this is the wide version which is supposed to let in 47% more light and you can
see that right away i found that i love the wide camera both during the daytime and night time i
also took more photos as you can see on the screen so ultrawide was the first one and then wide again
all of these photos were all taken in portrait mode which to be honest i think is most people's
favorite mode anyway okay looking at the battery, high brightness is one of the biggest culprit
for battery drain we've been using a few apps as well instagram, the camera, even the web browser,
the home and lock screen phone yt studio safari just a general stuff that most people would use
but the majority has been taken over by instagram as well as the camera app while working most of
the time i get caught up watching video reviews or other videos on youtube as well as netflix it
doesn't matter what it is so i'll just pull out my phone and i'll get caught up watching that i
needed to test out how much watching high quality movies 4k you know videos on youtube is going to
drain the battery by so i did this for quite a bit so i watched videos in between my work as well
as leisure time the new A15 bionic chip did make everything very responsive this is supposed to be
an upgrade from the A14 bionic from the iphone 12. the screen on the iphone 13 has a 60hz xdr
oled display to watch videos on this makes blacks appear blacker whites appear whiter and all other
colors appear to be accurate and more vivid and lifelike i'm usually not big on watching videos on
phone but right now i think i might have changed my mind so i'm going to put the phone away and
then go ahead and get ready for my gym session but right here you can see what the battery is
looking like we're a little below 50% right there the screen brightness, instagram, and the camera
are still consuming the most battery power at this point so we're at the gym now and i'm going to be
using different apps from what i've been using all day so i'm going to use spotify a lot so i'm
going to listen to music throughout the entire workout which is what i do during my typical
workout session in here i'm also going to test out the cameras the cinematic mode because now we
don't have access to natural light so we're going to be working with gym lighting apple has also
added some new photographic styles for pictures so standard, rich contrast right there which takes
off -50 tone and leaves the warmth at zero, vibrant style which has a plus 50 in the tone
and zero in the warmth department to warm style and cool style all of these different presets just
give your pictures a different look i decided to try out the cinematic mode by shooting a vertical
video of myself curling so i had myself being shot with the mirrorless camera as well as the iphone's
cinematic mode and camera i'm gonna let you guys go ahead and be the judge and tell me what you
think about both of these different clips let me know what your opinion is on the new cinematic
mode down in the comment section below i think it shoots pretty well even in gym lighting conditions
i found that i could only switch the photographic styles in the photo mode so not the video mode
and as you can see you can always tweak the tone and the warmth for each of these different presets
so those are just preset numbers you can change them up and tweak it to your own liking this could
be a whole new way for you to take pictures if you're fond of doing that with your iphone
after using cinematic mode throughout the day in different lighting conditions i've decided that
it's a pretty cool feature to have but definitely still needs improvement i'll be using it a lot
especially to record vertical social media content and maybe even for some vlogging videos as well
the picture quality when taken in portrait mode produces phenomenal images as well
and i will be putting that to a lot of use. Shooting videos in regular video mode is also
great but nothing especially new besides the better image quality the cinematic mode is the
new mode we all have been looking to try out and here it is okay it's night time i'm out of the
gym and back on the couch watching a movie with the iphone 13 in my hand as well so the bigger
batteries in the new iphones are supposed to be one of the major upgrades of this year's lineup
i put that to the test today using the phone at its highest brightness, watching 4k video content,
taking lots of photos, and shooting in cinematic mode throughout the day as well as streaming music
off spotify i haven't charged the phone once and it's almost midnight and we're just at 12%
that's insane to be honest so far i'm impressed with the upgraded dual pixel camera system and how
a15 bionic makes the iphone fast and responsive this is of course coming from the iphone xs max
but this day has made me more excited to find out how well the telephoto camera on the pro
edition iphone 13s work from the screen you can see that i used instagram, the camera,
safari as well as spotify a lot so that's where most of my battery power drain came from
to sum up the day my life review i think the iphone 13 is a pretty good phone and it checks
a lot of boxes for the average phone user and even surpasses that average in my opinion personally
i'm not a big fan of small phones but if you don't mind then i think the iphone 13
might just work well for you but i'm really excited to see the iphone 13 pro max and how
that one handles the battery is supposed to be even bigger so let's see if that does better i
