One thing that has changed, compared to the last two Apple processors, is the GPU, which has five cores instead of four. But we don’t really need lightning-fast performance on an iPhone. This doesn’t mean the iPhone 13 isn’t fast enough it is. In an analysis of Apple processor performance over the last nine years, on Creative Strategies, it’s clear that iPhone chip performance is growing at a much slower rate in recent years. The world’s fastest smartphone chipĪpple says the new A15 Bionic chip is "Fastest chip ever in a smartphone." However, every new iPhone is "the fastest iPhone ever." While Apple’s processors get faster year on year, performance gains have dropped over the past few generations.
#PC WORLD REVIEWS ANTIVIRUS FOR MAC PRO#
I have an iPad Pro with ProMotion, and never really noticed the difference, but on the smaller iPhone display, which I generally hold closer to my eyes, the smoothness is obvious. It also improves drawing, and especially reduces the amount of power used by the display by essentially slowing down the refresh rate when possible. The main difference is that, when scrolling a web page, or an app like Instagram or Twitter, the refresh rate changes according to the speed of the scroll. It’s not designed to upsample videos, for example, but rather to change as needed to provide smoother motion on the display. ProMotion is a technology, already available on current iPad Pro models, that offers an adaptive refresh rate, up to 120 Hz. A display so responsive, every interaction feels new againĪpple’s Super Retina XDR display isn’t new – it’s been on the iPhone Pro models since the 11 – but the addition of ProMotion is makes it much more pleasing to the eye. Here’s three photos in a field near my home showing the range of the optical zoom.Īll in all, if you take a lot of photos with your iPhone, then this is a solid upgrade. The telephoto camera is now a 77mm eq., allowing for a total of 6x zoom from the ultra-wide camera. However, the new camera array, which has three cameras on both iPhone Pro models (only two cameras on the standard iPhone 13), is an advance on previous models.
Budding filmmakers will love it, but I think for most users it will be like live photos: an interesting thing to play around with, but little more. It’s a cool idea – including the ability to set focus points in videos after you’ve shot them – but in reality, it’s unlikely that you’ll do much with it. This feature, which can allow the iPhone to focus on people or objects when you’re shooting video, blurring the rest of the frame, is a bit of a gimmick. The marquee feature for the iPhone 13 cameras is Cinematic Mode.
A dramatically more powerful camera system
These five points are an excellent guide for examining what’s new and what’s improved in the iPhone. A display so responsive, every interaction feels new again. On Apple’s web page for the iPhone 13 Pro, the company says:Ī dramatically more powerful camera system. But if you want a powerful, flexible smartphone camera, and above all better battery life, this model will fit the bill.
