Apple iPhone 13 Pro review: Many small upgrades together make a big package

 

The Apple iPhone 13 Pro has brought several upgrades over the iPhone 12 Pro, including many that might seem only incremental when looked at in silos. However, this premium smartphone is by no means a minor upgrade. That is because these upgrades – whether big and small – together form a big package. Among the most noticeable are the upgrades with respect to display, imaging and on-battery time. Interestingly, these are also the areas where this smartphone has an edge over others simply because the upgrades influence the overall user experience in a positive way.

Starting with the display, it has got a fair bump in brightness, with the peak level now in the ballpark of 1200 nits for HDR content and 1000 nits in typical scenarios. Besides, the display gains significantly from the ProMotion technology, which breathes life into the user interface elements like transitions, scrolling, animations, etc. For the uninitiated, the ProMotion technology is Apple’s fancy name for adaptive display refresh rate. The iPhone 13 Pro is capable of automatically adjusting the display refresh rate between 10Hz and 120Hz, based on the on-screen content requirement. Lastly, Apple has reduced the notch area on the top side of the screen by 20 per cent. The notch now seems smaller but it is still big enough to be seen as a distraction on the screen.

Moving to imaging, the iPhone 13 Pro has got a new set of three 12-megapixel sensors on the back. Though they seem lacking on paper in terms of megapixel count, their performance and output are top-notch. The primary wide-angle sensor is a stellar performer, irrespective of lighting conditions. The ultra-wide-angle sensor is as good and doubles up as a macro camera for close-up shots, thanks to the auto-focus system. The telephoto lens enables up to 3x optical zoom and is a solid performer – especially in daylight conditions. Overall, the iPhone 13 Pro’s camera system matches the best of cameras in other premium smartphones currently available in the market in terms of still photography.
