It’s THAT time of the year again! When you’re just craving that new-iPhone smell… ok new iPhones don’t smell like anything… wait, I actually have never smelled a new iPhone (why would I) so I don’t know if it smells like anything or not… anyway, I digress…

The iPhone 13 line of Apple iPhones have arrived, and brought with them some much-anticipated technology. Since Apple announced their new series in mid September, people have been checking out the photos of iPhone 12 and 13 side by side to see if there's really a difference aside from the angle of the two cameras. But, now it’s here and we’ll know exactly what’s going on. Let's find out! 

First off, the packaging is great as always. Apple has made sure the packaging is still elegant, even though it’s made of less material and more eco-friendly components. 

 

Now to the iPhones!!

I call these iPhone 13 Light. It’s for those who want their iPhones smaller and lighter, enough to make calls, take great pictures, play games, surf the internet, and do one of the other thousands of things kids do on their phones these days. If you want to do a thousand and one, then look for a Pro version.

• Cameras:
• It comes with Apple’s most advanced dual-camera system, touting the long-awaited wide and ultra-wide cameras that capture more light and more of your surroundings. Improved night photography is a natural outcome of this advanced system.
• To be able to fit these powerful cameras, Apple has had to add them in a diagonal orientation, distancing itself from the vertical orientation of the 12 and 11 series.
• This more powerful camera is available in both iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini. 
• Improved Software Intelligence: Cinematic mode: This is a new camera mode that allows for focus shifting from one subject to another, resulting in directing the audience’s attention in the movie. This is already included in both sizes as well.
• The front camera has also been upgraded and made quite more capable.
• Material and Durability: The new 13 comes with the most durable material all around including
• Ceramic Shield front and back glass, which according to Apple is tougher than any smartphone glass.

• Increased Storage: iPhone 13 and 13 mini start at 128GB storage.
• Display:
• Super Retina XDR display in 5.4” and 6.1” sizes depending on your phone size
• Displays brighter content, in more detail, with more colors than your eye can see, and blacks so black that black holes have been created at a higher rate since the new iPhone came out. The pictures are also so sharp people have cut themselves just looking at them!!
• Improved battery life by 2.5 hours for iPhone 13 and 1.5 hours for iPhone 13 mini
• Apple’s fastest mobile processor (the A15)
• Fastest 5G mobile data speeds

iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max

Now, for those who do more than just the basics, whether it’s photography, serious business, skilled tomfoolery, or any other business that the 13 Light (iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini) can’t handle, oooooor if you just wanna make a point that you’re a big boy with a big toy, then you’ll be looking at the Pro line. And have they got an upgrade or what!!

• Cameras: Tremendously more powerful!
• It comes with Apple’s most advanced Pro camera system, with the biggest software and hardware upgrades yet. It allows for improved details in both light and dark environments, with better optical and digital zoom, as well as software-backed intelligence that supports camera operations in both picture and film environments. The new ultra-wide camera can focus at a distance of about 2 cm!
• To be able to fit these powerful cameras, Apple has had to add them in a diagonal orientation, distancing itself from the vertical orientation of the 12 and 11 series.
• This more powerful camera is available in both iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro. 
• Improved Software Intelligence: Cinematic mode: This is a new camera mode that allows for focus shifting from one subject to another, resulting in directing the audience’s attention in the movie. This is already included in both sizes as well.
• The front camera has also been upgraded and made quite more capable.
• Allows for recording and editing in ProRes or Dolby Vision.
• Material and Durability: The new 13 Pro line comes with the most durable material all around including
• Ceramic Shield front and back glass, which according to Apple is tougher than any smartphone glass.
• The glass is supported by a lightweight, super strong surgical-grade stainless steel chassis that surrounds the beautiful 6.7” Super Retina XDR Display (6.1” for iPhone 13 Pro) and the internal engines of this beast.

One person who had sustained a serious cut due to the sharp pictures of the 13 Light later lost his life because his doctor decapitated himself while looking at an even sharper image on his 13 Pro Max when reading “how to sew a wound” on the digital version of his “surgeries for dummies” book.

Cool Gadgets for Your Shiny New Toy

While the new iPhones have been touted to have more battery, I’ve personally heard this before a million times. Yet, I’m a master of depleting and draining battery, so I’m gonna buy myself a couple of battery charging cases and laugh in the face of those I pass by sitting next to AC plugs charging their phones in cars, airports, restrooms, coffeeshops, etc. 

Our battery cases are 100% compatible with all functions of the new iPhone 13 line, while your phone is in the case, you can 

• Charge your phone and the case together
• Sync data with your pc or mac, desktop or laptop
• Use your lightning EarPods to listen to audio
• Use your bluetooth AirPods or any other bluetooth accessory
• Use the lightning port to utilize CarPlay
• Utilize any other function such as ApplePay, etc.
