Who needs food anyway when you have the latest iPhone?

iPhone 13

The iPhone 13 series is coming in the Philippines on 22nd October! Yes, all four iPhone 13 versions: the regular, the mini, the Pro, and Pro Max.

To recall, the iPhone 13 and 13 mini will sport a dual camera system arranged in a diagonal manner, while the 13 Pro and Pro Max come with a triple camera system, plus a TOF camera, all of which are 12mp (except the TOF) (wide, ultrawide and telephoto). All the four phones will come with a 20% lesser notch.

The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max have identical specs, apart from the fact that the Pro Max is larger at 6.7in, while the Pro has a 6.2in. Super Retina XDR OLED panel; both of these come with 120Hz adaptive refresh rate which Apple calls as “ProMotion”. All four phones ship with iOS 15, Apple A15 Bionic SoC and 6GB RAM.

The iPhone 13 and 13 Mini will not come with the ProMotion display that the Pro and Pro Max comes with. They still do sport a Super Retina XDR OLED panel though. The iPhone 13 has a 6.1in. display while the Mini has a 5.4in. compact display.

The iPhone 13 and 13 mini come with a dual 12mp camera, wide and ultrawide. All four phones can record 4K video for up to 60fps. The Pro and Pro Max come with a nifty cinematic mode feature. Apple really expects you to use the iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max for movie shooting, when professional film cameras are available.

All four phones come with a 12mp front camera with gyro-EIS and 4K@60fps support. The phones all have different battery capacities. The iPhone 13 has a 3240mAh battery, the mini with 2438mAh battery, the Pro with 3095mAh battery and the Pro Max with 4352mAh battery. Apple said these batteries last 3x longer than the iPhone 12. All these can be charged through the Lightning Port (or USB-C if the EU pushes that law) and comes with 20W fast charging. All four phones are also IP68 certified.
