Apple iPhone 13 (128GB)

Apple’s iPhone 13 128 GB is a product of 2021. Apple’s new flagship smartphone comes with several new features and a dual camera. No new formula has been used in the design of this product and it has been copied from the previous generation.

Design

The 6.1-inch display of this is of the Super Retina type, and with its very high resolution, it displays images with the highest possible quality. The display quality of this phone is 120 Hz. In this new iPhone, it is possible to charge the battery wirelessly as before. The ceramic cover of this phone screen is very resistant to impact, scratches and scratches.

iPhone 13 128GB is waterproof and dust proof. Its beautiful body and display, with great resistance, is protected with a special coating and easily prevents the accumulation of stains and grease. Face recognition using the front camera is another feature used in this new Apple product. Ability to connect to 4G and 5G networks, Bluetooth version 5 and the iOS15 is another feature of this product. The new A15 chip with 15 billion transistors works with the heat management and reduction system, so that in addition to the usual tasks, this phone can support the new virtual reality capabilities that Apple is focusing on these days.

Apple has included a graphics processor in the 128GB version of the iPhone 13, which is 30% faster than its 12 series phones, and it promises that you can run games with heavier and larger graphics and MAP. One of the features that we see in the current iPhone is its cinematic ProRes video recording system, which could revolutionize the video recording of mobile phones. This feature can focus on people and objects face to face or between person and objects.

 

Deciding on the best iPhone for you can be difficult. You have to choose between iPhone 11, iPhone 12, and the latest iPhone released, the Apple iPhone SE 3. There are four different models to choose from on the iPhone 13 Series – 13, 13 mini, 13 pro and 13 pro max – each available in different colors and specifications. With all these choices, finding the right new iPhone for you can be confusing, but we’re here to help you.

The iPhone 13 launched in September along with the Apple Watch 7 and iPad Mini 6. Each of the four iPhone models runs Apple’s latest iOS, which is currently iOS 15.3 and will soon be upgraded to iOS 15.4. This phone has not changed much in appearance compared to last year’s models. The arrangement of the cameras is a slight upgrade in storage space and the use of the A15 processor, which distinguishes this product from the Apple iPhone 12.

This Apple mobile phone is a handy phone. Its dimensions are 7.65 × 71.5 × 146.7 mm. It weighs 174 grams. The front and back are made of glass, the frame is made of aluminum, and the 6.1-inch screen is made of scratch-resistant glass with Gorilla Glass ceramic shield. This phone is waterproof and has IP68 with resistance up to 30 minutes in water to a depth of 6 meters. The colors of this Apple product are various and include pink, blue, black, starlight and red. The purchase of iPhone 13 has been very well received by women.

In fact, the amount of internal memory affects the price of the iPhone 13. Another factor that affects the price of iPhone 13 128GB is whether this product is active or not. The price of iPhone 13 Active is cheaper than the same model but its Active. This difference is significant and, in some cases.

In an earlier article, we discussed the difference between an active iPhone and a non-active iPhone. See this page for more information. Our recommendation is to buy an active iPhone. The price of iPhone 13 128GB active is very affordable. We have not had a good experience buying the active sample. The first active version of this phone that we bought had a problem with the rear camera, and the warranty and insurance did not accept it. Of course, this is not always the case, but you have to take the risk.

 

Registring, activation code, tolls and customs, insurance, warranty, shipping costs and finally business profit are the next factors that affect the price of this phone in Iran.

Introduction

One small reduction of notch, one big leap for the iPhone! This is the best description for the most minor iPhone upgrade yet – the Apple iPhone 13. So we would not expect this iPhone to look much different from its predecessor. But, even if this does not make iPhone 12 owners line up for the new model, whether we like it or not, it is still one of the most powerful smartphones on the market and bestseller in the making.

The notorious notch, first introduced back with the iPhone X in 2017, spread in mere months across the entire smartphone industry, possibly faster than any other feature so far. Shortly after pop-up selfie cameras were introduced, the cuts were replaced by drip notches, and Apple tried to make the cuts smaller and smaller. And for the first time in four years, Apple reduced the size of its notches, but not much, and finally the process of getting rid of it began. The predictions for the iPhone 14 are already running wild.

It is a mistake to focus only on the size of the notch with iPhone 13. The current iPhone has a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with Dolby Vision, now with higher brightness, the most powerful mobile chip to date – the Apple A15 Bionic, and three 12-megapixel cameras with good capabilities (two on the back and one on the front). Apple has used a new and larger sensor for the main camera and has stabilized the sensor change compared to last year’s 12 Pro Max trickled down across the entire iPhone 13 lineup.

Other changes include dual storage space, a larger battery, and a few proprietary software tricks for the camera like Cinematic mode and Photographic styles.

A brighter screen with a smaller cutout, a faster chipset, more storage, longer battery life and improved sensor on the main camera. Not the upgrade iPhone 12 users have been waiting for, but for people who use older generation iPhones.

 

The price of the Apple iPhone 13 128GB is really affordable compared to the older generation iPhone. The features included in this iPhone series are truly unique and you will never regret buying this product.

The biggest disappointment should be the lack of support for ProMotion – the 120Hz refresh rate is exclusive to the Pro models this year, and we guess standard models will have to wait a year or two before they are allowed to have it. The ultra-widescreen autofocus upgrade is also unique to the Pro series, which isn’t great, but that’s what Apple usually does, so not surprising either.

With the continuation of the chip crisis, along with other production problems due to the epidemic and lack of resources, The iPhone 13 series devices will face various delays in production and shipping.

Unboxing the iPhone 13

There is not much to unbox in this phone because Apple, in order to reduce electronic waste, has removed everything except the USB cable from the retail boxes of this mobile phone with a capacity of 128 GB. This year, with the removal of plastic packaging, everything has taken on the color and smell of more environmental protection, wherever packaging was needed, Apple has used paper sticker stickers.

So, inside this thin and lightweight box, you will find the iPhone 13 and a USB-C to Lightning cable.

Apple has still not switched to USB-C on the iPhones for various reasons, most of them being accessories compatibility and electronic waste. The EU Commission is pressing for such change, so we are either seeing the last of Lightning-capable iPhones or, knowing Apple, the last of the iPhones with any sort of USB ports.

The small paper compartment contains some paperwork, the SIM-ejection pin and one Apple sticker.

Design and build quality

The iPhone 13 is the iPhone 12 with three minor changes – diagonally-placed rear cameras, a smaller screen cutout, and a bit heavier body. Having said that, the iPhone 13 is still one of the most beautiful yet simple smartphones, with one of the most durable and water-resistant designs. Oh, and it’s unexpectedly grippy!

There can’t be a new iPhone without at least one new color, and for the iPhone 13, that’s Pink. It comes to replace the cool green option introduced last year, which was likable, but it’s no longer around.

There is no new iPhone without at least one new color, and for the new iPhone it is pink that replaces the lovely green option introduced last year, but no longer exists.

The iPhone 13 shares a lot of body elements with the iPhone 12. In fact, the design and shape are mostly the same, with a few minor differences here and there. For starters, the iPhone 13 has its two rear cameras aligned diagonally instead of vertically.

That’s probably not a design choice for the sake of difference but was most probably needed because of the new larger sensor on the primary camera and its sensor-shift stabilization.

Moving on to the front, the most obvious change is the size of the screen notch. It is shorter on the iPhone 13, but if we are to be finicky, it’s also about a millimeter thicker.

The Face ID sensors and front camera are still the same, and the phone capsule is a stereo speaker. And while we are looking at it, the speaker grille is now a separate component with its own frame instead of a thin mesh below a cutout. We don’t know why this complication was necessary, but we hope it’s for the best.

The iPhone 13 128GB is exactly the same size as the iPhone 12, but due to the larger battery and various components, it is now 10 grams heavier and 0.3 mm thicker. The extra weight is good, we always appreciate the extra battery, but this whisker of the new thickness will be problematic for reusing the iPhone 12 case.

Now that we saw the new and the old iPhone, let’s take a close look at this pink-ish iPhone 13.

It has a flat ceramic Shield on the front, which is covered by a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED panel. The margins are like the iPhone 12, the notch is smaller, while the screen brightness can now reach 800 nits. The Shield is quite durable on the iPhone 12, and we expect it to be just as good on the iPhone 13 28GB.

The back of the iPhone 13 is covered by a flat tempered glass made by Corning. Of course, the Apple logo is here and it is mirrored as always.

The square frame of the camera protrudes like before, but it is thicker than the iPhone 12, and the new model wobbles a lot more when resting on a desk.

There are two camera rings on top of that square glass, and two sapphire crystal lenses are extending above the metal rings. As usual, non-Pro models have glossy rear panels and matte camera spots, while the Pro models have it the other way around.

Apart from the two 12-megapixel snappers, here you can also see the dual LED flash and one of the microphones.

This is where you get our usual warning about leaving the iPhone 13 on a glass table or worse, picking it up on another phone / tablet. Lens cover (s) easily scratches your friend’s phone or tablet glass.

One of the things we all loved about the iPhone 12 series and now the iPhone 13 as well are the flat frames. They offer incredible grip, a huge boost over the curvy iPhone 11s, making it impossible to lift from a desk if used without a case.

The iPhone 13 128GB has a matte-coated aluminum frame that is sprayed with a similar pink color as the back. The Pro models use polished stainless-steel frames to show off their premium-ness.

The left has a lot of stuff – the silencer button is here, followed by the two-volume keys, and finally, you can see the nanoSIM tray.

The right side has a long Side key that has many functions – lock / unlock, Siri activation and Apple Pay summoning.

Finally, the bottom side houses the microphone, the lightning port and second stereo speaker. Apple iPhone 13 128GB is fully waterproofed – it is IP68-rated for dust and water resistance, but Apple promises it can to survive for 30 minutes in 6 meters deep water, which goes beyond the traditional IP68 specification. Remember, phones are only waterproofed against clean water only, unless otherwise noted, and any sea/saltwater is bad for your phone and will most likely be the end of it.

Handling the iPhone 13 128GB is one of the most enjoyable experiences we have had with a smartphone since, well, the iPhone 12. This handset is incredibly grippy, it strikes the perfect balance between compact size and a multimedia-friendly screen, and is nicely thin and lightweight.

Apple has always putting an oleophobic coating on its glass panels, and the iPhone 13 is no different. Thanks to this extra layer, it takes longer for the stains to accumulate and then it is very easy to clean – one wipe with your palm or shirt is usually enough.

In terms of design, we do not change anything in the iPhone 13 128GB. It is one of the most balanced smartphones on the market, one of the strongest and most protected ones, and we simply loved it.

Lab tests – display, battery life, charging speed, speakers

Apple iPhone 13 128GB has a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen, the same size of the iPhone 12’s. It supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision, but features a few updates like a reduced notch and a brighter panel. Unfortunately, 120Hz ProMotion mode is exclusive to the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max.

The OLED panel has 1170 x 2532 pixels or 460ppi, it is protected by Ceramic Shield glass by Corning.

Therefore, the iPhone 13 display supports the standard 60Hz refresh rate, while the touch sensors should be work with 120Hz sampling. The panel supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision, it should provide 800 nits of normal maximum brightness and 1200 nits of maximum brightness when watching HDR content.

The iPhone 13 screen also supports True Tone, Wide Color adjustments and it has the Haptic Touch provided by the powerful Taptic Engine.

We have completed our usual display measurements and we captured a maximum brightness of 802 nits. The minimum brightness is dramatically low at 1.7 nits.

There’s no Auto-Brightness on any of the iPhones, but that’s understandable – Apple has always its users to use the maximum brightness if they ever felt they needed it.

The iPhone 13 128GB panel has amazing color accuracy – we measured an average of the Delta 1.6 against sRGB targets. This panel fully supports DCI-P3 and it automatically switches to this gamma when DCI-P3 content is sent to the screen.

The screen on this iPhone 13 does something that only few screen do- it maintains excellent color accuracy at all brightness levels, even at the lowest point of 1.9 nits!

The iPhone 13 biggest screen updates are the smaller notch and the higher brightness. The reduction of the cutout is not as big as some have hoped, but it is the beginning of a process that will eventually lead to its extinction, and it was about time!

Battery life

The Apple iPhone 13 128GB packs a 3240 mAh battery – a very nice 15% upgrade over the iPhone 12. Apple promises a minimum of 2 extra hours of video playback and up to 4 extra hours of video streaming time compared to the iPhone 12.

And we did get better results! Compared to the iPhone 12, the iPhone 13 clocked 3 additional hours on web browsing and nearly 4 hours on our video test. The uninspiring call and standby performances are shared across the iPhones, so the endurance rating is lower than expected of 89 hours.

Charging speed

Apple’s charging has not changed since the iPhone 12 series. Apple’s official specs on the maximum charging power the iPhone 13 128GB can achieve with USB-PD powered adapters, but the tests show that the iPhone 13’s fast charging maxes out at 23 watts. Apple is offering 20-watt USB-PD chargers as an extra purchase. It is a standard USB-PD charger with a USB-C port, so you could get any third-party USB-PD charger instead – there are more compact and cheaper options. To get the price and buy the original 20 watt Apple adapter, refer to the relevant page.

The iPhone 13 128GB also supports fast wireless charging. To achieve the maximum of 15 watts, you need to use an Apple MagSafe charger, otherwise, any Qi-compatible would do for slow 5 watt -7 watt charging..

So, if you plug the iPhone 13 in Apple’s 20-watt charger, it will recharge 54% of its dead battery in half an hour. If you hook it on a MagSafe charger – you will get 32% in 30 minutes.

A full charge on a cable requires 106 minutes, which is a bit absurd as the iPhone 13 reaches 80% in 50 minutes, and the last 20% chage require additional 56 minutes to top off!

A full charge on the wireless MagSafe charger takes about 2 hours 19 minutes – that is 41 minutes faster than last year.

Speaker loudness and quality

This iPhone 13 offers the same powerful speakers as the iPhone 12 smartphones. The first speaker is inside the notch and also acts as an earpiece when necessary, while the other one is at the bottom next to the Lightning port.

The speakers support spatial audio and Dolby Atmos, and we know we’ve said this before, but the output sound is exactly as promised and more spacious than other phones.

The iPhone 13 scored another very good mark for Apple, and we have to admire that consistency. The audio quality is expected to be amazing – there is good bass, the mid-tones are lovely and the high-notes are great as well. Indeed, the iPhone 13 has one of the best stereo speakers a smartphone can offer right now.

Software and performance of iPhone 13 128GB

All new iPhones come with Apple iOS 15 out of the box. This isn’t a big upgrade over iOS 14, but it does round many UI elements shapes such as settings menus and icons, notifications, buttons. The new version has been drastically improved on FaceTime and messages, notifications management, Safari browser (now with extensions), wallet and Maps. It also makes photos and Spotlight smarter, while the camera app can now read and let you copy text in real time.

Now let’s take a closer look at iPhone 13’s iOS 15. Its interface is still based on homescreens full of apps and widgets, an app library for your less important apps, and Notification and Control Centers.

The lock screen on iOS 15 remains intact – it’s one with the Notification Center and houses your notifications (privacy options available), plus shortcuts for the torch and camera. You can get past it via Face ID or PIN if you’ve opted for secure unlock.

Your applications usually fill the homescreen(s) and widgets. There are two specific screens – the leftmost is Today page, and the rightmost page – App library.

you to hide a specific home screen – you may have a page that is full of games and hides while working or hide a page from work / school apps when of vocation. However, you cannot opt-out of Today and App Library, though.

Apple iOS 15 has a new Focus option whish switches between different modes like Work, Personal, Driving, Gaming, Do Not Disturb, among others, and it is now the best way to automatically hide / show home screens pages. We will get to in a bit.

If you do not like the App Library, you can continue to use iOS 15 the old-fashioned way and completely ignore the feature. However, there is no option to disable the App Library page.

Widgets can be placed on any of the home screens and the Today page and they can coexist with app icons. There are three widget sizes supported by iOS 14 – 2×2, 2×4 and 4×4.

You can stack widgets of the same size on top of one another. Once you have a stack, you can automatically select the operating system where the most relevant widget is automatically placed on top of the stack. Or you can manually flip through the stack by swiping up or down until you find the widget you need. And we love stacked widgets – this is a real space saver – especially if you combine the most used widgets at the top with the less frequently used ones in the stack below it.

The Library app is an app drawer, which is always to the right of your home screen. Apps are automatically added to the app upon installation. Sorting is also an automated process, and you cannot edit categories or move applications into different categories. App sorting depends on the App Store tags that the developer has used when uploading the apps.

The App library has only three settings – add new apps to the home screen and the App library, add to the library app and show Notifications Badges in the App library. The app Library is where you want to get rid of your unused apps. The iPhone 13 128GB is full of software and tricks that we will definitely deal with elsewhere.

Performance and benchmarks

The latest Apple A15 Bionic chip powers all iPhone 13 models. It is second 5nm Apple’s chip (second-generation 5nm TSMC process) with 15 billion transistors – that’s 27% more than the A14 within the iPhone 12 phones.

The new A15 chip still relies on a hexa-core processor with two large Avalanche cores clocked at 3.23 GHz and 4 small Blizzard cores clocked at 1.82 GHz. The upgraded processor should deliver a 50 percent more performance than the competition, whatever that means (Snapdragon 865 maybe?).

There is an improved 5-core Apple GPU for the Pro models and 4-core Apple GPU for the non-Pro devices such as our iPhone 13 here.

The new A15 also features a new 16-core neural engine that enhances features such as on-device voice and image recognition and other advanced machine learning tasks. In addition, there is a new ISP on board, twice the amount of cache, as well as a new display engine and new video encoders and decoders.

The iPhone 13 has 4GB of RAM, while the Pro models have 6GB of RAM. The Apple A15 Bionic also comes with a Qualcomm X60 5G modem.

It offers a 15% boost over the A14 in multi-core performance and a 10% jump in single-core operations.

The new Apple chip performance has never been one of the reasons for the upgrade. Sure, it’s the fastest mobile chip in the world, and if it were an Android phone, it would be truly unique in the world. But it is not. Apple chipsets are always ahead of their time, and their full utilization usually happens in a few years, so whether it’s A15, A14 or even A13 – it’s not that matter. What matters are the new features that make this chip unique, like Cinema Mode and Dolby Vision at 60 frames per second capturing on the A15, Deep Fusion on the A14, and more.

We also performed CPU and GPU stability tests like all of our reviews lately. First, we performed the CPU Pressure Test (APSI Bench) for 30 minutes. The cooling system allowed the CPU to keep 78% of its maximum performance, which is great for such a thin glass phone.

Then we ran the GPU Stress Test through the 3D Mark Wild Life app. The iPhone 13 slowed to 63.2 percent of its maximum performance when it ran at 100 percent for 20 minutes – not inspiring, but still a good number. And it did not fall any further, we did this test for two hours and within 40-50 minutes it actually climbed to 75% and stabilized there.

The phone did not get unpleasantly hot during these pressure tests, but it did warm significantly.

The iPhone 13 does an amazing job when running games – there is no modern game that does not run easily and with the best graphics. It does not get that hot while doing so and can provide such smooth gaming for about 9 to 10 hours before the battery runs out.

It also has the fastest chip in the world to date, and we really can’t ask for more. We know that 4GB of RAM may seem ridiculous for Android, but iOS and its apps are good enough because of Apple’s optimizations and how to manage apps. Most games pause when they are minimized. The worst thing that can happen is that some of your scaled-down apps may need to be restarted if it takes a long time to scroll down. But that seems to be true for any phone, isn’t it?

Camera, photo and video quality testing

The Apple iPhone 13 offers the same camera setup to the iPhone 12’s. there are two 12-megapixel cameras on the back and a 12-megapixel selfie shooter at the front. The SL 3D scanner for Face ID helps with portrait mode in selfies.

There are two hardware upgrades and several software ones available for the iPhone 13.

The primary 12-megapixel camera has gotten a new sensor with larger pixels and high-end sensor shift stabilization. It now uses a larger Sony sensor with 1.7µm pixels (compared to 1.4µm on the iPhone 12). The lens is 26mm f / 1.6 similar to the iPhone 12’s main camera, but with a different stabilizer. Instead of optical stabilization, the camera now uses the iPhone 12 Pro Max sensor shift stabilization. This means that the sensor itself is stabilized in real time, not the lens similar to the internal stabilization or IBIS seen in many large-sensor digital cameras.

The secondary camera is similar to the iPhone 12’s – a 12-megapixel imager with 1.0µm and a 14mm f/2.4 lens for ultra-wide photos. The focus is fixed and there is no stabilization.

The selfie camera has also been removed directly from the iPhone 12. It has a 12-megapixel sensor with 1.0µm pixels and a 23mm f/2.2 lens. The Focus is once again fixed. When using portrait mode on this camera, it captures depth information with the structured-light 3D scanner, so it should be taking some impressive selfies portraits.

All three snipers support video capturing up to 4K@60fps with cinematic stabilization and Expanded Dynamic Range. Dolby Vision HDR capturing is possible on all cameras in all modes. The new cinematic mode works on main and selfie shooters only.

iPhone 13 128GB: Camera app and features

The viewfinder has been mostly the same since the iOS 13 and the iPhone 11 – you can see outside of the viewfinder thanks to the precise calibration of the two cameras that allows seeing what will be left outside of the frame in real-time.

The Apple image processing includes all the old features like Smart HDR, night mode in all cameras and Deep Fusion.

The night mode icon appears automatically when a scene is displayed in low light, and of course takes a photo with the same exposure. You will see the suggested seconds next to the night mode icon, but if you tap it, you can change the simulated long exposure or turn it off altogether. It is usually between 1 and 2 seconds, but sometimes the phone allows you to go for 30 seconds depending on the environmental light or not. You can use this mode in the main camera, ultra-wide and even selfie snapper.

Deep Fusion is used when lighting conditions, like indoors, are not ideal. This feature works instead of Smart HDR and Night Mode. Deep Fusion uses four frames before you hit the shutter, four more once you do, and one long exposure shot. The Neural engine will select the best frames and create a high-quality HDR photo that is very detailed, sharp, and more natural-looking. The Neural processor’s machine learning process analyzes the captured image and processes it differently depending on what is in the frame – for example sky, foliage or skin tones. Meanwhile, structure and color tones are based on the ratios obtained by the neural unit on the A15 CPU.

As usual, all cameras talk to each other, so they already know the correct exposure and tone mapping settings when you switch between them. This applies to both stills and videos.

The camera interface is mostly unchanged. You can swipe between modes and have a few settings can uncover with an upward swipe – flash, night mode, live photo, photo aspect, exposure compensation, and filters. In video mode, you can change the resolution and frame rate of the viewfinder.

Photo quality

The main camera’s 12-megapixel photos have rich detail, excellent contrast and extremely low noise levels. The dynamic range is good, not the best we’ve seen, but we can describe it as balanced and natural instead of over the top.

The white balance is exceptional and the colors are as true to life as possible. Some of the less-colorful samples may seem, a bit anemic, but we looked and these were real colors. If you do not like the Apple method of using accurate and painfully colors, you can always opt for one of the photographic styles and adjust the tone and colors for every photo that’s comes next.

One of the things we do not advocate is the foliage presentation. Sometimes the grass is good and the leaves look good, other times – they are awfully smeared. With this new and even bigger sensor, we certainly expected more sophisticated details, but we got the same as last year and the year before that. It seems Apple’s skills are not particularly good in this area.

12-megapixel main camera

The 12-megapixel Ultra-wide photos are some of the widest photos we have shot so far and on the screen, they look great when shared on social network. The resolution is good, the contrast is excellent, and the colors are accurate.

The main camera can take beautiful portraits and can do them well. The subjects are fantastic – sharp and detailed, colorful, noise-free, while the photo has a nicely balanced exposure. Background blur is enjoyable.

The subject resolution is skillful, although there are times when some background objects may interfere with their accuracy.

However, the AI behind this portrait mode and depth map is very capabl, and we know that many users will using it and showing off their interesting photos.

Night Mode triggers automatically when the light is low. You can opt-out of using it or correct the suggested exposure time, but we strongly suggest leaving it to do its job as it sees fit. The mode usually opts for 1s or 2s exposure times, and the photo is saved instantly, making it among the fastest Night Modes on the market.

The Night Mode-enhanced photos are brilliant – they are incredibly detailed, with excellent color saturation, great contrast, commendable exposure, and good dynamic range. The noise reduction is proficient and cleans the photos very well without taking much detail in the process.

These photos look well balanced – they are not too bright and look as natural as possible.

Selfies

Apple has been offering two Field-of-View modes on the selfie camera for a few generations already – the slightly zoomed-in 7MP crop, which is equivalent to a 30mm field of view, and the full 12MP mode, which has a 23mm equivalent FoV.

If you hold the iPhone in portrait orientation, selfies are cropped to 7MP to provide a tighter framing, but if you rotate the phone horizontally, you will get more of the scene with the camera app automatically switching to the wider 12MP mode. You can also switch between those two modes manually – there is a switch shortcut on the viewfinder.

The 12-megapixel front camera photos are amazing, if not the best selfies we’ve ever seen. The resolved details are spectacular, the contrast and dynamic range are admirable, and the colors are impressively accurate. The noise is low and even very well controlled even when shooting indoors – something selfie cameras can do.

You can shoot portraits with the front camera because the SL 3D snapper helps with depth mapping. This is why the separation of the subject is stunning and the blurring of the background is quite dramatic. Just like regular selfies, portrait selfies are great for everything – detail and sharpness, colors, contrast, balanced dynamic range.

However, portraits are shot in 7 megapixels, which means that the camera crops a part of its available FoV and shows a zoomed-in shot.

Video quality

The iPhone 13 captures video up to 4K at 60 frames per second, and it can even do it simultaneously if you have the right app.

All videos are digitally (also optically where available) stabilized – Apple calls this cinematic video stabilization. All modes, including 4K@60fps, eature expanded dynamic range thanks to the Smart HDR. The slow-mo options max out at 1080p at 240fps.

You can also capture HDR videos directly in Dolby Vision format up to 4K at 60 frames per second (iPhone 12 was limited to 30 frames per second). You can edit these videos on the go on your phone, you can upload them to YouTube or any other popular platform, or even send them to your friends. Dolby Vision information is saved outside of video stream, so the video will looks normal to any non-HDR player / screen, and will be color-boosted on any Dolby Vision-compatible player and display.

You can also choice between H.265 HEVC and H.264 video encoders. The high-performance mode uses H.265 and is mandatory for 4K@60fps and HDR footage, while the more Compatible mode (H.264) provides easier playback across different devices.

The iPhone 13 128GB, just like previous iPhones, captures wide stereo audio for movies at 192 kbps. It’s a spatial sound and is richer and deeper than a regular stereo.

The 4K video quality of the main camera is spectacular. The detail is excellent, the image is naturally sharp, the dynamic range is exceptional, the contrast is excellent, the color rendering is with perfect accuracy. These 4K videos should be some of the best we’ve seen, with great video and audio. The stabilization on the iPhone 13 with a capacity of 128 GB also works amazingly!

Alternatives, our verdict, pros and cons

The Apple iPhone 13 128GB is obviously a very small upgrade over the iPhone 12, and we cannot think of a reason why any iPhone 12 user should jump on it.

But the iPhone 13 is also one of the best current smartphones on the market due to its beautiful design, more durability, powerful hardware, great speakers and excellent camera experience day and night. And for such a compact device, the battery life was also very good, too.

Of course, there are many offers on the market, and competing within Apple’s own series is tough enough right now. Suppose you use an older model iPhone; do you have to buy this iPhone 13 128 GB with a price of nearly 300 million (Rials) or another iPhone?

Well, the iPhone 12 is now at least 40 to 50 million (Rials) cheaper than even the aforementioned iPhone, while sellers are preparing to replace the old model with a new model, doing bigger ads. And almost the same device with a slightly larger cut and cinematic video mode is missing. We cannot blame anyone that would skip these features and gets the iPhone 12 at a great discount instead.

The iPhone 11 is still on sale. The iPhone 13 128gb is a very powerful smartphone that is great for gaming, plus it has an IP68 rated device on both sides. It has a 6.1-inch LCD screen and a familiar 12-megapixel dual camera, supports Face ID, and its 12-megapixel selfie camera is really good. Needless to say, the battery life is also excellent.

Of course, if you want the most compact yet powerful iPhone, you can get the iPhone 13 Mini, which is similar to this iPhone, but smaller. Or if you want the best compact iPhone right now, the iPhone 13 Pro offers a 120Hz display, more powerful graphics, and much better ultraviolet and telephoto cameras. This is a significant upgrade over the iPhone 12 Pro and will surely get the most attention. We guess most people will get it for their versatile photography skills with the added autofocus and 3x zoom lens, so you should consider that too.

And if you are into Android phones of similar size and capabilities like the iPhone 13, you may want to explore the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G. This is not-so-large phone with 120Hz OLEDs, powerful processors, and great cameras, plus it is all cheaper!

Our verdict

The Apple iPhone 13 128GB is a very powerful smartphone – it has one of the fastest chipsets and one of the best camera kits – so it is ideal for photography and video capturing on the go, great for bloggers and influencers on a budgets. It also does a great job of playing your favorite programs and playing hard games. Its speakers are also amazingly beautiful.

The iPhone 13 128GB is a premium-looking smartphone with excellent all-round protection. But this is not just good looks. Also made for durability with ceramic and sapphire protective coatings for lenses.

There is also another thing that seems to be unique to the iPhone 13 128GB – the promised 5 years of major upgrades. This is a lot more than any Android device can offer, but also understandable since Apple produces a limited number of phones and has full control over every aspect of them.

Apple iPhone 13 128GB is not a perfect smartphone – the notch is still huge as Apple does not want to resurrect the Touch ID yet, the 120Hz display is exclusive to the more expensive Pro model, and it just won’t allow for faster than 25W charging, though the last one could be somewhat responsible for the longer battery lifespan of the iPhones.

But there are two undeniable facts – no iPhone is a bad phone, on the contrary – every iPhone is designed to excel at a wide variety of tasks, and it does. And secondly, no review will make an Apple user decide to buy / upgrade their iPhone for this reason. So, go get your new iPhone and enjoy it, this is another good phone, if you needed to hear it from us.
