Apple had plenty ofnew stuff to harbinger during its September “ California Streaming ” event : new iPads , four iPhone 13 model , Apple Watch Series 7 , and even some novel Apple Fitness+ stuff . It ’s a lot to be shake up about if you ’re an Apple fan , so much so that you might have leave out some of the fine print . If you look really nearly at the spec sheets , insistency vent , and product pages , you ’ll receive pile of footnotes and asterisks worth charter a closemouthed look at .
Here are some of the small , but important , details you may have miss .
Cinematic Mode is limited to 1080p and 30fps
Apple made a big deal about its Cinematic Mode for shooting picture , which shoot Dolby Vision HDR and does both automatic and manual wrack nidus , while storing focus entropy in the video data so you could even change it afterwards . It ’s a really cool feature , but it ’s not useful if you ’re all about that 4 M , because Cinematic Mode is limited to 1080p and 30fps .
ProRes is limited to 1080p on the 128GB iPhone 13 Pro
Speaking of limited resolve , rooter who are excited about the prospect of fritter away in ProRes ( after an update afterwards this year ) might desire to ensure they get at least 256 GB of storage on their iPhone 13 professional . If you only have the 128 GB mannequin , it is define to 1080p resolving power at 30fps . To get 4 K resolution ( still limited to 30fps ) you have to take a hop for the 256 GB modeling or better . And as Apple order , ProRes is only for the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max ( Cinematic Mode is on all iPhone 13 model ) .
The iPhones are all just slightly thicker and heavier
All iPhone 13 models are just 0.01 inches ( 0.25 mm ) thicker than the iPhone 12 models . With the larger camera regalia , your old iPhone 12 case would n’t have fit , anyway . They ’re also from 5 to 8 percent heavier , look on the role model . You ’re not likely not notice a 10 - gram difference in weightiness , though .
iPhone 13
The notch is narrower, but also taller
Apple made a big deal about the notch on the iPhone 13 being20 percent narrowerthan on the iPhone 12 . It ’s a really obvious difference ( and we might even get another condition bar icon because of it ) . But what you may not have so readily acknowledge is that the notch come along to be just atiny bit marvelous , too . It ’s a very small difference , and we ’ll gladly take the trade-off , but it seem clear in Apple ’s photos .

The iPhone 13 has dual eSim support
The iPhone 12 back dual - SIM with one nano - SIM and one eSIM . With the iPhone 13 line , you may do threefold - sim with two eSIM connections , if supported by your carrier .
The iPhone 13 Pro has an extra GPU core
The A15 has five GPU cores , but only four of them are active in the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini , while all five are participating in the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max . That means more graphics performance of the iPhone 13 Pro could be as much as 25 % better than the iPhone 13 ( though we expect a interruption of around 15 % to be more likely in literal - world scenario ) .
The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max only differ in size
Last year , Apple added feature film to the iPhone 12 Pro Max that were n’t useable anywhere else , even in the iPhone 12 Pro . The telephoto camera was a 2.5x zoom alternatively of a 2x zoom , and the standard Wide camera was considerably bigger ( 47 pct orotund ) and had sensing element - shift picture stabilization . If you want the best , you had to buy the biggest iPhone whether you care that size or not .
With the iPhone 13 , the Pro and Pro Max models are totally identical , spare for the obvious differences in size of it and barrage fire capacity . They have all the same features , so you do n’t have to buy the swelled model if you do n’t want a really big phone .
