This is the Apple iPhone 13 family

iPhone 13 vs iPhone 13 mini vs iPhone 13 Pro vs iPhone 13 Pro Max: the differences.

From  Cellular B2B, as suppliers, wholesalers and distributors of iPhone Apple smartphones, we leave you this post to explain their differences in broad strokes and so that this comparison helps you choose the one that best suits your needs and those of your customers.

Apple repeats the formula and its most current high-end is made up of four models: iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. At the beginning we already see that Apple has divided these devices into two different categories, where on the one hand we have the standard category, the NO PRO iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini and on the other the PRO category iPhone 13 pro and iPhone 13 pro max , where the most advanced features are offered.

How are the iPhone 13 the same?

We begin the comparison with those points where there are no differences since, for another year, the iPhone 13 family shares a good part of the hardware. All iPhone 13s have the new Apple A15 Bionic, the most powerful processor today. The only caveat here is that the Pro models have 6 GB of RAM compared to 4 GB on the 13 and 13 mini and a GPU with an extra core that packs quite a punch. They all share OLED screen technology, with Full HD+ resolution and compatibility with Dolby Vision. They have also reduced the notch in the four members of the iPhone 13 family, now being a little smaller, although without being a big change compared to the previous generation. At the hardware level, they are all practically the same. They share screen technology, they are Full HD+, they have the same processor and camera resolution.

There are also no differences in speaker placement, connectivity, or technologies like wireless charging. Similarly, they all have 12-megapixel sensors with the main sensor stabilized, technology that they inherit from the iPhone 12 Pro Max. However, later we will see that there are differences in sensor size and optics.

How are the iPhone 13 different?

Apple is the company that offers the most variety of sizes in its high-end family. Starting with the smallest model, we have the iPhone 13 mini, a terminal with a height of just 13 centimeters. It is the most powerful small high-end mobile on the market, without competition from the big manufacturers, weighing only 135 grams, almost 100 grams less than any current high-end. If you are looking for a small phone that can be used with one hand, we have already informed you that this is the best option.

The iPhone 13 and 13 Pro are the middle ground: they are still smaller than the current high-end, but not as small as the mini. Here we have two terminals 14.6 centimeters high, very comfortable in hand and with a balanced size. The difference between materials is notable, since the iPhone 13 and 13 mini are made of aluminum and shiny glass, while the Pro have stainless steel edges and matte glass, which repels fingerprints and slips less.

The weight increase is noticeable and much in the iPhone 13 Pro compared to the iPhone 13: 204 grams against 173 grams respectively. The iPhone 13 feels quite light, while the iPhone 13 Pro is starting to get pretty close to the weight of the Max model.

The iPhone 13 Pro Max is for those who want a giant mobile. It is a mobile that cannot be used with one hand, which weighs almost 240 grams and to which you must try to get used to. On an ergonomic level, the Pro Max is not the best option, although it has its advantages. In conclusion, we are convinced that the finish is a point to value in the Pro models, especially if we want to use the mobile without a case. The stainless steel finish is a high-end differential compared to traditional aluminum, although the weight is something to value for each one.

This new generation iPhone 13 presents a great improvement in battery in all models. The difference will depend on the model we choose: the larger the iPhone, the more battery it has. The iPhone 13 mini now has a range similar to that of the iPhone 12. The battery of the iPhone 13 mini keeps flying if we ask a lot of it. It lasts longer than the previous generation although it will hardly reach the end of the day under heavy use. The iPhone 13 and 13 Pro, despite the difference in milliamp hours, have almost identical autonomy. The iPhone 13 Pro has a smaller battery, but the ProMotion panel saves more power than the 13's panel, which manages to match the results. The battery of both phones is outstanding, being able to exceed the day of use with about seven hours of screen time.

Regarding the Pro Max, its autonomy is spectacular. More than 10 hours of screen time spread over two full days of use, making it practically impossible to exhaust it.

As for the respective cameras, it must be said that although the sensors are different, the final result is practically the same. Although the iPhone 12 Pro Max had a better sensor than its smaller brothers, but it did not take better photographs, in this case, the iPhone 13 and 13 mini have that sensor from the iPhone 12 Pro Max, while the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max have an even bigger sensor. Are there big differences? No, at least in photography with the main camera. In both good light and at night, there are no noticeable differences between the iPhone 13 and 13 Pro. Perhaps the Pro models have slightly more detail in very certain scenarios, but it's a minor difference. They all take great pictures.

The main difference is with an ultra wide angle with a new sensor and lens and the zoom, the secondary lenses of the iPhone. In the ultra wide angle there are differences in detail, although mainly in night photography. The latter is noticeable both in low light conditions and in situations where we require extra dynamic range.

As for the zoom, the Pro models mount a three-magnification telephoto lens that is convincing, as long as it is activated. This is one of the differential points of the Pro camera: a sharp zoom and a more successful portrait mode thanks to this 3X. The ultra wide angle is much brighter, f / 1.8 vs f / 2.4 and with a new sensor. At night we do notice a little more sharpness, although not as expected given the differences in hardware. Finally, note that the macro mode is restricted to the iPhone 13 Pro, so the focus distance is much closer.

Summary features of iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13

The new "entry range" iPhones are distinguished by a section of dual cameras (both 12 megapixels) diagonally. The design compared to the previous family was improved, now it has rounded edges and made the size of the notch smaller, so there is more space on the screen.

The processor of these computers has evolved. The Bionic A15 manages to work with 15.8 billion operations per second. In addition, it has a new 16-core Neural Engine and has expanded its 5G antenna capacity. Apple announced that by the end of the year they will have more providers to offer this technology in 60 countries around the world.

The screen of these devices is super retina XDR that improves color contrast and has IP68 water resistance. Another feature of its A15 chip is that it achieves greater energy efficiency, the iPhone 13 mini lasts 1.5 hours more than the 12 mini and the iPhone 13 lasts 2.5 hours more than its predecessor. Both the iPhone 13 mini and the iPhone 13 have the following storage capacities:

128GB / 256GB / 512GB

Overview iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max

In addition to the features that have already been mentioned in the smaller brothers of this model, such as Cinematic mode and the A15 Bionic chip, the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max have a couple of impressive features, for example, Pro Motion.

Pro Motion is the refresh rate technology for the screen of the new iPhones, and it can update from 10Hz to 120 Hz when needed, that is, the system adapts to the fluidity that the user requires and this allows equipment save battery.

Apple announced that, in addition to its Cinematic technology, ProRes video will soon be available, which will be able to record in 4k at 30 frames per second. This technology is one of the most innovative in the cinematographic world and will make this equipment take much more professional shots. The iPhone 13 Pro lasts up to 1.5 hours longer than the 12 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max lasts 2.5 hours longer than its predecessor. Both the iPhone 13 mini and the iPhone 13 have the following storage capacities:

128GB / 256GB / 512GB / 1TB
