iPhone 13 – BOORINGGG!

Apple has finally announced the official lineup of the brand new iPhone 13. And truthfully, the keynote was a predictable snooze fest, and it was that way for some time. I actually don’t see any “should have” update feature. The iPhone 13 is not much different from the 12, which is not much different from the 11.

It’s definitely not an exciting yr for Apple fans. But while I feel the phones are disappointing, let’s take a take a look at what innovations Apple has dropped at this yr’s iPhones.

First, the largest improvements you will see on the iPhone 13 are a 20% smaller notch and a 120Hz promotional display on the Pro models. Speaking of 120Hz, keep in mind that through the iPhone 12 launch I talked about how people might be Apple fanboys after they finally go to 120Hz. Look. This is precisely what is going on. You’ll find tons of them on Twitter and surprisingly, our beloved Ice Universe is at the highest.

Anyway, this Apple keynote seemed odd for a variety of reasons. First, Apple has began talking in regards to the A15 Bionic chipset. Typically, Apple compares its latest A-series chipset to the previous one, stating how much faster the processor is than the previous one. But this time Apple didn’t try this, as an alternative pitting the A15 chip against a quote and quote from its best-selling Android competition.

That is as vague as possible. I mean, the best-selling Android phone is $200, and at best a mid-range phone, which just goes to point out how pointless Apple’s comparisons are. The A15 appears to have a slight improvement within the CPU part, but has improved codecs for improved signal, video and image. The GPU now has 5 cores, but only on Pro models. Time will tell how this compares to what’s next from AMD and Qualcomm, because like I said, Apple’s comparisons are vague and principally useless.

One other strange thing in regards to the iPhone 13 Pro is that the phone can now record 4K videos at 30 frames per second. This is not strange: if you happen to get the 128GB variant, Apple won’t let you employ this feature, as an alternative you will be limited to 1080p at 30. If you ought to use this feature, you will need to purchase the 256 GB version at the least. It’s classic Apple, I mean, yes, they might do it to maintain people from filling up their memory quickly, but that must be an option left to users. They may have just let you understand that recording at 4K resolution at 30 seconds could replenish their memory immediately, but they will not try this because they need you to purchase their phones with higher memory.

One thing I actually liked in regards to the latest iPhones is the cinematic video mode, which might mimic the focusing capabilities of skilled cameras. For instance, making the person within the foreground completely clear and everybody within the background blurry. What’s more, Cinematic Mode is wise enough to focus attention on an individual within the background if a personality within the foreground looks at them. It really does look great, but you have got to keep in mind that this video was shot by probably the most skilled cameraman Apple could find, with equipment you could not even imagine.

So we’ll must wait and see real reviews from average YouTubers to see if it’s really something value waiting for. But these are really latest iPhone improvements this yr. Over the past 2-3 years, I even have felt an increasing number of dissatisfied with each latest iPhone release. And the iPhone 13 line is unfortunately no different.
