The differences between iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro

On September 14, 2021, Apple announced its new thirteenth series of iPhone smartphones. The company showed us four models: the more budget iPhone 13 and its more professional counterpart, the iPhone 13 Pro model. In this post, we'll take a closer look at their similarities and differences.

Characteristics

• Design and display

The two phones share the same flat-edge design style that is similar to the previous generation. Both models have a protective ceramic coating on their displays. Visually, they also have the same dimensions, as the displays of both smartphones have a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display. However, the Pro version supports ProMotion technology with a 120-hertz refresh rate, while the standard thirteen models support up to 60 Hz. This means that on the professional model, the display is smoother and more responsive when scrolling, playing games, and other more dynamic applications. The standard model weighs 174 grams and has aluminum alloy side moldings, while the pro model is slightly heavier at 204 grams and has steel moldings.

• Camera

More visible and significant differences can be found in the rear cameras of the two models. Thirteen has two cameras with a resolution of twelve megapixels, and they are ultrawide and a wide cameras. The higher-end Pro model has a triple camera system with a 12MP ultra-wide camera, a 12MP wide camera, and a 12MP telephoto camera.

In addition to the secondary camera, the Pro model also has a LiDAR scanner that can help with augmented reality (AR) applications and improve autofocus in low light. The Pro model also has a larger image sensor on the ultra-wide and wide cameras, which should result in better image quality in low-light situations.

• Performance and battery life

Both models are powered by the A15 Bionic chip, but the Pro version is slightly improved with more graphics cores. This chipset is one of Apple's most powerful. The A15 processor should provide excellent performance and speed for both everyday use and intensive tasks such as gaming and video editing.

The battery life of the two models is also similar, with the iPhone 13 offering up to 19 hours of talk time and the iPhone 13 Pro offers up to 22 hours of talk time. Both models support fast charging up to 20W, which significantly speeds up charging.

• Storage memory

Both models are available with 128 GB, 256GB, and 512GB, but with the more professional model, we also have an option for 1TB. The standard iPhone 13 has 4GB of RAM, and the Pro has 6GB of RAM.

• Other functions

Both models support 5G connectivity, have Face ID for biometric authentication, and are water and dust resistant with IP68 standard. The Pro version also has a few extra features, such as a stainless steel frame (instead of aluminum) and ProRes video recording mode, which should provide better video quality for professionals.

• Conclusion

In summary, the iPhone 13 and its Pro version are similar in many ways, including design, display size, and battery life. However, the iPhone 13 Pro has a number of additional features that may make it worth the higher price for some users, such as the ProMotion display, an additional camera, a LiDAR scanner, and a stainless steel frame. If these features aren't important to you, the standard iPhone 13 might be the better option for you.
