We all wonder how the new iPhone 13 series compare to its predecessor, and yeah – there are side-by-side comparisons, and you can check out Apple’s own phone compare tool (as well as our detailed comparisons) but it’s a completely different thing to see the difference in the real world.

The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max both feature an upgraded camera system, which as you can see, takes a lot of space. The main camera now packs a larger sensor with a 1.9µm pixel size, coupled with a much wider aperture – f/1.5. This combination promises exceptional low-light performance.
The ultra-wide camera has also been upgraded, Apple says that it captures 92% more light than the camera found on the iPhone 12 Pro Max, and this is partially thanks to the wider f/1.8 aperture again. Night mode is also present on the ultra-wide camera as well as on the telephoto lens.
There’s also a new Macro mode that allows the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max to take shots from as close as 2cm. Check out our detailed iPhone 13 series camera guide for more information.
There are no visual demonstrations involving the iPhone 13 and 13 mini at the moment, but the camera bump on those models is expected to have grown as well, to accommodate the sensor-shift image stabilization.
The iPhone 13 series got officially announced on September 14 with iPhone 13 pre-orders going live later today.
Our take
Kudos to Apple for trying to keep the design of the iPhone 12 series. It’s arguably one of the best (we did a poll on the topic, of course), and a close second to the iPhone 5/5S.
With the iPhone 13 Pro, though, things are starting to look a bit odd. The new camera bump measures roughly 38mm by 37mm, and as you can see from the back shots of the phone, it takes more than half of the phone’s width.
Another thing to point out is that the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13 actually got a slight redesign in the camera bump department. Apple said it had to put the two cameras diagonally to accommodate the new tech inside. Why not think out something like this for the iPhone 13 Pro?
