Apple iPhone 13 Pro Specifications, Tests and Review

Design of Apple iPhone 13 Pro has dimensions of 146.7 mm × 71.5 mm × 7.65 mm and weight of 203 g. The water resistance of the phone´s design is also worth mentioning.

The screen size reaches 6.1" inches. With a large display, phone offers a great experience for watching videos, playing games and reading. The best phones today are 6.5'' or more. They have the advantage of a large display area that allows you to see more content than with conventional display sizes. Owing to OLED technology, the display offers a true representation of colours, especially black. The resulting contrast is significantly higher and colours appear more vivid. OLED technology is now part of most smartphones, while LCD displays are becoming a thing of the past in mobile phones. OLED displays also have lower power consumption compared to LCD technology.

Display Resolution of Apple iPhone 13 Pro is 2532 x 1170 pixels. A higher display resolution is a prerequisite for a sharper image. The standard for mid-range phones today is a Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 px. Cheaper phones, which usually have a smaller diagonal, have an HD resolution of 1280 × 720 px. Smaller resolutions can only be found in older models. Best phones, on the other hand, have a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 px. If you want a perfect picture, focus on pixel density in addition to resolution. This number indicates how sharp the image will be. Best phones today have a display fineness of 450 ppi or higher, but the today´s average is around 350-400 ppi. That should be enough for you to enjoy a fine and sharp image. This model has a pixel density of 460 ppi.

The refresh rate is 120 Hz. This value indicates how many times per second display shows new information. Previously, 60 Hz was considered the standard, but today the average frequency for mid-range phones is more like 90 Hz. Modern phones now reach frequencies of around 120 Hz and above. Higher frequencies mean a better user experience when browsing the internet and especially when playing games.

The processor type of the Apple iPhone 13 Pro is Apple A15 Bionic. The number of processor cores is 6. It is a number of cores that plays an important role in evaluating the performance of phone as it is responsible for computing operations. Smartphones already commonly have a core count of around 4 to 8. Multi-core processors can perform better and reduce the processing time of a request to a minimum, which is reflected in the responsiveness of the phone, e.g. in the speed of opening applications.

The phone is provided with an internal memory of 128 GB. Internal storage capacity is often a key parameter, as it determines how many files, photos, apps and more your phone can store. If you expect to store low thousands of photos, some songs, few movies or games on your phone, then you can easily get by with a medium memory size. Phones with this size of memory also has the advantage of a lower purchase price. If you don't plan to use your phone for 4K video creation and storage, using hundreds of apps etc. then you should feel free to go with this memory size. Fortunately, manufacturers nowadays think of all users and therefore offer phone models with different memory sizes so that everyone can choose what suits them.

The rear camera of the Apple iPhone 13 Pro is equipped with 3 lenses. A larger number of lenses usually results in better quality photo, as each lens is designed differently: usually as a macro lens, telephoto lens or wide-angle lens. Macro lens is used for great close-ups, telephoto lens is designed for capturing objects in the distance as it often has an optical zoom, and wide-angle lens will take great landscape photos where you need a larger field of view. The main lens is designed as Wide-angle lens. A high resolution lens alone does not necessarily mean high quality photos. The main lens in this has a resolution of 12 Megapixel. However, if you are looking for perfect photos, in addition to resolution, don't forget to focus on at other parameters such as lens aperture or pixel size. Pixel size is 1.9 μm. Average value is typically around 0.8 μm to 1.8 μm on better mobile phones, and again, the higher the number, the higher the photo quality. Luminance is one of the main factors determining the quality of a photograph. Commonly today, this value ranges between F/1.8 and F/2.2. However, best photomobiles have an aperture of up to F/1.2. Value indicates how much light passes through the sensor and the lower it is, the better the quality of the photos. Main lens here is equipped with F/1.5.

Digital zoom in this case offers zooming up to 15x. Of course, the higher the lens value, the more distant object can be zoomed in. Nonetheless, the disadvantage of digital zoom is that the quality and sharpness of photo deteriorates when using it. You should also pay attention to optical zoom, as it is far more important than the digital zoom. Its main advantage is that image does not lose quality or sharpness as you zoom in. Optical zoom in this case is 6x. An undeniable advantage is the optical image stabilisation, which makes image significantly more stable without any loss in quality. Cheaper phone models are equipped with electronic stabilisation, which has a negative effect on the resulting image quality. If you like to take photos of people and portraits, you'll appreciate the facial recognition feature. The camera automatically detects face and focuses on it.

Second camera
The second lens of rear camera is designed as Ultra wide-angle lens. The field of view of second lens reaches 120 degree(s). The resolution reaches size of 12 Megapixel. Furthermore, aperture of second lens reaches size of F/1.8.

Third camera
The third lens is designed as Telephoto lens. The resolution of third lens is then 12 Megapixel. Finally, the lens also features a lens aperture of F/2.8.

Front camera
The front camera of phone Apple iPhone 13 Pro has one lens. This number of lenses is standard on most smartphones nowadays. The resolution of main lens reaches 12 Megapixel. Again, it should be noted that resolution is not the only factor affecting the quality of the front camera photo. The aperture of main lens is F/2.2.

A nice bonus here is the facial recognition function.

Many users will also welcome the wireless charging feature. Wireless charging keeps your phone from overheating and also protects the connector from wear and tear. On the other hand, it does cause some power loss. You'll also enjoy the fast charging function, which allows for faster power flow and thus up to several times faster charging of the phone.

Apple iPhone 13 Pro supports 5G. 4G connectivity is still common today, although the latest phones already have 5G connectivity. 3G connectivity is now more of a thing of past and can only be found on older models. The phone's operating system is iOS 15. Among other benefits It also includes payment technology Apple Pay.

The NFC function will please all fans of contactless mobile payments. In addition, you can also use function in the context of connectivity, for example, to unlock doors or load menus in restaurants. Bluetooth 5.0 makes it easy to connect your phone to other wireless devices such as headphones, speakers, TV or tablet and more. Apple iPhone 13 Pro is also equipped with UWB technology, a wireless communication technology that enables even faster transfer of larger amounts of data between devices. At the same time, it provides even better localization of mobile device, for example, if it is lost. UWB is said to be the emerging wireless technology of future, which should soon replace use of Bluetooth or NFC.
