OLED display "Super Retina XDR display" that adopts "ProMotion technology" that supports variable refresh rate from 10Hz to 120Hz is installed for the first time in iPhone. The maximum brightness is 1,000nit as standard and up to 1,200nit. It has a contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1 and supports a wide color gamut (P3).

The display supports a 120Hz refresh rate

The display size and resolution are 6.1 inch / 2,532 x 1,170 dots (460ppi) for 13 Pro and 6.7 inch / 2,778 x 1,284 dots (458ppi) for 13 Pro Max. It also has True Tone and haptic touch.

The display glass uses a strong Ceramic Shield. The front TrueDepth camera is 20% smaller. The TrueDepth camera has 12 million pixels and an f value of 2.2. Biometric Face ID is available.

The camera has a telephoto, wide-angle, and ultra-wide-angle 3-lens configuration, and the ultra-wide-angle camera allows macro shooting. With eyes, both are 12 million pixels. The 35mm equivalent focal length is 77mm for telephoto, 26mm for wide angle, and 13mm for super wide angle. The ultra-wide-angle lens has a viewing angle of 120 degrees and supports macro photography. The entire system has an optical zoom range of up to 6x and supports up to 15x digital zoom. Telephoto and wide-angle lenses support dual optical image stabilization, and wide-angle lenses support sensor-shift optical image stabilization.

The wide-angle lens has enhanced low-light performance The wide-angle lens boasts the largest sensor size in iPhone history

The wide-angle lens has a 1.9µm pixel sensor, up to 2.2 times larger than the iPhone 12 Pro and larger than the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Up to 1.5 times at , shooting in dark places is enhanced. The sensor size is said to be "the largest in iPhone history".

In photography, the photography style of "adding your personality to the photo" is now available. The feature is not a filter, it only adjusts the appropriate areas. You can enhance or suppress colors while maintaining skin tones. Choose "Vivid" for bright, lively photos, and "Rich Contrast" for deeper shadows and colors. can take pictures of

Equipped with the newly developed "A15 Bionic" chip. A 6-core design with 2 high-performance cores and 4 high-efficiency cores, the GPU has 5 cores, and the Neural Engine has 16 cores. The GPU performance is said to be up to 50% faster than other smartphones.

Example of "Smart HDR 4"

"Smart HDR 4" and "Cinematic Mode" are now available with the Neural Engine, which can perform up to 15.8 trillion operations per second. Smart HDR 4 adjusts multiple people in a shot scene. Software and ISP fine tune contrast, brightness and skin tone for each person. "Deep Fusion" that analyzes multiple exposures pixel by pixel is also available.

Cinematic mode can be used when shooting video with the wide-angle, telephoto, and front TrueDepth cameras, and it enables movie-like "focus forwarding". When shooting video, it is possible to shoot with a shallow depth of field, predict when a conspicuous subject is likely to enter the frame, and focus at the moment it enters the frame.

"Focus feed" is said to be the work of a team of experts in Hollywood shooting, but the iPhone uses the Neural Engine. The object to be focused on is determined on a case-by-case basis, and the focus is switched smoothly when the object changes.

You can also adjust the depth effect after shooting using the Photos app, iMovie app, the upcoming update of iMovie for macOS, and Final Cut Pro. You can also shoot in Dolby Vision HDR in cinematic mode.

In addition to Dolby Vision HDR shooting at a maximum of 4K/30fps for video shooting, it will also support shooting with ProRes in the future. ProRes can shoot up to 4K/30fps video. However, up to 1,080p/30fps for the 128GB model. Camera shake correction that claims to be movie level and 1,080p slow motion shooting at 120/240fps are also possible.

Supports 5G and supports more frequency bands. You can experience "5G speeds in more places," he said. The SIM card is dual SIM (nano-SIM and eSIM), and it also supports dual eSIM. In addition to Softbank, au, and Docomo, Rakuten Mobile was also named as a Japanese telecommunications carrier.

The front TrueDepth camera is 20% smaller

The exterior is medical-grade stainless steel, the back is textured matte glass, and IP68 waterproof and dustproof. Despite the powerful A15 Bionic chip and high-performance display, the battery life is up to 1.5 hours longer than the previous model for the 13 Pro and up to 2.5 hours longer for the 13 Pro Max. Video playback time is up to 22 hours on the 13 Pro and up to 28 hours on the 13 Pro Max. Up to 75 hours and 95 hours of audio playback respectively.

The charging port is Lightning and compatible with MagSafe. MagSafe wireless charging up to 15W and Qi standard wireless charging up to 7.5W are also available. It also has a barometer, 3-axis gyro, accelerometer, proximity sensor, and ambient light sensor.

The external dimensions and weight of the 13 Pro are 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.65 mm (length x width x thickness) and 203 g. 13 Pro Max is 160.8 x 78.1 x 7.65mm (length x width x thickness), 238g. A USB-C to Lightning cable is included, but an AC adapter is not included.
