In a nutshell: Today Apple announced the entire iPhone thirteen lineup. The two mainstream models include the iPhone xiii and the iPhone 13 mini, both phones come standard with 128GB of storage, which is double the capacity of the models they replace. The new non-pro iPhones add several features, including a new A15 Bionic scrap, a smaller front-facing sensor notch, a more avant-garde dual-camera array, and more.

Apple's standard iPhone lineup keeps the same apartment-edged pattern with just a couple of slight visual variations. The notch on the front-facing sensor array is a flake smaller—a 20-percent size reduction according to Apple tree'south calculations. The iPhone xiii has a dual camera on the rear, similar to its predecessor, only the lenses are prepare diagonally instead of being stacked. Other than that, the iPhone thirteen and iPhone 13 mini resemble last year's models with a six.1- and 5.4-inch display, respectively.

Within the device is where Apple made the most meaning changes, starting with new silicon. The iPhone thirteen is powered by Apple'south 5nm A15 Bionic. The A15 sports a half dozen-core CPU with two loftier-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores. With almost 15 billion transistors, Apple claims the A15 is up to 50 percent faster than its contest.

The A15 also houses a 4-core graphics processor that is thirty percent faster than any other smartphone. Graphic-intensive games should run smoothly, with "more lifelike visuals and lighting effects."

Topping off the A15 is Apple tree's 16-core Neural Engine, capable of fifteen.8 trillion operations per second. The neural engine is a processor dedicated to machine-learning applications. It volition handle iOS 15 features similar Live Text, which allows users to generate copyable text from photos. Information technology will too process ML workloads related to the new camera system, such as rack focus (more on that in a infinitesimal).

With the iPhone thirteen, Apple says it has its most advanced camera system always. It has combined newer hardware with computational photography to produce outstanding photos and videos. The new camera comes with sensor-shift OIS—a characteristic previously only offered in the iPhone 12 Pro Max. This technology stabilizes the sensor instead of the lens for sharper images and more steady video. The wide-angle camera's sensor, with larger ane.7 µm pixels, captures 47 percent more light to reduce image noise and produce brighter images in low light.

Another feature that Apple has introduced to the camera system is Cinematic mode. The A15 Bionic's Neural Engine tin can process video applying rack focus in real-fourth dimension. Rack focus is a technique used in cinematography that shifts the focus from the main subject to a secondary i.

Machine learning algorithms sense when the subject looks abroad from the camera causing focus to shift to something in the background. Users tin can also change information technology manually past tapping on the secondary bailiwick or double-tapping to lock on to information technology. In one case locked on, the iPhone will keep focus fifty-fifty if the person or object is moving. The characteristic tin even be applied or modified afterwards a video has been captured.

The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini both feature Apple's improved Super Retina XDR OLED display, which delivers higher contrast for true blacks. For regular content, the screen'southward acme outdoor brightness is 800 nits. For HDR photos and videos, the brandish outputs at 1200 nits.

The standard iPhone 13 has a 6.ane-inch brandish, while the mini is 5.iv inches. The near border-to-edge screens likewise have a smaller notch for the front sensor assortment. Apple says the cutout is 20-percent more compact while keeping the TrueDepth sensor for Face up ID. Both phones carry an IP68 rating for water resistance and sport a Ceramic Shield over the displays for actress drib protection.

Both the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 mini come equipped with 5G connectivity. Apple tree has five colour options to choose from, including pink, blue, midnight (black), starlight (white), and red. The phones get-go at $699 for the 128GB iPhone 13 mini and $799 for the 128GB iPhone thirteen. For extra, customers can increase storage to 256GB or 512GB.

Pre-orders for the iPhone 13 line kickoff this Friday, September 17. Shipments make it to customers and stores beginning i calendar week later, on September 24.
