[@ocallaghancolin94]

It takes 5 seconds to use your finger on the lens and realize that macro is from the wide angle lens, not the telephoto/zoom lens

[@pauoquindo8438]

great! i think this is the only review i've watched that i didnt feel like i'm being pushed to get the 13 pro. getting the 13 is a lot more practical than being set back 200$ more for 13pro features you might use just every now and then.

[@JV-sy4cq]

It's actually a $300.00 difference because pro res won't be available on the 128gb version of the 13 pro. So you need to spend $1,100.00 plus tax. That's more than 1/2 way to a 14" Macbook Pro M1. I carry two phones, ordered the 13 mini and Pro. Will be returning the Pro and ordering a regular 13, as the pro is also ridiculously heavy. The mini by the way has amazing low light photography. With both at hand most of the time, I prefer to reach for the mini and don't feel like I'm missing out on much quality wise. Also, when I go back and forth between phones, yes I can tell one has the 120 refresh rate but it's not what it's made out to be. Keep your $300 and put it towards the DJI mini 3 which is the reason why I'm keeping the 13 vs just two mini's, as it's just bit larger and easier to use with the DJI Fly app. Plus most of this ends up on social media, youtube etc.. Most don't even take the time to click on a higher resolution version of a video over the one that automatically plays or end up sending it via messaging apps that compress it anyway.

[@meppo6781]

Or just turn in your old iphone, I turn in my iphone xs max 64gb for 200$ and it is just like I am buying the 13, but I am actually getting the 13 pro.

[@inter3988]

wanna know something? iphone 13 pro 128 gb model is 540$ more expensive than the iphone 13, here in India

[@beastinfection638]

yeah but now you’re using a 60hz display, even though you paid like $800 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ That’s unacceptable

One of the best and detailed comparison I’ve ever seen because some I’ve watched they always implement the iphone 13pro but your video is the best when it comes in comparing the two phones. Keep it up. Rooting for the battery test between the Iphone 13 and Iphone 13pro. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙈

Great video , thank you for your efforts ! . I got the 13 Pro and so happy with it . for the camera , there is no big difference , i went with pro due to the 120Hz ! .

[@aktaranwarjan1672]

This video was SO well done! Thank you for the excellent insight! I can make a much more intentional and informed decision now.

[@gwenc1371]

Thank you for this video! I just got a 13 and while I've been loving the upgrade from a 7 I've honestly have been feeling some buyers remorse about not going for the Pro since the camera upgrade is the biggest part to me. I do really like up-close photography, and have been wondering how much more I'm than the macro I'm missing. But seeing how similar literally everything else is about the cameras despite the specs....plus remembering how absolutely massive the size of the bump on the Pro....it makes me feel much better about my purchase. Losing out on one niche feature just can't justify the cost...and the extra real-estate that can get damaged when I inevitably have an accident!

[@gontse2953]

Finally I've came across what I was looking for, great detailed video. You have helped me to make my buying decision.

what made me come to this was when i saw sportcenter upload a clip of a fan recording with a 13 and they were far away from the game and was really zoomed in and it had great quality. and it didn’t specify which 13 and i knew my 13 couldn’t do that

[@Hajbibi]

Thank you man that was helpful

[@grantmcdonald1047]

nice video, im really interested in photography and videography, but i’m just a beginner and i dont want to overpay when the 13’s camera might be good enough to get started

[@capulido1]

Very thorough review thank you

[@macmund]

Thank you for differentiating the pro and regular 13’s shooting capabilities. Especially if it just for take that special moment shot

[@askawinemaker]

Very useful - thank you! Hope to use the pro in some wine cellars with low light and the macro in vineyards, so your notes help.

[@aisha4375]

I love how honest ur opinion is, where you didn’t over shine the pro model like others.

[@noahvanes2546]

Nice comparison. One correction though: macro shots on the 13 pro series are not taken with the telephoto lens, but rather with the ultrawide one. If I understand correctly, the ultrawide on the pro series can do this because it has a better (auto)focus compared to the ultrawide on the regular 13. Also, ProRAW can be an important difference between both when it comes to photography.

[@gwenc1371]

Hmm...if it's true that the autofocus is the big differentiator between the two, I wonder if someday we might see upgrades to third party macro apps that try to utilize the ultrawide instead of just zooming in and using AI upscaling. Guess it'd depend on how much is Apple locking off elements of their built-in software for a "it just works!" experience vs actual hardware improvements.

I went with 13 due to they don’t sell pro anymore. The only thing is the camera zoom in very closely, glad to see the regular is not much difference basically the same. I don’t know how heavy it is I assume it’s similar to the 14 pro which I have held the phone weights a ton like a piece of metal 😅

[@AlfonsoMateos]

Thanks a lot for your review, I found it really practical, and as some other guys said, you don't push people to rush in and get the pro, you explained really well which are the pros and conns and who could be the target people that could take real benefit of the differences between them.

[@TechDaily]

No real reason to get the Pro tbh 😅

Great review Bro. I got the 13 and i'm very happy with that. I got the Huawei p30 pro before and really never use the makro or zoom mode, so it is irrelevant for me. The 120Hz are not worth the extra 300€. Greetings from Germany and sorry for my bad english

[@FlorenzPagulayan]

Which is better? IPhone 13 or Huawei p30 when it comes to camera? I'm planning to buy a new phone with a good camera quality but I don't know what to buy between the two.

[@pablo7610]

Same page here bud lol, on the xs and looking for an upgrade whether the 13 or the pro, but I am a really big camera fan and what I hate is that the 13 has 5x zoom but for xs is 10x zoom which is a bit degrading but I think it’s still good right

[@JViello]

I got my son the 13 and myself the 13 Pro because I tend to do much more with cameras. This is my first iphone, I've been an Android fanboy for...13, 14 years? I've always purchased and adored the LG V phones for the manual camera settings. Now that LG is out of the game the trusty V60 has been traded. Bittersweet! Having fun with the 13! With the Pro I have noticed over the standard 13 that there are subtle differences. You noted a lot of them in this video and I notice the similar differences I see in our phones in your video as well. The Pro tends to stay focused and produce a more detailed photo much more often. The way it processes light and images is just..."better". For me it's enough to make the difference. For my teenaged son? Nope! LOL He THINKS he needs it but really he just wants to "flex" the Pro around his friends. For anyone who enjoys photography - both looking at the photos and taking them I think they will notice a sizable difference. Thanks for the video, nice job!

[@PTYC933]

The pros does come with pro codecs pro res pro raw. Pro res is very nice, very subdued, pro raw is very flexible. But there is also filmic pro with 10bit log, which graded looks about as good as a cinema camera, in colour tones, no substitute for pro raw, there is regular raw in procam, unless you’re doing astro, seldom touch regular raw. Seeing the regular 13 doing okay in 2x or 3x photos is enough for regular use.

[@markthompson1439]

Hey @TankQ, I was hoping if you could help me. I plan to start making youtube videos, mostly vlogging my uni journey, travels and a few videos detailing the city I'm going to move to. I have no experience with editing videos before. Would you say I should go for 13pro and learn how to work with ProRes / ProRaw etc, or a normal video from the 13's camera would suffice?

[@PTYC933]

@@markthompson1439 oh I believe you asked the wrong guy. I’m not exactly an expert but from youtube creators I gather that they avoid pro res on iPhone as 1) storage use is big and very long to transfer over usb 2 speed. 2) maybe more work to grade or lut over. For those who do, they would use a spare iPhone, when they want the softer more natural colour roll off look and easier to work with prores. I assume default iPhone video gets you 70% there. The additional sharpness and contrast makes it less than cinema camera looking but the default dolby vision format is quite decent. iPhone 24 fps is kinda jerky, or may need nd filters to tone down the shutter speed outdoors. When taking dolby vision and editing externally might need a hdr capable screen to make sure the highlights does not get tone mapped. Also when uploading might have to check on the website for what hdr format they take. Can look at andy to video on how he edits phone videos.

[@Natan9000]

The macro shots are made with the ultra wide lens. So it’s not the telephoto lens which make it possible 😋

[@AndrewGiddingsWA]

Great balanced comparison! I went with the pro, but I’m reconsidering now. The order hasn’t started processing yet. Hmmmm.

[@AndrewGiddingsWA]

@Itz Drew I did end up with the pro. My wife has the 13. I like the way hers feels better as it is more balanced. It’s a fantastic phone though, albeit a bit heavy.

[@AndrewGiddingsWA]

@Itz Drew I have no idea. It depends on your use case. I would have been fine with the 13, but had already bought a case, a skin, and a screen protector for the pro I’d ordered, so I stuck with it. I like the telephoto lens, but I’m not sure I’m one of the people who really sees the promotion difference. The 13 is an awesome phone. If you aren’t sure, I’d save my money and still upgrade my storage on a 13.
