iPhone 13 Review // Best Camera System On Any Smartphone

[@mattih]

Which iPhone did you end up going for? Or are you passing on the iPhone 13?

[@muhammaddanialishak2139]

pass.

[@VinceOsido]

It will be nice if they have stock… 😥

[@marsdenphoto]

My 13 Pro has just turned up. The video is so good I’m returning my Osmo Pocket 2

[@WanderGuideTv]

Pass

[@georgekoshedzhiyski6529]

The pro max, upgrading from a standart 11. Matti, could you explain how does the prores work?

[@biohazard2030]

I’ve been using the 13 pro max for the past few days. First off this is my first NEW NEW iPhone. I upgraded from a 7 plus. So the camera upgrades for me and pretty much all the upgrades over all are insane! Also the battery life on the Pro Max is AMAZING. I can go all day just on one charge. However if I were to go back and choose again. I would probably go with the normal size Pro instead of the Pro max. I thought since I already had a 7 plus that I would be used to the Max’s size plus I wanted the iPhone with the biggest and best battery life. However this generation’s iPhone maxs are huge! Almost feels like a mini iPad mini. I mean the screen size is great for watching content as well as light photo and video editing. However it just feels a little cumbersome to use. I still LOVE the Pro Max. It’s an amazing phone. But if apple continues making their Pros and Pro Maxs the same in terms of cameras and features. Then next time I upgrade it will probably just be the regular pro. Just to downsize a little bit. Otherwise if you want an iPhone with the absolute best battery life, the Pro Max is the way to go.

[@RiceCubeTech]

Yeah there’s a lot more screen even if the body is basically the same

[@zhenyapestun]

13mini display is like 7+ )))

[@timbatchldn]

I have had the 13 pro for 3 days and my mind is BLOWN! Stabilization, image quality, refresh rates - they all make a huge difference in my personal opinion! Great video mate!

[@erikwsince1981]

Already rocking the iPhone 13 Pro Max and loving it!! Battery life for daaaaayz!! Not to mention the best display and cameras ever. Nothing to even complain about. IMO is the best flagship phone Apple has ever created.

[@reivenvirgo4306]

Isn't it too large? Are there any inconveniences connected with the size? I'm trying to choose between Pro and Pro Max. On the one hand, I'd like to conveniently edit photos and videos and to watch KZbin on my phone; on the other hand, I'm afraid it will be too big and heavy to conveniently shoot something, or hold it against my ear, and also impossible to put in a pocket. Please help me)

[@patdavidmusic]

I love your videos matti but something is still off with the iPhone skin tones in these videos, it’s like this orange effect, is it just me? I’m watching on an iPhone 12 Pro

[@emeraldangelle]

yes no one has mentioned this!! I get that ALOT on my 12 mini

[@josh3326]

Lots of orange, and some skin smoothing. I stopped filming on the 12 and 13 Pro for this reason. It’s a little better on the 13, but not by much.

[@emeraldangelle]

I actually went BACK to my 8 plus, I know some people may think its a downgrade but for some reason to me photos seem more real, more color accurate. at one point my kids looked like they had fake tans😂 also my 12 pro max and 12 mini would dim the display everytime the phones got hot or were being charged. I dont have that issue with my older phone anymore

[@g30_Zo]

Turn off your True Tone setting on the iPhone

[@ATLDRUMACADEMY]

Gonna film our drumline and see how it comes out . Thanks for this !!

[@yatinshukla]

How was it?

[@AceSkater27]

iPhone 13 mini is the under dog champ. Battery life of the 12 pro with the Camera System of the 12 Pro Max which was a phenomenal camera system. These cameras are gonna continue to be great for years to come and while the new Pro lineup is impressive and definitely an improvement it is not that much of an improvement to warrant having a brick in your pocket. Since rumors are going around that next year there wont be a mini I’m going to enjoy my 13 mini until greater significant improvements are made to the camera system… and then I’ll wait for the mini version of that ;-) Great video Matti, greetings from da Bronx!

[@PhiferFootball]

great video! What camera do you use to record with daily? Thanks!

[@stacypalmer1918]

I am a photographer in FL an I am most definitely getting the iPhone 13 pro max 1tarabit I am so supper exited. yes my DSLR is better in many ways, but like you said it is more convenient in most cases. The iPhone in general has been a handy tool for me in my workflow.

[@SarveshBheekhun]

Got the 13 Pro Max cause of the display and the cameras and holy moly are they good

[@toddfarrar5065]

I got the 13 pro, best decision I’ve made this year I think. Wide angels is absolutely amazing. I don’t always carry my DSLR with me so I went the pro simply to have the best pocket sized camera I could have.

[@WilleyMedia]

Hey Matti! Just wanted to throw it out there, you forget to grade one of those first vlogging clips lol. Love your work man! Epic FPV shots

[@christianholzweiiguberauto7490]

Insane drone flying. Enjoyed it very much. Well done!

[@themanfromgoteborg]

Great video. I love your style. But what’s going on at 11.20? The quality is not as good as the rest? Is that the lack of hdr that you talk about?

[@JamaalNoland]

Been looking for this follow up video. Great work matti

[@nickdepuy7162]

I’m going with the pro max. I am well overdue for an update (currently sporting the X) and am picking up my KZbin channel again. My eyes are getting old and I hope the max will be easier to see.

[@OrbitShortz]

12:38 I think that´s beacuse if you film for instance in 30 fps in normal video the iphone is gonna be recording two videos. One underexposed and one overexposed and then combine them to make the hdr look but maybe it doesn´t do that in cinematic mode.

[@asif6816]

Bro you are great at photography and videography, don't make review of this kind of smartphone,I got boring watching particularly this video, instead make camera comparison in which you are too good, love you bro you make great content.

[@bontyjarron]

Matti what is the black rain jacket that you’re wearing in the outdoor shots? Looks sick 😎

[@rdpete]

Funny, Im going through the comments of the 2 related videos to see if anyone knows what it is ;) What phone?

[@HwL01]

Apple did mention on ios update they’ll allow user to choose whether macro is toggled. Just get the pro for you, better aperture, macro mode.

[@christianreano5093]

I did a camera test and film test on the 13 pro i am honestly astonished with the results, I had a lot of people question me on what type of camera I’m using. All my pictures are awesome!

[@StantonLuke]

Would be great to see a editing work flow video on the iPhone 13 (Pro Max) - lumafusion etc??

[@suitcasejunkies8719]

Hi Matti. For me personally I'm getting the the Pro Max simply because of the larger screen for recording and I"m 6'5", so I have fairly large hands.

[@onepiecebarca]

Man went back to his home country and he's living the dream. Can't help but smile and be happy for him

[@Dentlesstouch]

Nice clear glasses! Where are they from

[@chriskeczkemethy372]

Loving that hooded rain jacket. Who makes it?

[@iamjoeblack]

Do you color graded the iPhone footage ot just dropped⁉️

[@martinf9626]

I have a old iPhone 7 plus, and it's almost the same size of the 13 Pro Max , so for the improvement of the new 13 Pro Max camera. I ordered it. And yes I'm trying to sell my old canon t7I because of that . A phone in my pockets or a suitcase filled with all the equipment !

[@stephenourada3217]

My wife and I ordered the Pro Max. Excited to check out the cameras in TWO weeks when they ship. Upgrading from the 8 plus.

[@fearlesscreativityfilms]

Does it shoot raw? For colour grade?

[@DannyPlass]

Under certain conditions, these cameras make your skin look like a flat orange canvas. Maybe with filmic pro this wouldn’t happen? Other than that being able to have such high quality video in a completely autonomous device, without the bulk of the device or the operator, it just opens a whole new world of resources and possibilities.

[@davidditzler2704]

Or "Under MOST conditions, these cameras make your skin look like a flat orange canvas"

[@Kshitijj]

@@davidditzler2704 Are we talking about the 13s or the iphone in general?

[@christinecamley]

I can see the orange. That is a definite issue.

[@rafalgelzok]

@@christinecamley you can do color correction in your phone with native app ;) See Parker Welbeck video.

[@christinecamley]

@@rafalgelzok Thank you for this!! I appreciate it!

[@qurantilawahhd4923]

Finally someone said it. Cinematic mode definitely has less hdr

[@NicholasTrager]

I definitely need a video on how you mounted the iPhone 13 Pro Max to the DJI FPV drone. I did a double take at the beginning of the video. I'm always looking for new ways to mount my smartphone on various things.

[@JHawk]

Really good thoughts! I went with the Pro Max and loving it

[@ricaralvarezrc7]

What do you think about the Google pixel 6 pro??

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

You could probably create a *really* successful KZbin channel with the quality output that the iPhone 13 gives you, it's crazy! 👀

[@robertosanchez879]

I think the macro can help digital artists to photograph more textures either for 2d or 3d animation

[@JimmyGunawanX]

My feeling is that the 120 Hz will translate to the Apple AR Glass at some point, less laggy for displaying animation. The 13 Pro feels super solid especially the wide and ultra wide, but cinematic bokeh blur with 3X zoom is impressive.

[@22th_era]

I actually upgraded from my iPhone 11 Pro Max to the 13 pro max and yes the cameras are amazing I choose the 13 mostly because I like having a big screen with me

[@DanniPortillo]

Go with the iPhone 13 Pro is the best option

[@cameraramblings4107]

So, I went for the 13 pro max 500gb, i upgraded from the xs max. I’m not dissapointed! the XS to 13 is worthy upgrade. if i had the 12 i wouldn’t have. Like you the battery and camera where the main reason as I’m upping my social game this year to promote my business.

[@BlueCysStudios]

I like the videos, gotta support Matti no matter what, but android is life.

[@federicomoretti3582]

Matti, why the first shot is not color graded? 🤨 hi from Italy, btw 😇

[@tumimanthata4991]

Interesting to know that the telephoto lens is your least used lens on the iPhone. For me, I use the telephoto lens as much as I use the wide lens. Ultrawide is my least used lens. I have the 11 Pro Max

[@clairelg3283]

Hi Matti, Please would you consider reviewing the Free Fly Wave Camera! It looks so cool and your reviews are always amazing.

[@MrGwizyadig]

My iPhone 13 Pro is being delivered today

[@SRowe_]

@Matti Haapoja Did you use your iPhone 13 Pro to record this whole video, or certain clips, or did you use all your usual pro equipment?…

[@msflaneuse4340]

Not sure if this was mentioned but you can turn off the Auto Macro. Bottom of the Camera settings on iPhone 13 Pro Max. ;)

[@Didodanto]

Your video and color grading are so amazing and beautiful

[@SoCS]

What about the audio?

[@msstory2661]

Love your content matti…really inspires me to be a KZbinr

[@gauravsharma2484]

Will wait next year iphone 14

[@PatrickCampi]

Matti Love your Vids! I just upgraded to the 13 Pro 512 GB. and these Vids are super helpful. STYLE QUESTION...!! What is the brand of the Rain Slicker your wearing?? I Need That!!

[@americofebbraio3380]

Gr8 video !!! Please let us know which one you will chose between the mini and pro

[@ericklindberg8377]

I got the 13 pro. Big fan of the display and the cameras are nice too. Way better battery life than my 12 pro. Been using it almost a week now

[@ericklindberg8377]

@Tweed Penguin even compared to when the 12 pro was brand new

[@kimwood3980]

go with the pro!!! I'm going for the max. :)

[@SvenKolb]

@matti - you actually can prohibit it from switching by going into the camera settings and check the ‚camera lock‘ box :-)

[@stefankolosko5824]

Hi matti, I’m very exited to hear for what iPhone 13 you decided. iPhone 13mini or 13pro. Greetings from Germany

[@vasiliskarkalas]

I was wondering, should I update from 12 Pro Max to 13 Pro Max? Or should I wait for the 14?

[@ehoenig]

I got the Pro Max because I love big screens; have it since 3 days and the cameras are awesome. When taking night pictures you can even see the stars ✨ 😱

[@sindrekdn]

It makes sense that there aren't HDR in the cinematic mode. That's because the iPhone need to record 60 fps for HDR 30 fps to work. Half of them are exposed normal and the second half is under exposed

[@zohair-lab]

Since the iPhone 13 is out, it’s time to save up for an iPhone X 😂

[@contethomas468]

Hi! The 13 pro max for the reasons you showed. So I’m glad I did this choice. Thank you Mr Haapoja✌🏻

[@yahirnieto]

6:55 great example of the automatic switching xd

[@VladKov]

Very very nice overview of new iPhones, great job guys!

[@robwoolley]

If you check the models out in person the Pro's camera and video is way superior to the the mini and 13. Shame they are so much more expensive.

[@Diveshiscool]

I love you matti. Love from india😍

[@Almaalairedron]

I love your videos, they are amazing and have a fantastic aesthetic!

[@velanche]

I am seriously considering selling off my Sony ZV-1 and just go with the camera on the 13 Pro as my primary for KZbin and vlogging; I agree that wow, the cameras have improved markedly, and the convenience of having the one camera that’s always with you makes it that much more compelling. My only concern is transferring the footage from the camera to my devices, since, well, Lightning as opposed to USB-C. Decisions, decisions. Thanks for this!

[@hevinnelson2741]

🤣

[@jaddkay1]

They didn’t do anything about the lens flare in low light.

[@eleven16media86]

Is there a difference between the cameras on the Pro vs. Pro Max?

[@SasankMusic]

Before 500 views🥳🥳🥳

[@markshirley01]

Matti - remember there maybe a few firmware updates on cinematic mode - I guess at least for 6 months on to keep sales up.

[@pbsnoosk13]

Great info! Thank you!!!

[@scottkint]

Ordered the 13 promax 1 TB, I like the big screen and the better camera and more storage.

[@reivenvirgo4306]

Please help me)

[@scottkint]

@@reivenvirgo4306 All very good questions. It is somewhat personal in terms of what will work best for you. It is a bigger phone and that could be an issue for some. For me I like the bigger phone and find it very useful to have a bigger screen when I’m editing and doing different things. Including watching KZbin. I pretty much do everything on my phone or my iPad but I always have my phone with me so mostly my phone. It is heavier than my iPhone 11 promax was but I’m already used to it. And I think that the battery is larger on the iPhone max if I’m not mistaken. Overall I’m very pleased with the iphone ProMax. Not too big for me. Fits right in my jeans pocket or my coat pocket. It might be big for people who have small hands. I would recommend going to whatever carrier you use and see what it feels like in your hand. Hope this helps.

[@beenac2473]

Matti can u try the vivo x70 pro plus it has better camera than the iphone 13 pro max wayy better in low light

[@soumyamarhual1408]

If I want to shoot regular, simple vlogs for KZbin, do you recommend the pro or mini for long term usage? I love the form factor of mini. What storage do you recommend? Thank you and keep up the good work ❤❤

[@jasonharryphotog]

Think I will sit this out and wait for the iPhone. 14

[@dblissmn]

Apple made a silly mistake on these with the telephoto camera. It would have been much more useful in the 50 to 60mm equivalent range with a wider aperture.

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

I’m going with the mini

[@metaversebuilding6188]

I’ve been wondering whether or not to upgrade my iPhone 12 to 13. I think this tips the scale in favor of upgrading! Thanks Matt!

[@john26razor340]

I was thinking about upgrading 12 pro max to 13 pro max, probably won't though... cinematic mode looks like a gimmick and cameras don't look that much better. Don't use ultra wide that often.

[@metaversebuilding6188]

@@john26razor340 I’d be going from the 12 to the 13 Pro. I like rack focus, as then I wouldn’t need a 3rd party camera app. As well, the closer focus is awesome for macros and I take macro shots a lot. I’d take macro videography as well, like shots of birds/bugs close up. The better zoom would help because my 12 only has normal zoom. 3x Optical Zoom would be nice.

[@JohnDennery]

The new cameras look great, certainly usable for KZbin and Instagram. BUT it would be WAY cooler if they added a mic input to the new phones. Having the ability to attach a mic while charging with a battery pack would make this a content creation powerhouse! And I still want a headphone port so I don't have to worry about keeping my headphones charged. I feel like Apple focuses on features and never on user experience. But I'm still rocking an iPhone 7 so this might be time to upgrade

[@Kristof_InsertRandomText]

[@apothekerjan]

Switched to One plus pro 9+. Almost as great as your videos.

[@aninwaloda6759]

Quality content as always , from u Matti 💖💖

[@COFAKE-]

Hi, do you think we can use this same type of technology as chroma key? I mean, without the need of a green screen behind us, to key out subjects? I wonder why people don't talk about that. I mean, if you can blur the background, you can remove the background right? It would be awesome. you could shoot video everywhere, outdoors, and still knowing you can remove the background, without the need of a large empty space, painted in green, just for that. It would be the end of green screen... thanks :)

[@MrSupervian]

if a next gen smartphone comes out with single lens camera with micro four thirds sensor size and thicker, absolutely amazing

[@AR9N9PERCEPT]

It could be the last mini and iPhone always perfects the tech in the next iteration, so maybe cinematic in 4K with HDR next version, personally the only reason for the rt now since I don’t play games on the phone would be the macro and the difference could actually almost pay for a macro lens which would be more handy in scenarios like you are doing a product shot or food photos

[@roccodigregorio776]

For non professional, dads, like myself I’ve sold my dslr years ago because of how good the cameras on mobile phones(iPhones) have got. Plus if I ever bring the dslr to family parties I end up being the “photographer”. 95% of these pics end up on social media with a bunch of filters anyhow. Instagram doesn’t care about photography anymore anyhow lol
