It’s not that easy to switch this effect on the fly, as you have to tap a setting and then select the style you want, but I like that you can customize your own styles.

For example, the rich contrast mode made the shot look less hazy, while the vibrant setting made the coleus plants pop more along with the tree in the background. I tried out the feature with a series of portraits, and I appreciated the difference between styles. This Super Retina XDR display is now 28% brighter than the iPhone 12 it’s also rated at 800 nits, compared to 600 nits for last year’s phone. Brighter display easier to read in direct sunlightĪlas, the iPhone 13 doesn’t boast the adaptive 120Hz refresh rate of the iPhone 13 Pro, but it’s still a stellar OLED panel.And I continue to appreciate the color-matched aluminum frame Apple includes with its entry-level iPhones. I tested the blue model, which is a fun shade without being too loud. The iPhone 13 comes in five colors, including Pink, Blue, Midnight, Starlight and (Product) Red. Apple has acknowledged the issue and says a fix is coming soon. I didn’t need a sensor in the display like many Android phones now support a Touch ID sensor embedded in the power button like on the iPad mini 6 would have been fine.įor now, it appears the iPhone 13 is having a problem unlocking with the Apple Watch in some cases. Unfortunately, the iPhone 13 doesn’t offer Touch ID, an upgrade many of us would have appreciated since Face ID doesn’t work well with masks. And you get the same IP68 water resistance as before. Otherwise, the iPhone 13 offers the same tough CeramicShield display up front, durable glass back and flat edges. First, the cameras on the rear are now arranged diagonally instead of vertically. There’s really two design changes of note for the iPhone 13. Smaller notch makes display a bit more immersive.
