Both iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini feature improved battery life as a result of Apple's A15 Bionic processor, more efficient components, a larger battery, and power optimization from a comprehensive integration of hardware and software. Apple's iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini have an all-day battery life that will astonish you. The new models offer up to two and a half extra hours of usage on a single charge, compared with the previous versions, according to Apple. Major battery life improvements come to both iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini, made possible by A15 Bionic, more efficient components, a larger battery, and power optimizations from a deep integration of hardware and software. iPhone 13 delivers incredible all-day battery life,4 offering up to two and a half more hours in a day than iPhone 12, and iPhone 13 mini provides up to an hour and a half more in a day than iPhone 12 mini.

iPhone's Most Advanced Dual-Camera System

iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini are the most significant advancements in camera design since the original iPhone. Improved hardware and computational photography enable stunning photographs and videos. The iPhone X's second camera, the wider Wide sensor with 1.7 µm pixels, has the biggest sensor ever in an iPhone dual-camera system and is capable of collecting 47 percent more light for less noise and brighter photos. Sensor-shift OIS — a technology introduced in iPhone 12 Pro Max and not found in any other smartphone — also comes to the Wide camera, even in the more compact iPhone 13 mini. It stabilizes the sensor instead of the lens so shots are more steady, while the custom-designed Ultra Wide camera with a new sensor captures images with more detail in the dark areas of photos and videos with less noise. Cinematic mode on iPhone records movies of people, pets, and things with a distinctive depth effect that adjusts focus automatically when triggered, allowing anyone to capture cinema-style moments even if they aren't a professional filmmaker. For creative control, the focus can be changed during and after capture, and users can also adjust the level of bokeh in the Photos app and iMovie for iOS, and coming soon to iMovie for macOS and Final Cut Pro, making the iPhone 13 lineup the only devices able to edit the depth-of-field effect in video even after recording. Cinematic mode on the A15 Bionic records in Dolby Vision HDR, thanks to A15 Bionic and sophisticated machine learning algorithms. All cameras now support 4K up to 60 fps with HDR video recording with Dol by Vision — from capture to editing and sharing — for both models.

A15 Bionic: The Engine of iPhone 13

A faster Neural Engine in A15 Bionic, new image signal processor (ISP), and advancements in computational photography power all-new features on iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini. Photographic Styles allows users to bring their personal photo preferences to every image while still benefitting from Apple’s multiframe image processing. Preset and customized preferences work across scenes and subjects, and unlike a simple filter, intelligently apply the right adjustments to different parts of the photo to ensure the important elements, like skin tones, are preserved. The dual-camera system and power of computational photography support Smart HDR 4, now with improved color, contrast, and lighting for each subject in a group photo, including in challenging conditions, making images more true to life, as well as improved Night mode. And the TrueDepth camera supports all the amazing new camera features, including Cinematic mode, Photographic Styles, Smart HDR 4, and more. The A15 Bionic is quicker than other smartphones on the market, delivering more performance and greater power efficiency, creating everything even more fluid in the iPhone 13 series. It has nearly 15 billion transistors and is powered by 5-nanometer technology to tackle the most complex tasks, such as computational photography functions. A new 6-core CPU with two high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores is up to 50 percent faster than the competition, the fastest in any smartphone, and handles demanding tasks smoothly and efficiently, while the new 4-core GPU is up to 30 percent faster than the competition and enables more lifelike visuals and lighting effects in graphics-intensive games. The new 16-core Neural Engine is capable of 15.8 trillion operations per second, allowing third-party app experiences and features like Live Text in Camera with iOS 15 to run more quickly. The new dual-camera system is built on the foundation of major improvements to the next-generation ISP, which combines computational photography and powerful camera hardware

More Places to Experience 5G

The iPhone has always been a leader in delivering cutting-edge technology to consumers. The world is quickly shifting to 5G, and iPhones provide an advanced 5G experience, allowing users to connect, share, and enjoy content in new ways. The iPhone 13 family's more complex hardware architecture enables it to operate on more 5G bands for greater coverage and  performance. By the end of 2021, support for 5G on iPhone will double across the world, with over 200 carriers in 60 countries and regions. Users may enjoy higher-quality video streaming on their favorite platforms, more competitive gameplay in multiplayer games, faster download and upload speeds, and so much more. SharePlay7 will be able to provide powerful shared experiences like as watching HDR movies or TV shows in sync with pals over a FaceTime call when iOS 15 is released. Smart Data mode will intelligently save battery life by automatically moving the iPhone to LTE when 5G speeds aren't required.
