Apple Iphone 13 Pro

Apple is a leading brand in the tech market, with a persona that many others try to emulate; in large this is owed to Steve Jobs, one of the founders. Over the years Apple has done really well in the personal computer, music and smartphone market. The original iPhone changed how mobiles were perceived. There are a lot of later iterations with the iPhone 13 Pro one the many. The iPhones have consistently been in the top 3 devices all over the world.

Apple iPhone 13 Pro internals and OS

Loaded with the Apple A15 Bionic chipset that is a Hexa-core processor and was built using the 5nm method. It is an extremely powerful processor that can produce blistering speeds. This lets it handle all the tasks you can throw at it, from the latest games to high-end video. This device also features an Apple GPU with 5-core graphics.

Base storage is at 128GB, with the next option at 256GB, on to 512GB and then the 1TB option; which is a staggering amount of space for a smartphone. One cannot, however, make use of a storage card. But with these kinds of space options that might not be a concern. RAM is at 6GB, which Apple systems manage so well that one gets the maximum possible efficiency from it.

Built with iOS 15, the Apple iPhone 13 Pro has a bunch of new features. One of the most interesting is allowing FaceTime to connect to non-Apple devices. People from Apple devices can invite others to talk over video from Android and Windows devices. There are many Focus modes, so if you select one you will only get notifications relevant to that mode; this is a great way to shut off if one wants to get away from their device.

iOS 15 has also redesigned maps, messages and more. For instance, in maps, there is a 3D layer so one can tell what road is going up or down, this is a great help with overpasses. There is also the ability to use text from images to look it up, this feature is known as Live Text. Security updates have also been added in to keep your information safer. This OS is among the most smooth experiences possible on smartphones today.

This side can shoot video at 4K as well and lower resolutions, it has gyro-based stabilization so one can get good shots. Overall the cameras are great and are also top-notch in low-light situations. There are a host of other modes such as HDR and pano. 

Apple's display has always been a winner as well, in all their devices. The iPhone 13 Pro has a 6.1 inch display that is a Super Retina XDR OLED.
