Both offer a number of high-end features, like the ability to record ProRes videos, which help them live up to the Pro in their names. Overall the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max are outstanding, which is why we've given them a CNET Editors' Choice Award. Our original review, first published in September, follows.\nThe iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max mark the third year in a row that Apple released two Pro models. The phones have the same price as last year's\n12 Pro and 12 Pro Max\n, and are loaded with updated cameras, a larger battery and an A15 Bionic chip. By packing the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max with features many of us have wanted for years, including a display with a high refresh rate, Apple further defined the difference between its Pro and non-Pro phones. Three years ago, by comparison, the word Pro seemed more of a marketing term than an indication that the phone was any more professional than a regular iPhone.\nThe 13 Pro is an important signal that there isn't just one iPhone that works for everyone. Unlike last year, both phones now have the same camera array and only vary in terms of size, battery life and price.\nThe iPhone 13 Pro starts at $999 (£949, AU$1,699) and the 13 Pro Max at $1,099 (£1,049, AU$1,849) for 128GB of storage. For the first time, you have the option to get 1TB of storage on an iPhone. The extra storage pushes the price of a 13 Pro to $1,499 (£1,449, AU$2,569) and the 13 Pro Max to $1,599 (£1,549, AU$2,719). That's a lot of storage... and a lot of money.\nThe iPhone 13 Pro comes in a new Sierra blue finish.\nPatrick Holland\/CNET\nThe iPhone 13 Pro gets beefier\nThe phones have the same squared off look as the 12 series. The stainless steel sides are glossy and the back has one of four matte finishes: graphite, gold, silver or Sierra blue. In some lighting, the Sierra blue iPhone reads as light gray and in other lighting it looks like the Carolina blue of the UNC Tarheels.\nThe notch is 20% smaller. It's not as wide, but there's still a notch. It's fair to say that it annoys me 20% less.\nBoth phones are thicker and weigh more. The 13 Pro gains 15 grams and the 13 Pro Max packs on an additional 12 grams. I noticed the extra weight more when I used the 13 Pro. Both phones have Apple's Ceramic Shield on the front and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.\nProMotion on the iPhone 13 Pro is stellar\nThe 13 Pro has a 6.1-inch screen and the 13 Pro Max a 6.7-inch one. In everyday use, the screens are noticeably brighter. The displays have what Apple calls ProMotion, meaning the iPhone, for the first time ever, supports a high refresh rate. Depending on what's being shown on the screen, the refresh rate switches between 10 and 120Hz. This is a similar approach Samsung took with the\nGalaxy S21 Ultra\n. In use, the screen looks stellar. Animations look smooth, graphics crisp and even mundane things like scrolling feeds look better.\niPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max: See Apple's biggest mobile flex this year\nSee all photos\nThe iPhone 13 Pro has a longer telephoto camera\nThe main camera has a new sensor, the largest ever put into an iPhone. It has a faster f1.5 aperture lens, which equates to improved light gathering. The ultrawide has a new auto focus sensor and lens that also improves light gathering. And last, the telephoto camera gets a new sensor and lens with a longer 3x optical zoom.\nUsing the Pro iPhones did result in brighter photos, but the improvement wasn't always obvious. I also noticed that photos had fast shutter speeds, which resulted in freezing action better, like when I took a shot of people riding bikes.\nTake a look at photos I took with both phones in the gallery below.\niPhone 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max camera testing: Photos from Apple's highest end 2021 phones\nSee all photos\nAlso taking a Night mode photo was faster and works with the 3x telephoto camera. The iPhone 11 and 12 series had a peculiar quirk where the camera reflected light sources. On the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max, that quirk is still there, especially if there are string lights in your shot, but overall it's better.\nThe iPhone 13 Pro cameras bring you even closer to your subject\nThe 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max have a new macro mode, which triggers automatically when you get within a few centimeters of your subject. To test the cameras and Macro function, I took the iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 to the Feast of the Field, part of the yearly Euphoria food event in Greenville, South Carolina. This made for a tasty camera test.\nThe way macro photography works is that as you get closer to your subject, the camera automatically switches from the wide camera to ultrawide. Now that the ultrawide has autofocus, it can lock focus on something that's just a couple of centimeters away.\nThe only thing smaller than this serving size was the distance between my iPhone's camera and the caviar.\nPatrick Holland\/CNET\nIn bright and medium lighting, I found macro photography on the iPhone solid. It's not on the level of a mirrorless camera with dedicated macro lens but it's one of the better implementations of a macro mode that I've seen on a phone. I took solid close-up photos of food, coffee and even recorded a nightmare video clip of ants crawling all over a discarded grapefruit.\nAt the main dinner for the event, I learned two things: The first is that gooseberries are delicious. And the next is that in low lighting, the iPhone still switches to the ultrawide camera to take a macro photo. The best camera on the phone is the wide-angle camera, which can also handle low-light situations well. And because the phone has to be so close to its subject, it actually blocks some of the light, resulting in mediocre close-ups. At this time, there isn't a way to turn off the macro functionality. Apple says that a new setting will be added in a software update this fall, so you'll be able to turn off automatic camera switching when shooting at close distances for macro photography and video.\nI'm all about Cinematic mode on the iPhone 13 Pro\nAll of the iPhones 13 get a new feature called Cinematic mode. It uses the rear cameras or the True Depth camera array to create a 1080p video at 30 frames per second. What makes the video compelling is that everything but your subject is out of focus. The iPhone can even execute a rack focus from one subject to another. The effect is dramatic and impressive. \nLike Portrait mode for photos, the feature allows you to change the depth of field. What's great is the phone can do everything, including choosing who's in focus and when to change focus. During the recording, you can tap and manually change the focus points and aperture yourself. Or you can do all of that after the fact.\nCinematic mode is a blast to use.\nSarah Tew\/CNET\nAre Cinematic videos perfect? No, but it's a blast to use and experiment with. Cinematic mode needs a good amount of light to work best. If conditions are too dark, you'll get a pop-up prompting you to turn your flash on.\nAlso, I noticed that fast-moving nonhuman subjects, such as water being poured out of a spout or a shot of espresso being brewed, were hard for Cinematic mode to keep in focus. And when editing a Cinematic mode video, the controls for the focus keyframes are tiny. You can long-press to expand them, but as soon as you let go, it goes back to being small.\nDon't expect Cinematic mode to be your go-to for consistently good-looking videos. It's a fun-feature but regular video looks better in a majority of situations.\nNot all A15 Bionic power is the same\nPowering everything is Apple's new A15 Bionic chip. The GPU on the Pro models has five cores instead of four on the 13 and 13 Mini. During my time testing the phones, it didn't have any trouble handling gaming, editing photos or having a bunch of apps open at the same time. Check out the benchmark test results below.\nGEEKBENCH V.5.0 SINGLE-CORE\niPhone 13 Pro\n1,741\niPhone 13 Pro Max\n1,741\niPhone 13\n1,721\niPhone 12\n1,598\nNote:\nLonger bars indicate better performance\nGEEKBENCH V.5.0 MULTICORE\niPhone 13 Pro\n4,771\niPhone 13 Pro Max\n4,856\niPhone 13\n4,681\niPhone 12 Pro Max\n4,137\nNote:\nLonger bars indicate better performance\n3DMARK SLINGSHOT UNLIMITED\niPhone 13 Pro\n8,919\niPhone 13 Pro Max\n8,845\niPhone 13\n6,653\niPhone 12 Pro Max\n9,047\nNote:\nLonger bars indicate better performance\nThe iPhone 13 Pro Max has the longest battery life of any phone we tested\nBoth the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max have a larger battery. I didn't have any trouble getting through a day, even a hot and humid one where I captured a bunch of photos and videos. For me, the iPhone 13 Pro easily lasts a day on a single charge and the iPhone 13 Pro Max can go two days per charge. Both phones have longer battery lives last year's iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max.\nIn CNET's battery test in which we play a looped video on Airplane mode with the screen at half brightness, the iPhone 13 Pro lasted 22 hours, 2 minutes, and the iPhone 13 Pro Max lasted 31 hours, 19 minutes. The iPhone 13 Pro Max lasted longer than any phone CNET has ever tested. \nThe larger battery isn't the only reason for better battery performance. A big part of the improvement comes from the LTPO display that automatically adjusts the refresh rate. The iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max have a fixed 60Hz refresh-rate whereas the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max can drop down as low as 10Hz using less power.\nI've had all four iPhone 13 models for about five days, so there are some features I still need to test more to give you a true critique. Let's wrap up by talking about a few of those remaining questions.\niOS 15 on the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max is wonderful. It adds a bunch of features but doesn't mess with the status quo. I love Focus mode. If you want a more in-depth look at iOS 15, check out\nour iOS 15 review\n.\nAll of the iPhone 13 models get a new feature called Photographic styles, which lets you choose between standard, the default iPhone look, and four styles: Vibrant, Rich Contrast, Warm and Cool. Apple says these are more than just filters. Your phone analyzes the different parts of your subject to add the look you want without, for example, making someone's skin look overly orange. Apple does all this while you take the photo, and it's baked into the file.\nThese will be the first phones to support the Apple ProRes video codec. ProRes optimizes video files and is especially useful for people who color grade or use editing software such as Final Cut Pro X or Adobe Premiere Pro. ProRes video files have a lower amount of compression but take up a lot of room, which is why that 1TB storage tier is going to be important. Sadly, ProRes isn't available to test at this time and will be out later this year.\nI still have more in-depth testing to do on the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max and CNET's team will be doing its usual barrage of camera tests, drop tests and battery tests.

Both offer a number of high-end features, like the ability to record ProRes videos, which help them live up to the Pro in their names. Overall the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max are outstanding, which is why we've given them a CNET Editors' Choice Award. Our original review, first published in September, follows.\n***\nThe iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max mark the third year in a row that Apple released two Pro models. The phones have the same price as last year's [12 Pro and 12 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/mobile\/review-iphone-12-pro-max-deserves-a-spot-in-your-pocket-if-you-can-get-it-to-fit\/), and are loaded with updated cameras, a larger battery and an A15 Bionic chip. By packing the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max with features many of us have wanted for years, including a display with a high refresh rate, Apple further defined the difference between its Pro and non-Pro phones. Three years ago, by comparison, the word Pro seemed more of a marketing term than an indication that the phone was any more professional than a regular iPhone.\n\nThe 13 Pro is an important signal that there isn't just one iPhone that works for everyone. Unlike last year, both phones now have the same camera array and only vary in terms of size, battery life and price.\n\nThe iPhone 13 Pro starts at \\$999 (£949, AU\\$1,699) and the 13 Pro Max at \\$1,099 (£1,049, AU\\$1,849) for 128GB of storage. For the first time, you have the option to get 1TB of storage on an iPhone. The extra storage pushes the price of a 13 Pro to \\$1,499 (£1,449, AU\\$2,569) and the 13 Pro Max to \\$1,599 (£1,549, AU\\$2,719). That's a lot of storage... and a lot of money.\n\n![iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/images\/logos\/cnet_load.png)\n\nThe iPhone 13 Pro comes in a new Sierra blue finish.\n\nPatrick Holland\/CNET\n## The iPhone 13 Pro gets beefier\nThe phones have the same squared off look as the 12 series. The stainless steel sides are glossy and the back has one of four matte finishes: graphite, gold, silver or Sierra blue. In some lighting, the Sierra blue iPhone reads as light gray and in other lighting it looks like the Carolina blue of the UNC Tarheels.\n\nThe notch is 20% smaller. It's not as wide, but there's still a notch. It's fair to say that it annoys me 20% less.\n\nBoth phones are thicker and weigh more. The 13 Pro gains 15 grams and the 13 Pro Max packs on an additional 12 grams. I noticed the extra weight more when I used the 13 Pro. Both phones have Apple's Ceramic Shield on the front and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.\n\n## ProMotion on the iPhone 13 Pro is stellar\nThe 13 Pro has a 6.1-inch screen and the 13 Pro Max a 6.7-inch one. In everyday use, the screens are noticeably brighter. The displays have what Apple calls ProMotion, meaning the iPhone, for the first time ever, supports a high refresh rate. Depending on what's being shown on the screen, the refresh rate switches between 10 and 120Hz. This is a similar approach Samsung took with the [Galaxy S21 Ultra](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/mobile\/samsung-galaxy-s21-ultra-review-5g-phone-pretty-badass\/). In use, the screen looks stellar. Animations look smooth, graphics crisp and even mundane things like scrolling feeds look better.\n\n### iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max: See Apple's biggest mobile flex this year\n[![](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/images\/logos\/cnet_load.png)](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/pictures\/iphone-13-pro-and-iphone-13-pro-max\/)\n\n[![](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/images\/logos\/cnet_load.png)](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/pictures\/iphone-13-pro-and-iphone-13-pro-max\/)\n\n[![](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/images\/logos\/cnet_load.png) +83 More](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/pictures\/iphone-13-pro-and-iphone-13-pro-max\/)\n\n[See all photos](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/pictures\/iphone-13-pro-and-iphone-13-pro-max\/)\n## The iPhone 13 Pro has a longer telephoto camera\nThe main camera has a new sensor, the largest ever put into an iPhone. It has a faster f1.5 aperture lens, which equates to improved light gathering. The ultrawide has a new auto focus sensor and lens that also improves light gathering. And last, the telephoto camera gets a new sensor and lens with a longer 3x optical zoom.\n\nUsing the Pro iPhones did result in brighter photos, but the improvement wasn't always obvious. I also noticed that photos had fast shutter speeds, which resulted in freezing action better, like when I took a shot of people riding bikes.\n\nTake a look at photos I took with both phones in the gallery below.\n\n### iPhone 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max camera testing: Photos from Apple's highest end 2021 phones\n[![](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/images\/logos\/cnet_load.png)](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/pictures\/iphone-13-pro-13-pro-max-camera-testing-photos-from-apple-highest-end-2021-phones\/)\n\n[![](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/images\/logos\/cnet_load.png)](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/pictures\/iphone-13-pro-13-pro-max-camera-testing-photos-from-apple-highest-end-2021-phones\/)\n\n[![](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/images\/logos\/cnet_load.png) +63 More](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/pictures\/iphone-13-pro-13-pro-max-camera-testing-photos-from-apple-highest-end-2021-phones\/)\n\n[See all photos](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/pictures\/iphone-13-pro-13-pro-max-camera-testing-photos-from-apple-highest-end-2021-phones\/)\n\nAlso taking a Night mode photo was faster and works with the 3x telephoto camera. The iPhone 11 and 12 series had a peculiar quirk where the camera reflected light sources. On the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max, that quirk is still there, especially if there are string lights in your shot, but overall it's better.\n\n## The iPhone 13 Pro cameras bring you even closer to your subject\nThe 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max have a new macro mode, which triggers automatically when you get within a few centimeters of your subject. To test the cameras and Macro function, I took the iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 to the Feast of the Field, part of the yearly Euphoria food event in Greenville, South Carolina. This made for a tasty camera test.\n\nThe way macro photography works is that as you get closer to your subject, the camera automatically switches from the wide camera to ultrawide. Now that the ultrawide has autofocus, it can lock focus on something that's just a couple of centimeters away.\n\n![iPhone 13 Pro](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/images\/logos\/cnet_load.png)\n\nThe only thing smaller than this serving size was the distance between my iPhone's camera and the caviar.\n\nPatrick Holland\/CNET\n\nIn bright and medium lighting, I found macro photography on the iPhone solid. It's not on the level of a mirrorless camera with dedicated macro lens but it's one of the better implementations of a macro mode that I've seen on a phone. I took solid close-up photos of food, coffee and even recorded a nightmare video clip of ants crawling all over a discarded grapefruit.\n\nAt the main dinner for the event, I learned two things: The first is that gooseberries are delicious. And the next is that in low lighting, the iPhone still switches to the ultrawide camera to take a macro photo. The best camera on the phone is the wide-angle camera, which can also handle low-light situations well. And because the phone has to be so close to its subject, it actually blocks some of the light, resulting in mediocre close-ups. At this time, there isn't a way to turn off the macro functionality. Apple says that a new setting will be added in a software update this fall, so you'll be able to turn off automatic camera switching when shooting at close distances for macro photography and video.\n\n## I'm all about Cinematic mode on the iPhone 13 Pro\nAll of the iPhones 13 get a new feature called Cinematic mode. It uses the rear cameras or the True Depth camera array to create a 1080p video at 30 frames per second. What makes the video compelling is that everything but your subject is out of focus. The iPhone can even execute a rack focus from one subject to another. The effect is dramatic and impressive.\n\nLike Portrait mode for photos, the feature allows you to change the depth of field. What's great is the phone can do everything, including choosing who's in focus and when to change focus. During the recording, you can tap and manually change the focus points and aperture yourself. Or you can do all of that after the fact.\n\n![iPhone 13 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/images\/logos\/cnet_load.png)\n\nCinematic mode is a blast to use.\n\nSarah Tew\/CNET\n\nAre Cinematic videos perfect? No, but it's a blast to use and experiment with. Cinematic mode needs a good amount of light to work best. If conditions are too dark, you'll get a pop-up prompting you to turn your flash on.\n\nAlso, I noticed that fast-moving nonhuman subjects, such as water being poured out of a spout or a shot of espresso being brewed, were hard for Cinematic mode to keep in focus. And when editing a Cinematic mode video, the controls for the focus keyframes are tiny. You can long-press to expand them, but as soon as you let go, it goes back to being small.\n\nDon't expect Cinematic mode to be your go-to for consistently good-looking videos. It's a fun-feature but regular video looks better in a majority of situations.\n\n## Not all A15 Bionic power is the same\nPowering everything is Apple's new A15 Bionic chip. The GPU on the Pro models has five cores instead of four on the 13 and 13 Mini. During my time testing the phones, it didn't have any trouble handling gaming, editing photos or having a bunch of apps open at the same time. Check out the benchmark test results below.\n\n## GEEKBENCH V.5.0 SINGLE-CORE\niPhone 13 Pro  1,741iPhone 13 Pro Max  1,741iPhone 13  1,721iPhone 12  1,598\n\n**Note:** Longer bars indicate better performance\n\n## GEEKBENCH V.5.0 MULTICORE\niPhone 13 Pro  4,771iPhone 13 Pro Max  4,856iPhone 13  4,681iPhone 12 Pro Max  4,137\n\n**Note:** Longer bars indicate better performance\n\n## 3DMARK SLINGSHOT UNLIMITED\niPhone 13 Pro  8,919iPhone 13 Pro Max  8,845iPhone 13  6,653iPhone 12 Pro Max  9,047\n\n**Note:** Longer bars indicate better performance\n## The iPhone 13 Pro Max has the longest battery life of any phone we tested\nBoth the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max have a larger battery. I didn't have any trouble getting through a day, even a hot and humid one where I captured a bunch of photos and videos. For me, the iPhone 13 Pro easily lasts a day on a single charge and the iPhone 13 Pro Max can go two days per charge. Both phones have longer battery lives last year's iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max.  \nIn CNET's battery test in which we play a looped video on Airplane mode with the screen at half brightness, the iPhone 13 Pro lasted 22 hours, 2 minutes, and the iPhone 13 Pro Max lasted 31 hours, 19 minutes. The iPhone 13 Pro Max lasted longer than any phone CNET has ever tested.   \nThe larger battery isn't the only reason for better battery performance. A big part of the improvement comes from the LTPO display that automatically adjusts the refresh rate. The iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max have a fixed 60Hz refresh-rate whereas the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max can drop down as low as 10Hz using less power.\n\nI've had all four iPhone 13 models for about five days, so there are some features I still need to test more to give you a true critique. Let's wrap up by talking about a few of those remaining questions.\n\n- iOS 15 on the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max is wonderful. It adds a bunch of features but doesn't mess with the status quo. I love Focus mode. If you want a more in-depth look at iOS 15, check out [our iOS 15 review](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/mobile\/ios-15-review-focus-mode-facetime-web-links-and-live-text-are-game-changers\/).\n- All of the iPhone 13 models get a new feature called Photographic styles, which lets you choose between standard, the default iPhone look, and four styles: Vibrant, Rich Contrast, Warm and Cool. Apple says these are more than just filters. Your phone analyzes the different parts of your subject to add the look you want without, for example, making someone's skin look overly orange. Apple does all this while you take the photo, and it's baked into the file.\n- These will be the first phones to support the Apple ProRes video codec. ProRes optimizes video files and is especially useful for people who color grade or use editing software such as Final Cut Pro X or Adobe Premiere Pro. ProRes video files have a lower amount of compression but take up a lot of room, which is why that 1TB storage tier is going to be important. Sadly, ProRes isn't available to test at this time and will be out later this year.\n\nI still have more in-depth testing to do on the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max and CNET's team will be doing its usual barrage of camera tests, drop tests and battery tests. Keep checking back as we learn more about these phones.\n\n## iPhone 13 specs vs. 13 Mini, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max\n|   | iPhone 13 Mini | iPhone 13 | iPhone 13 Pro | iPhone 13 Pro Max

wireless carriers, AI, wearables and more. I oversee the team's product testing and translate our findings into accessible recommendations. With nearly a decade of experience at CNET, I've covered Apple and the iPhone, Google and the Pixel, Samsung and the Galaxy, Motorola and the Razr, iOS vs. Android and much more. I'm passionate about storytelling (hey, former theater director and playwright here).

Both offer a number of high-end features, like the ability to record ProRes videos, which help them live up to the Pro in their names. Overall the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max are outstanding, which is why we've given them a CNET Editors' Choice Award. Our original review, first published in September, follows.\n***\nThe iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max mark the third year in a row that Apple released two Pro models. The phones have the same price as last year's [12 Pro and 12 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/mobile\/review-iphone-12-pro-max-deserves-a-spot-in-your-pocket-if-you-can-get-it-to-fit\/), and are loaded with updated cameras, a larger battery and an A15 Bionic chip. By packing the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max with features many of us have wanted for years, including a display with a high refresh rate, Apple further defined the difference between its Pro and non-Pro phones. Three years ago, by comparison, the word Pro seemed more of a marketing term than an indication that the phone was any more professional than a regular iPhone.\n\nThe 13 Pro is an important signal that there isn't just one iPhone that works for everyone. Unlike last year, both phones now have the same camera array and only vary in terms of size, battery life and price.\n\nThe iPhone 13 Pro starts at \\$999 (£949, AU\\$1,699) and the 13 Pro Max at \\$1,099 (£1,049, AU\\$1,849) for 128GB of storage. For the first time, you have the option to get 1TB of storage on an iPhone. The extra storage pushes the price of a 13 Pro to \\$1,499 (£1,449, AU\\$2,569) and the 13 Pro Max to \\$1,599 (£1,549, AU\\$2,719). That's a lot of storage... and a lot of money.\n\n![iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/images\/logos\/cnet_load.png)\n\nThe iPhone 13 Pro comes in a new Sierra blue finish.\n\nPatrick Holland\/CNET\n## The iPhone 13 Pro gets beefier\nThe phones have the same squared off look as the 12 series. The stainless steel sides are glossy and the back has one of four matte finishes: graphite, gold, silver or Sierra blue. In some lighting, the Sierra blue iPhone reads as light gray and in other lighting it looks like the Carolina blue of the UNC Tarheels.\n\nThe notch is 20% smaller. It's not as wide, but there's still a notch. It's fair to say that it annoys me 20% less.\n\nBoth phones are thicker and weigh more. The 13 Pro gains 15 grams and the 13 Pro Max packs on an additional 12 grams. I noticed the extra weight more when I used the 13 Pro. Both phones have Apple's Ceramic Shield on the front and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.\n\n## ProMotion on the iPhone 13 Pro is stellar\nThe 13 Pro has a 6.1-inch screen and the 13 Pro Max a 6.7-inch one. In everyday use, the screens are noticeably brighter. The displays have what Apple calls ProMotion, meaning the iPhone, for the first time ever, supports a high refresh rate. Depending on what's being shown on the screen, the refresh rate switches between 10 and 120Hz. This is a similar approach Samsung took with the [Galaxy S21 Ultra](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/mobile\/samsung-galaxy-s21-ultra-review-5g-phone-pretty-badass\/). In use, the screen looks stellar. Animations look smooth, graphics crisp and even mundane things like scrolling feeds look better.\n\n### iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max: See Apple's biggest mobile flex this year\n[See all photos](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/pictures\/iphone-13-pro-and-iphone-13-pro-max\/)\n## The iPhone 13 Pro has a longer telephoto camera\nThe main camera has a new sensor, the largest ever put into an iPhone. It has a faster f1.5 aperture lens, which equates to improved light gathering. The ultrawide has a new auto focus sensor and lens that also improves light gathering. And last, the telephoto camera gets a new sensor and lens with a longer 3x optical zoom.\n\nUsing the Pro iPhones did result in brighter photos, but the improvement wasn't always obvious. I also noticed that photos had fast shutter speeds, which resulted in freezing action better, like when I took a shot of people riding bikes.\n\nTake a look at photos I took with both phones in the gallery below.\n\n### iPhone 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max camera testing: Photos from Apple's highest end 2021 phones\n[See all photos](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/pictures\/iphone-13-pro-13-pro-max-camera-testing-photos-from-apple-highest-end-2021-phones\/)\n\nAlso taking a Night mode photo was faster and works with the 3x telephoto camera. The iPhone 11 and 12 series had a peculiar quirk where the camera reflected light sources. On the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max, that quirk is still there, especially if there are string lights in your shot, but overall it's better.\n\n## The iPhone 13 Pro cameras bring you even closer to your subject\nThe 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max have a new macro mode, which triggers automatically when you get within a few centimeters of your subject. To test the cameras and Macro function, I took the iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 to the Feast of the Field, part of the yearly Euphoria food event in Greenville, South Carolina. This made for a tasty camera test.\n\nThe way macro photography works is that as you get closer to your subject, the camera automatically switches from the wide camera to ultrawide. Now that the ultrawide has autofocus, it can lock focus on something that's just a couple of centimeters away.\n\n![iPhone 13 Pro](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/images\/logos\/cnet_load.png)\n\nThe only thing smaller than this serving size was the distance between my iPhone's camera and the caviar.\n\nPatrick Holland\/CNET\n\nIn bright and medium lighting, I found macro photography on the iPhone solid. It's not on the level of a mirrorless camera with dedicated macro lens but it's one of the better implementations of a macro mode that I've seen on a phone. I took solid close-up photos of food, coffee and even recorded a nightmare video clip of ants crawling all over a discarded grapefruit.\n\nAt the main dinner for the event, I learned two things: The first is that gooseberries are delicious. And the next is that in low lighting, the iPhone still switches to the ultrawide camera to take a macro photo. The best camera on the phone is the wide-angle camera, which can also handle low-light situations well. And because the phone has to be so close to its subject, it actually blocks some of the light, resulting in mediocre close-ups. At this time, there isn't a way to turn off the macro functionality. Apple says that a new setting will be added in a software update this fall, so you'll be able to turn off automatic camera switching when shooting at close distances for macro photography and video.\n\n## I'm all about Cinematic mode on the iPhone 13 Pro\nAll of the iPhones 13 get a new feature called Cinematic mode. It uses the rear cameras or the True Depth camera array to create a 1080p video at 30 frames per second. What makes the video compelling is that everything but your subject is out of focus. The iPhone can even execute a rack focus from one subject to another. The effect is dramatic and impressive.\n\nLike Portrait mode for photos, the feature allows you to change the depth of field. What's great is the phone can do everything, including choosing who's in focus and when to change focus. During the recording, you can tap and manually change the focus points and aperture yourself. Or you can do all of that after the fact.\n\n![iPhone 13 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/images\/logos\/cnet_load.png)\n\nCinematic mode is a blast to use.\n\nSarah Tew\/CNET\n\nAre Cinematic videos perfect? No, but it's a blast to use and experiment with. Cinematic mode needs a good amount of light to work best. If conditions are too dark, you'll get a pop-up prompting you to turn your flash on.\n\nAlso, I noticed that fast-moving nonhuman subjects, such as water being poured out of a spout or a shot of espresso being brewed, were hard for Cinematic mode to keep in focus. And when editing a Cinematic mode video, the controls for the focus keyframes are tiny. You can long-press to expand them, but as soon as you let go, it goes back to being small.\n\nDon't expect Cinematic mode to be your go-to for consistently good-looking videos. It's a fun-feature but regular video looks better in a majority of situations.\n\n## Not all A15 Bionic power is the same\nPowering everything is Apple's new A15 Bionic chip. The GPU on the Pro models has five cores instead of four on the 13 and 13 Mini. During my time testing the phones, it didn't have any trouble handling gaming, editing photos or having a bunch of apps open at the same time. Check out the benchmark test results below.\n\n## GEEKBENCH V.5.0 SINGLE-CORE\niPhone 13 Pro  1,741iPhone 13 Pro Max  1,741iPhone 13  1,721iPhone 12  1,598\n\n**Note:** Longer bars indicate better performance\n\n## GEEKBENCH V.5.0 MULTICORE\niPhone 13 Pro  4,771iPhone 13 Pro Max  4,856iPhone 13  4,681iPhone 12 Pro Max  4,137\n\n**Note:** Longer bars indicate better performance\n\n## 3DMARK SLINGSHOT UNLIMITED\niPhone 13 Pro  8,919iPhone 13 Pro Max  8,845iPhone 13  6,653iPhone 12 Pro Max  9,047\n\n**Note:** Longer bars indicate better performance\n## The iPhone 13 Pro Max has the longest battery life of any phone we tested\nBoth the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max have a larger battery. I didn't have any trouble getting through a day, even a hot and humid one where I captured a bunch of photos and videos. For me, the iPhone 13 Pro easily lasts a day on a single charge and the iPhone 13 Pro Max can go two days per charge. Both phones have longer battery lives last year's iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max.  \nIn CNET's battery test in which we play a looped video on Airplane mode with the screen at half brightness, the iPhone 13 Pro lasted 22 hours, 2 minutes, and the iPhone 13 Pro Max lasted 31 hours, 19 minutes. The iPhone 13 Pro Max lasted longer than any phone CNET has ever tested.   \nThe larger battery isn't the only reason for better battery performance. A big part of the improvement comes from the LTPO display that automatically adjusts the refresh rate. The iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max have a fixed 60Hz refresh-rate whereas the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max can drop down as low as 10Hz using less power.\n\nI've had all four iPhone 13 models for about five days, so there are some features I still need to test more to give you a true critique. Let's wrap up by talking about a few of those remaining questions.\n\n- iOS 15 on the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max is wonderful. It adds a bunch of features but doesn't mess with the status quo. I love Focus mode. If you want a more in-depth look at iOS 15, check out [our iOS 15 review](https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/mobile\/ios-15-review-focus-mode-facetime-web-links-and-live-text-are-game-changers\/).\n- All of the iPhone 13 models get a new feature called Photographic styles, which lets you choose between standard, the default iPhone look, and four styles: Vibrant, Rich Contrast, Warm and Cool. Apple says these are more than just filters. Your phone analyzes the different parts of your subject to add the look you want without, for example, making someone's skin look overly orange. Apple does all this while you take the photo, and it's baked into the file.\n- These will be the first phones to support the Apple ProRes video codec. ProRes optimizes video files and is especially useful for people who color grade or use editing software such as Final Cut Pro X or Adobe Premiere Pro. ProRes video files have a lower amount of compression but take up a lot of room, which is why that 1TB storage tier is going to be important. Sadly, ProRes isn't available to test at this time and will be out later this year.\n\nI still have more in-depth testing to do on the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max and CNET's team will be doing its usual barrage of camera tests, drop tests and battery tests. Keep checking back as we learn more about these phones.\n\n## iPhone 13 specs vs. 13 Mini, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max\n|   | iPhone 13 Mini | iPhone 13 | iPhone 13 Pro | iPhone 13 Pro Max |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| Display size, resolution | 5\\.4-inch OLED; 2,340x1,080 pixels | 6\\.1-inch OLED; 2,532x1,170 pixels | 6\\.1-inch OLED; 2,532x1,170 pixels | 6\\.7-inch OLED; 2,778x1,284 pixels |\n| Dimensions (Inches) | 5\\.18x2.53x0.3 in | 5\\.78x2.82x0.3 in | 5\\.78x2.82x0.3 in | 6\\.33x3.07x0.3 in |\n| Dimensions (Millimeters) | 132x64x7.65 mm | 147x72x7.65 mm | 147x72x7.65 mm | 161x78x7.65 mm |\n| Weight (Ounces, Grams) | 4\\.97 oz; 141g | 6\\.14 oz; 174g | 7\\.19 oz; 204g | 8\\.48 oz; 240g |\n| Mobile software | iOS 15 | iOS 15 | iOS 15 | iOS 15 |\n| Camera | 12-megapixel (wide), 12-megapixel (ultrawide) | 12-megapixel (wide), 12-megapixel (ultrawide) | 12-megapixel (wide), 12-megapixel (ultrawide), 12-megapixel (telephoto) | 12-megapixel (wide), 12-megapixel (ultrawide), 12-megapixel (telephoto) |\n| Front-facing camera | 12-megapixel | 12-megapixel | 12-megapixel | 12-megapixel |\n| Video capture | HDR video recording with Dolby Vision up to 4K at 60 fps | HDR video recording with Dolby Vision up to 4K at 60 fps | ProRes video recording up to 4K at 30 fps (1080p at 30 fps for 128GB storage)\\* | ProRes video recording up to 4K at 30 fps (1080p at 30 fps for 128GB storage)\\* |\n| Processor | Apple A15 Bionic | Apple A15 Bionic | Apple A15 Bionic | Apple A15 Bionic |\n| Storage | 128GB, 256GB, 512GB | 128GB, 256GB, 512GB | 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB | 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB |\n| Expandable storage | No | No | No | No |\n| Battery | Undisclosed; Apple lists 17 hours of video playback | Undisclosed; Apple lists 19 hours of video playback | Undisclosed; Apple lists 22 hours of video playback | Undisclosed; Apple lists 28 hours of video playback |\n| Fingerprint sensor | No (Face ID) | No (Face ID) | No (Face ID) | No (Face ID) |\n| Connector | Lightning | Lightning | Lightning | Lightning |\n| Headphone jack | No | No | No | No |\n| Special features | 5G enabled; MagSafe; water resistant (IP68); wireless charging; dual-SIM capabilities (nano-SIM and e-SIM) | 5G enabled; MagSafe; water resistant (IP68); wireless charging; dual-SIM capabilities (nano-SIM and e-SIM) | ProMotion technology with adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz; lidar scanner; 5G enabled; MagSafe; water resistant (IP68); wireless charging; dual-SIM capabilities (nano-SIM and e-SIM) | ProMotion technology with adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz; lidar scanner; 5G enabled; MagSafe; water resistant (IP68); wireless charging; dual-SIM capabilities (nano-SIM and e-SIM) |\n| Price off-contract (USD) | \\$699 (128GB), \\$799 (256GB), \\$999 (512GB) | \\$799 (128GB), \\$899 (256GB), \\$1,099 (512GB) | \\$999 (128GB), \\$1,099 (256GB), \\$1,299 (512GB), \\$1,499 (1TB) | \\$1,099 (128GB), \\$1,199 (256GB), \\$1,399 (512GB), \\$1,599 (1TB) |\n| Price (GBP) | £679 (128GB), £779 (256GB), £979 (512GB) | £779 (128GB), £879 (256GB), £1,079 (512GB) | £949 (128GB), £1,049 (256GB), £1,249 (512GB), £1,449 (1TB) | £1,049 (128GB), £1,149 (256GB), £1,349 (512GB), £1,549 (1TB) |\n| Price (AUD) | AU\\$1,199 (128GB), AU\\$1,369 (256GB), AU\\$1,719 (512GB) | AU\\$1,349 (128GB), AU\\$1,519 (256GB), AU\\$1,869 (512GB) | AU\\$1,699 (128GB), AU\\$1,869 (256GB), AU\\$2,219 (512GB), AU\\$2,569 (1TB) | AU\\$1,849 (128GB), AU\\$2,019 (256GB), AU\\$2,369 (512GB), AU\\$2,719 (1TB) |","meta_canonical":null}

Both offer a number of high-end features, like the ability to record ProRes videos, which help them live up to the Pro in their names. Overall the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max are outstanding, which is why we've given them a CNET Editors' Choice Award. Our original review, first published in September, follows. The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max mark the third year in a row that Apple released two Pro models. The phones have the same price as last year's 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max , and are loaded with updated cameras, a larger battery and an A15 Bionic chip. By packing the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max with features many of us have wanted for years, including a display with a high refresh rate, Apple further defined the difference between its Pro and non-Pro phones. Three years ago, by comparison, the word Pro seemed more of a marketing term than an indication that the phone was any more professional than a regular iPhone. The 13 Pro is an important signal that there isn't just one iPhone that works for everyone. Unlike last year, both phones now have the same camera array and only vary in terms of size, battery life and price. The iPhone 13 Pro starts at $999 (£949, AU$1,699) and the 13 Pro Max at $1,099 (£1,049, AU$1,849) for 128GB of storage. For the first time, you have the option to get 1TB of storage on an iPhone. The extra storage pushes the price of a 13 Pro to $1,499 (£1,449, AU$2,569) and the 13 Pro Max to $1,599 (£1,549, AU$2,719). That's a lot of storage... and a lot of money. The iPhone 13 Pro comes in a new Sierra blue finish. Patrick Holland/CNET The iPhone 13 Pro gets beefier The phones have the same squared off look as the 12 series.

Both offer a number of high-end features, like the ability to record ProRes videos, which help them live up to the Pro in their names. Overall the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max are outstanding, which is why we've given them a CNET Editors' Choice Award. Our original review, first published in September, follows. * The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max mark the third year in a row that Apple released two Pro models. The phones have the same price as last year's [12 Pro and 12 Pro Max](https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/review-iphone-12-pro-max-deserves-a-spot-in-your-pocket-if-you-can-get-it-to-fit/), and are loaded with updated cameras, a larger battery and an A15 Bionic chip. By packing the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max with features many of us have wanted for years, including a display with a high refresh rate, Apple further defined the difference between its Pro and non-Pro phones. Three years ago, by comparison, the word Pro seemed more of a marketing term than an indication that the phone was any more professional than a regular iPhone. The 13 Pro is an important signal that there isn't just one iPhone that works for everyone. Unlike last year, both phones now have the same camera array and only vary in terms of size, battery life and price. The iPhone 13 Pro starts at \$999 (£949, AU\$1,699) and the 13 Pro Max at \$1,099 (£1,049, AU\$1,849) for 128GB of storage. For the first time, you have the option to get 1TB of storage on an iPhone. The extra storage pushes the price of a 13 Pro to \$1,499 (£1,449, AU\$2,569) and the 13 Pro Max to \$1,599 (£1,549, AU\$2,719). That's a lot of storage... and a lot of money. ![iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max](https://www.cnet.com/images/logos/cnet_load.png) The iPhone 13 Pro comes in a new Sierra blue finish. Patrick Holland/CNET ## The iPhone 13 Pro gets beefier The phones have the same squared off look as the 12 series. The stainless steel sides are glossy and the back has one of four matte finishes: graphite, gold, silver or Sierra blue. In some lighting, the Sierra blue iPhone reads as light gray and in other lighting it looks like the Carolina blue of the UNC Tarheels. The notch is 20% smaller. It's not as wide, but there's still a notch. It's fair to say that it annoys me 20% less. Both phones are thicker and weigh more. The 13 Pro gains 15 grams and the 13 Pro Max packs on an additional 12 grams. I noticed the extra weight more when I used the 13 Pro. Both phones have Apple's Ceramic Shield on the front and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. ## ProMotion on the iPhone 13 Pro is stellar The 13 Pro has a 6.1-inch screen and the 13 Pro Max a 6.7-inch one. In everyday use, the screens are noticeably brighter. The displays have what Apple calls ProMotion, meaning the iPhone, for the first time ever, supports a high refresh rate. Depending on what's being shown on the screen, the refresh rate switches between 10 and 120Hz. This is a similar approach Samsung took with the [Galaxy S21 Ultra](https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/samsung-galaxy-s21-ultra-review-5g-phone-pretty-badass/). In use, the screen looks stellar. Animations look smooth, graphics crisp and even mundane things like scrolling feeds look better. ### iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max: See Apple's biggest mobile flex this year [![](https://www.cnet.com/images/logos/cnet_load.png)](https://www.cnet.com/pictures/iphone-13-pro-and-iphone-13-pro-max/) [![](https://www.cnet.com/images/logos/cnet_load.png)](https://www.cnet.com/pictures/iphone-13-pro-and-iphone-13-pro-max/) [![](https://www.cnet.com/images/logos/cnet_load.png) +83 More](https://www.cnet.com/pictures/iphone-13-pro-and-iphone-13-pro-max/) [See all photos](https://www.cnet.com/pictures/iphone-13-pro-and-iphone-13-pro-max/) ## The iPhone 13 Pro has a longer telephoto camera The main camera has a new sensor, the largest ever put into an iPhone. It has a faster f1.5 aperture lens, which equates to improved light gathering. The ultrawide has a new auto focus sensor and lens that also improves light gathering. And last, the telephoto camera gets a new sensor and lens with a longer 3x optical zoom. Using the Pro iPhones did result in brighter photos, but the improvement wasn't always obvious. I also noticed that photos had fast shutter speeds, which resulted in freezing action better, like when I took a shot of people riding bikes. Take a look at photos I took with both phones in the gallery below. ### iPhone 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max camera testing: Photos from Apple's highest end 2021 phones [![](https://www.cnet.com/images/logos/cnet_load.png)](https://www.cnet.com/pictures/iphone-13-pro-13-pro-max-camera-testing-photos-from-apple-highest-end-2021-phones/) [![](https://www.cnet.com/images/logos/cnet_load.png)](https://www.cnet.com/pictures/iphone-13-pro-13-pro-max-camera-testing-photos-from-apple-highest-end-2021-phones/) [![](https://www.cnet.com/images/logos/cnet_load.png) +63 More](https://www.cnet.com/pictures/iphone-13-pro-13-pro-max-camera-testing-photos-from-apple-highest-end-2021-phones/) [See all photos](https://www.cnet.com/pictures/iphone-13-pro-13-pro-max-camera-testing-photos-from-apple-highest-end-2021-phones/) Also taking a Night mode photo was faster and works with the 3x telephoto camera. The iPhone 11 and 12 series had a peculiar quirk where the camera reflected light sources. On the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max, that quirk is still there, especially if there are string lights in your shot, but overall it's better. ## The iPhone 13 Pro cameras bring you even closer to your subject The 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max have a new macro mode, which triggers automatically when you get within a few centimeters of your subject. To test the cameras and Macro function, I took the iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 to the Feast of the Field, part of the yearly Euphoria food event in Greenville, South Carolina. This made for a tasty camera test. The way macro photography works is that as you get closer to your subject, the camera automatically switches from the wide camera to ultrawide. Now that the ultrawide has autofocus, it can lock focus on something that's just a couple of centimeters away. ![iPhone 13 Pro](https://www.cnet.com/images/logos/cnet_load.png) The only thing smaller than this serving size was the distance between my iPhone's camera and the caviar. Patrick Holland/CNET In bright and medium lighting, I found macro photography on the iPhone solid. It's not on the level of a mirrorless camera with dedicated macro lens but it's one of the better implementations of a macro mode that I've seen on a phone. I took solid close-up photos of food, coffee and even recorded a nightmare video clip of ants crawling all over a discarded grapefruit. At the main dinner for the event, I learned two things: The first is that gooseberries are delicious. And the next is that in low lighting, the iPhone still switches to the ultrawide camera to take a macro photo. The best camera on the phone is the wide-angle camera, which can also handle low-light situations well. And because the phone has to be so close to its subject, it actually blocks some of the light, resulting in mediocre close-ups. At this time, there isn't a way to turn off the macro functionality. Apple says that a new setting will be added in a software update this fall, so you'll be able to turn off automatic camera switching when shooting at close distances for macro photography and video. ## I'm all about Cinematic mode on the iPhone 13 Pro All of the iPhones 13 get a new feature called Cinematic mode. It uses the rear cameras or the True Depth camera array to create a 1080p video at 30 frames per second. What makes the video compelling is that everything but your subject is out of focus. The iPhone can even execute a rack focus from one subject to another. The effect is dramatic and impressive. Like Portrait mode for photos, the feature allows you to change the depth of field. What's great is the phone can do everything, including choosing who's in focus and when to change focus. During the recording, you can tap and manually change the focus points and aperture yourself. Or you can do all of that after the fact. ![iPhone 13 Pro Max](https://www.cnet.com/images/logos/cnet_load.png) Cinematic mode is a blast to use. Sarah Tew/CNET Are Cinematic videos perfect? No, but it's a blast to use and experiment with. Cinematic mode needs a good amount of light to work best. If conditions are too dark, you'll get a pop-up prompting you to turn your flash on. Also, I noticed that fast-moving nonhuman subjects, such as water being poured out of a spout or a shot of espresso being brewed, were hard for Cinematic mode to keep in focus. And when editing a Cinematic mode video, the controls for the focus keyframes are tiny. You can long-press to expand them, but as soon as you let go, it goes back to being small. Don't expect Cinematic mode to be your go-to for consistently good-looking videos. It's a fun-feature but regular video looks better in a majority of situations. ## Not all A15 Bionic power is the same Powering everything is Apple's new A15 Bionic chip. The GPU on the Pro models has five cores instead of four on the 13 and 13 Mini. During my time testing the phones, it didn't have any trouble handling gaming, editing photos or having a bunch of apps open at the same time. Check out the benchmark test results below. ## GEEKBENCH V.5.0 SINGLE-CORE iPhone 13 Pro 1,741iPhone 13 Pro Max 1,741iPhone 13 1,721iPhone 12 1,598 Note: Longer bars indicate better performance ## GEEKBENCH V.5.0 MULTICORE iPhone 13 Pro 4,771iPhone 13 Pro Max 4,856iPhone 13 4,681iPhone 12 Pro Max 4,137 Note: Longer bars indicate better performance ## 3DMARK SLINGSHOT UNLIMITED iPhone 13 Pro 8,919iPhone 13 Pro Max 8,845iPhone 13 6,653iPhone 12 Pro Max 9,047 Note:** Longer bars indicate better performance ## The iPhone 13 Pro Max has the longest battery life of any phone we tested Both the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max have a larger battery. I didn't have any trouble getting through a day, even a hot and humid one where I captured a bunch of photos and videos. For me, the iPhone 13 Pro easily lasts a day on a single charge and the iPhone 13 Pro Max can go two days per charge. Both phones have longer battery lives last year's iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max. In CNET's battery test in which we play a looped video on Airplane mode with the screen at half brightness, the iPhone 13 Pro lasted 22 hours, 2 minutes, and the iPhone 13 Pro Max lasted 31 hours, 19 minutes. The iPhone 13 Pro Max lasted longer than any phone CNET has ever tested. The larger battery isn't the only reason for better battery performance. A big part of the improvement comes from the LTPO display that automatically adjusts the refresh rate. The iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max have a fixed 60Hz refresh-rate whereas the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max can drop down as low as 10Hz using less power. I've had all four iPhone 13 models for about five days, so there are some features I still need to test more to give you a true critique. Let's wrap up by talking about a few of those remaining questions. - iOS 15 on the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max is wonderful. It adds a bunch of features but doesn't mess with the status quo. I love Focus mode. If you want a more in-depth look at iOS 15, check out [our iOS 15 review](https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/ios-15-review-focus-mode-facetime-web-links-and-live-text-are-game-changers/). - All of the iPhone 13 models get a new feature called Photographic styles, which lets you choose between standard, the default iPhone look, and four styles: Vibrant, Rich Contrast, Warm and Cool. Apple says these are more than just filters. Your phone analyzes the different parts of your subject to add the look you want without, for example, making someone's skin look overly orange. Apple does all this while you take the photo, and it's baked into the file. - These will be the first phones to support the Apple ProRes video codec. ProRes optimizes video files and is especially useful for people who color grade or use editing software such as Final Cut Pro X or Adobe Premiere Pro. ProRes video files have a lower amount of compression but take up a lot of room, which is why that 1TB storage tier is going to be important. Sadly, ProRes isn't available to test at this time and will be out later this year. I still have more in-depth testing to do on the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max and CNET's team will be doing its usual barrage of camera tests, drop tests and battery tests. Keep checking back as we learn more about these phones. ## iPhone 13 specs vs. 13 Mini, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max \| \| iPhone 13 Mini \| iPhone 13 \| iPhone 13 Pro \| iPhone 13 Pro Max \| \|---\|---\|---\|---\|---\| \| Display size, resolution \| 5\.4-inch OLED; 2,340x1,080 pixels \| 6\.1-inch OLED; 2,532x1,170 pixels \| 6\.1-inch OLED; 2,532x1,170 pixels \| 6\.7-inch OLED; 2,778x1,284 pixels \| \| Dimensions (Inches) \| 5\.18x2.53x0.3 in \| 5\.78x2.82x0.3 in \| 5\.78x2.82x0.3 in \| 6\.33x3.07x0.3 in \| \| Dimensions (Millimeters) \| 132x64x7.65 mm \| 147x72x7.65 mm \| 147x72x7.65 mm \| 161x78x7.65 mm \| \| Weight (Ounces, Grams) \| 4\.97 oz; 141g \| 6\.14 oz; 174g \| 7\.19 oz; 204g \| 8\.48 oz; 240g \| \| Mobile software \| iOS 15 \| iOS 15 \| iOS 15 \| iOS 15 \| \| Camera \| 12-megapixel (wide), 12-megapixel (ultrawide) \| 12-megapixel (wide), 12-megapixel (ultrawide) \| 12-megapixel (wide), 12-megapixel (ultrawide), 12-megapixel (telephoto) \| 12-megapixel (wide), 12-megapixel (ultrawide), 12-megapixel (telephoto) \| \| Front-facing camera \| 12-megapixel \| 12-megapixel \| 12-megapixel \| 12-megapixel \| \| Video capture \| HDR video recording with Dolby Vision up to 4K at 60 fps \| HDR video recording with Dolby Vision up to 4K at 60 fps \| ProRes video recording up to 4K at 30 fps (1080p at 30 fps for 128GB storage)\* \| ProRes video recording up to 4K at 30 fps (1080p at 30 fps for 128GB storage)\* \| \| Processor \| Apple A15 Bionic \| Apple A15 Bionic \| Apple A15 Bionic \| Apple A15 Bionic \| \| Storage \| 128GB, 256GB, 512GB \| 128GB, 256GB, 512GB \| 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB \| 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB \| \| Expandable storage \| No \| No \| No \| No \| \| Battery \| Undisclosed; Apple lists 17 hours of video playback \| Undisclosed; Apple lists 19 hours of video playback \| Undisclosed; Apple lists 22 hours of video playback \| Undisclosed; Apple lists 28 hours of video playback \| \| Fingerprint sensor \| No (Face ID) \| No (Face ID) \| No (Face ID) \| No (Face ID) \| \| Connector \| Lightning \| Lightning \| Lightning \| Lightning \| \| Headphone jack \| No \| No \| No \| No \| \| Special features \| 5G enabled; MagSafe; water resistant (IP68); wireless charging; dual-SIM capabilities (nano-SIM and e-SIM) \| 5G enabled; MagSafe; water resistant (IP68); wireless charging; dual-SIM capabilities (nano-SIM and e-SIM) \| ProMotion technology with adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz; lidar scanner; 5G enabled; MagSafe; water resistant (IP68); wireless charging; dual-SIM capabilities (nano-SIM and e-SIM) \| ProMotion technology with adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz; lidar scanner; 5G enabled; MagSafe; water resistant (IP68); wireless charging; dual-SIM capabilities (nano-SIM and e-SIM) \| \| Price off-contract (USD) \| \$699 (128GB), \$799 (256GB), \$999 (512GB) \| \$799 (128GB), \$899 (256GB), \$1,099 (512GB) \| \$999 (128GB), \$1,099 (256GB), \$1,299 (512GB), \$1,499 (1TB) \| \$1,099 (128GB), \$1,199 (256GB), \$1,399 (512GB), \$1,599 (1TB) \| \| Price (GBP) \| £679 (128GB), £779 (256GB), £979 (512GB) \| £779 (128GB), £879 (256GB), £1,079 (512GB) \| £949 (128GB), £1,049 (256GB), £1,249 (512GB), £1,449 (1TB) \| £1,049 (128GB), £1,149 (256GB), £1,349 (512GB), £1,549 (1TB) \| \| Price (AUD) \| AU\$1,199 (128GB), AU\$1,369 (256GB), AU\$1,719 (512GB) \| AU\$1,349 (128GB), AU\$1,519 (256GB), AU\$1,869 (512GB) \| AU\$1,699 (128GB), AU\$1,869 (256GB), AU\$2,219 (512GB), AU\$2,569 (1TB) \| AU\$1,849 (128GB), AU\$2,019 (256GB), AU\$2,369 (512GB), AU\$2,719 (1TB) \| ## Mobile Guides Phones -

Both offer a number of high-end features, like the ability to record ProRes videos, which help them live up to the Pro in their names. Overall the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max are outstanding, which is why we've given them a CNET Editors' Choice Award. Our original review, first published in September, follows. * The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max mark the third year in a row that Apple released two Pro models. The phones have the same price as last year's [12 Pro and 12 Pro Max](https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/review-iphone-12-pro-max-deserves-a-spot-in-your-pocket-if-you-can-get-it-to-fit/), and are loaded with updated cameras, a larger battery and an A15 Bionic chip. By packing the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max with features many of us have wanted for years, including a display with a high refresh rate, Apple further defined the difference between its Pro and non-Pro phones. Three years ago, by comparison, the word Pro seemed more of a marketing term than an indication that the phone was any more professional than a regular iPhone. The 13 Pro is an important signal that there isn't just one iPhone that works for everyone. Unlike last year, both phones now have the same camera array and only vary in terms of size, battery life and price. The iPhone 13 Pro starts at \$999 (£949, AU\$1,699) and the 13 Pro Max at \$1,099 (£1,049, AU\$1,849) for 128GB of storage. For the first time, you have the option to get 1TB of storage on an iPhone. The extra storage pushes the price of a 13 Pro to \$1,499 (£1,449, AU\$2,569) and the 13 Pro Max to \$1,599 (£1,549, AU\$2,719). That's a lot of storage... and a lot of money. ![iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max](https://www.cnet.com/images/logos/cnet_load.png) The iPhone 13 Pro comes in a new Sierra blue finish. Patrick Holland/CNET ## The iPhone 13 Pro gets beefier The phones have the same squared off look as the 12 series. The stainless steel sides are glossy and the back has one of four matte finishes: graphite, gold, silver or Sierra blue. In some lighting, the Sierra blue iPhone reads as light gray and in other lighting it looks like the Carolina blue of the UNC Tarheels. The notch is 20% smaller. It's not as wide, but there's still a notch. It's fair to say that it annoys me 20% less. Both phones are thicker and weigh more. The 13 Pro gains 15 grams and the 13 Pro Max packs on an additional 12 grams. I noticed the extra weight more when I used the 13 Pro. Both phones have Apple's Ceramic Shield on the front and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. ## ProMotion on the iPhone 13 Pro is stellar The 13 Pro has a 6.1-inch screen and the 13 Pro Max a 6.7-inch one. In everyday use, the screens are noticeably brighter. The displays have what Apple calls ProMotion, meaning the iPhone, for the first time ever, supports a high refresh rate. Depending on what's being shown on the screen, the refresh rate switches between 10 and 120Hz. This is a similar approach Samsung took with the [Galaxy S21 Ultra](https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/samsung-galaxy-s21-ultra-review-5g-phone-pretty-badass/). In use, the screen looks stellar. Animations look smooth, graphics crisp and even mundane things like scrolling feeds look better. ### iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max: See Apple's biggest mobile flex this year [See all photos](https://www.cnet.com/pictures/iphone-13-pro-and-iphone-13-pro-max/) ## The iPhone 13 Pro has a longer telephoto camera The main camera has a new sensor, the largest ever put into an iPhone. It has a faster f1.5 aperture lens, which equates to improved light gathering. The ultrawide has a new auto focus sensor and lens that also improves light gathering. And last, the telephoto camera gets a new sensor and lens with a longer 3x optical zoom. Using the Pro iPhones did result in brighter photos, but the improvement wasn't always obvious. I also noticed that photos had fast shutter speeds, which resulted in freezing action better, like when I took a shot of people riding bikes. Take a look at photos I took with both phones in the gallery below. ### iPhone 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max camera testing: Photos from Apple's highest end 2021 phones [See all photos](https://www.cnet.com/pictures/iphone-13-pro-13-pro-max-camera-testing-photos-from-apple-highest-end-2021-phones/) Also taking a Night mode photo was faster and works with the 3x telephoto camera. The iPhone 11 and 12 series had a peculiar quirk where the camera reflected light sources. On the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max, that quirk is still there, especially if there are string lights in your shot, but overall it's better. ## The iPhone 13 Pro cameras bring you even closer to your subject The 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max have a new macro mode, which triggers automatically when you get within a few centimeters of your subject. To test the cameras and Macro function, I took the iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 to the Feast of the Field, part of the yearly Euphoria food event in Greenville, South Carolina. This made for a tasty camera test. The way macro photography works is that as you get closer to your subject, the camera automatically switches from the wide camera to ultrawide. Now that the ultrawide has autofocus, it can lock focus on something that's just a couple of centimeters away. ![iPhone 13 Pro](https://www.cnet.com/images/logos/cnet_load.png) The only thing smaller than this serving size was the distance between my iPhone's camera and the caviar. Patrick Holland/CNET In bright and medium lighting, I found macro photography on the iPhone solid. It's not on the level of a mirrorless camera with dedicated macro lens but it's one of the better implementations of a macro mode that I've seen on a phone. I took solid close-up photos of food, coffee and even recorded a nightmare video clip of ants crawling all over a discarded grapefruit. At the main dinner for the event, I learned two things: The first is that gooseberries are delicious. And the next is that in low lighting, the iPhone still switches to the ultrawide camera to take a macro photo. The best camera on the phone is the wide-angle camera, which can also handle low-light situations well. And because the phone has to be so close to its subject, it actually blocks some of the light, resulting in mediocre close-ups. At this time, there isn't a way to turn off the macro functionality. Apple says that a new setting will be added in a software update this fall, so you'll be able to turn off automatic camera switching when shooting at close distances for macro photography and video. ## I'm all about Cinematic mode on the iPhone 13 Pro All of the iPhones 13 get a new feature called Cinematic mode. It uses the rear cameras or the True Depth camera array to create a 1080p video at 30 frames per second. What makes the video compelling is that everything but your subject is out of focus. The iPhone can even execute a rack focus from one subject to another. The effect is dramatic and impressive. Like Portrait mode for photos, the feature allows you to change the depth of field. What's great is the phone can do everything, including choosing who's in focus and when to change focus. During the recording, you can tap and manually change the focus points and aperture yourself. Or you can do all of that after the fact. ![iPhone 13 Pro Max](https://www.cnet.com/images/logos/cnet_load.png) Cinematic mode is a blast to use. Sarah Tew/CNET Are Cinematic videos perfect? No, but it's a blast to use and experiment with. Cinematic mode needs a good amount of light to work best. If conditions are too dark, you'll get a pop-up prompting you to turn your flash on. Also, I noticed that fast-moving nonhuman subjects, such as water being poured out of a spout or a shot of espresso being brewed, were hard for Cinematic mode to keep in focus. And when editing a Cinematic mode video, the controls for the focus keyframes are tiny. You can long-press to expand them, but as soon as you let go, it goes back to being small. Don't expect Cinematic mode to be your go-to for consistently good-looking videos. It's a fun-feature but regular video looks better in a majority of situations. ## Not all A15 Bionic power is the same Powering everything is Apple's new A15 Bionic chip. The GPU on the Pro models has five cores instead of four on the 13 and 13 Mini. During my time testing the phones, it didn't have any trouble handling gaming, editing photos or having a bunch of apps open at the same time. Check out the benchmark test results below. ## GEEKBENCH V.5.0 SINGLE-CORE iPhone 13 Pro 1,741iPhone 13 Pro Max 1,741iPhone 13 1,721iPhone 12 1,598 Note: Longer bars indicate better performance ## GEEKBENCH V.5.0 MULTICORE iPhone 13 Pro 4,771iPhone 13 Pro Max 4,856iPhone 13 4,681iPhone 12 Pro Max 4,137 Note: Longer bars indicate better performance ## 3DMARK SLINGSHOT UNLIMITED iPhone 13 Pro 8,919iPhone 13 Pro Max 8,845iPhone 13 6,653iPhone 12 Pro Max 9,047 Note:** Longer bars indicate better performance ## The iPhone 13 Pro Max has the longest battery life of any phone we tested Both the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max have a larger battery. I didn't have any trouble getting through a day, even a hot and humid one where I captured a bunch of photos and videos. For me, the iPhone 13 Pro easily lasts a day on a single charge and the iPhone 13 Pro Max can go two days per charge. Both phones have longer battery lives last year's iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max. In CNET's battery test in which we play a looped video on Airplane mode with the screen at half brightness, the iPhone 13 Pro lasted 22 hours, 2 minutes, and the iPhone 13 Pro Max lasted 31 hours, 19 minutes. The iPhone 13 Pro Max lasted longer than any phone CNET has ever tested. The larger battery isn't the only reason for better battery performance. A big part of the improvement comes from the LTPO display that automatically adjusts the refresh rate. The iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max have a fixed 60Hz refresh-rate whereas the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max can drop down as low as 10Hz using less power. I've had all four iPhone 13 models for about five days, so there are some features I still need to test more to give you a true critique. Let's wrap up by talking about a few of those remaining questions. - iOS 15 on the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max is wonderful. It adds a bunch of features but doesn't mess with the status quo. I love Focus mode. If you want a more in-depth look at iOS 15, check out [our iOS 15 review](https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/ios-15-review-focus-mode-facetime-web-links-and-live-text-are-game-changers/). - All of the iPhone 13 models get a new feature called Photographic styles, which lets you choose between standard, the default iPhone look, and four styles: Vibrant, Rich Contrast, Warm and Cool. Apple says these are more than just filters. Your phone analyzes the different parts of your subject to add the look you want without, for example, making someone's skin look overly orange. Apple does all this while you take the photo, and it's baked into the file. - These will be the first phones to support the Apple ProRes video codec. ProRes optimizes video files and is especially useful for people who color grade or use editing software such as Final Cut Pro X or Adobe Premiere Pro. ProRes video files have a lower amount of compression but take up a lot of room, which is why that 1TB storage tier is going to be important. Sadly, ProRes isn't available to test at this time and will be out later this year. I still have more in-depth testing to do on the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max and CNET's team will be doing its usual barrage of camera tests, drop tests and battery tests. Keep checking back as we learn more about these phones. ## iPhone 13 specs vs. 13 Mini, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max \| \| iPhone 13 Mini \| iPhone 13 \| iPhone 13 Pro \| iPhone 13 Pro Max \| \|---\|---\|---\|---\|---\| \| Display size, resolution \| 5\.4-inch OLED; 2,340x1,080 pixels \| 6\.1-inch OLED; 2,532x1,170 pixels \| 6\.1-inch OLED; 2,532x1,170 pixels \| 6\.7-inch OLED; 2,778x1,284 pixels \| \| Dimensions (Inches) \| 5\.18x2.53x0.3 in \| 5\.78x2.82x0.3 in \| 5\.78x2.82x0.3 in \| 6\.33x3.07x0.3 in \| \| Dimensions (Millimeters) \| 132x64x7.65 mm \| 147x72x7.65 mm \| 147x72x7.65 mm \| 161x78x7.65 mm \| \| Weight (Ounces, Grams) \| 4\.97 oz; 141g \| 6\.14 oz; 174g \| 7\.19 oz; 204g \| 8\.48 oz; 240g \| \| Mobile software \| iOS 15 \| iOS 15 \| iOS 15 \| iOS 15 \| \| Camera \| 12-megapixel (wide), 12-megapixel (ultrawide) \| 12-megapixel (wide), 12-megapixel (ultrawide) \| 12-megapixel (wide), 12-megapixel (ultrawide), 12-megapixel (telephoto) \| 12-megapixel (wide), 12-megapixel (ultrawide), 12-megapixel (telephoto) \| \| Front-facing camera \| 12-megapixel \| 12-megapixel \| 12-megapixel \| 12-megapixel \| \| Video capture \| HDR video recording with Dolby Vision up to 4K at 60 fps \| HDR video recording with Dolby Vision up to 4K at 60 fps \| ProRes video recording up to 4K at 30 fps (1080p at 30 fps for 128GB storage)\* \| ProRes video recording up to 4K at 30 fps (1080p at 30 fps for 128GB storage)\* \| \| Processor \| Apple A15 Bionic \| Apple A15 Bionic \| Apple A15 Bionic \| Apple A15 Bionic \| \| Storage \| 128GB, 256GB, 512GB \| 128GB, 256GB, 512GB \| 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB \| 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB \| \| Expandable storage \| No \| No \| No \| No \| \| Battery \| Undisclosed; Apple lists 17 hours of video playback \| Undisclosed; Apple lists 19 hours of video playback \| Undisclosed; Apple lists 22 hours of video playback \| Undisclosed; Apple lists 28 hours of video playback \| \| Fingerprint sensor \| No (Face ID) \| No (Face ID) \| No (Face ID) \| No (Face ID) \| \| Connector \| Lightning \| Lightning \| Lightning \| Lightning \| \| Headphone jack \| No \| No \| No \| No \| \| Special features \| 5G enabled; MagSafe; water resistant (IP68); wireless charging; dual-SIM capabilities (nano-SIM and e-SIM) \| 5G enabled; MagSafe; water resistant (IP68); wireless charging; dual-SIM capabilities (nano-SIM and e-SIM) \| ProMotion technology with adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz; lidar scanner; 5G enabled; MagSafe; water resistant (IP68); wireless charging; dual-SIM capabilities (nano-SIM and e-SIM) \| ProMotion technology with adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz; lidar scanner; 5G enabled; MagSafe; water resistant (IP68); wireless charging; dual-SIM capabilities (nano-SIM and e-SIM) \| \| Price off-contract (USD) \| \$699 (128GB), \$799 (256GB), \$999 (512GB) \| \$799 (128GB), \$899 (256GB), \$1,099 (512GB) \| \$999 (128GB), \$1,099 (256GB), \$1,299 (512GB), \$1,499 (1TB) \| \$1,099 (128GB), \$1,199 (256GB), \$1,399 (512GB), \$1,599 (1TB) \| \| Price (GBP) \| £679 (128GB), £779 (256GB), £979 (512GB) \| £779 (128GB), £879 (256GB), £1,079 (512GB) \| £949 (128GB), £1,049 (256GB), £1,249 (512GB), £1,449 (1TB) \| £1,049 (128GB), £1,149 (256GB), £1,349 (512GB), £1,549 (1TB) \| \| Price (AUD) \| AU\$1,199 (128GB), AU\$1,369 (256GB), AU\$1,719 (512GB) \| AU\$1,349 (128GB), AU\$1,519 (256GB), AU\$1,869 (512GB) \| AU\$1,699 (128GB), AU\$1,869 (256GB), AU\$2,219 (512GB), AU\$2,569 (1TB) \| AU\$1,849 (128GB), AU\$2,019 (256GB), AU\$2,369 (512GB), AU\$2,719 (1TB) \|
