00:00All right, so Apple announced some new hardware today, the new iPhone 13s, the new iPad mini, and the new Apple Watch Series 7.
00:07I'm going to go through some stuff that I found was interesting about these particular devices.
00:10Let's start with the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max.
00:14And if you take a look at the screens first, they're now capable of running at 120 Hz.
00:17The size and the screen resolution stay the same, and the notch is a little bit smaller this year.
00:22It's just this capability of being able to go to a higher refresh rate.
00:25Now, this is tech we've seen on so many other Android flagships for the past few years,
00:29and Apple finally introduces this into their phones.
00:33It's really cool if you've never seen this before.
00:35It's fast and fluid, and even in comparison to the iPad Pro displays with ProMotion,
00:40these are going to look nicer because the iPads have IPS panels, right?
00:43They're fast, but there's a bit of ghosting going on.
00:45On the phones, these are OLED panels.
00:47They're really fast response time, fast refresh rate.
00:50It's a nice touch.
00:51And the hardware is capable of lowering that refresh rate down to 10 Hz,
00:54and the idea being you lower it down to preserve battery life, right?
00:57If you're watching a high refresh animation, or you're playing a game that can support a fast refresh rate,
01:02it'll bump it up, but if you're just watching a static image,
01:04if you're browsing Reddit or something, or looking at a picture, it'll lower it down.
01:08Now, in the past, when it came to other companies that use this tech,
01:12like OnePlus phones, Samsung phones, any device that uses LTPO tech,
01:16there's usually a bit of a difference.
01:18Any device that uses LTPO tech, there's usually a bit of a stutter,
01:21or some kind of visual lag when you flick the screen,
01:24and the phone's trying to ramp up the refresh rate from low to high.
01:27It appears in basically every phone I've ever reviewed with LTPO tech.
01:31But on the iPhone, I'm curious to see how they handle it,
01:33because Apple cares a lot about their animations.
01:36They put a lot of effort and time into just how the UI interacts,
01:39and if there's lag there from this LTPO tech ramping speeds up and down,
01:44I think people will notice.
01:45So, I'd like to see what it looks like on the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max.
01:48But that's the other thing.
01:49This tech, this ProMotion tech, only appears on the iPhone 13 Pro and the Pro Max.
01:54The regular ones, like the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 Mini,
01:57they don't have ProMotion.
01:58They're still in, like, poverty motion at 60 Hz.
02:02Alright, so the cameras.
02:03Both the iPhone 13 Pro and the Pro Max share the same camera system this year.
02:07There's three new lenses compared to last year.
02:09The main camera has a bigger sensor.
02:11The telephoto has a 3x zoom compared to 2.5 from last year,
02:14so it's just got a better zoom capability.
02:16But the third lens is the most interesting one to me.
02:18So, this is the ultra-wide.
02:20But this year, it has a wider aperture,
02:22and it can also focus on things that are close, like really close,
02:252 cm away, so you can get some nice macro photos.
02:27Now, the iPhone 13 Pro can also record video in ProRes,
02:31which is cool, but I kind of have mixed feelings about it.
02:33Like, it's a video format that is, it's truly a professional video format.
02:37It's for editing and for working with.
02:40And the iPhone 13 Pro is going to record the footage in 4K, 30 frames per second.
02:44I believe the lower-end model, like the base model, 128 GB of storage,
02:48can only shoot 1080p, 30 frames per second.
02:51Now, I don't know if that limitation is there because of a RAM difference
02:54between the models, or if Apple's putting some kind of soft cap there
02:57so that people with the smaller storage don't fill up their phones in 5 minutes.
03:00Point being, ProRes footage is no joke.
03:02It's very Pro, but it's also very big.
03:05I do think that this year's Pro models are a more capable camera system.
03:09than the non-Pro by a significant margin.
03:11They're even including an extra GPU core on the Pro models.
03:15Like the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max, they have a 5-core GPU
03:18as opposed to the 4-core on the regular iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini.
03:23The colors on the Pro models, there's this light blue model this year
03:26that doesn't look all that great to me from the photos and videos so far.
03:29It could look completely different in real life,
03:31but based on the pictures so far, I'm not a big fan of it.
03:34In terms of the iPhone 13 colors, like the regular iPhone 13s,
03:37the blue looks like it's slightly different compared to last year's model.
03:40I think this new one is nicer.
03:42The camera systems on the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini are arranged diagonally this year,
03:46and it's seemingly to house a bigger sensor.
03:49So this was taken from the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
03:51It's a large sensor, and it also has sensor shift technology,
03:54the tech from Apple that moves the sensor around instead of the lens cluster.
03:58So it's a little bit lighter and a little bit quicker
04:00to respond to any kind of vibrations or movements when you're using the cameras.
04:04Now Apple's also introducing this new cinematic mode for video,
04:07and this tech looks really cool to me.
04:10So we've seen portrait mode in photography before.
04:13A lot of companies are doing it.
04:14Apple, Google, Samsung, basically everyone.
04:16But Apple's the first company to do the equivalent of that, but for video.
04:20And it looks really cool.
04:22It can intelligently shift focus between various objects in the scene,
04:25and if someone comes in and is looking at the lens, it'll focus on that face.
04:29But then if they look away, it'll focus back on the object.
04:32It's so neat.
04:33And all four phones get access to this cinematic mode.
04:36So that includes the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini,
04:39despite having lesser camera systems than the other two.
04:42Okay, so the processor.
04:43These are all running the A15 Bionic this year,
04:45with the iPhone 13 Pros having that extra GPU core.
04:48Also, the battery system.
04:50They're supposedly bigger this year across the board and longer lasting.
04:53The 13 mini and the 13 Pro get an extra hour and a half compared to last year's model,
04:58but the regular 13, as well as the 13 Pro Max,
05:00get an extra two and a half hour compared to last year's model.
05:03So, it's a significant bump up in battery life, if you ask me.
05:07I do find it strange, though, that they still refer to it as all-day battery.
05:11Like, I feel like they've been using that term forever,
05:14but, you know, the battery life is improving, but it's still all-day battery.
05:18They mentioned some new MagSafe wallets that are compatible with the Find My app.
05:22And at first, I was like, are they running AirTags on these new things?
05:25But I think what they're doing is, it's just a detection system.
05:28Like, you have these new MagSafe wallets, they stick them to the back of the phone,
05:31and when it comes off, like when it detaches, it'll record the time and the location that it happened.
05:36And the idea being that if you ever misplace it,
05:39like if you ever have a wallet, a MagSafe wallet that comes off,
05:43and you're unaware that it came off, like it slipped off,
05:45when you're taking it out of your pocket, it falls off,
05:47you can at least find the location and time that it happened.
05:50The current iteration of MagSafe wallets can't do that.
05:52So, if they ever detach accidentally, they can be hard to find.
05:55Okay, the iPad mini.
05:57This was the star of the show.
05:58So this was unexpected for me, because I thought Apple was done with this form factor.
06:02Like, they hadn't updated the mini iPad for a couple years,
06:05and I was like, they're moving on from it.
06:07But here we are with an 8.3 inch device with thin bezels,
06:10the A15 chip, second gen Apple Pencil support,
06:13and center stage.
06:14Remember that tech from the iPad Pro a few months ago,
06:17where it would crop the image and seemingly follow you around,
06:20and bring more people into the conversation?
06:22That is a really cool piece of camera tech that I personally love,
06:25and I think to have that on a $500 device that is super compact,
06:30I think it's a really great move.
06:32There's a USB-C port, as well as Touch ID on the top.
06:34There is no 120Hz display, so it's like a regular poverty motion screen,
06:38and there's also no mini LED, which would have been nice,
06:41but I feel like at this price point, I wouldn't have expected anything different.
06:45Okay, the last thing, the new Apple Watch.
06:48So it's got thinner bezels,
06:50it doesn't have that leaked design that we saw floating around on the internet.
06:53I don't know if that thing was real, or if that's coming in the future,
06:55or if that was just a big troll, but it doesn't look like that.
06:58That's all that I know.
06:59The new thinner bezels with the brighter screen,
07:01I think that's a reasonable motivator for people that had an older version
07:04to upgrade to this one.
07:06A bigger screen is always nice, but for me,
07:08the faster charge time is most interesting.
07:10Anytime I've ever had an Apple Watch, I've always had problems keeping it charged.
07:13I'm bad with that stuff.
07:14I'm just not good at keeping my devices charged.
07:17Faster charge time, I like that.
07:19Okay, that's the Apple lineup. What do you think?
07:21Hope you guys enjoyed this video.
07:22Thumbs if you liked it, subs if you loved it.
07:24See you guys next time.
