"IPhone 13" series, nice points and disappointing points

Apple announced "iPhone 13", "iPhone 13 Mini", "iPhone 13 Pro" and "iPhone 13 Pro Max".The mini, which had been reported to be sluggish, has been successfully continued, and has a lineup of four models like the previous model.Although it is difficult to understand the change at a glance, the display of 13 Pro / 13 Pro Max is also compatible with variable refresh rates up to 120Hz, including "A15 Bionic".It is an impression that it has evolved steadily, such as catching up the trend and adding a unique function like an iPhone.The following is a summary of the points that I was interested in with personal perspectives.

Nice point: 13 Pro and Pro Max support macro shooting

First, from 13 Pro / 13 Pro Max.There was a difference between the 12 Pro and the 12 Pro Max of the previous model, such as the sensor size of the camera and the focal length of the telephoto lens, but between the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max this time.lost.One of the personal nice points is that you can choose purely in the display size.

The camera has evolved, such as sensor size, bright angle lens brightness, and focal length of telephoto lenses, making it brighter, wider, and beautiful than the previous model.Of particular interest is to respond to macro shooting.Recently, I often use iPhone for product shooting, so I am grateful that I can get to the minimum of 2cm with an ultra -wide -angle camera.It is still equipped with LIDAR scanners, and it seems that you can shoot portraits at night beautifully.

Nice point: New camera function that stimulates creativity

The camera has evolved not only at 13 Pro / 13 Pro Max, but also on 13/13 mini, the optical image stabilization function has been enhanced, and new features like iPhone have been added."Photograph style", which allows you to adjust the color and brightness of the photos to your preference, and the "Cinematic mode" that allows you to take full -fledged blurred images by video shooting, is a function you definitely want to try.In particular, the cinematic mode that can adjust the focus later is quite worrisome even for the writer who does not usually shoot video.I am looking forward to how this function stimulates the user's creativity as well as the function itself.It would be fun if a video like a movie was posted on the SNS timeline.

This time, because the functions of photos and videos have been enhanced, large -capacity models such as 512GB for 13 and 13 mini, 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max are also available in large -capacity models.I'm glad that the choices have increased, but on the other hand, if you want to back up this completely, it is annoying that you need the appropriate iCloud capacity.If you want to back up to a PC, you want a higher-speed USB Type-C terminal, but the Lightning connector is still used.

Unfortunate point: No USB Type-C terminal or fingerprint authentication

I personally expected this USB Type-C to update the biometric authentication.As my mask life continued for a while, I thought it would be nice to use a power button -integrated fingerprint authentication sensor, such as the "iPad mini (6th generation)" announced at the same time, but I thought it would be nice to use it.Was only Face ID.I'm an Apple Watch user, so even if you're a mask, you can unlock with an iPhone and Watch, but those who don't want to switch to other smartphones equipped with fingerprint authentication.Then ...?I am worried.

Another point is that while the battery has become 1.5 to 2.5 hours longer this time, it is a great point that the whole thickness is increasing and heavy.The abundance of accessories is also the charm of the iPhone.Considering that there are many users who use the case, the 13 Pro Max is particularly the limit.If you are wondering which four models to use, it seems better to pay attention to the weight, including the functions and display sizes.

If you buy it yourself, the "iPhone 13 Pro" Sierra Blue, the capacity is 256GB

I personally plan to buy it on iPhone 13 Pro Sierra Blue, 256GB.Currently I use the iPhone 12 Pro Max, but I feel that it is big and heavy in my hand, and it is harsh to be heavier.Also, as I wrote earlier, the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max have no functional differences other than the panel size and battery capacity, and except for the large screen, it is an iPhone 13 Pro even if you consider the price.

I am currently using 256GB of storage capacity, but I can afford it, so I think that 256GB will be enough next time.However, the uneasy factor is that the cinematic mode is fun, and if you start taking a lot of videos, you may be missing.
