Apple has celebrated this Tuesday one of the most anticipated technological events of the year.
In it, the protagonists have been its new iPhone 13. In total, the Cupertino company has announced four mobiles: iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.
The new terminals, in addition to a brand-new processor, stand out for their improved screens and cameras, especially in low-light environments.
The design of the iPhone 13 is quite similar to its predecessors.
Although they maintain a square format with flat sides, in this case the
notch -
the visible mark that is usually at the top of the mobile screen and houses the front camera - becomes somewhat smaller.
The size of the screens of the new Apple terminals is also preserved.
The iPhone 13 Mini is 5.4 inches;
that of the iPhone 13, 6.1 inches;
that of the iPhone 13 Pro, 6.1 inches;
and that of the iPhone 13 Pro Max, 6.7 inches.

In addition, as indicated by the main leaks, the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max finally incorporate a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The refresh rate is the number of times the screen is updated per second. The higher it is, the smoother the scrolling between screens and animations. Although more battery is also used. Last year, the main high-end mobile phones of the competition already incorporated refresh rates that reached 120 Hz. But all the iPhone 12s stayed at 60 Hz. Now the apple company takes its chest out with its two most powerful terminals.
But, if the iPhone stands out year after year for something, it is because of the photographic section. The iPhone 13 keep the square camera module on the back. The iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13 have two sensors - an angle and an ultra wide angle - of 12 megapixels each that are located diagonally. Its older brothers, the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, are somewhat more ambitious.
Apple ensures that with its three cameras - a main sensor, a telephoto lens and an ultra wide angle - "photos and videos are achieved without shaking even if the user is moving." One of the tech giant's priorities in recent years has been to improve photography in dark environments. These terminals, in addition to including night mode in all cameras, have a new wide angle that offers low light performance up to 2.2 times more powerful than the iPhone 12 Pro.
Apple wants any user to be able to immortalize "cinema-quality moments even without professional experience."
To do this, the new iPhones incorporate a
cinematic mode
that allows people, pets and objects to be recorded with a depth effect and automatic focus changes.
In theory, with this mode the terminal could anticipate and focus on anyone who enters the scene.
