iPhone 13

I shot an entire Photowalk episode with iPhone 13’s “Cinematic Mode,” and I’m impressed

The reaction I’ve gotten from people watching my latest #shotonaniPhone Photowalks video episode has been across the board.

“What camera did you use to shoot this? It looks amazing.” That was the first comment. My sentiment too.

This is related to the one key new feature of the latest iPhone, which is “Cinematic Mode.” It allows the photographer to blur the background as we do in Portrait Mode for iPhone stills, or by shooting with a small F stop on our cameras.

The iPhone 13 lineup is the latest from the Apple camp and the iPhone 13 Pro has seen a few nice updates over its 12th generation predecessor. It’s got the new A15 Bionic processor, adaptive refresh up to 120Hz, up to a third longer battery life and a new camera module – sort of. It’s similar to the old one, but chunkier.

As per usual, the folks at iFixit have taken an iPhone 13 Pro apart and published their disassembly process along with some of their tests and findings. And despite the improvements, it’s not all good news. Right to repair is definitely not at the forefront with this device.

There’s been a lot of hype about the camera in the latest crop of iPhones from Apple. And it seems that it’s been somewhat justified. At least, certainly more justified than past iPhone releases, that have turned out to not be quite as good as most of their Android contemporaries. The new iPhones look to have seen some decent camera upgrades.

With the iPhone 13, there are four different models, offering a couple of different camera arrays and Apple’s put together this seven-and-a-half-minute video to help you figure out which model is right for you. While the video does talk about other factors like battery performance and construction, the overwhelming majority of the video is focused on its photography and video abilities.

Apple announced the launch of the new iPhone 13 range yesterday, and its camera is a real game-changer, particularly for videographers. With new features such as a wide-angle and macro lens, plus 3x telephoto zoom and a dedicated cinematography video mode, could this be the beginning of the end for bulky DSLRs and mirrorless cameras?

The phone boasts many impressive attributes such as a 1TB storage, 5G, and extended battery life. Additionally, for photographers and content creators, several features will be very exciting.
