The Leaks were Wrong! - Apple iPhone 13 Event Breakdown

The iPhone 13 and 13 Mini Leaked Features: What to Expect

Firstly, going by the leaks, it seems that these are some pretty solid additions to the iPhone lineup. You're firstly going to be getting an updated wide angle camera that will capture 47 more light as well as an updated ultra wide camera that'll now support night mode. This is definitely a welcome change for users who want better low-light photography capabilities.

The camera system is also getting some significant upgrades, with the addition of optical image stabilization (OIS). OIS is a feature that helps to reduce camera shake and blur by stabilizing the lens, resulting in sharper images. Apple's latest lineup will be able to take advantage of this technology, providing users with even better photo quality.

The video features are another major area where the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini seem to have made significant upgrades. Apple then started showing off some new video features for the iPhone 13 lineup, including their new cinematic video mode. This feature enables you to actively track and focus on different people within the frame whoever you choose. There's also some software-based depth of field effects that you can play with beforehand and after the fact when you're editing.

Cinematic mode will record all video in Dolby Vision HDR, which is a significant upgrade from last year's feature. This means that users will be able to capture stunning video footage with more vivid colors and better contrast. The improved battery life department is also worth mentioning, as the leaks suggested that the improved battery life is a combination of the A15 Bionic processor, a larger battery, and software optimization.

According to Apple, the battery isn't even going to be big enough to discuss the numerical size difference between this year and last year. So, we'll have to see how much better it actually is when we get our hands on it later next week. This focus on internal upgrades rather than hardware changes suggests that Apple is looking to improve the overall performance and efficiency of its devices.

The iPhone 13 and 13 Mini are very much an S-year type of upgrade, with a range of new features and improvements that will make them more appealing to users. The prices haven't changed, which is a relief for those who don't want to break the bank on a new phone.

Finally, Apple capped off the event by announcing the new iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max. These devices are going to come in a new Sierra Blue color that looks really clean. The pros have that slightly smaller notch just like the regular 13 and 13 mini. You're also getting more camera upgrades on the pro models, including a new 77 millimeter telephoto lens with three times optical zoom.

The A15 Bionic CPU is also making an appearance in these devices, which will provide improved performance and efficiency. The ultra-wide camera will also be able to shoot photos in a new macro mode, which promises to capture stunning close-up shots of small objects. There's also a new photographic styles feature that allows users to apply different presets to their photos.

The video side of things for the pro models is also getting some significant upgrades, with the addition of ProRes video recording and slow-mo macro video mode. This will be a really cool feature for professional video shooters who want an end-to-end pro workflow. The improved battery life in both models is also worth mentioning, as well as the new one terabyte storage option.

The biggest news, however, is that all 13 models will be available to order this Friday with the release on September 24th next week. This means that users can get their hands on these new devices sooner rather than later.

hardware announcements in a surprise turn starting with the ipad they announced the ipad 9 firstly and like the rumor suggested this isn't a major overhaul by any means the biggest update here is the new a13 bionic processor this makes the ipad about 20 faster which is nice to see and you're gonna get all the benefits that come with the a13 like the upgraded camera performance and in an even more surprising turn apple revealed an updated 12 megapixel ultra wide angle camera capable of center stage so this feature is no longer exclusive to the m1 ipad pros which is nice to see you're also going to be getting an updated true tone display the resolution will just stay the same though it's just going to have true tone capability now and then the cherry on top is the elimination of 32 gigabytes in favor of 64 gigabytes for the same price as last year to start and it'll be available to order today with it shipping next week you're never supposed to expect a gigantic update for the regular ipad model so all the refinements that have been added to this year's model in addition to the fact that the price is staying the same is good by me so definitely be on the lookout for our review on the channel as i've got mine on order apple then went on to announce the ipad mini i didn't think it would get announced this soon but they unveiled the full redesigned ipad mini which is basically now a baby ipad air and like the rumor suggested it's got the top mounted volume buttons and the ipad mini will not have the exact same colors as the ipad air as some might have expected you're actually going to get a pink purple and starlight color options for the ipad mini and none of them are jiving with me personally but that's what the space gray is for you're also getting the a15 bionic cpu and usbc just like the ipad air the rear camera now has a 12 megapixel sensor with an f 1.8 aperture and just like the ipad 9 you're getting the 12 megapixel ultra wide angle front facing camera with center stage and of course with the redesign the mini will also come with support for the apple pencil too which is why the volume mountains are top mounted and with all of that for a starting price of 4.99 it's not exactly a mega bargain and i was afraid the price was gonna go up with all the upgrades they were making but i'd say it's a reasonable price point for everything you're getting the mini is available to order today right now and we'll be shipping next week moving on to the apple watch they finally reveal the same oh wait is not the same it's a this is a new watch yeah okay gotcha yeah the leaks surrounding the design were mostly wrong you've got 40 thinner borders on the display but it's just as round as ever as far as i'm concerned the display is also substantially brighter and you're going to be getting 33 faster charging and better dust resistance and then you're getting five new colors including this new green color which is very reminiscent of the midnight green iphone 11 pro and we're not getting ceramic apple watches this time around but we are getting titanium apple watches with its own set of colors overall this is a pretty minor upgrade like the rumor suggested and even more minor because there really wasn't a redesign at all and a lot of people a lot of credible people corroborated this leak so i'm extremely surprised quite honestly the apple watch is going to be coming later this fall according to apple and for the same starting price as the series six so be on the lookout for that later this year they didn't provide any month or concrete date my guess would be probably late october apple then went on to finally announce the iphone 13 lineup and as the leak suggested the iphone 13 is pretty much what we expected as far as it being an s-tier upgrade this year firstly there's five new colors for the regular 13 and 13 mini you've got a pink blue midnight star light and a slightly different product red iphone 13 this time around and just as leaked we've got a slightly smaller notch on the display and speaking of the display it's essentially the same you're going to be getting the same super retina xdr display with a 28 brightness increase up to 800 nits you are however getting an updated cpu in the form of the a15 bionic this processor is marginally faster in all the same areas you'd expect increased computing power a faster neural engine and new video encoders and decoders the cameras on the 13 and 13 mini have also been updated just like the leak suggested although it's nothing crazy i think these are some pretty solid additions you're firstly going to be getting an updated wide angle camera that will capture 47 more light as well as an updated ultra wide camera that'll now support night mode and then the cherry on top here is the addition of ois for the camera system apple then started showing off some new video features for the iphone 13 lineup including their new cinematic video mode and this is probably the biggest update in the video department since they announced hdr last year this feature enables you to actively track and focus on different people within the frame whoever you choose and then there's some software-based depth of field effects that you can play with beforehand and after the fact when you're editing and cinematic mode will record all video in dolby vision hdr because hdr for the win they also made improvements in the battery life department as well as all the leaks suggested the improved battery life is a combination of the a15 bionic processor a larger battery and software optimization according to apple and based on the way they worded it sounds like the battery isn't even going to be big enough to discuss the numerical size difference between this year and last year so we'll have to see how much better it actually is when we get our hands on it later next week but that's pretty much it as far as upgrades for the iphone 13 and 13 mini like we said this is very much an s year type of upgrade the prices haven't changed though so that's cool and then apple finally capped off the event by announcing the new iphone 13 pro and 13 pro max it's going to come in this new sierra blue color which looks really really clean the pros have that slightly smaller notch just like the regular 13 and 13 mini and we finally got promotion on an iphone this was the feature that literally everyone following the leaks was looking forward to the most and i'm glad we at least got it on the pro models this year it's about time you're of course also getting the a15 bionic cpu and even more camera upgrades on the pro models you're getting a new 77 millimeter telephoto lens with three times optical zoom and a new sensor for the ultra wide angle camera which enables night mode the ultrawide camera will also be able to shoot photos in a new macro mode they also announced a new photographic styles feature which is basically just apple made presets for your photos not anything crazy on the video side of things you're getting a few cool features like a slow-mo macro video mode and then you're getting prores video recording and this is a really cool feature for professional video shooters who want an end-to-end pro workflow that's going to be a really cool feature to test out you're getting an improved battery in both models just like with the regular 13s and they snuck in the addition of a one terabyte storage option at the very end and you're getting all of this for the same price as last year all 13 models will be available to order this friday with the release on september 24th next week and that's your apple event folks a lot of things didn't make it to the fold that we thought would like airpods we got no air pods no redesign apple watch no always on display for the iphone but i'd say everything that was announced was pretty solid nonetheless but you know the drill folks be sure to subscribe to the
