The design of iPhones plays a crucial role in enjoying a stylish mobile. The iPhone 13 is distinguished by its photo sensors arranged in a square at the top left of the rear shell, a sober and familiar aesthetic. Available in pink, white, green, blue, red and black, its aluminum frame and matte finishes impart classic elegance. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max also adopt this arrangement of photo sensors, inscribed in a square at the top left, but are differentiated by a titanium frame, offering increased robustness and a more premium finish. These two models are offered in black, blue, white and natural. The profile of the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max is slightly thicker than that of the iPhone 13, but all share sharp lines and a design consistent with Apple’s visual identity.
In terms of dimensions, the iPhone 13 offers balanced measurements but the iPhone 15 Pro is slightly more compact although thicker. The iPhone 15 Pro Max, on the other hand, is the largest and heaviest.
Which is the most powerful and what configurations for photos?
In terms of power, the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, equipped with the Apple A17 Pro processor and 8GB of RAM, outperform the iPhone 13 with its Apple A15 processor and 4GB of RAM. Storage also varies, with the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models offering up to 1TB, while the iPhone 13 offers up to 512GB, with no possibility of expansion via microSD card for all models.
In terms of photography, the iPhone 15 Pro Max stands out with a 48-megapixel optically stabilized main sensor, accompanied by three other 12-megapixel sensors (ultra wide-angle and telephoto with 2x and 5x optical zoom), offering exceptional shooting quality. The similar iPhone 15 Pro offers an additional 3x optical zoom. The iPhone 13, with its two 12-megapixel optically stabilized sensors, offers good photographic performance but less sophisticated than the Pro models. All share a 12-megapixel selfie sensor.
What is the best screen and what connectivity?
Regarding the screens, the iPhone 15 Pro Max offers a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with a definition of 1290×2796 pixels, a refresh rate of 120 Hz, and a maximum brightness of 2000 cd/m², offering an exceptional visual experience. Following closely behind is the iPhone 15 Pro, with a 6.1-inch AMOLED screen, 1179×2556 pixels and the same frequency and brightness characteristics. The iPhone 13, with a 6.1-inch AMOLED screen, 1170×2532 pixels, and a refresh rate of 60 Hz, offers good display quality, although less fluid compared to the Pro models. Thus, the iPhone 15 Pro Max stands out for those looking for the best screen quality, followed by the iPhone 15 Pro and finally the iPhone 13.
In terms of connectivity, the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max feature Wi-Fi 6E, while the iPhone 13 supports the slightly slower Wi-Fi 6. All are compatible with 5G, NFC, and Bluetooth 5.3, without a headphone jack. All three models have an IP68 certification, guaranteeing total resistance to water and dust. Neither model offers a fingerprint reader, relying solely on facial recognition for security.
Finally, the autonomy of iPhones is directly influenced by the capacity of their battery. The iPhone 13 has a 3227 mAh battery, offering good battery life for daily use. The iPhone 15 Pro, with a 3274 mAh battery, promises similar battery life, slightly improved thanks to software optimizations. The iPhone 15 Pro Max, equipped with a 4422 mAh battery, offers the best battery life of the three, ideal for intensive users. In terms of charging, the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max support 27 watts of charging power, slightly faster than the iPhone 13. All models offer wireless charging and reverse charging, adding flexibility useful for recharging other compatible devices.
