The Cinematic video mode on the iPhone 13 Pro Max is so good that you’ll feel like a mini Spielberg.

ProRes support for more creative control.Cinematic mode steals the show with automatic focus and bokeh.iPhone 13 Pro Max review: Video and Cinematic mode Neither image looks very sharp, but the iPhone delivers a more accurate pink and brighter green leaves. To test the iPhone 13 Pro Max in low light I shot these hydrangea flowers at night in nearly complete darkness. But I give a slight edge to the new iPhone because of the detail in the rock and especially the ripples in the water. When it comes to ultrawide photos, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is neck and neck with the Galaxy S21 Ultra here. My face and blue shirt look brighter with the new iPhone while I get a little bit lost in the shadows with last year’s camera. The iPhone 13 Pro Max’s bigger sensor shines in this selfie comparison with the iPhone 12 Pro Max. At least the iPhone 13 Pro Max’s 15x zoom is better than the 12x max digital zoom on the iPhone 12 Pro Max. And at 15x digital zoom, the writing on the boat looks sharper in the Samsung shot. Zooming in on some boats at 3x, I prefer the slightly brighter images from the S21 Ultra in this case. The iPhone’s photo more accurately captures the translucence of the water while making the surrounding rocks pop, while the Galaxy S21 Ultra’s pic looks flat by comparison.ĭespite a jump from 2.5 to 3x for the telephoto zoom on the iPhone 13 Pro Max, it’s still behind Samsung’s best. The more complex a photo is, the more the iPhone 13 Pro Max shines, as evidenced by this comparison shot taken near the edge of the water. And if you’re hanging on to an older phone like the iPhone 11 Pro, you can see how much better the new iPhone is I come out dark and fuzzy in this shot. My face and green shirt are both brighter. The iPhone 13 Pro Max takes a more pleasing portrait of me standing in front of the Manasquan reservoir. However, Samsung’s photo is a bit brighter overall. The iPhone 13 Pro Max captures a more vibrant sign in the foreground and the pumpkins themselves look more vibrant than in the Galaxy S21 Ultra’s shot. Take this photo of pumpkins, which has the sun overhead and a fair amount of shadow. In terms of overall image quality, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is a step ahead of the other best camera phones. Your options include standard, rich contrast, vibrant, warm, cool. Just bear in mind, the macro mode can at times be fiddly to use, with it being fussy and jerky when triggering automatically, but Apple is working on a fix.Īnother new iPhone 13 camera feature is Photographic styles, which lets you choose how you want your photos to look in terms of tone and warmth. And I got real close to this dreaded spotted lanternfly crawling in the rocks I could even make out each of its legs and fine lines in its wings. The iPhone 13 Pro Max also did a superb job capturing this purple pansy, with rich color and lots of details in the petals. For one, the camera array is larger than before, so it takes up a bit more real estate on the back of the phone. The iPhone 13 Pro Max retains the flat edges of the iPhone 12 Pro Max but looks a bit different. Smaller notch but a bit heavier than iPhone 12 Pro Max.iPhone 13 Pro Max review: Design and colors And we’re tracking the best iPhone 13 deals to help you save some money on this rather pricey Apple phone.
