8 things Apple did not say in the presentation of the iPhone 13
- Adrián Raya
The iPhone 13 presentation event had no pause, but still, there were some data and details that Apple let.
This is not something weird in the company, which usually focuses on the most surprising or pointers of its new products, treating presentations as extended advertising rather than a symposium of its devices.It is inevitable that something falls from the presentation and, usually, they are usually the 'bad things';Although this year, Apple also skipped some good.
The iPhone 13 is heavier and thick
Aesthetically, it may seem that the iPhone 13 is identical to the iPhone 12, except in the 'notch' and the cameras;But that is not totally true.Although the basic design is the same, Apple explained that it does not use the same chassis due to internal differences, including the largest battery size.
Sin embargo, lo que Apple no dijo es que ese cambio supone que los nuevos iPhone son más pesados y gruesos que sus antecesores; aunque la diferencia es tan nimia que probablemente nadie se daría cuenta:
iPhone 13 Mini: 141 grams- iPhone 12 Mini: 135 grams
iPhone 13: 174 grams iPhone 12: 164 grams
iPhone 13 Pro: 204 grams iPhone 12 Pro: 189 grams
iPhone 13 Pro max: 240 grams iPhone 12 pro max: 228 grams
Therefore, the biggest difference is 15 grams between the pro -mobile versions. Además, todos los modelos tienen un grosor 0,25 mm mayor que la versión anterior.
The notch occupies more vertical space
Another difference in the design will be in the 'notch' or notch, the controversial 'mustache' on the screen that houses the front camera, in addition to the necessary sensors for Faceid. Tal y como se rumoreaba, el 'notch' del iPhone 13 es más estrecho, por lo que tenemos más espacio a los lados y de frente, el móvil se ve diferente respecto al iPhone 12.
However, as they reveal in 9to5Mac, the new 'notch' is also a little higher.At first glance it is difficult to distinguish it, but if we compare it directly with that of the iPhone 12, we will see that the notch drops a little more, probably 1 mm;Without the mobile in the hands, it is difficult to say if that will really affect the experience, but it is curious that Apple has not been able to avoid this.
Dual Esim arrives
Desde el iPhone XR, Apple permite usar una eSIM, o tarjeta SIM virtual como la venden algunas operadoras, ya que no requiere una tarjeta física sino que se almacena en la memoria del dispositivo.That allowed us to use a normal Sim and an ESIM at the same time, but the double SIM was only possible in China.
A partir del iPhone 13, podremos usar dos eSIM al mismo tiempo, por lo que podremos tener dos números de teléfono incluso contratados con operadoras diferentes.It is not dual sim with two physical cards, but at least we have this option
Video recording limitations
El vídeo fue el gran protagonista de la jornada, con funciones como el nuevo modo Cine que nos permite grabar con un efecto de profundidad inteligente; sin embargo, Apple no aclaró que este modo sólo está disponible a resolución 1080p y 30 frames por segundo, lo que repercutirá en la nitidez de los vídeos grabados.
In addition, although Apple announced the prison format support, used by professionals, in reality the highest quality will only be available on the iPhone with more storage: the 128 GB models will be limited to 1080p and 30 frames per second when recording in this format.
Goodbye to iPhone XR
With the arrival of the iPhone 13, the Apple smartphones range is larger than ever;That is why the company has decided to stop selling the iPhone XR, which was its most veteran model and that was still offered as a cheaper entry point.
The iPhone XR has thus survived three generations, an achievement that says a lot about its quality.From now on, the iPhone 11 will be the most accessible main model available (for $ 499), above the iPhone I know that it is still the cheapest ($ 399).
The iPhone 12 is still selling
What perhaps surprise you more is that the iPhone 12 will not disappear with the arrival of the iPhone 13, and Apple will continue to sell it with prices that will start from the $ 599 for the Mini.In this way, Apple's 'staircase' part of the $ 399 to $ 699 of the iPhone 13 Mini, and from there there is a jump to 999 dollars of the iPhone 13 Pro.
Es algo llamativo, teniendo en cuenta las pocas diferencias entre el iPhone 12 y el iPhone 13; probablemente muchos compradores optarán por pagar 100 dólares menos, pero ese seguramente es el plan de Apple.
The one who has not survived is the iPhone 12 Pro, nor its Max version: both versions are stopped selling.
The Apple Watch Series 7 is not a new model
Many were expected more from the new Apple Watch Series 7, especially after the large number of rumors that spoke of a complete redesign.Reality has turned out to be more normal, and although there is a change in design, with a larger screen, it remains the same as always, in every way.
De hecho, el Watch Series 7 es tan parecido al Series 6 que incluso usa el mismo procesador y, como se ha descubierto, incluso tiene el mismo número de modelo.To that we must add that he uses the same sensors.Therefore, Apple considers it more as a review than a new model.
iOS 15 already has a release date
Many we want more when Tim Cook said goodbye and closed the presentation.Apparently, he 'forgot' to announce the launch date of iOS 15, the new version of the system, something surprising considering that the iPhone 13 will be the first device that will bring it by default.
Al menos, Apple solucionó eso poco después, anunciando que iOS 15 llegará el 20 de septiembre, curiosamente, antes que el iPhone 13.The decision may have been affected by the launch yesterday of iOS 14.8, an update that covers serious system bugs.
As expected, iOS 15 will be compatible with all iPhone from the iPhone 6s, a veteran who has been supporting six years.
