Apple iPhone 13 Pro review: Is it still the Apple of your eye?

Septembers are special, and you don’t need to be a gadget geek or tech freak to have this month marked out on the calendar. Why? It’s that time of the year when Apple introduces the world to a new set of iPhones. We got our hands on the new device and from the get-go, you note two things—it’s one of the costliest smartphones in the Indian market and the iPhone 13 Pro has all the features every iPhone enthusiast wants. But more on that later, let’s first take a closer look at the design.

Apple iPhone 13 Pro review: Subtle but Sophisticated

One of the chief charges that Apple faced with this launch was that it has become a little stagnant when it comes to the design of the iPhones. To a certain extent, all companies have become design stagnant. However, when it comes to the iPhone 13 Pro, while it does look a little like the 11th and the 12th versions, the trained eye will notice subtle differences. Apple enthusiasts should look at it as a challenge, how well do you know the brand to notice these changes. iphone-13-pro-top For starters, the square frame with rounded curves for the exterior shell feels familiar, but it looks a lot more premium than before. (At least in the golden variant that we are testing, this becomes apparent easily.) The camera module at the back has changed slightly, and the notch on the front of the device, which we were hoping would be done away with, this time has thankfully become smaller. A new sierra blue colour variant has been added to the line-up, which stands out for being bold and brilliant. iphone-13-pro-back

The Display

The Apple iPhone 13 Pro sports a 6.1-inch super Retina XDR OLED HDR10 ready display that supports a 120Hz refresh rate. What does that imply? It means everything on the screen will be faster. The scrolling experience will buttery smooth. The one place and you will feel the difference is when you will scroll through Instagram posts, Facebook feeds or other social media platforms. The colours on Apple iPhone 13 Pro seem brighter, the text on the screen is sharper and our experience with platforms such as Netflix and Prime videos was great. This is something that none of the Android smartphones provides. Moreover, if like me you love to play games, the touchscreen of the Apple iPhone 13 Pro is by far the best in the current gen of phones.

Apple iPhone 13 Pro review: Performance Parameters

Under the hood, Apple has put the latest Bionic A15 chipset that is the latest and the fastest from the company. This is coupled with up to 1 TB of storage, so all those who were bickering about the brand, not including a memory card slot in the iPhone can simply buy a larger storage driven iPhone 13 Pro. The RAM and battery size have been bumped up and together with the latest CPU from Apple, the smartphone can open the most intense of games and apps in a blink of an eye. Battery life has become better in the Apple iPhone 13 Pro, too. You will get a few additional hours of playtime if you compare it to the previous version. Also, iPhone 13 Pro is water and dust resistant and comes with an iOS 15 operating system out of the box.

Finger Clicking Good

iphone-13-pro-cameras-rear The Apple iPhone 13 Pro has triple 12 MP cameras that take care of ultra-wide, wide, and telephoto shooting experience. There is a TOF 3D LiDAR sensor included, which is great for adding depth to images. This has become better and the depth in shots is far superior when compared to its previous gen.
Low light shot
Not to forget, the imagery has become much better from all three camera sensors. In our test, we got to see exceptional results in the day and at night. There was hardly a time of the day that we could not adjust the settings and get the shot we wanted from the phone. A new cinematic video mode has been added in the native camera app that will adjust the subject focus automatically. If there are two subjects in the video and one looks away from the camera the focus will automatically move on to the other person. Which by the way can be shot in 4K at 60FPS (frames per second).  Macro photography has also been added to the new iPhone, which clicks very good up close and personal images. The front camera is also powered by a 12MP sensor and can take wide-angle shots. We loved the selfie experience of the Apple iPhone 13 Pro. We got fabulous Instagram-share worthy shots during the day and at night. The camera does perfect justice to your skin tone and adjusts according to the ambient light.

Apple iPhone 13 Pro review: Verdict

It boils down to this: at Rs 1,49,000 (512GB model) it the Apple iPhone 13 Pro worth buying? Yes, if you are looking for the best cameras in a smartphone. Yes, if you want brilliant performance and display. Yes, if you like to game a lot. However, there is just one ‘no’. If you don’t fall into any of the above categories and are using an iPhone 12 Pro version, then you might want to skip this gen and pick the next one. But if you are using iPhone 11 variants or lower, the Apple iPhone 13 Pro is the perfect upgrade for you.

Pros:

Excellent Display Brilliant performance Premium built

Cons:

Notch still there Seen looks

Best ways to get dark mode on older iPhones

Apple gives support to all their devices for many years, but after a period of time, it leaves it. Support includes iOS updates and security updates. Recently debarred was the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Apple officially announced that it is leaving support for both phones while the iPhone 6S is still hanging by a thread. It’s appreciated that the company is still supporting a 6 years old phone.  With the updates stopped on the older iPhone the latest features are not included in the software. One of the most trending features is Dark mode, which was introduced in iOS 13 so obviously, iPhone 6 didn’t get it. But do you still want to get a dark mode like experience? Here are tricks you can use.

Invert Colours

The best way through which you can achieve a dark mode like experience is by using inverted colours. To enable it to follow the below steps.

Display Accommodation in Older iPhones Step 4 – Turn on Invert colours. Invert colours in older iPhones In the same option, you will be having two options
  • Smart Invert – Will give a more dark mode like experience while not inverting all the colours
  • Classic Invert – This will completely reverse all the colours.
Colour invert in Older iPhones

The “other” method

Though this is never recommended especially with older phones as if things went wrong you will be left with an expensive paperweight. Try rooting your iPhone, we advise you not to try it if you don’t have any experience with it and doing so will void the warranty(which would have been already finished by the time).  If your iPhone is already rooted try using Cydia. In the application head to Sources>Add>Packix APT. In Packix search for carbon dark mode.  Click install and confirm. After the installation is finished you can see system-wide dark mode just like the newer iPhones.  Read Also: Whatsapp to finally release Dark Mode This is all for the best ways with which you can get dark mode on your older iPhones. The first mode is the safest and the Dark mode for the Ui at least can be achieved by the smart invert option.

Facebook’s appearance has changed, name rebranded to Meta

Facebook has changed its name to Meta, the firm released a statement saying, in a name change that seeks to create the “metaverse,” a mutual virtual experience that it claims to believe to become the leader of internet services. The company was facing laws and regulations introspection because of its dominant position in the market.  As Facebook has been rebranded to ‘Meta’, so its popular logo has also been replaced with an infinity symbol. The company’s founder at Connect 2021, CEO Mark Zuckerberg introduced the Meta. With the rebranding, the company aims to bring its apps and technologies under one new company brand. “Meta’s focus will be to bring the metaverse to life and help people connect, find communities and grow businesses,” the company stated.  As per the company, it will let you share immersive experiences with other people even when you can’t be together — and do things together you couldn’t do in the physical world. It’s the next evolution in a long line of social technologies, and it’s ushering in a new chapter for our company.  Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg said, “When I started Facebook, we mostly typed text on websites. When we got phones with cameras, the internet became more visual and mobile. As connections got faster, the video became a richer way to share experiences. We’ve gone from desktop to web to mobile; from text to photos to video. But this isn’t the end of the line. The next platform will be even more immersive — and embodied internet where you’re in the experience, not just looking at it. We call this the metaverse, and it will touch every product we build.” Facebook changes its name to Meta Just like Facebook the Metaverse will allow you to do almost anything from connecting with friends and family to playing, shopping and creating. The company says that it chose Meta because it can mean beyond. While the symbol/logo has been drawn from a single line in space using the company’s Quest technology, the Meta symbol forms a continuous loop that works seamlessly between 2D and 3D contexts. It is designed to be experienced from different perspectives and interacted with. It can resemble an M for “Meta,” and also at times an infinity sign, symbolizing infinite horizons in the metaverse. Sharing more about its vision Mark says that the firm has tried to take a different approach so that its services are accessible to as many people as possible, which means working to make them cost less, not more. Also, the company is planning to sell its devices at cost or subsidized to make them available to more people. Apart from this, the rebranding of Facebook to Meta will not affect its apps and other brands.  For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on TwitterFacebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel.
