The anticipated Apple iPhone 13 event unveiling a slew of new devices.
The whole slew of new iPhone 13 has been unveiled, with big changes to the iPad mini, a refreshed 10.2-inch iPad and a new Apple Watch Series 7.
The iPhone 13 series gets the new A15 Bionic chip – a six-core CPU with two high-performance cores, four high-efficiency cores and a quad-core GPU.
TL;DR; summary of new Apple devices, local prices, availability and specs from Apple’s Tuesday event.
The back cameras have been upgraded with wider apertures and new video features, including a Cinematic mode, which transits in-shooting focus smoothly from one subject to another.
There is also a macro lens, and smarter software to recognise skin tones to enable adjustments in tone and warmth filters.
Apple boasts that the iPhone 13 will have a longer battery life than its predecessor, despite its faster chip, 5G, better cameras and new features.
It is also intelligent enough to conserve power consumption by switching to LTE “when 5G speeds aren’t needed”.
Siri will also rely less on the Internet, with many requests being processed on the device.
The refreshed 10.2-inch iPad now has the A13 Bionic chip which is 20% faster than the A12.
The iPad mini foregoes the home button and has a larger 8.3-inch True Tone display.
The new Apple Watch Series 7 will have a larger display – 20% & 50% larger than the Series 6 & Series 3 respectively – even though the physical dimensions of the watch have barely increased.
The new watch is priced at US$279 although international prices have not been announced.
