For most people who are considering purchasing "iPhone" so far, we have recommended standard models instead of "PRO" series.This year's Apple's model change can recommend the standard model with even more confidence.
In the "iPhone 13" series, the minimum storage capacity was increased to 128GB for all models.In addition, the camera of all models is equipped with a sensor shift type image stabilization mechanism, reducing a slight camera shake, allowing you to take clear photos in dark places.In the past, it was a function dedicated to the iPhone's "Pro" series.
"Cinematic mode", which is my favorite new feature, is not a function limited to some models.The "WIRED" US version has already reviewed "iPhone 13" and "iPhone 13 Mini", so if you want to know more about the reason why you probably don't need it, please take a look.

Nevertheless, some people may have purchased the iPhone 13 Pro Max because they want the largest, best, and the latest models that can be purchased.That's not a bad decision.The $ 999 (from 122,800 yen in Japan) and the $ 1,099 (from 134,800 yen in Japan) are both excellent smartphones with special functions.is.
However, the important thing is that there are few special functions.Improvements from the "iPhone 12 Pro" series are very welcome, but both are on the extension of conventional functions.
The biggest reason to select an iPhone 13 Pro or iPhone 13 Pro Max with a function other than a camera is a technology called "Promotion Technology."This function, which Apple adopted for the first time in the iPad Pro in 2017, has a refresh rate of 120Hz.Simply put, the number of images (frames) displayed in the iPhone screen in one second is doubled from 60 to 120, and the video is displayed smoothly.
With Android smartphones, it can be said that Apple is regaining delay, as inexpensive terminals have long been achieved high refresh rate.However, in the iPhone 13 Pro Series, the refresh rate is automatically adjusted in consideration of the instant operation by the user and the speed when the finger touches the screen.
For example, on a stationary home screen, a refresh rate probably exceeds 10Hz.When you are browsing Instagram, it rises to 120Hz.
Automatically adjusting the refresh rate in this way can save power consumption.If you run at 120Hz at all times, the decrease in the battery will become intense.Compared to the iPhone 12 Pro Max, you can feel the smoothness of the screen.Everything feels a little smooth.
If you are particular about the largest screen size, choose an iPhone 13 Pro Max with a large 6.7 -inch large screen.The iPhone equipped with the largest display often has special functions compared to normal "Pro", so we always recommend "PRO MAX".
