Summary
Comparison: iPhone 13 Pro or iPhone 12 Pro?
A new notch
The year 2021 is quite hollow in terms of aesthetic change in the iPhone range.Unlike 2020, no revolution.The iPhone 13 Pro looks like the iPhone 12 Pro.It resumes its angular borders, with their shiny appearance, the matt back, the Apple logo placed in the center and the square photo module with its three sensors.The differences in design between iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 12 PRO concern colors and the front part with the notch.
This is how Apple worked on the optimization of its sensors for Faceid, its secure 3D facial recognition system.In essence, the whole is smaller, in order to reduce the size of the notch which occupies part of the screen.During its keynote, Apple talked about a 20 % reduction in its size between iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro.Customers will therefore have a larger screen although the slab does not change with the previous generation: its diagonal is still 6.1 inches (6.7 inches for the iPhone 13 Pro Max).

Color
The dimensions of the product are the same: Apple did not make any modification, where certain rumors spoke of a greater thickness.The iPhone 13 Pro measures 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.7 mm for a certainly the most optimal format of all smartphones in terms of handling, according to our tests.
The colors change as we have just said and the customers will be able to enjoy a new iPhone 13 pro with blue clarified in the face of that of the iPhone 12 Pro.Some customers explained that they had tired of the blue of their iPhone and this new version seems more dynamic and discreet.You can order it in white, gray and gold.
Technical characteristics: the comparison
Apple presented its new A15 Bionic chip on the occasion of the release of its new iPhone 13.This is engraved in 5 nm, with 6 hearts including two high performance and 4 high efficiency.The GPU incorporates 4 calculation hearts.The “Neural Engine” feature is also more powerful.Unsurprisingly, the A15 Bionic flea performed against the A14 Bionic chip.The iPhone 13 Pro offers better performance than the iPhone 13 after Apple.Before entering our comparison of these technical elements, the camera, the battery and the storage of the iPhone 13 Pro against the 12 pro, here is a small comparison of their technical sheet.

Why the iPhone 13 Pro screen is exceptional
Design does not change, but the technological capacities of the iPhone 13 Pro progress.Starting with the screen.Apple has still passed a course.The new Super Retina XDR OLED slab increases its maximum brightness type of 800 to 1000 nits (1200 nits in HDR).Its resolution of 2532 x 1170 pixels offers a 460 ppi ratio, just excellent.But Apple went further to compete with Android devices with its new "promotion" technology.We explain this change to you here.
"Promotion" is the new technology that offers a 120 Hz refresh rate, beyond 60 HZ of the previous iPhone 12 Pro.Only the iPhone 13 Pro is enjoying it for the moment.The generation did not democratize technology at the standard iPhone 13.As a result, customers will find a much more fluid display, which is felt by scrolling on social networks, watching a video, or by playing mobile games.

To go further than Android devices, the iPhone 13 Pro screen does not just increase the fluidity of its screen.The refresh rate is variable, continuously.Thus, without any animation on the screen (looking at a photo for example), the rate can fall up to 10 Hz to save battery.
Camera: size change
Let's continue in this comparison between iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro with the three photo sensors module located at the back of the two smartphones.A size change is present, for the simple reason that Apple presented its most important sensors on the iPhone 13 Pro.These are larger to capture more details.Thanks to this change, the objectives have increased their opening size to bring more light.The main objective goes from a maximum opening ƒ/1.6 at a maximum opening ƒ/1.5.The ultra-wide-angle lens goes from ƒ/2.4 to ƒ/1.8.
Here are the sensors of the iPhone 13 Pro:

The other change concerns the arrival of the stabilization of the sensor, in addition to that of the objective, to produce videos of the professional order and without shock.It is precisely accompanied by the arrival of a software functionality called the "Cinematic" mode.It is an intelligent autofocus tool to be able to pass the focus from one subject to another automatically without any effort. By ailleurs, avec l’ouverture des objectifs plus large, l’effet bokeh est lui aussi plus important.The visual rendering of the photos and videos of the iPhone 13 Pro is exceptional.
iPhone 12 pro or 13 pro: autonomy and battery
If the iPhone 13 Pro marks points with its photo and video improvements, when is it from the battery?Apple has announced an increase in the autonomy of the iPhone 13 Pro compared to that of the iPhone 12 Pro.It is around an hour and a half according to the data provided by the brand.The explanation comes from the size of the accumulator and the improvement of components, more efficient.The iPhone 13 Pro can last up to 10 p.m. wireless video reading.
Apple follows the same strategy as last year: no charger is integrated into the packaging.If you need a new one, you will have to go through the purchase of the accessory.Otherwise, the Lightning port and the charging power of the brand's chargers are compatible with the new devices.The 20 W charger allows you to recover 50 % of the autonomy in just 30 minutes.
Up to 1 to storage
One of the latest major news of the iPhone 13 Pro compared to the iPhone 12 PRO concerns the range of versions available.As usual, prices vary depending on the storage space.This year, the iPhone 13 Pro inaugurates a new version with 1 TB of internal storage capacity.The iPhone 12 Pro stops at 512 GB, or twice as.The other versions are as follows:
IPhone 13 Pro storage range:
With the changes in photo and video, Apple does well to attach importance to the storage of its smartphones.Moreover, the evolution of internal storage spaces penalizes the basic version, at 128 GB, which cannot film with the new Prore format in 4K.Its customers will have to limit itself to a format of 1080p.
Price: iPhone 13 Pro or iPhone 12 Pro?
The iPhone 12 Pro is no longer available on the Apple Store from the presentation of the iPhone 13 Pro.Apple removed it at the same time as the iPhone XR.That said, it is always available at several e-merchants and its price is sometimes more advantageous than those of Apple.But should we prefer the iPhone 12 Pro or the iPhone 13 Pro?The prices of the new Apple smartphone are the same, they start at € 1159.What leave the customers of the old version of iPhone to be pleased to pay the same price as what the iPhone 12 pro customers had paid last year.

Comparison: the balance sheet
As we understand at Press-Citron, the iPhone 13 Pro is intended for a clientele who had not bought the iPhone 12 Pro.All customers under iPhone 11, iPhone X and previous version who had not renewed their device will be able to benefit from an improved copy of the iPhone 12 Pro, for a price that does not change.
The photo services of the iPhone 13 Pro are in progress on those of the iPhone 12 Pro.Only the iPhone 12 Pro Max could compete, with its stabilization of the sensor which made it possible to get closer to a pro hand in hand lifted.Autonomy improves, power too, and on a daily basis, the 120 Hz Promotion screen will be a real plus.
