iOS Tips and Power Tools: iPhone 12 Pro V iPhone 13 Pro - It is worth the upgrade?

The iPhone 13 went official and it has been on sale since September. The design did not change so much, but the new series comes with a handful of upgrades in several departments. While the iPhone 13 Pro and the other variants went on sale for the first time, the price of the iPhone 12 series dropped and led them to offer a higher value for money. Is it worth spending more money on the new models or it makes more sense to save money to get a model from the previous generation? After comparing the vanilla iPhone 13 to the iPhone 12, we decided to publish a comparison between the specifications of the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro in order to give you a complete idea about the Pro variants.






iPhone 12 Pro vs iPhone 13 Pro screen
The iPhone Pro screens have always been the most advanced and brightest, with deep, rich colours. With the iPhone 13 Pro you get more brightness and a unique feature: ProMotion, or high refresh rate.
The iPhone 13 Pro's screen brightness is 1000 nits while the iPhone 12 Pro's screen is 800 nits. This will be particularly noticeable when using the iPhone outdoors in bright light.ProMotion has arrived on the iPhone 13 Pro's screen. This technology adapts the screen's refresh rate to the content you are viewing or interacting with (scrolling through a timeline, playing a game etc.). The iPhone 12 Pro refreshes 60 times per second, the iPhone 13 Pro goes up to 120 times per second. This is an incredible improvement in fluidity and smoothness. Do you know the best thing? It actually saves battery, rather than wasting more of it. When the screen is idle, the rate drops to 10 times per second.




iPhone 12 Pro vs iPhone 13 Pro : camera
It's time to talk about the real treasure of an iPhone - the camera. Both models have three cameras, although there are substantial differences between the iPhone 12 Pro & the iPhone 13 Pro:
The main camera (x1) captures 2.2 times more light on the iPhone 13 Pro compared to the iPhone 12 Pro.The iPhone 13 Pro's ultra-wide-angle (x0.5) camera captures 92% more light compared to the iPhone 12's ultra-wide-angle camera. Yes, you read that correctly, 92%. It also has a macro function. That is, with this camera you will be able to take pictures 2 cm away from objects. Ideal for close-up shots of flowers, water droplets... a whole new world of photography opens up thanks to the macro mode.The telephoto camera now has a x3 zoom on the iPhone 13 Pro, while the iPhone 12 Pro has a x2 zoom.
hen it comes to recording video, the iPhone 13 Pro introduces Cinema Mode, a new feature that lets you record video like a pro with blur effects and transitions between different shots. This is unlike any other smartphone on the market, and it comes with the iPhone 13 Pro.
Related to video recording, the iPhone 13 Pro has a stabiliser directly on the sensor, while the iPhone 12 Pro has it on the optics. You will notice this difference if you record a lot of videos on the move: action, sports, walking vlogs, etc.

The iPhone 12 Pro & iPhone 13 Pro processor and battery
Processor and battery life go hand in hand. The iPhone 12 Pro has the A14 Chip, and the iPhone 13 Pro has the A15 Chip. Both are the fastest processors in any smartphone, so you won't find a difference between them. What is noticeable is the efficiency of the A15, which allows the iPhone 13 Pro to have a longer battery life.
The iPhone 12 Pro lasts up to 17 hours of internet browsing while the iPhone 13 Pro lasts up to 22 hours. A five-hour increase!

Tech Review: iPhone 13 review: Apple delivers a delightful upgrade #drphonenz #iPhonerepair #nzrepair

The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini aren't radically different, but that's part of the charm.

The iPhone 13 and 13 Mini received a number of significant upgrades including new cameras, a bigger battery, more storage and a brighter screen. The iPhone 13 is a delightful upgrade to last year's already wonderful iPhone 12 family. Some will be disappointed because it's not radically different from previous models, but that's actually part of the charm. Familiarity has been one of the keys to Apple's success with the iPhone, and the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini are those same reliable friends that seemingly never change.

The iPhone 13 starts at $829 (£779, AU$1,349) and the 13 Mini at $729 (£679, AU$1,199). That's for the base model, which comes with 128GB of storage. If you buy and activate your phone on a carrier plan, that price drops by $30, and that's before adding on the impressive deals from carriers.

For all intents and purposes Apple launched two phones in 2021: The iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 Pro. If you want a small version of the iPhone 13, get an iPhone 13 Mini. If you need an iPhone 13 Pro with a bigger screen and battery, get the 13 Pro Max. I spent five days testing all four phones and decided to share my results in two reviews. This one covers the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini; I wrote a separate one on the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max. You can also compare all four iPhone 13 models here.

Last year's iPhone 12 is still around at a lower price. If you're upgrading from an iPhone 11 or older, remember the iPhone 12 with 128GB of storage is only $50 less than the iPhone 13. That means it's easy to climb that upgrade ladder from an iPhone 12 up to a 13. Apple's clever pricing aside, you definitely get more than $50 of improvements with the 13.

I'm happy the iPhone Mini lived to see another year. If the iPhone 13 is understated, the 13 Mini just wants to be the shy kid in the corner of the sandbox. As a proud iPhone 12 Mini owner, I'm tempted to upgrade just to get the extra battery life. But whether you're due for your two-year (or more) upgrade or have been sitting on a much older phone, the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini are both solid choices.

Classic Acer ChromeBook Review: Acer #Chromebook 11 N7 C731-C8VE N16Q13 11.6" Celeron N3060 NX.GM8, 4GB, RAM 16GB #laptoprepair #drmobileslimited

Product Overview

The durability and design features of the Chromebook 11 N7 (C731) ensure that student learning can take place in a variety of environments. It can handle up to 132 pounds (60kg) of downward force on the top cover, while the reinforced case and hinges result in greater resistance to twisting and stress, even if students cram them into their backpacks. In addition, the corner-shield structure and the rubber bumper keyboard surround further protect the Chromebook, so it can tolerate drops from heights up to 48 inches (122cm). These features ensure the Chromebook will be protected whether it takes a tumble while being transported or is accidentally knocked off a desk. The anti-slip pattern on the rear case makes it easy to grip and helps prevent it from slipping out of students' hands.
