As is typical with Apple iPhone releases, the lineup usually consists of two standard devices along with two Pro models. The standard models include the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 mini, while the pro set is made up of the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max. While all the devices in the iPhone 13 series have plenty to offer, the pro models provide users with a few extras.
iPhone 13 TELUS
All four devices featured in the iPhone 13 set are available at TELUS and can be combined with an unlimited data plan. All of the models are constructed with a powerful processor chip and a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display. There are also some differences between the pro and standard devices that you may want to consider before making a selection.
iPhone 13 vs iPhone 13 Pro
Let’s take a look at some feature comparisons to get more detail about the similarities and differences between the two.
Display
The display on the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro both feature the same technology and dimensions. The 6.1” super retina screen has a resolution of 2532 x 1170 pixels which works out to 460 pixels per inch. The pro models offer a little more brightness, however, delivering a max brightness of 1000 nits compared to the 800 nits provided with the standard devices. When viewing HDR content, all four devices offer a max brightness of 1200 nits.
One display feature unique to the pro models is Pro Motion technology. This technology delivers adaptive refresh rates up to 120 Hz depending on the task being executed.
Design
All devices in the iPhone 13 series feature a sleek yet durable design for optimal user comfort and performance. Each unit in the set offers edge to edge display with flat side edges and durable Gorilla Glass for drop and scratch resistance. They are also all rated IP68 for water resistance, safeguarding the devices against splashes and spills.
One design difference between the pro and standard models is the body build. The iPhone 13 is constructed with aerospace-grade aluminum while the iPhone 13 Pro is made of surgical-grade stainless steel. This makes the pro models slightly heavier and more robust.
Power
The entire iPhone 13 collection is fitted with an extremely powerful A15 Bionic processor chip. The 16-core neural engine delivers machine learning and AI intelligence for a range of applications and multi-tasking capabilities. iPhone 13 devices feature 4GB of RAM while the pro models offer 6GB of RAM.
Battery
The batteries have been upgraded on all iPhone 13 models. While the batteries on all the devices provide similar run times, there are some slight differences. Both standard and pro models offer up to 75 hours of audio playback. The pro models provide up to 22 hours of video playback, while the standard units offer 19 hours.
Cameras
This is where some fairly significant differences start to emerge between the pro and standard iPhone 13 devices. That said, the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini have still received significant camera upgrades and are capable of taking professional grade photos.
