iPhone 13 series launched in India come with some major camera and battery life improvements. At the Apple event, the company revealed that the new iPhone 13 camera sensors are larger than the outgoing iPhone 12 models, resulting in better lowlight performance. However, Apple did not deep dive into the technical specifications of the new iPhone 13 camera. A new report has now revealed the details of the camera sensors found on the top-end iPhone 13 Pro Max model.
According to a blogger Weibo, the iPhone 13 Pro Max features Sony sensors. The report states that all three 12MP sensors on the iPhone 13 Pro Max have a Sony 7-series lens. On the other hand, the ToF sensor and the front camera sensor are the same ones found on the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
The main 12MP camera, which has an f/1.5 aperture and a 26mm focal length, uses a Sony IMX703 sensor. It has a 1.9 μm pixel size and comes with support for sensor-shift optical image stabilisation (OIS). The 12MP ultrawide camera on the Pro Max model has a 13mm focal length and features a 6P lens. Apple has used Sony’s IMX772 sensor for the 12MP ultrawide camera on the iPhone 13 Pro Max. This same camera comes with support for autofocus as well.
The 12MP telephoto camera with 3x zoom and sensor-shift OIS uses the Sony IMX713 sensor. It comes with an f/2.8 aperture and has a 6P lens. The ToF sensor used on the Pro series is a Sony IMX590, which was found on the predecessor models as well. Lastly, the 12MP front camera on the iPhone 13 Pro Max has a Sony IMX514 sensor.
The new iPhone 13 series went on sale last week and the iPhone 13 Pro Max with 1TB storage capacity is the most expensive smartphone launched by Apple this year. Although the smartphone may look similar to the company’s previous flagship iPhone 12 Pro Max, it gets a better camera, A15 Bionic chipset and improved battery life.
As per the company, the new processor is 50% faster as compared to its rivals available in the market. The flagship also features a Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion featuring an adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz and it is available in four colour options – Graphite, Gold, Silver and Sierra Blue.
