All the little iPhone 13 details you may have missed | MacMegasite

Apple had plenty of new stuff to announce during its September “California Streaming” event: new iPads, four iPhone 13 models, Apple Watch Series 7, and even some new Apple Fitness+ stuff. It’s a lot to be excited about if you’re an Apple fan, so much so that you might have missed some of the fine print.

There's some good stuff and some gotchas. Especially when it comes to the cameras. If you're thinking of buying the iPhone 13 for photography or video making, you'd better read this. For example, the new Cinematic Mode is limited to 1080p and 30fps! One of the first things you learn as a videographer or cinematographer is that cinema, films, movies, run at 24fps. You shoot footage at 30fps and it can look clinically, digitally clean. And converting 30fps to 24fps just makes things worse.

And, while we're on the subject, Apple referred to the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max as having a "3x optical zoom". For the vast majority of photographers and videographers, this means that the camera can actually zoom into the image optically, from one focal length to another. I have yet to check this out, but in previous models the lenses were fixed-focus; or so I thought.
