TheiPhone 13 Pro andiPhone 13 Pro Max aresmartphones developed and marketed byApple. They were the flagship smartphones in thefifteenth generation of theiPhone, succeeding theiPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max respectively. The devices were unveiled alongside theiPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini at anApple Special Event atApple Park inCupertino, California on September 14, 2021, and became available ten days later, on September 24.[13][14] They were discontinued on September 7, 2022, as well as theiPhone 11 andiPhone 12 mini, following the announcement of theiPhone 14 andiPhone 14 Pro.
Major upgrades over its predecessor include improved battery life, improved cameras andcomputational photography, rack focus for video in a new "Cinematic Mode" at 1080p 30 fps,Apple ProRes video recording, a smaller notch by almost 20%, a newA15 Bionicsystem on a chip, and a variable 10–120Hz display, marketed as ProMotion.[14]
The successor to the iPhone 12 Pro models began in development to make the size of the notch 20% smaller as thanks to the front-firing speaker placed into the upper edge from the True-Depth sensor housing and utilizing the display refresh rate up to 120 Hz for smoother motion found. According to the early released rumors, the color options of the iPhone 13 Pro models were including Sunset Gold (a new Gold color option), Rosé (a rename of Gold), Pearl (rename of the Silver) and Matte Black.[15] However, Apple Inc. announced that no Sunset Gold color option of the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max would be unveiled, which Sierra Blue color option of the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max would be instead unveiled on the September Event.[16]
The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max were officially announced alongside theninth-generation iPad,6th generation iPad Mini,Apple Watch Series 7,iPhone 13, and iPhone 13 Mini by a virtual press event filmed and recorded atApple Park inCupertino, California on September 14, 2021.

The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max use an Apple-designedA15 Bionic processor featuring a 16-core neural engine, 6-core CPU (with 2 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores), and 5-core GPU.[25] The A15 Bionic also contains a newimage processor.[26]
The iPhone 13 Pro got an Antutu Score, or Antutu Benchmark Score of 846,433, which makes its graphic loading smooth.[27]
More 5G bands are available to support more carriers, especially outside the US.[28]
The iPhone 13 Pro has a 6.06 inch (154 mm) (marketed as 6.1-inch (150 mm))OLED display with a resolution of 2532 × 1170 pixels (2.9 megapixels) at 460 PPI, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max has a 6.68 inch (170 mm) (marketed as 6.7-inch (170 mm)) OLED display with a resolution of 2778 × 1284 pixels (3.5 megapixels) at 458 PPI. Both models have the Super Retina XDR OLED display with improved typical brightness up to 1,000 nits from 800 nits, and max brightness up to 1,200 nits, and a variable 10–120 Hz ProMotion display, which can also go as low as 10 Hz to preserve battery. The ProMotion name was previously used on theiPad Pro (2nd Generation) and later models.[14]
Apple claims up to 1.5 more hours of battery life on the iPhone 13 Pro, and 2.5 more hours on the 13 Pro Max than their respective predecessors. Rated capacities are 11.97 Wh (3,095 mAh) on the iPhone 13 Pro an increase from the 10.78 Wh (2,815 mAh) battery found in theiPhone 12 Pro, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max is rated at 16.75 Wh (4,352 mAh) another increase from the 14.13 Wh (3,687 mAh) battery found in theiPhone 12 Pro Max.[29][30] Both models can charge withMagSafe up to 15 W,Qi wireless charging up to 7.5 W, and Lightning up to 20-23 W for the Pro model, 20-27 W for the Pro Max model.[31]
The iPhone 13 Pro features four cameras: one front-facing camera forselfie and three rear-facing cameras which includes a telephoto, wide, and ultra-wide camera. The rear-facing cameras all contain larger sensors than the iPhone 12 Pro, allowing for more light-gathering. The wide and ultra-wide also have larger apertures to capture more light and increase low-light performance. The ultra-wide camera also has autofocus for the first time. The 77 mm telephoto has a smaller aperture than the 12 Pro's, but has the advantage of being able to use Night Mode. The larger telephoto also increases the digital zoom capability to 15x.[14]
The cameras use a newcomputational photography engine, called Smart HDR 4. Smart HDR 4 processes recognized faces in photos separately using local adjustments. Users can also choose from a range of photographic styles during capture, including rich contrast, vibrant, warm, and cool. Apple clarifies this is different than afilter because it works intelligently with the image processing algorithm during capture to apply local adjustments to an image.[32]
The camera app contains a new mode called Cinematic Mode, which allows users torack focus between subjects and create a shallow depth of field using software algorithms. It is supported on wide, telephoto, and front-facing cameras in 1080p at 30 fps. Apple also added in iOS 15.1 the ability to record inApple ProRes 4K at 30 fps and 1080p at 60 fps for models with at least 256 GB of storage, however base models with 128 GB of storage will be limited to ProRes recording at 1080p at 30 fps.[33]
The camera features a macro mode that can focus as close as 2 centimeters from a subject. It utilizes the autofocus from the ultra-wide camera and is automatically enabled when close enough to a subject.[34]
iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max originally shipped withiOS 15. They received theiOS 16 update, which was released on September 12, 2022, andiOS 17, which was released on September 18, 2023.[35] The Qi2 wireless charging standard has been added to the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max with the update to iOS 17.2.[36] They are also compatible withiOS 18 released in late 2024.[37]
These phones support the current public release of iOS, which is currentlyiOS 26.[38]
