Apple iPhone 13 Pro (512GB) - Gold

Product Information

Refurbishment procedures follow the same basic technical guidelines as Apple's Finished Goods testing procedures. You’ve got the choice of 128GB, 256GB, 512GB or 1TB of storage on the iPhone 13 Pro. We wouldn’t recommend going for the 1TB option unless you really think you need that extra space – for example if you shoot a lot of video – while at the other end of the scale many users could find 128GB a bit limiting, but most people will be well served by either of the two middle options. The matte finish on the rear feels distinctly premium, especially when compared to the normal glass on the iPhone 13.

The faster refresh rate worked well with apps that support it though, and it’s a change you’ll notice when scrolling through Apple’s menus or apps made by the company. It’s not reason enough on its own to upgrade, but it’s a worthwhile feature, and will become more so as support is added for more apps.The 6.1-inch iPhone 13 Pro display comes with Apple's industry-leading Super Retina XDR tech with ProMotion, an adaptive refresh rate that goes up to 120Hz. The higher the refresh rate, the smoother the scrolling, the faster the action and the better the viewing experience. How good is the iPhone 13 Pro camera? The iPhone 13 Pro has three cameras, including an ultrawide lens with improved low-light photography, a 3x optical zoom and night mode available to use on all three lenses. So the iPhone 13 Pro is a remarkably good smartphone – but so are all the iPhone 13 handsets, and if your budget won’t quite stretch to the Pro, the ‘standard’ iPhone 13 misses out on only a few of its specs and features, so you may find the cheaper handset suits you just fine. The iPhone 15 Pro has some flashy new features including a 48MP camera for higher resolution photos. For video recording, the iPhone 13 Pro is capable of 4K at 24, 30 and 60 frames per second, while for Full HD it can shoot at 30, 60, 120 and 240 frames per second.

The display has rounded corners that follow a beautiful curved design, and these corners are within a standard rectangle. When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screen is 6.06 inches (iPhone 13 Pro), or 6.68 inches (iPhone 13 Pro Max) diagonally. Actual viewable area is less. Battery life on the iPhone 13 Pro is better than we’ve seen on previous Pro handsets from the brand, but it’s not as good as you’ll get from the top-end iPhone 13 Pro Max. The phone supports fast charging up to 20 watts (depending on what type of charger you use), which should be able to charge the phone from empty to full in just an hour. We found that 15 minutes of charging gave us 25% battery, while 30 minutes got us to 53%. The right-hand edge of the handset houses the power button, while the left-hand side is home to the mute slider, volume buttons and SIM tray. On the bottom edge of the handset are the speakers, and a Lightning port for charging. To support these top-tier specs, the iPhone 15 Pro runs on the A17 Bionic chip – a big jump in processing power from the A15 that runs the iPhone 13 Pro.

In our time with the iPhone 13 Pro we’ve found the design to feel good in the hand; it has a touch more heft than the iPhone 13, which helps it sit in our hand comfortably.

Unlike a filter, these apply adjustments to different elements of the image rather than the photo as a whole. The idea here is that you can add a custom look to your images – for example warming up portraits or enhancing the colors in landscapes. Apple revolutionised personal technology with the introduction of the Macintosh in 1984. Today, Apple leads the world in innovation with iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV. Apple’s five software platforms — iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS — provide seamless experiences across all Apple devices and empower people with breakthrough services including the App Store, Apple Music, Apple Pay and iCloud. Apple’s more than 100,000 employees are dedicated to making the best products on earth, and to leaving the world better than we found it.

The iPhone 13 Pro has a 6.1-inch OLED screen which is boosted by Apple's sturdy Ceramic Shield, so it keeps your screen free from bumps and scrapes. Yes, the iPhone 13 Pro is available with some networks with either unlimited data or an extremely high data cap of 30GB+. However, you should keep in mind that this does significantly drive up the monthly cost of your contract. A15 Bionic in the iPhone 13 Pro lineup is even more advanced, offering impressive power and efficiency, and driving the incredible new display, camera, and video features never before possible on iPhone. With 5-nanometre technology, A15 Bionic — the fastest chip in a smartphone — features a new 5-core GPU in the Pro lineup that brings the fastest graphics performance in any smartphone, up to 50 percent faster than the leading competition, ideal for video apps, high-performance gaming, and the slate of new camera features. The new 6-core CPU with two new high-performance cores and four new high-efficiency cores, is up to 50 percent faster than the competition and handles demanding tasks smoothly and efficiently. A new 16-core Neural Engine capable of 15.8 trillion operations per second enables even faster machine learning computations for third-party app experiences, as well as features like Live Text in Camera with iOS 15. And major advancements to the next-generation ISP provide improved noise reduction and tone mapping. includes either the Operating System originally shipped with the unit or, in some cases, a more recent version. With new sensors and lenses for all three rear cameras, optimised to work seamlessly with iOS 15 and powered by the new image signal processor (ISP) in A15 Bionic for improved noise reduction and tone mapping, the iPhone 13 Pro lineup features the best camera system ever on iPhone. The all-new Wide camera has a larger sensor with 1.9 µm pixels, the largest ever on iPhone, for less noise and faster shutter speeds needed across lighting conditions, producing even more detailed photos. Coupled with the larger ƒ/1.5 aperture, the Wide camera on iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max offers a massive improvement in low-light situations, up to 2.2x when compared to iPhone 12 Pro, and nearly 1.5x when compared to iPhone 12 Pro Max. Sensor-shift optical image stabilisation (OIS) — unique to iPhone — is available on both models, stabilising the sensor instead of the lens, so images are smooth and video is steady, even when the user is not.

The macro feature is also included on video, joining slow motion and time-lapse to really enhance your clips.

Minor upgrades, but a great-looking package

It's a feature that’s likely to prove popular with filmmakers, vloggers and other content creators, although probably of less interest to those who only shoot the occasional video. Right now, it's a bit like the first iteration of Portrait mode for photos, but we're expecting it to improve rapidly over subsequent generations.
