 Hey, hey, hey, what is up? Hope you're well, glad to have you on my channel. Guess what? This morning I went to the Apple store and I got the iPhone 13 Pro Max, the 256 gigabyte version. And I'm super excited to unpack this with you and also show you the difference between the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the iPhone 12 Pro Max so that you can see some of the major differences. Now I actually traded in my iPhone 11 Pro Max and got 400 bucks off it. And for someone who doesn't shoot a lot of videos, I don't think it's necessary to upgrade. I mean, I run a smartphone filmmaking channel so for me, this is like a return in investment and I think you guys would also appreciate it me making videos on the new iPhone 13 Pro Max and show you some of the advantages and also video quality improvements it has made so far. So enough of the talking, let's unpack this baby. As always, iPhone's packaging is just super nice and I can just open it up here. All right, looks so nice. So this is the Sierra blue color. The iPhone 12 Pro Max comes with a Pacific blue and I like this new color, it's nice. So let's look at it, feels good. And you also get the charging cable. This is the USB-C to lightning cable. Unfortunately, you don't get a charger. Here's some information. And you also get the SIM card ejector. So let's put that away for now and now we can take off the screen protector. You can also see that the lenses are protruding, protruding, protruding more than on the iPhone 12 Pro Max. So if I bring that into the frame, yeah, you can see that it's a little bit thicker, I guess, but overall they're quite similar in size. The iPhone 13 Pro Max should be a bit heavier. I don't really feel a difference. Let's see if it even fits with the beast grip cage. I don't think so, but we'll see. It's probably, no, it doesn't fit. So there is a little difference between the iPhone 12 Pro Max and 13 Pro Max. Would have been nice. This way I don't have to buy cages every time. So let's look at some of the major differences between these two phones. Specifically, we're gonna look at the cameras. iPhone 13 Pro Max has a larger sensor and it also comes with the A15 bionic chip. The iPhone 12 Pro Max has the A14 bionic chip. So the wide angle lens on the iPhone 12 Pro Max has an aperture of f1.6 and the iPhone 13 Pro Max wide angle lens has an aperture of f1.5 and the lower the f-stop number, the better it can handle low light situations. Using the wide angle lens on the iPhone 13 Pro Max will produce a cleaner image when shooting in low light situations. And it will also create a more blurry background or shallow depth of field, which I'm quite excited to test out soon. So the 58 millimeter telephoto lens on the iPhone 12 Pro Max comes with an aperture of f2.2 whereas on the iPhone 13 Pro Max, it comes with an aperture of 2.8 and has a focal length of 77 millimeters. So this might be a downgrade for the iPhone 13 Pro Max. It depends how you see it. It won't be as good in low light situations as the iPhone 12 Pro Max. But what you can do is you can three times optically zoom in, which I think is really great. Whereas with the iPhone 12 Pro Max, you can optically zoom in 2.5 times. Now the iPhone 13 Pro Max is also a macro lens for getting extreme closeup, which is really nice. Next is the ultra wide angle lens. Now on the iPhone 12 Pro Max, the ultra wide angle lens has an aperture of f2.2 whereas on the iPhone 13 Pro Max, the aperture has improved to AF 1.8, which is really great because I never have been a real big fan using the ultra wide angle lens and I've always used add-on lenses to get a wider angle of view. But this might change with the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Now with the iPhone 13 Pro Max, you will be able to record in ProRes 4K 30 frames per second and that codec will produce a much better image quality. Also the editing process will be flawless. It will take up a lot of storage. I should have gotten the one terabyte option but I'll have to deal with that and just transfer the footage whenever it's full even if I'm on the go. What I also like is the cinematic mode that allows you to create a shallow depth of field or blurry background in your video. What's great about this feature is that compared to the third party apps, it focuses more smoothly and you can control the aperture even after filming your video in that mode. Now unfortunately can just record 1080p in 30 frames per second and I'm quite excited to test this feature out. Now the iPhone 13 Pro Max also has a longer battery life. It's 2.5 times longer, which is great. As a mobile shooter, you want the best possible battery. With the iPhone 12 Pro Max, it lasts me around half a day when shooting with Filmic Pro but this is definitely a huge upgrade and that's why I would go with the iPhone 12 Pro Max instead of just the Pro version. Next is also the brighter display on the iPhone 13 Pro Max which should make it easier to shoot in bright sunny days. So yeah, there you have it. That was the unboxing of the iPhone 13 Pro Max and sort of the major differences between the iPhone 12 Pro Max and 13 Pro Max. Thank you so much for watching guys. I'm gonna take this phone with me and shoot some awesome videos with it. Can't wait to share it with you guys. And yeah, I wish you guys all the best. Take care and I will see you in the next video.
