The best iphone ever

 Not just the best iPhone ever, but also the one with the 'biggest camera updte ever' - that would be this year's iPhone 13 Pro, which we have here in Max size. Joining those larger and better cameras, we have a high refresh rate display, more battery, the mandatory chipset upgrade - the 13 Pro Max ticks all the boxes for improving everything that's important. We're here to see by just how much.

The advancements in the camera system start with a new primary unit with a bigger sensor and a brighter lens. The ultrawide module also sports a brighter lens, but one that features autofocus - a first for an iPhone ultrawide. Then there's the telephoto which now offers improved reach up to 3x, albeit with a slightly dimmer lens. On the front, things have remained the same, and no, the 20% reduction in notch size doesn't count.

Finally giving in to market trends, Apple's fitted the 13 Pro and Pro Max with 120Hz displays - or, rather, ProMotion. They're the adaptive kind, theoretically capable of variable refresh rates to reach all the way down to 10Hz to preserve battery. That's in addition to an already great screen feature set that includes DolbyVision support, plenty of brightness and excellent color rendition.

Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max review

2021 iPhones all come with increased battery capacity, and in the 13 Pro Max' case, that's an 18% bump - 2.5 hours more than last year's Pro Max in Apple's metrics, or 'longest battery life ever on an iPhone', and all that.

As usual, a new year means an upgraded chipset, and alongside freshly named CPU cores and higher clock rate, the A15 in the 13 Pros also comes with an extra GPU core on top of the non-Pros. Somewhat related, the 13 Pro Max can be specced with up to a full 1TB of storage - that should be useful for iPhone filmmakers if no one else.

Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max unboxing

This one is easy - there's not a whole lot to unbox. The slimline packaging introduced in 2020 (with barebones contents too) is now followed up with the removal of the plastic sleeve as this year's contribution to the environment.

Samsung Galaxy S22ultra gets 45W charger

  Samsung will bring back the 45W charging standard to its smartphones, starting with the   Galaxy S22 Ultra,   leakster Roland Quandt reveals. He shared an image of the new PD charger with the model number EP-T4510, which will obviously be sold separately. The travel charger will come with a USB-C to USB-C cable in the retail package, according to the leaked image. If the leakster is correct, this would mean we'll once again see a Galaxy smartphone with 45W charging. The last one was the  Galaxy S20 Ultra , introduced in February 2020. Back then the 45W charger would throttle extremely quickly and barely made any difference in charging speeds compared to the 25W one. The current 45W adapter looks very similar, and also comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable. The main difference on the outside is the smaller size of the upcoming EP-T4510 compared to the current EP-TA845XBNG. The included cable will be 1.8 meters long, which is longer than the current 1-meter cable. The cu...

Iphone 14 will have a punch hole display

  Reports about Apple bringing a punch-hole screen to the iPhone 14 series   are not new , but another insider doubled down on them during the weekend. Mark Gurman, Editor at Bloomberg who specializes in Apple products, revealed in his latest podcast Power On he expects Apple to ditch the notch on some 2022 devices. The new year will also bring us a redesigned MacBook Air with an M2 chip and wireless charging for the 2022 iPad Pro. When/if the iPhone 14 series comes with a punch-hole solution, FaceID will likely make it under the display. Apple has been working on the technology for quite some time, and it is likely to appear during the launch in the fall. Gurman claimed the new M2 chip would be “marginally faster” than the M1. It should have an octa-core CPU and 9- or 10-core GPU, which would be an upgrade over the 8-core GPU on the current Air. A new, internally-developed chip is also expected for the Mac Pro and an AR/VR headset, which is likely to make an appearance at WWD...
