This aperture will gather enough light for night shots. Also it has 1/1.28″ sensor size. The bigger the sensor, the better night shots.
  • The focusing system is dual pixel PDAF (Phase dedection). But of course it can’t focus faster than LDAF (Laser autofocus). And this main camera has sensor-shift OIS. But what is the sensor-shift? It’s different from normal OIS. The sensor moves along with the lens. 2nd lens has is 3x telephoto lens. It has 12MP resolution and f/2.8 aperture. Of course night shots will be worse than main camera. 3rd lens is ultrawide lens. it has wide angle up to 120 degrees. And iPhone has lidar sensor (TOF). Generally using for calculating depth of portrait photos and focus. Also Apple uses this on FaceID.
  • On video side, iPhone can record 4K@24/25/30/60 FPS videos. Apple’s A16 Bionic processor still doesn’t support 8K video recording. But it can record 10-bit Dolby Vision HDR videos up to 4K@60 FPS. Also it can take cinematic videos.
  • Cinematic mode can be called portrait video for short. The main goal is to keep the object in focus and blur the remaining objects. Also iPhone can record ProRes videos. Apple ProRes is a high quality, “visually lossless” lossy video compression format developed by Apple Inc.
  • Front camera of iPhone it’s 12MP. And it has f/1.9 aperture. The front camera uses SL 3D technology to focus. This means uses FaceID’s sensors. Thanks to this sensors, it can record cinematic video on front camera. Also it supports up to 4K@60 FPS video recording.

Thanks to OIS, the shake will be reduced to the minimum level in the videos you shoot. 2nd camera is 3.2x telephoto lens. It has f/2.0 aperture. The combination of 3.2X telephoto zoom and 50MP resolution will deliver a great photo without losing details. 3rd camera is ultrawide camera. But this camera is only 115 degrees wide angle.
  • On video side, Xiaomi can record up to 8K@24 FPS with HDR. And also supports HDR 10+ with Dolby Vision. GyroEIS along with OIS helps to prevent video shake. But it hasn’t cinematic mode on front and back camera. This is a necessary feature for professionals.
  • Xiaomi 13 Pro’s front camera is 32MP. And only recording 1080@30 FPS videos. Not recording even 4K@30 FPS videos. It would make more sense to offer 60 FPS video support to the front camera instead of adding 8K to the rear camera.
