During what sometimes feels like a never– ending cycle of incremental upgrades to the iPhone, the iPhone 13 Pro could rank as the most incremental upgrade ever (ignoring the non–numeric S models). But wait, this is also the best iPhone ever. Huh? Bear with us. Last year’s iPhone 12 Pro was pretty darn great already, so there wasn’t really a big requirement to totally redesign it. Instead, Apple has finessed it in several key ways, and in the process made it a bit, erm, chunky… more on that later.

Probably the most noticeable upgrade from last year’s handset is battery longevity. The iPhone 12 Pro certainly wasn’t bad by any means — we easily managed about a day’s use before snapping it on to a MagSafe before bed time — but it wasn’t top of the class either. According to Apple, the iPhone 13 Pro gains an extra 5 hours of video playback per charge — up to 22 hours now. Certainly, at the end of a day we noticed the battery bar still well over half a tank, as apposed to less than a quarter. So that’s pretty incredible news. The battery boost is most likely down to the increased capacity of the unit — up from 1,078 mAh to 1,197 mAh, according to iFixit’s teardown.

Even more impressive is the battery life of the 13 Pro’s bigger brother, the iPhone 13 Pro Max, which thanks to a bigger battery now sports a massive 28 hours of video playback — a boost of eight hours over the old model, and six more than the 13 Pro. If you’re wondering which handset to choose, other than the bigger screen size (it’s the same 6.7–inch diagonal as the 12 Pro Max), the battery life is the only thing that’s different. So there you go.
