The new Photographic Styles feature and Cinematic mode both impress too, though we suspect they might not be massively used by most buyers. Apple's smart AI optimization is also out in force here, with the company's Deep Fusion used to tweak your pictures to make them as wonderful as possible. Low light performance particularly impressed us in our tests, and that's something that iPhones are known for, but whatever type of shot you’re aiming for, the iPhone 13 Pro or Pro Max should be able to do it justice. And, while they lack a dedicated macro lens, they’re still competent at taking close-up photos. While they don’t have the lens numbers or optical zoom length of some phones on this list, their performance is sublime. They both have the same cameras, and their key difference is the phone screen size, which is why we've bundled them into one.

The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are stunning camera phones, each packing a 12MP f/1.5 main sensor with big 1.9µm pixels, a 12MP f/1.8 ultra-wide, and a 12MP f/2.8 telephoto, with 3x optical zoom.
