[Ken Fujimoto's Digital Audio Laboratory] Verifying the audio performance and MIDI compatibility of the "iPhone 13 Pro"-AV Watch

Due to the influence of Korona-ka, the announcement and release of the iPhone was slightly delayed in 2020, but the latest model was announced and released in September as usual.

As the author, who replaces the iPhone 12 with a new model every year, the iPhone 12's practical life has ended short, and I felt like it was a waste, but I made a reservation for the iPhone 13 Pro as before. Actually, I used to use the au shop until last year, but the person in charge of the store in the neighborhood became a part-time worker, so the acquisition of the iPhone 12 was delayed. This year, I switched to the Apple store and was able to get it on the day of its release.

I bought it without looking into the details, so when I opened the package, I thought, "Oh, it looks the same," but when I brought it, it was somehow heavy. Looking at the product information in detail for the first time, the iPhone 12 Pro weighed 187g, but the iPhone 13 Pro weighs 203g, which is slightly heavier. Even when I actually measured it, it was 203.72g, which is a difference of only 16g, but it feels quite heavy.

It doesn't seem to be the same size as the iPhone 12 Pro I've been using so far, and it looks exactly like the iPhone 12 Pro. I wondered if the previous case could be used as it is, but it doesn't fit perfectly. If you look closely, the positions of the buttons on the left and right sides are misaligned, and the iPhone 12 Pro case did not fit.

The lens part on the back is a big factor that does not fit more than the left and right buttons. The third lens is bigger than the iPhone 12 Pro and has a higher bulge.

The change in the lens part seems to be a factor of 16g ​​increase at the same time as the case did not fit. However, it seems that the camera performance has improved significantly due to the huge size of this lens. By all means, I would like to expect that the sound will also improve. However, Apple's product information does not mention "evolution of sound", so I wonder if excessive expectations are prohibited.
