iPhone 13 Pro Max Camera Modules
Nowadays, most Android phone manufacturers, to be able to demonstrate the strong performance of their new machines, like to take the initiative to announce the lens, screen, and other relevant hardware parameters of their phones at the launch, hoping to endorse their phones through top suppliers to increase the attention of users.
Apple, on the contrary, rarely reveals which supplier’s components it uses, which in turn has aroused the curiosity of digital enthusiasts. Recently, a Weibo blogger exposed some of the hardware parameters of the iPhone 13 Pro Max camera modules.
iPhone 13 Pro Max camera modules vs iPhone 12 Pro Max camera modules
| Model | iPhone 13 Pro Max | iPhone 12 Pro Max |
|---|---|---|
| Main Camera | Sony INX703, 1.9μm | Sony IMX603, 1.7μm |
| Ultra-wide-angle | Sony IMX772, 1μm, 13mm | Sony IMX372, 1μm |
| Telephoto | Sony IMX713, 1μm | Sony IMX613, 1μm |
| ToF | Sony IMX590 | Sony IMX590 |
| Front | IMX514, 1μm | IMX514, 1μm |
According to the blogger, Apple has made significant changes in the choice of camera CMOS compared to the previous generation. But the four lens sensors (3 after 1 before) are used Sony IMX series. The 12MP main camera is IMX703 (the previous generation was IMX603), the 12MP super wide-angle is IMX772 (the previous generation was IMX372), and the 12MP telephoto is IMX713 (the previous generation was IMX613), while the top is still the same IMX590 as the previous generation. In terms of the front-facing lens, Apple didn’t want to make changes and still kept the same 12MP IMX514 from the previous generation.
Combined information with official data:
- Sony INX703
- 26 mm focal length
- 1.9 μm pixels
- ƒ/1.5 aperture
- 100% Focus Pixels
- 7-element lens
- Sensor-shift OIS
- Sony IMX772
- 13 mm focal length
- ƒ/1.8 aperture
- Faster sensor
- Focus Pixels
- 6-element lens
- Sony IMX713
- 77 mm focal length
- 3x optical zoom
- ƒ/2.8 aperture
- Focus Pixels
- 6-element lens
- OIS
However, these parameters are the only representative of the iPhone 13 Pro Max in his hands and may vary from batch to batch and version to version. In addition, he also said that since Sony CMOS naming has always been more casual, you can’t compare it with the Sony IMX sensor on Android models just by the size of the number, this comparison is meaningless.
