(SPOT.ph) After months of leaks, rumors, and speculations surrounding the highly anticipated (but extremely confidential) release of Apple's next gadget lineup, the big reveal has finally arrived. On September 14, at around 10 a.m. Pacific Standard Time (that's today, September 15, 1 a.m. in the Philippines), the 2021 Apple Event officially took place. The star of the show? Without a doubt, it was the latest addition to their world famous smartphone lineup. That's right, folks: The iPhone 13 is here.
Here's your first look at the iPhone 13:
The iPhone 13 series includes four models: the iPhone 13 Mini, the iPhone 13, the iPhone 13 Pro, and the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The first two models in the lineup will be available in five new colors: Pink, Blue, Midnight, Starlight, and Product Red. They feature a dual camera system with a redesigned setup that sports diagonally arranged lenses. The back cameras promise rich color and crisp texture with a 12-megapixel wide camera that can capture up to 50% more light and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera.
Every phone in the iPhone 13 series is equipped with an A15 bionic chip that promises smoother performance and more power efficiency. According to Apple, the new models are about 50% faster than leading smartphones on the market. They also offer faster 5G capability and improved battery life with the 13 Mini and 13 Pro providing up to 1.5 more hours of use compared to the 12 Mini and 12 Pro, respectively and the flagship iPhone 13 as well as the 13 Pro Max lasting 2.5 hours longer than the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro Max, respectively.
The iPhone 13 Mini starts at U.S. $699 (roughly P34,821) while the iPhone 13 starts at U.S. $799 (roughly P39,802). Both the 13 and the 13 Mini are available in 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB memory capacities.

The Pro lineup comes in the same size capacities as the 13 and 13 Mini, but have the added bonus of offering Apple's first ever 1 TB models. The Pro lineup will be available in Gold, Silver, Graphite, and Sierra Blue.
