When a new iPhone comes out, users have doubts as to whether the switch is worth making, especially if the jump is just one generation away. Taking into account the few visual changes that there are from the iPhone 12 to the 13, everything focuses on the interior and the novelties of the operating system. And there are several tricks on the iPhone 13 and 13 Pro which are very interesting.
The amount is large, but we are going to review the best tricks or those that you cannot find in another Apple model. It is a different way to release your brand new iPhone, that with the arrival of a new version of iOS, there are more or less hidden functions that you are going to love.
The best tricks for the iPhone 13 and 13 Pro
So let’s go with the functions that not all users know and that you can put into practice on both the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 Pro.
Meaning of the 5G icons
The iPhone 13 brings with it improved 5G connectivity over the previous generation. This serves to have a much higher connection speed, although the top bar of the terminal can show different icons. Apart from the normal 5G connection, it also shows 5G +, 5G UW and 5G UC, which are the highest frequencies in this network.
Activate Smart Mode
What also allows you to manage the iPhone 13 is the mobile data connection to take care of the autonomy of the terminal. The 5G network is more powerful, but it also consumes more battery. That is why it is important to be able to interleave between 5G and 4G easily. Smart Mode allows manage the use of 5G in certain applications or uses, such as downloading a file. To do this, go to Settings> Mobile data> Voice and data, and from there activate or deactivate the functionality.
Query the EXIF data of an image
What you can also do on your iPhone 13 or 13 Pro is to check the EXIF data of an image. This information describes the iPhone’s camera, ISO, image format, date, or location. To do this, open any image in the Photos app and click on the information button “i”, where all these details appear.
Night mode on all iPhone sensors …
Taking advantage of the new distribution of the lenses in the iPhone 13, Apple has implemented yet another function to its complete camera app. And it is that you can apply the night mode in all camera sensors when taking a photo in low light, both in the main, in the wide angle and in the telephoto lens of the iPhone 13 Pro.
… and how to deactivate it if you don’t want it
In case you want to disable the automatic activation of the night mode in all the sensors, you can also configure it. If in any situation this help does not favor you in a photo with low light, you just have to go to the app Settings> Camera> Keep settings and check the box “Night mode“.
Use iCloud private relay
Rather, it is a novelty of iOS 15 than exclusive to iPhone 13, with the difference that in this model you will have it by default. This function allows you to make a private broadcast through iCloud, hiding your IP address and your browsing activity in Safari, so that not even Apple can see which pages you visit. However, this feature is only available to paid users on iCloud, which can be activated from Settings> iCloud> Private Streams.
Drag and drop function
It is another of the novelties that Apple has brought for the arrival of the iPhone 13. This function allows you to move an image from the Photos app to any other application that you have open, through multitasking. You can also move files, documents or anything else you want to transfer.
Record Videos in Dolby Vision
It’s not really a new feature on the iPhone 13 as it was available in the previous generation. However, this function of recording at 4K and 60 FPS was only intended for the Pro model of the iPhone 12. The novelty in this case is that there is no limitation, so it is compatible for both the iPhone 13 and its mini and Pro versions .
Record cinematic videos
As with Dolby Vision, the iPhone 13 and 13 Pro have the interesting novelty of power record cinematic videos. This format is more professional, where the image is given a bokeh-style blur to keep the subject in focus and the background out of focus. It is a way to record at a higher level.
Take photos and record macro videos
It is a function reserved for the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max, which have the ultra-wide sensor to take both macro photos and videos. You just have to zoom in on an object and the mode will change automatically.
Track your iPhone 13 even off
A novelty that Apple has implemented in iOS 15 is that you can track your iPhone when it’s off. As the iPhone 13 and 13 Pro mount this version by default, you will not have problems finding your iPhone if your mobile is stolen or if it has run out of battery and you cannot find it.
