Compared to the predecessor iPhone 12 Pro, the brightness has been significantly increased, now it reaches 1050 cd/m2 with the ambient light sensor on, which is quite many. In the APL50 test, the peak brightness has practically not changed (APL50: 1062 cd/m2). If the ambient light sensor is disabled, the maximum brightness is 855 cd/m². According to the definition of Apple developers, the peak brightness of the display is HDR 1200 cd/m2.

iPhone 13 Pro is the first iPhone equipped with a ProMotion screen with an adaptive refresh rate from 10 to 120 Hz. Here are some of the brightness characteristics of the iPhone 13 Pro according to the results of the X-Rite test:

• maximum – 1067 cd/m² (nits);
• the average value is 1058.2 cd/m²;

Screen Flicker / PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)

• To dim the screen, some smartphones cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession, a method called pulse-width modulation (PWM). This cyclic frequency should ideally be imperceptible to the human eye. If it's too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches, or even notice flickering that causes discomfort.

The display backlight flickers with a frequency of 510 Hz (PWM is used in the device). Flickering occurs when the brightness is set to 100% and below. This is a fairly high frequency, which means that most users should not notice the flickering. For comparison: 53% of all smartphones on the market do not use this technology at all!

Overall, the iPhone 13 Pro 128 BU screen (and other configurations) has very accurate color reproduction (with True Tone turned off). In a dark environment, the screen produces less blue light, thus protecting the user's eyes.

On the street bu iPhone 13 Pro also impresses. The screen remains readable even in bright lighting conditions, in particular, thanks to effective anti-glare.

The viewing angles of the OLED panel are excellent. However, at very sharp angles, the brightness drops a bit, and the colors look cooler.

What is the screen of the iPhone 13 Pro: conclusions

The Apple smartphone provides readability of the display indoors and outdoors. HDR10 is responsible for proper brightness, high contrast and color management. Residents of Kharkiv note that even at an angle, the shades of images on the screen are not distorted. If you try to highlight the shortcomings, the iPhone 13 Pro sometimes "yellows" a little, and the blue filter can slightly affect the color rendering.

In the DXOMARK tests, the Apple iPhone 13 Pro is only one point behind the 13 Pro Max. Comparing the two smartphones, the 13 Pro's color rendering in images viewed indoors has a slightly more orange tint. On the other hand, the iPhone 13 Pro screen has better color uniformity across the screen than its bigger brother. In fact, the only reason the 13 Pro is inferior to the 13 Pro Max is that the 13 Pro has a smaller screen-to-body ratio.

Well, the 13 Pro's screen looks pretty solid. Apple's newer flagships are inferior, except in terms of brightness, and a couple or three improved parameters.
