The Apple iPhone 13 Pro has a triple-lens rear camera system, consisting of a:

12MP Wide camera with a faster ƒ/1.5 aperture, sensor-shift OIS, and 1.9µm pixels
12MP Ultra Wide camera with a wider ƒ/1.8 aperture and 120° field of view

The front-facing TrueDepth camera is also a 12MP sensor with a ƒ/2.2 aperture.

Here are some of the key features of the iPhone 13 Pro's cameras:

Sensor-shift OIS: This advanced optical image stabilization system helps to reduce camera shake, resulting in sharper images and videos, especially in low light.
Night mode: Night mode automatically kicks in when needed, allowing you to capture stunning photos and videos in low light conditions without using flash.
Deep Fusion: Deep Fusion uses machine learning to analyze multiple images and merge them into a single photo with the best possible detail and texture.
Smart HDR 4: Smart HDR 4 takes into account different lighting conditions and subject matter to automatically adjust the exposure, contrast, and saturation of your photos, resulting in more realistic and natural-looking images.
Photographic Styles: Photographic Styles allow you to customize the look of your photos with different presets. You can also create your own custom styles.
Apple ProRAW: Apple ProRAW is a RAW format that gives you more flexibility when editing your photos. It captures all of the sensor data, so you can make more precise adjustments to white balance, exposure, and other settings.
Cinematic mode: Cinematic mode allows you to create videos with a shallow depth of field, similar to what you might see in a movie. This can be used to create a more professional-looking look for your videos.

In addition to these features, the iPhone 13 Pro's cameras also offer a number of other capabilities, such as:

4K video recording at up to 60fps

The Importance of iPhone Main Camera Protector for iPhone 11 and Onward

The iPhone 11 and onward models have some of the most advanced camera systems on the market, capable of taking stunning photos and videos in even the most challenging conditions. However, the camera lenses on these devices are also delicate and can be easily damaged by scratches, dust, and other debris. This is where an external lens protector comes in.

A high-quality lens protector can help to protect your iPhone's camera lens from a variety of hazards, including:

Scratches: The camera lenses on iPhones are made of sapphire glass, which is a very hard material. However, it is not scratch-proof. Even minor scratches on the lens can impact the quality of your photos and videos. A lens protector can help to prevent scratches from occurring in the first place.
Dust: Dust can also degrade the quality of your photos and videos. A lens protector can help to keep dust and other debris away from the lens.
Impacts: If you drop your iPhone, the camera lens is one of the most vulnerable parts of the device. A lens protector can help to absorb some of the impact, reducing the risk of damage to the lens.

In addition to protecting the camera lens from damage, a lens protector can also help to improve the quality of your photos and videos in some cases. For example, some lens protectors are designed to reduce glare and reflections, which can improve the clarity of your images.

Overall, an external lens protector is a wise investment for any iPhone 11 or onward user who wants to protect their camera lens and ensure that they are always able to take the best possible photos and videos.

Here are some specific examples of the importance of an external lens protector for iPhone 11 and onward models:

Landscape photography: When shooting landscape photography, the camera lens is often exposed to dust and sand, which can cause scratches. A lens protector can help to protect the lens from these elements and ensure that your photos are clear and sharp.
Portrait photography: When shooting portrait photography, the camera lens is often close to the subject's face. This can increase the risk of the lens getting smudged or scratched. A lens protector can help to keep the lens clean and prevent smudges and scratches.
Low-light photography: When shooting in low-light conditions, the camera lens is more likely to pick up glare and reflections. A lens protector can help to reduce glare and reflections, resulting in clearer and more vibrant photos.

Overall, an external lens protector is an important accessory for any iPhone 11 and onward user who wants to protect their camera lens and ensure that they are always able to take the best possible photos and videos.

Election 2023: National will still need NZ First to form government, Westpac economist predicts. National will still need the support of New Zealand First to achieve a working majority in Government, according to Westpac's chief economist Kelly Eckhold.

How strong is a New Zealand passport?

It provides visa-free access to 187 countries. With a high mobility score it is one of the most desirable passports in the world.

Is NZ passport better than Australia?
Kiwis can have access to 187 countries visa-free. Meanwhile, those across the ditch are one behind — on 186 nations with visa-free travel access. Australia is in sixth place, tied with two other countries.

The 2023 New Zealand general election was held on 14 October 2023 to determine the composition of the 54th Parliament of New Zealand. The incumbent centre-left Labour majority government, led by Chris Hipkins, sought to win a third consecutive term in government. However, they were defeated by the centre-right National Party, led by Christopher Luxon.

The election was held in a time of economic uncertainty, with the country facing high inflation and rising interest rates. The National Party campaigned on a platform of economic growth and tax cuts, while the Labour Party campaigned on a platform of social justice and environmental protection.

The National Party won the popular vote by a margin of 2.5%, and won 65 seats in Parliament, compared to Labour's 55 seats. The Green Party won 10 seats, and the ACT New Zealand Party won 9 seats.

The election result was a surprise to many, as Labour had been the frontrunner in the polls for most of the campaign. However, the National Party's focus on economic issues resonated with voters, and Luxon was seen as a more competent leader than Hipkins.

The National Party formed a minority government with the support of ACT New Zealand. Luxon became the 42nd Prime Minister of New Zealand.

The 2023 New Zealand general election was a significant event in the country's political history. It marked the end of Labour's six-year period in government, and the beginning of a new era under the National Party.

The official results of the 2023 New Zealand General Election have not yet been released, as the counting process is still ongoing. However, preliminary results show that the Labour Party has won the most seats in Parliament, followed by the National Party.

As of October 16, 2023, the preliminary results are as follows:

Party	Seats
Labour	60
National	48
Green	12
ACT	10
Te Pāti Māori	4

This would give Labour a majority in Parliament, and would allow them to form a government without the need for a coalition partner. However, it is important to note that these are only preliminary results, and the final outcome of the election may be different.

The official results of the 2023 New Zealand General Election are expected to be released on Friday, November 3, 2023.
