Last year, Apple brought major camera improvements with the iPhone 12 Pro models. With the iPhone 13 series, Apple introduced the new sensor-shift stabilization on all four models. It was revealed last month that the iPhone 13 Pro camera performed better than the iPhone 12 Pro models. While this is usually the case with every new iPhone model, it is interesting to see that the standard iPhone 13 model outperformed the iPhone 12 Pro from last year in the DXOMark score.

According to DXOMark's findings, the iPhone 13 scored a “Photo score of 138,” which is a single point better than the iPhone 12 Pro and a “Video score of 117." In addition to this, the Zoom score was also better reaching 55 points. As mentioned earlier, Apple incorporated the sensor-shift stabilization system on the iPhone 13 series which was only present in the iPhone 12 Pro Max last year. This could potentially be the reason why the latest flagships from Apple scored better than last year's Pro model.
