iPhone 13 has new 'space mode' that takes amazing pics of the night sky
APPLE has created a new version of its “space mode” to take better pictures of the night sky on iPhone 13 Pro. The new smartphone was unveiled last night – with a faster processor, impr…

I’m also curious about this. I love taking night sky pics. I don’t have a tripod. I either try my not so steady hand or lean it on something on my rail and use the watch as a remote shutter. I’m sure with more light being let in, it will take better pics and then edit after. Here’s an example of Orion (

Good stuff! I have managed to capture similar images with my current iPhone. I hope the story I linked to does prove to be true, but so far anyway, I haven't found any confirmation elsewhere
I hate to tell you, that is Orion, the Hunter, not Sagittarius. Still, very nice.
Here's a pic I took of Comet NEOWISE in July 2020, in an urban environment.

in the article of The Sun, they mention that astrophotography is possible due to the larger sensor.
And iPhone 13 and 13 Pro share exactly same sensor this year.
I hope I will test it on my 13

Well, the article (which may not be accurate of course) says this change to tripod exposures is specific to the Pro
In the keynote, there was one tiny throwaway line about wider bracketing in Night Mode when it senses you're mounted on a tripod. The mention had the night sky image we all saw behind it. It wasn't a big mention.
Well, that was embarassing. I exported at 200 pixels instead of 2000. Here's the full size. Not amazing, but still I was impressed.

Perhaps it's more of some tweaking to night mode, rather than advertising a full blown feature. Astrophotography is tough. My comet was with a tripod + Night Mode.
The 2 Pro Versions have a sensor with bigger pixels than the 2 "normal" versions.
From the data the 13 mini and 13 have the 1,7 micron sensor from the 12 Pro Max.
The 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max have a bigger 1,9 micron sensor...
Also, the telephoto lens has night mode for the first time 
THAT I look forward to!
THAT I look forward to!according to the info on the bottom right , only 10s exposure was used to take this photo, thats pretty impressive if the 30s option is still there
yeah, thats more likely it, if the photo could get any better im sure theyd show it
Of course that’s not just the photo. It’s an enhanced photo using LR or something. I never get mine that good and I live in the sticks. I get great views of the night sky when its clear out.
Hello
Here is mine, took it right now
Not so bad, could be better of course but the Milky Way is near of the sunset
