Apple this week dropped a pair of new ads for iPhone 13, highlighting its newest handset’s brilliant battery life and durability.

Apple drops new iPhone 13 ads

Both clips were uploaded to Apple’s official YouTube channel on Thursday and are likely to appear on TV screens soon.

Apple has also published a new film, shot on iPhone 13 Pro, to celebrate the Chinese New Year. “The Comeback,” directed by Zhang Meng, tells the story of “a father, a son and a forgotten village with an out-of-this-world dream.”
