    The iPhone 13 Pro has it all. In addition to taking great and quality photos, the macro photography mode can still be useful in doctors' offices. According with the doctor. Tommy Kron, ophthalmologist and digital healthcare innovation specialist at Sharp Healthcare in San Diego, Calif., the cell phone camera helps him in his work.

    For the specialist, the device is an important tool for emergency workers in remote areas without ophthalmic services. In addition, the cell phone makes it possible to show the results of the exams immediately to patients.

    In the comments of the posts, other doctors in the area opine on the use of the iPhone 13 Pro in consultations. For ophthalmologist Dr. Jeffrey Lewis, this is "another way to impress, manage and cultivate long-term relationships with patients."

    Camera system advancement

    According to Apple, the iPhone 13 Pro's macro photography mode is seen as the "biggest advancement in the camera system" for mobile devices. So, instead of an additional sensor, the device uses computational photography to achieve "ultra-close-up" images.



    Through this technology, users can capture sharper images with a minimum distance of 2 centimeters. In this way, the resource can really be an important tool for ophthalmologists.



    Finally, it is worth mentioning that the iPhone 13 Pro has a rear camera module, which is formed by 3 12 MP sensors. Furthermore, the device has a digital zoom of up to 15x.
