Apple usually seeds a few photographers with early review units. Has anyone seen any sample photos from professional photographers yet?
 
XDA Developer's review has JPG files with EXIF data for iPhone 13 Pro Max. Based on the sample photos. the sensor size of the main camera is 1/1.7" and the telephoto/ultrawide cameras have 1/3.6". The main sensor area is around 3.6x larger than the telephoto/ultrawide.

The main sensor is now larger and faster than those 1/2.3" superzoom compact cameras (PowerShot SX730 HS, Nikon P1000). It even collects more light than the Sony RX100 VII- RX100 VII min aperture of f2.8 with a 2.72x crop factor (one-inch sensor) is equivalent to a full-frame f7.6. iPhone 13 pro max aperture of f1.5 with 4.55x crop factor is equivalent to a full-frame f6.8. Compared to budget DSLR with kit lens f3.5 and Sony RX100 with f1.8, the iPhone 13 pro main sensor is one-stop slower.

Most of the ultrawide low light improvements came from the larger aperture of f1.8. Compared to the f2.4 on the iPhone 12 pro, the f1.8 offers a one-stop light boost.

The 77mm telephoto f2.8 is 2/3 stops slower than the f2.2 65mm telephoto on the 12 pro max and one-stop slower than the 52mm f2.0 telephoto on the 11 pro.
