Time to upgrade.

Impressive cameras. 128 gigabytes of base storage. Longer battery life on the full-size model.

Battery on the Mini is a bit weak. Otherwise there’s not much to dislike.

The iPhone 13 isn’t a game changer for Apple’s series of smartphones, but it’s an important iteration that offers better battery life, a better processor and an upgraded camera setup than iPhones that have gone before it. If you’re looking for a fast and capable smartphone, and don’t need the extra features of the pricier Pro model, this is a top choice.

Strong battery life; Great design; Powerful internals;

Minimal design changes; No 120Hz screen; No Ceramic Shield on rear

Still a great all-around smartphone package, Includes most of the 'Pro' series' best feature, Design still looks great

Sure, you do miss out on a handful of nice-to-have features compared to the Pro model - including the telephoto zoom lens and 120Hz fast-refresh display - but the iPhone 13 is still an excellent all-round device that, importantly, doesn't cost quite as much.

Big and bright display; Great camera performance; Good battery - a clear boost over its predecessor; Solid performance;

No telephoto zoom lens; No fast refresh-rate display; Some camera shutter lag in low-light conditions;

A more powerful A15 Bionic chip and enhanced AI-powered camera tech could elevate your videos.
