Apple’s new iPhones are often very expensive. The iPhone 13, for example, is almost as expensive as the iPhone XS Max with 512GB storage, which costs $200 more. If you want to buy the cheapest model with 64GB storage, you will have to pay $1300 for it. That’s a lot of money for a smartphone. But if you think about it, most of us probably spend that much or more on our phones every year anyway. After all, it’s not like you get the old models thrown in when you buy a new one; they just keep adding new features and hiking up prices on the same phone again and again. Still, this doesn’t mean that you should spend that much on your next phone if you don’t have to…
Design and Display of iPhone 13
The iPhone 13 has a 6.5-inch Full HD+ display. It’s a good-looking screen that’s sharp enough, but it doesn’t have the HDR capabilities of the more expensive models. The iPhone 13’s bezels are quite thick, which is something you don’t get with most newer Android phones. It feels big and clunky in the hand, but at the same time, it’s easy to hold, thanks to the curved edges. The iPhone 13 is available in three colours – black, white, and blue. The blue colour looks really nice, but it attracts fingerprints like a magnet, so you’ll have to clean it a lot.
Camera of iPhone 13
The iPhone 13 has a triple-camera setup on the rear. The primary sensor is a 48MP f/2.2 sensor, while the other two are a 13MP f/2.2 sensor and a 8MP f/3.6 telephoto sensor. This is the same setup that you get on the iPhone 11 Pro models. The rear cameras are capable of taking some really nice shots, but the difference is that on the iPhone 13, you can only shoot in 4K resolution, while on the 11 Pro models, you can shoot in 4K and 4K HDR. You can also record 1080p videos at 60fps on the iPhone 13, but where you can record 4K video at 60fps on the 11 Pro models. The iPhone 13’s front-facing camera is a 7MP f/2.2 wide-angle sensor, which takes good selfies, but the difference between it and the 13MP f/2.2 sensor on the 11 Pro models is that the iPhone 13’s front camera doesn’t have the portrait mode or the portrait lighting mode that you get on the Pro models.
Battery Life of iPhone 13
The iPhone 13’s battery is a 3,300 mAh unit, which is smaller than the 3,500 mAh battery on the iPhone 11 models. Apple is known for its efficient software, so the iPhone 13 should easily last a day on a single charge. It’s also powered by a USB-C port, so it is fast charging capable. Where it falls short is in the support for wireless charging. The iPhone 13 also has a USB-C to Lightning adapter in the box, so you can use the same charging cable as the iPhone 11 models. If you’re looking to buy a new wall charger, you’ll have to spend some extra money on a USB-C charger.
Storage and Performance of iPhone 13
The iPhone 13 is available in two variants – 64GB and 256GB storage. If you’re planning to download a lot of media or store a lot of data on your phone, you may want to consider the 256GB variant. The iPhone 13’s performance is good and there are no issues with lagging or stuttering while you’re using it. If you’re coming from an older iPhone model, you’ll be pleased to find that it’s just as snappy as the current models.
Conclusion
The iPhone 13 is a good phone, but it’s pretty expensive for what it is. If you want a bigger screen, then the iPhone 13 is definitely worth considering, but if you’re looking for a smaller phone with a better camera and better battery life, you’re better off choosing the iPhone 11 models. The only thing that the iPhone 13 has over the 11 models is that it has a larger screen, but the difference is really not that big. And the price difference is huge. So if you’re looking for a bigger phone, the iPhone 13 is a good option, but if not, then you’re better off going with the iPhone 11.
